Activate Daydream

Here, you can choose what your device will display when daydreaming. Standard choices include Clock a clock, duh, Colors slowly-changing colors, photo Frame a photo slideshow, and Photo Table. Scattered photos that you can tap and move, best for tablets. Some display types, such as Clocks, Photo Frame, and Photo Table, have advanced settings. Colors do not. Choose a display type; hit the gear icon next to the title to enter that type’s advanced settings menu. In the Clock, you can choose a clock style, digital or analog, or set it to Night mode. Which gives you a more subdued color scheme.

Select Your Display

You can set it at the bottom of the Daydream settings screen when Daydream appears. Select dream time to have Daydream appear when your phone is docked. When your phone is charging, or during both times. Now, instead of turning the screen off when you plug your phone in. Your screen will default to displaying a clock, colors, or a selection of photos. But wait! This is Android, not some closed-platform nonsense, which means you are not limited to Daydream’s standard options. Would you prefer your interactive screensaver to be a webpage, a calendar, or even a more excellent clock? Hit the Play Store to find tons of free Daydream apps that add more options to your Daydream settings screen. I’ll highlight some of the prettiest, most useful apps very soon!
