Feature lost in time, powered off alarm?

[kipue]

Hi all, there is something that quite bugs for a while:
Why did the feature of all phones before the arrival of "modern OSes" that allow phones to still activate for alarm when powered off disappear?
I remember noticing this, and been annoyed by this, since the better versions of Windows Mobile, (Touch Flo 3D, good times!).
Anyone has a technical explanation to this? why will this not be supported by Android? IOS does it, right?
Also I think some people like Chainfire tried to do this at some point?

Thanks!

Yes he did, he made an app called NoMoarPowah check it out on here. I know that you need a kernel that supports the correct modules to make this work, that doesn't mean it doesn't work though....my Galax S1 used to work perfectly with this fantastic app (prior to ICS that was though).

Will be looking into this kind of support for my S3 LTE
