Lucid is this cool Android app that lets you totally customize your clock display on your phone. And guess what? It won't cost you a dime! Well, kind of... The free version only lasts for 30 minutes straight. But don't worry, if you're hooked, you can keep using it by buying the full version for just 0.99 EUR / 1.49 USD within the app itself.

The app is super customizable and has tons of cool features. It starts up automatically when you dock or charge your device. The clock display shows the time, date, battery level, weather, unread GMails, new texts, missed calls, next alarm, and more from DashClock extensions. Plus, there's an RSS view that flips through updates from your favorite feeds and a slideshow view with pictures from your device.

To use and set up the app on Android 4.2+ devices, you gotta turn on the 'DayDream' feature in your Android display settings. Just a heads up, if your display is always active, the system won't activate the daydream mode. So make sure to disable the 'Keep awake while charging' option in your Android developer settings (in case you turned it on previously). For Samsung users, don't forget to turn off the 'keep display on while eye contact is detected' feature (or whatever they call it). And hey, if you wanna change how the time and date appear, use those fancy identifiers provided in the app. Have fun!

The app needs a bunch of permissions to work smoothly. It uses the Device Administrator permission to lock your device automatically when the daydream kicks in. It also needs permissions to show weather info, download cool RSS feed/weather/slideshow images, switch on the camera flashlight, fetch RSS feeds from your Google account, show upcoming events, tell you about missed calls, show unread SMS count, and store RSS feeds for later use.

All in all, Lucid is a super handy app for folks who want a clock display on their Android that they can tweak and make their own. The free version is perfect for giving it a test run, and if you're hooked, the full version won't break the bank.
