I know daydream will work when the phone is charging, but I want that feature running all the time, even on battery.
Is there any hack that will allow me to do that?
Are there any other "screensavers" that will allow that to work?
I want to emulate Nokia N9's always on clock+info or Windows Phone's "Glance".
I'm using Galaxy Phones (S2 and S4 mini) and am willing to replace the original ROM for CM, PA, Replicant or whatever ROM supports this.
Thanks for any help.
Note: I know the battery will drain faster. Please don't remind me of that obvious fact. I have my reasons to want this.

Hi, Everbody
First of all excuse me for my bad English. I was a Galaxy s user until my phone was stolen. I am thinking of buying a Atrix, but before i do this i would love to know some things.
On my galaxy s it was very easy to make modification by flash en that kind of stuff. I want to know if this will be available for the artix to ? Manly i want to know if KERNEL modification is possible for faster, compatible, stable, and good battery life. On my galaxys these kernel modification really made a lot of differences. Other points are :
Improving the display or video and sound quality by modification of kernels.
Universal lagfixes Like changing the file system or something like this.
Brightness tweaks
Adjusted kernel HZ value to increase smoothness.
On atrix, the bootloader hasnt been hacked into yet but it is in progress so no kernels as of now. The problems suchs as lag fix and HZ values I feel are not neccesary on this device but I am sure we will see custom kernels soon enough
Thank you very much. I dont remember anything about bootloader with the galaxy s. Must be the downlaod mode in wich you can flash kernels in to the phone ?
Motorola has locked the bootloader on this device(and many others) so right now custom kernels are not possible and nobody knows when...if ever.
If you want kernels I would not hold out on the Atrix, it has an encrypted bootloader. This will be very hard to hack, but if anyone could do it it's the devs on XDA. If you want something on ATT that will give you lots of development options go for the inspire or buy another captivate. I bought the inspire and i like it alot. But you don't get the dual core and some other features that the atrix has. I guess you gotta just know what you want, either development or better specs. For me I will always go for the development.
I love development , but i also like the atrix. I get the feeling that motorola is not so development friendly. I'll wait a little longer maybe somebody can change this development problem.
Good day all
I used to have a Captivate (Galaxy SI) then the Note I. Once I purchase a device, I instantly flash a CM rom. It's been a year of suffer with the not-fully-supported Note. Frequent reboots, Bluetooth and UI glitches, heat and charging problems. It's easier to live with theses issues instead of living with TouchWiz.
Long story short, I'm planning to purchase a new device. What do you think the best high-end device (other than f#$%ing Samsung) in terms of CM support.
I know, I know that the Nexuses are best bets ! But I wanna explorer other options (screen size, SD, resolution, camera, etc) :victory:
I've seen people give appraisals on Oppo Find 5.
You precious advices and suggestions brothers.

well you can buy a nexus, some devices in sony are open sourced..or better you can buy a google play edition phone :good:
Where do you think CM would perform better... on Google Edition phones or the Open Source Sony ones.

CM is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code.
in conclusion phones like Nexus will always have a CM support.
Also visit HERE to see a list of supported devices.
Gens, I fully understand your inputs. For instance, my Note, which has been receiving its share of the nightlies and RCs. So far, I'm still getting heat problems, lags, bluetooth connectivity issues, battery drains.
I'm not looking for supported device. I'm trying to find almost(fully) supported high-end device. So far, I found that my best bet could be
1-Oppo Find 5
2-Xperia Z
3-Qualacomm-based Galaxy devices ?
What do you think the best of them could be ?

Oppo FFInd 5 is the one.:good:
I bought my Galaxy S5 a couple of months ago and I still have this S2. I'm really not sure what to do with this phone. Not gonna sell it away because it is an awesome phone.
But here I'm planning: (I'm sure there are a lot of people like me, not sure what to do with their old S2 now.)
- build a media center.
But this requires sammy ROM so it could be connected to the TV using HDMI.
- try out new ROMs.
Yeah awesome idea.
- use it as an IP Camera.
- use it as an "iPod"
I have some questions regarding these choices.
1) shall I stick to sammy jellybean or upgrade to KitKat? I'm currently using kikat on this S2 but I would like to use it on the TV
2) will it have any problems if I let my S2 stick on he charger 24/7? If only I would like to use it as an IP camera. Will it have any effects on the battery/motherboard?
I hope fellow S2 members can discuss all this here. Thanks!

I am not an s2 user anymore for 1,5 years but.
1) you can stick to jellybean stock if you want it for your tv but I suggest to use a custom rom based on stock jellybean, look in the dev forums there are a couple of it.
2) I am not sure or you will have any problems but just like on a laptop and other devices its not good to let a battery charge for 24/7 so google it for sure for your own safety/phone life.
I also hope for you that other s2 member are going to discuss here with you
I dont see the point to stay on kitkat if you already have the s5. So I suggest to downgrade to an custom stock base rom since it would be also probably more bug free.
I really recommend using a custom stock rom such as neatrom for pure stability. If you prefer a little extra performance (and some new features), go with a kitkat rom such as cyanogenmod or paranoid android (and the list can go for ages).
I decided to go with JB NeatROM. Thanks for the advice guys! I find it more stable and faster as compared to KitKat. (Probably because I didn't use JB for months)
I'm thinking of buying SGS6E. Is there anything against doing it? How do u like stock rom? Is it possible to switch go CM or AOSP? Is battery life really that good? Are there any device related problems that do not allow to do something (like S3 one with closed drivers)?
Hi, I just joined XDA today and sorry for my newbie
I'm planning to own Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 sooner from my sister who already own Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, it was first time to using Android and Samsung brand and currently I am WP user and own Nokia Lumia 720 for two years.
I'll own this phone because of problematic of apps in Windows Phone such BBM and Path which no updates since earlier this year. Also I want to make Android more comfortable to use (such less RAM consumption) and actually I didn't really like Android because of performance issues mainly Samsung.
Which is best rooting software, I prefer rooting via PC.
So, I will replacing crappy stock ROM with custom ROM, I prefer lighter usage and customizable. CM12.1 or BlissPop? For Google apps prefer Gapps Minimalistic
And for battery saving and cleaning, which is the best apps? I know DU Apps well
For customization, I want the S6 Theme for Grand2. Which is the best? And I'll use another minimalistic lock screen
And many more that I can't mention, I want to make Android run faster, less bloating, and less battery hog in geek ways (like kernel method etc). Sorry for my bad English and my noobs!
