I used to use DockClock on my S4. I just added it to my N5 and will see how it does.

Nightstand Bold (Possibly not in the play store anymore)
I use an app called Nightstand Bold. I can't seem to find it on playstore anymore - maybe the publisher removed it.
But it is probably the most beautiful nightstand clock app.
I did find this link
http://m.downloadatoz.com/apps/org.guesswork.nightstand_bold,160221/screenshots.html
you can download an apk from here - but I'm not really sure about the website, as in is it safe or not....

Daydream, under Display options. If apps are designed with that purpose, you will there those that can get automatically activated when you put your phone on the charger or stand.
If you search for Daydream on Google play, you should be able to find apps that fulfill this.
As a simple example - Google's clock does it just fine. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock&hl=en.
i really prefer to find an app which allow me to choose which app will pop up when the phone is docked.... any suggestions ??

#io16, this app is very minimalistic. I highly recommend you to try this one.

I use this. Works perfect for me with the wireless charging dock.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mpelant.deskclock&hl=en
After you install, go under display settings to the screensaver and select ClockPlus. You can change settings like brightness if you tap the gear icon. And if you select MORE in the upper right part of the main screensaver screen, you can select when to launch the screensaver.

Whenever the Play is plug into the DK300, it will automatically start the CLOCK application, and map the HOME button to CLOCK application. Is there anyway to prevent that or change the auto launch application?
Thanks in advance.
found my own answers - by using the software from market , dock nothingness OR Dock no-OP.
Thanks
thats good. i believe you can also change it from liveware manager in you pre-installed apps. if you go there you can see the dock (when its connected) and it has app launch and you can remove the clock app.
just you liveware manager.
I would get one if you could set it do a slide show and use it like a picture frame.
Or can you?

You can, actually. It's one of the features of the dock mode. It presents the images on your Gallery as a slideshow.
BTW, I can't find anything on LiveWire which allows you to set up the dock mode. Is it perhaps because I haven't updated the phone (and currently can't)?
At any rate, Dock Nothingness did what I wanted, which was the same as the OP. If I want to launch the clock app, I can do so by myself, thank you very much.

Lol that's what happened to me. I thought that after connecting the dock to my Xplay for the 1st time the dock would appear there on LiveWire, but it doesn't. xD
i started this post cos livewire does not have that option
anyway, enjoy your xperia play and push up my thanks meter please.

On my streak there was an option to keep the screen on when charging, but doesn't seem to be there on the note, anyone know why?
This option is not available in the Galaxy Note.
You can overcome this by downloading the free app from the market.
App is called "SOFFT" short for "Screen Off Timeout". The "stay on" when
charging option is available in this apps and you can also custom your time
timeout in seconds or never time timeout as per your choice.
Try it. Very useful. I am using it in my Note.
Tried to find that app under full and abbreviated , but no joy, can
you post link to the market ?

Personally, I used StayAwake which does the same job: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gmail.developer.runks.enji
So, which app does let you set the default lockscreen timeout ?
There is no system setting for it. If you use a PIN you have to finish a digit every 4 seconds otherwise you are screwed, and have to start again.
Also, my solarsystem live wallpaper is a joy to watch , so how do I make that last longer than 4 seconds?
Just put Samsungs enerysave (whatever it called in eng) widget on the homescreen and toggle screentimeout to never whenever charging the phone. problem solved.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.flash.lisght.widget
Very small, well made, free, good looking.
I like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.colinmcdonough.android.torch
Super simple, light weight and works well on Note.
I prefer the one in quick settings. Easy to get to and works well.

"Quick Settings" is an app in the market. You can have it reside in the notification panel, and open it from there. The top right of the window shows a flashlight icon. That can be either configured for the LED light, or the screen.
Why don't you use the flashlight widget on the phone by default? It has 3 settings and it's really convenient. I use it all the time.
I never seen Flash light widget by default on Note. At least not on my Note, there isn't one in list of Widgets to add by default.
Or is it hidden somewhere?

