Works on 4.1 AOSP/JB ROMS ONLY

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Copy the file to the /system/app folder on your device using a root explorer like ES File Explorer or similar.
2. Then, set the permissions of the DeskClock.apk file to RW- R– R–. However, before you copy over the APK, make sure to rename the original DeskClockGoogle.apk file (and also DeskClockGoogle.odex if the file is present) to something else to back it up, which you can then restore if needed by simply deleting the new file and renaming the old one again.
3. Reboot your device to be able to use the new clock.

If you still got problems, follow this--

Flash the zip. Reboot.Delete the original clock. Rename the new clock to DeskClock.apk( like the old one) Then delete /data/data/com.google.android.deskclock. Reboot. Now the both the clock and widget will work perfectly.

FLASHABLE ZIP

Works perfectly!

It works perfectly on my htc sensation, used the zip to install.
You have to disable the original clock to stop fc on opening alarm.

Thanks!

Flashed on my Gnex with Liquid and it crashes when trying to access the alarms.
My old clock was not removed.
Will try to remove it and check if it works.

Edit: Frozen the old clock on Titanium and now it works great!
Thanks for the work ;)

FCs on Samsung Infuse running Paranoid android 2.53. Sorry if this is not meant to be used on other devices than the Xperia Neo.

Going to try it on my CM10 infuse right now, will report findings.

EDIT: FAIL on both tries following normal apk or zip procedure. FC on reboot both times.
Not sure what's causing it, haven't looked into it yet.

Question for Hollywings...
Did you already have an alarm set before you installed this?
I'm wondering why were having problems with it.

do I have to flash the zip or just replace the apk file? I am running JB 4.1 on samsung galaxy s3 (official rom but rooted with insecure kernel).
If I only have to replace the apk file do I also have to install it or just reboot?

Thanks in advance

I disabled the old clock but I still get the FC when opening alarms. Did I miss something??

I'm running it on a CM10 EVO 4G LTE

All you need:
  1. OR wipe Desk Clock data with TB or manually via Settings -> Apps.
  2. OR manually delete /datadata/com.android.deskclock.

This part is very important and was the only way I was able to get it to work properly.

[*]OR manually delete /datadata/com.android.deskclock.
....then reboot

Works like a charm and is a nice upgrade from previous version.

Yup, I needed this also to stop from getting "Clock has stopped." after reboot or when going to alarms. Quite nice now but think i'll keep TWClock... Just love Smart Alarm :p

    Look at this and try to delete /datadata/com.android.deskclock or /data/data/com.android.deskclock, then reboot.

    Working great on my SIII. Here are the steps:

    1) Download APK.
    2) Move or rename original DeskClock.apk from /system/app
    3) Copy downloaded APK to /system/app and rename to DeskClock.apk
    4) Set permissions to RW-R--R--
    5) Reboot
    6) Clear app data in System Settings > Applications > Clock
