Anyone using Daydream?

[holybob]

OK, I've been looking at Chromecast but the big problem is that I want a screensaver on my TV showing all my photos (like Windows MCE). So I've dusted of my MK808B and played around with the new-found Daydream function. It works a treat on my Samsung Galaxy S3, but on the MK808B I can't find any way to specify the timeout (i.e. when the daydream function will start). I've tried stock ROM (4.2.2) and the latest Finless but the Screen timeout setting on my S3 simply isn't there.

Has anyone got this to work?

I use this application https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....screentimeout to set the timeout for daydream. Also I use Timely https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...bitspin.timely
which has a a beautiful set of clocks and themes that looks fantastic on my 50inch LED TV.
I installed them in Finless 2.1 and they work great.
BTW, in daydream settings>when to daydream pick the third option ("Either").

Thanks, that's brilliant - I'd tried a couple of different apps to control the screen timeout, but they just blanked the screen - they didn't send it into Daydream mode. It's now working perfectly thanks.
