like the always on screen (sleeping screen) which shows a clock/notifications/pictures (its customizable and you can select as many images as you want they rotate)

I read that Android has something called Daydreams which is essentially the same thing but I read that Daydreams only goes on when the phone is docked/charging (and the only threads i could find discussing this are almost a year old)

Is there anything that's always on in place of a blank standby screen?

this is what i mean by Nokias Sleeping Screen




here's a video of an early beta version




I love the feature so am hopeful that I can find something exactly like it
I use Dynamic Notifications.

It only really works well on an OLED screen though - because it only needs to light those specific pixels - rather than the whole screen... Only downside - notifications like gmail/google hangout/facebook - that disappear automatically if you check them on another device - won't disappear with this app. I like it though.