The one that came with my note is called 'Torch' in my widget list. But I am not using this widget anymore.
Thanks mate, i'm downloading now
As I couldn't find any Daydream for my finally arrived Nexus 7 Dock which fulfills all my needs, I started developing my own one. I'm quite happy with the result and present you:
Lucid - DayDream Screensaver
The main screen of the screensaver is the clock view, which you can see in the 1st attached screenshot. Besides the moving clock & date it can also show:
battery level
weather
unread GMails
missed calls
new SMS texts
next alarm
Also, you get buttons at the bottom to:
toggle night-mode (dim the screen)
start RSS view (3rd screenshot)
start Slideshow view
play/pause music (not every music app is supported)
You can change nearly every color/text size from the configuration screen. On Android 4.2, you'll find the Daydream in the Android settings app -> Display -> Daydream. For older versions, there is a launcher icon in your app drawer and the app can automatically start when the device is connected to a power source or placed in a dock.
The app comes as a trial version, in which the use of the daydream is limited to 30 minutes. You can purchase the full version from an in-app option for a fair 0.50 EUR / 0.99 USD.
Download: Play Store
The screensaver should work with every 4.0+ device, however I could only test it on my Nexus 4 & 7. So if you have any issues, let me know

Hi j4velin,
I purchased your app.
Just 2 things :
When i purchase, the only thing that changed is "Purchase App" disappeared.
Is this correct / ok ?
Secondly, if i want to change date format, can i make it into
dd.MMM, YYYY or something like that ?
thanks

it also removed the 30 min limit on the daydream, but that's currently all. and i'll maybe implement some premium-only features in the future

Hi, thanks for the build.
- first good news. After installing new apk, When going to the modules - night mode, everything is working fine.
- now the bad news - when i selected checkbox (checkbox was hidden behind text darken to 0%" ), screen went off. Now i'm not able to disable checkbox ;-(. When i'm going again to the night mode plugin - screen is going off.
- how to delete application settings without loosing license data?

okay, i'll change that again in the next version. you should be able to delete the apps data in the Android settings, it should restore your license automatically
edit: attached another version which gives you a 3 seconds countdown before actually turning the brightness to 0%

perfect. 3 seconds is quite short time.. but i can handle it.
Thanks very much for support.

P.S. automatic dimming based on the light in Lux is nice feature. i like that.
P.S.S. When changing value of a Lux and i'll put 5.0 and after that delete, delete, delete (to have empty value). Application stops responding.
I just started using this last night. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to update notifications when they come in while the daydream is opened. It only shows the one's it knows about when launched. Is it just me? If not, is there any way to change this?
i recently purchased your app and I love it but is there any way you would be able to have lucid daydream set as default action when it is docked, currently when i dock my phone i get a "Complete action using" pop-up before you app starts. It would be great if you added this to your app, I've added a picture to show what pops up.

what Android version do you use? does Lucid actually start when you dock your device? have you rebooted once?
Great app but the cpu usage is always used to its maximum. Also I'm missing one function . I don't want my phone to be turned on while night so it would be great if You would add some options to disable Your app between set time.

Hi,
another request from me. On Slcd display it's setting brightness on maximum when Daydream is activated.
Can it not change brightness?

when not using the "night-mode", the app should set the display brightness to 10% if it's not already darker. when using the night mode you can set it to 0% on supported devices
Thank you for this!
Seems nice, willing to take a try.
Please disable lockscreen as in the android clock day dream. One of my primary uses is as a screen saver where I don't have to unlock I can just swipe the screen. Why would you need screen lock if it's on a charger/docked.
Thanks. Best daydream app so far. Worth the money

Where is AM/PM?
So where exactly is the option for AM/PM? This is usually "t" or "tt" but I noticed that your App seems to have left this out, although not all of us are in the military NOR do we venture outside our "box" so we need to know if it is DAY or NIGHT without looking outside.
Can you please add this?
Thanks.

Possible to save layouts
Swipe left or right to change layout.
Adaptive Mode:
1. Make a list with the apps launched the more often with any of the other list.
2. Allow to sort any list following their app usage.
3. Possible to stick the number of apps you choose at the beginning of an adaptive list.
4. Filter the apps usage reports (by date, hours, location...) to get the right apps when you need them.
5. Sync or merge reports between android phones using it.
6. Backup your data so that every time you get a new phone, the app usage data just get bigger and the adaptive mode better.
** This is still a beta version with only one app list and basic adaptive mode **
In current state, the adaptive mode will only sort the app list by globlal usage and can't be disabled.

Kinda nice, but there's no way to see the time on it. I'm pretty partial to seeing the time on my watch, LOL.
How does this work? Side load onto Gear?
This should be a home screen widget.. would be perfect for novalauncher or any other third party launchers for that matter..
Kind of pointless if you ask me..

i have exactly the same feeling. no offence, but i can't find a single use for this that i won't get with nova launcher.
i'm not a developer, but i think we need more apps that are optimized for gear - and i don't mean a launcher like this, but apps like voice recorder, music player, perhaps a text reader.

It's not a launcher, it's to be used with other launchers to access easily the apps you use most.
