Android 13 might revamp screen savers with info overlays
Android 13 might revamp the operating system's screen saver support with more options and new widget-like info panels.
Google released the second Developer Preview of Android 13 last week, which contained plenty of changes and new features — some of which aren't quite ready for prime time yet. The update includes code that points to a future revamp for Android's built-in screen savers, which could arrive in later beta releases or the final version of Android 13.
This app turns any Widget into a Screensaver on Android 5.0+
Widget Screensaver does exactly what the name implies. Whenever the screen saver is enabled, the widget will be displayed on the screen.
Did you know Android has a native screensaver? It's not a feature that many people talk about. It used to be called "Daydream," but then Daydream VR became a thing and now it's simply called "screen saver." Regardless of the name, it's one area of Android that doesn't receive a lot of love. XDA Senior Member Humpie has created an app called Widget Screensaver that puts it to good use.
How to set a Custom Screen Saver on Huawei and Honor devices running EMUI
A tutorial on how to set a custom screen saver/DayDream on Huawei or Honor devices running EMUI. This is done through an ADB command, so no root needed.
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean introduced a feature called the daydream, which is essentially just an interactive screen saver that activates when the device is docked and/or charging. Third party developers can make their own screen savers which are accessible to the user in Settings → Display. Unfortunately, not every OEM allows their users to set a custom screen saver. Huawei and its sub-brand Honor, for instance, only gives their users a single screen saver option - the photo table option which acts as a slideshow.
