Bringing it for Z3 but not for S6. Smart move by developer. -__-

Hello patience, it'll happen on the Rom s7 because the kernel source just released another can of patience thank you

Try Clock plus daydream it looks like it does the same thing as the S7 and it's not really knocked any life out of my phones battery life (S6 Edge)

Lol how can it possibly drain your battery when only time daydream works is when either the phone is charging or its docked. -__-

Um it's an app so it runs without being in the dock or charging only trying to help but thanks for the heads up

Yes it's an app for daydream. It adds it to daydream. Not a standalone app.

Really dont see the point of always on for the s6, it uses battery and for the s7 which has a 3000mah battery the loss isnt too bad but for s6 which is 2550mah the loss in battery life vs one feature we dont really need, the loss in battery life isnt worth it

On S7 it's a 2-3% drop every hour for Always On Display.

Thats on s7 hardware which is different to the s6, AoD is optimised for s7 hardware, plus it needs to be implemented on kernel level aswell. And say 24 hours use, each of that hour clocks up 2% mininum, which works out to be a bit of a loss

You would think any developer would bring this app to the S6 family first then post it down the line. Oh well Always on Display in the app store is doing just fine for me at the moment and devs are working hard on that app so many thanks to them.

Glance Plus is a good choice. It uses very little battery

Not quite the same thing as 'Always On'

Yes, but I think it is the best application for this type apps

Not really. The 'wave thing' is there by default on GS6. You can view time/date/notifications even without that app by waving your hand on the sensor. Lol. Why would anyone download this application then?
The 'Always On' feature, like the name suggests is literally a always on screen to view time/date/notifications with minimal battery consumption. Not waving hands or pressing some buttons to wake the screen.

I think you're wrong

Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and Interaction > Easy Screen Turn On
