He sounds like a shy little guy. Sometimes it can take a very long time to tame a hamster and varies but it seems like he's pretty accustomed to your hands so far. What you could try is turning out the lights, possibly have the door cracked so you can see into the room somewhat and just sit by the cage. I did this with my hamster and she would become more active. You can rub toilet paper or tissues on your hands/body to get your scent onto it and put it in his cage. You can talk to him and give him treats when you see him in the morning.
