Lucid is a fantastic Android application that allows you to completely personalize the appearance of your phone's clock. And the best part? It's completely free! Well, almost... The free version is only valid for 30 minutes at a time. But don't fret, if you love it, you can continue using it by purchasing the full version for just 0.99 EUR / 1.49 USD directly within the app.

The app is highly customizable and packed with great features. It automatically launches when you connect your device to a dock or charger. The clock display on the app shows the time, date, battery level, weather, unread Gmail messages, new text messages, missed calls, upcoming alarms, and additional information from DashClock extensions. Additionally, there is an RSS view that scrolls through updates from your preferred sources and a slideshow view showcasing pictures from your device.

In order to use and set up the app on Android 4.2+ devices, you need to enable the 'DayDream' feature in your Android display settings. Keep in mind that if your display is always active, the system will not activate the daydream mode. Therefore, remember to disable the 'Keep awake while charging' option in your Android developer settings if you had previously enabled it. For Samsung users, make sure to turn off the 'keep display on while eye contact is detected' feature (or similar feature). Additionally, if you want to customize how the time and date are displayed, use the fancy identifiers provided in the app. Enjoy!

The application requires multiple permissions in order to function properly. It utilizes the Device Administrator permission to automatically lock your device when the daydream feature is activated. Additionally, it requires permissions to display weather information, download RSS feed/weather/slideshow images, activate the camera flashlight, retrieve RSS feeds from your Google account, showcase upcoming events, notify you of missed calls, show unread SMS count, and save RSS feeds for future use.

Overall, Lucid is a very useful app for people who want to customize and personalize the clock display on their Android device. The free version is great for trying it out, and if you like it, the full version is affordable.
