There are plenty of hidden features in your Android operating system that you may not be aware of! One such feature is the Daydream that allows you to turn your big screened tablet or smartphone into a great looking digital clock or a photo frame.

The feature allows you to display almost anything that you want on your device and it’s so easy to activate it. Just go to Settings > Device > Display where you will find the option Daydream under the Screen category. The option will be available under Settings > Display in newer Android versions, as the Kit Kat 4.4

Click on Daydream and it will instantly be activated. There you go, the job is done! Now, let’s customize it the way you want.

Customizing Your Screen

A bunch of choices will be provided to you when you enter the Daydream customization screen. The clock will show a ‘clock’ and the colors option will display slowly changing colors in a palette. There‘s also Google photos which will retrieve pictures from your social account and Photo Frame which offers a photo slideshow. The Photo Table is a similar function which scatters all the pictures in your gallery that you can move across – an option best suited for large screen tablets!

Most options will have a gear icon on the right side that lets you customize it further. For example, there’s digital and analog clock to choose from while photo frame lets you choose a particular folder as a source for the images. You can also make the app retrieve photos from Facebook, Instagram or just your camera roll.

Choose When

After the customization process, you have to choose when Daydream should show up. It can be during ‘while docked’ or ‘while charging’ or both. Now, instead of going blank, your screen will now display beautiful images, the time or anything you love.

Daydream Apps

The Google Play Store has lots of Daydream apps to choose from which allows even more customization tools and some creative display options to beautify your device. Try them all!
