Another design that isn't particularly useful~

Make a case for the Xiaomi Note 3, insert the phone, and it becomes a desktop clock. The model is divided into two parts: one for the phone and the other a stand with a built-in pen holder. Just install the phone onto the stand.

After placement

If it feels unstable, apply some super glue, but I was too lazy to do it~

There's a groove behind the pen holder where you can tuck in the charging cable. It's not particularly useful, but it feels quite satisfying to snap it in~

 

Software Installation

For software on the phone, just download "Minimal Clock" from Coolapk.

 

If you think continuous charging isn't ideal, you can install AccA. This software can limit your maximum charging level, but it requires root access (since it's an old phone, everyone should have rooted it by now... right?).

That's about it. If you feel your phone isn't busy enough running a clock display, and you want to push it further, then install Linux Deploy and use this phone as a Linux server too~
