3.4 Change screensaver on your device - dikodahan/dikodahan.github.io GitHub Wiki

Background

The default screensaver option for Android TV devices is not bad to begin with, however, there are some better options out there. Some good options are Aerial Views, Dreamy and Blaze.

  • Aerial Views brings stunning 4K video fly-through experience from the Apple TV devices (which are AMAZING!) to the Android based devices.
  • Dreamy bring amazing looking still photos from a wide gallery with the ability to also filter based on a specific topic as well.
  • Blaze gives you a selection of fireplace options with wood crackling sounds.

Choose the relevant option below based on your device to configure this.

Google/Android TV based Devices (Android OS version 7+ recommended)

  1. From the Unlinked app store, download and install whichever screensaver app based on your preference under the Screensaver section.
  2. Once installed, run it. They will either prompt you to set up the system settings, or within their settings you will see an option to open the system screensaver options. Make sure to open the system settings for it.
    1. Just in case you cannot find it, go to Settings > System (Google TV) / Device Preferences (Android TV) > Screen Saver.
  3. Click on Screen saver > choose the screensaver app you've downloaded.
    1. It may open the screensaver's settings menu. configure it as you see fit (which photos/videos to show, with clock, with location name...).
    2. Click back when done to return to system screensaver settings.
  4. In the system settings you can configure the rest of your desired parameters:
    1. Idle time before starting the screensaver presentation.
    2. When to put the device to sleep, which will stop the screensaver and just go blank screen.
I have seen very few cases recently where the ability to change the screensaver on ATV/GTV devices is hidden from the settings menu. In these cases you can use the Screensaver Manager app (which is available under the Home Launcher section in the DIKO+ App Store) to change the default screensaver to your chosen one.
