Known issues

-DST is sometimes 'forgotten' while running in background as AlertService, app/service needs to be restarted to get DST again.
-DST used is same as phone, so time is inaccurate if configured for a timezone currently using a different DST offset.
-Timezone detection is extremely limited due to inconsistency between definitions in Java and Heavens-Above.
-3 crash reports listed below:

-IndexOutOfBoundsException in ArrayList.throwIndexOutOfBoundsException()
-NullPointerException in Calendar.setTime()
-NullPointerException in Uri$StringUri.<init>()
