Lucid automatically starts when you put your device in the dock or when you charge it. The app is very customizable and comes with a lot of functionallity, like:

Clock: Show the current time & date and can also show...
... battery level
... weather
... unread GMails
... new SMS texts
... missed calls
... next alarm
... many more information from most DashClock extensions

RSS view: flips through new events from your RSS feeds

Slideshow view: start a slideshow with images from your device

On Android 4.2+ you need to enable the "DayDream" in the Android display settings to use & configure the app! Note that the system won't start the daydream if you're display is kept awake! Make sure to disable the "Keep awake while charging" option in the Android developer settings (if you have enabled that before). On Samsung devices, make sure to disable the "keep display on while eye contact is detected" option (or how they call that)

You can use the identifiers here http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html to change the time and date format

User reviews

Im loving this app so far. I was looking for a screensaver that did a random order slideshow of a specific set of pictures while phone is docked and/or charging. And this app is the only 1 i found that does exactly what i want. The only feature i wish was added is the ability to dim the screen with the picture slideshow screensaver. You can set it to dim the screen when using the clock, but not with the picture slideshow. Other than that, its an amazing app. Worth checking out for sure. 👍 👍

The clock works well on Android TV, but the slideshow doesn't. It just says "no images found" even though I have plenty of local images. If you just want the clock though, it's great.

Easy to set up and operate. Occasionally, time & date info moves to prevent data from being burned onto the screen. Also, very lightweight on the device's internal storage, and it has the capability to transfer app to external storage if desired. Neat! Thanks.
