I made one that I use all the time. It sits on my desk where I plug my phone in to charge. When the phone is charging, Daydream turns on the Lucid - Daydream Screensaver app and turns my phone into my desk clock and notification/weather display. Much nicer having it facing me than facing straight up.
edit: app name, added link
Android has a daydream feature which can launch a suitable daydream app when charging
1-download a daydream app that can display battery, like "Lucid - DayDream Screensaver" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.ultimateDayDream
Everything else is done from android system settings....
2-settings / display / daydream / on
3-settings / display / daydream / overflow menu (three dots) / when to daydream/ when charging
4 -settings / display / daydream / ...tap slider button on the app you installed in step 1 (lucid daydream) to make sure android launches that particular app when it daydreams
5-settings / display / daydream / ....tap the gear icon next to lucid app in order to adjust lucid settings.....then within lucid settings, select "custom" tab, and within that tab, check battery. If you poke around those settings you'll see you can adjust the size and colour of the text..and you can add a lot of other things to your daydream screen.
When phone daydreams, the text will move around so that it doesn't burn in on your amoled screen
Hi! I can suggest you the Lucid Daydream. It's free (with some limitations) and you can only load local photos. But if you want the paid version, it is a lot more cheap (Lucid cost about 1$ or 2$) than Fotoo (about 20$).
I've left mine plugged in 24/7 with the screen on for the past 2 years with no issues. It's always in screen saver (formally daydream) mode using the Lucid DayDream app.
Thank you. Been looking through a lot of these and the best for me seems to be Lucid DayDream but it's still not exactly what I am looking for.
I found this app called Scarlett which is closer to what I am looking for but it's a Chromecast app. Really cool app though. I'll have to keep looking around
after a quick search of "RSS DAYDREAM" this showed up, it doesn't look as good but you might want to try out. Glad i could be helpful
I have similar issues with my n7 2013. I use this to turn it into a clock/info tablet

It's not exact but it is close.
Sorry, had the wrong name. It's apparently Lucid - Daydream Screensaver.
