Thanks for reply guys. I will try each of the suggestion one by one. Here is the status till now.

I found "Quiver" image viewer. It does loop through, but it does n ot give control to how many seconds to show a picture. But I can live with that if there is no alternative.

It will be nice if app can show EXIF date stored in pic. But that is truly an advanced feature. I can live without that.
As mikemorrison suggested, I found slide duration in Edit-> Prferences. I did look at preferences before posting here, but some how I missed it.

Frank Banul, Thesandlord, I tried installing canola, but it keeps failing for me. I am not sure why. But for now Quiver seems to do what I wanted.

I made a crude stand for it. I will post pictures here soon. It is simple and easy.

Benson, I will looking forward for results of your experimentation of the clock.

My wifi is secured. When I tried installing OpenSSH, it keeps on saying that there is a conflict with "Dropbear" which is another SSH client.

Any general ideas are also welcome.

Thanks.
Quiver seems to be doing this. The screen does not dim or off when quiver slideshow in full screen mode is running.


I will keep you posted here, meanwhile keep ideas coming.
