    I dont think that it can be done without getting an app ( and i think that it must be running in order to function; not like the stock clock which runs in the b/ground of course )

    Reasons for the 9 min snooze are plentiful: e.g.....

    "By the time the snooze feature was added in the 1950’s, the innards of alarm clocks had long been standardized. This meant that the teeth on the snooze gear had to mesh with the existing gear configuration, leaving engineers with a single choice: either 9 minutes or slightly longer than 10mins. Also reseach has shown that 10 minutes is too long, allowing people to fall back into a “deep” sleep, clock makers decided on the 9-minute gear, believing people would wake up easier and happier after a shorter snooze."

    Yeah, those 3rd party apps can be very hit and miss. Don't rely on them. From a programming point of view, they don't have the same inbuilt functionality and you mightn't get an alert at all.

    Probably the most interesting fact I've read on the net in a long time. Cheers!
