Older version [APP] Button Backlight Disabler
Program with little support for me
When you open the program, the backlight turns off when the program is closed, then turn on.
There are two widgets 2x1 and 1x1

Works nice, but the app needs to autohide after it has turned off the backlight.
You can use Llama to trigger the app to run automatically when you power up your screen, but you have to close the app manually. If the app would close itself, then we would have automatic light off.
Oh, the peace for my eyes!...
One more little tweak Alexsandr, please.

What is it Llama?

Done.
Llama is an app like Tasker, but free. It will change profiles and execute events based on triggers, from screen-on, which I am using here, to wifi names and cell tower names.
It is available in the Market. It has been seeing consistent development and addition of features.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=search_result
I have an event set up with Screen-on trigger that runs Backlight disabler. It is nice, that it runs in the background, so by the time I've swiped the lock screen, BacklightDisabler is up and has turned off my lights.
I've just done the update and doing a reboot, to make sure the BD is running, and not the old one.
Backlight Disabler hides nicely now *if you tap the icon*. What I want is to have the app run, turn off the backlight and then hide. No tapping. I don't even need to see an App on the screen (it doesn't need an interface). You might have to split the on/off actions into two apps, but considering that the OS turns the lights on every chance it gets, all I ever will want to do is turn the lights off.
If I want the lights back on, all I have to do is turn the screen off/on and they're back.
The latest icon could hardly be seen with my sea wallpaper.

So i could not find an app that would do exactly what this one does...
Turn on the flashlight LED immediately upon execution of the app... Instead, every app on the market has the user open it up, then press a button to toggle the flashlight.
My app will IMMEDIATELY turn on your flash light LED then shut off the screen.
Its main purpose is to have as a lockscreen shortcut.
Install instructions:
1. Download APK
2. Place apk onto your SD card
3. Using ANY file explorer app
4. Locate downloaded apk and tap on it to initialize the install process.
5. Install and run the app once to set it up.
Permissions:
Hardware Controls [Allow app to access camera LED]
Also need to enable device administrator to allow device lock
Dont forget to hit thanks it really makes me feel good about myself knowing people are benefiting from this other than myself
Check my Signature for other work/projects by me
THANKS XDA FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH A GREAT WEBSITE AND RESOURCE!!
UPDATE 12/10/12 10:36 EST
-Fixed force close issue due to me being retarded....
I've searched a lot for an app like this, the past days and I've also developed one myself, which just today I've managed to finish it(have some problems though).
I will try your app, maybe is better than mine(I'm new in programming).
EDIT:
Just tried, flashlight turns itself off about 10-20 seconds after screen is off(sometimes less), at least on my device.
I'd have this problem with my app too. Do you run it as service?
This is a very useful app my friend. It's so annoying on aosp rom's hitting the power button, pulling down the notification bar, engaging the torch, and cycling all over again. This saves steps and works quite well so far.
I'll report back as I use it more over the next few days.
Using it on a sgs3 running Eclipse rom.
Just so you people know, theres actually a widget you can place on your homescreen, just long press on the screen, go to widgets...then look for Assistive Light....put in on one of your homescreens...press it, walla...LED light on back of phone lights up!!! No need to download any apk.

That's not what this is for. This is instant lockscreen on/off. This is a smart app. Obviously there are home screen options other than this.....

If your phone always unlocked in your pocket, Pocket Screen Lock - this is what you need.
The application will automatically block all unwanted taps of the screen. Enjoy using.
The program is easy to use and intuitive, and for any user.
Simply select where you want to block your phone and activate services.
We recommend to disable the program for the night, as it can reduce the charge of your battery.
In the future, the program will be several additional features such as support for additional sensors and sleep mode.
I am developer, so I will be glad for the help with updates and correction of translation.
For video demonstration of work or a more complete description is also a huge + in karma)

Pocket Lock Pro Thank you
I haven't used your app long & it has worked great so far. Is there a way to configure the app so it only works once it's off my home wi-fi system & I'm down the road using the 4G network? I know I can turn it off & on, at my age I tend to forget the small things.
I have developed this app a while ago when I was owning a Nexus device. I find it even more useful on my Note3 since having small hands its not comfortable to get to the Power button to put the phone to sleep. You may find it useless but at least it saves the Power button or helps when using a case.
HERE IS HOW TO USE IT
1. When the app is installed, for the first time the Settings screen will be shown. Simply press the Enable Admin Permission button and then drag the Stand by Icon from App's drawer where you want to have it. Each time you press the icon, the phone will go to standby.
2. If you want to use the Sleep Mode, go to Settings and press on the Zzzzz mode button. You can select which options to be disabled (Sound to Silent, Data Off, Wifi Off), on which interval of hours and how long the options will be displayed. If you check any of the options, next time you press the Standby icon, for a short period of time you will see 2 icons:
- the Sleep icon (with the moon) on it, if you press it, it will disable the options you have selected
- the Wake icon (with the sun) on it, if you press it, it will enable the options you have selected.
The icons are only displayed for the amount of time set by you. If you don't press any of them, the phone will go to standby as normal.

Sound useful, I'm gonna give it a try.
Thank you
Seems very usefull! There is no Bluetooth toggle is there? Cause I want to disable my gear when I am sleeping.. I do this by turning off bluetooth, and in the morning I turn it on again.. Any way you could add that?
Thank you guys for your words.
@Armazia: very good suggestion!. I have uploaded version 2.3 on Google Play which has Bluetooth toggle support So you can now easily switch Bluetooth off in the evening and back on in the morning. It should be available in a few hours.
Very nice
Thanks, new version 2.3 is live on Google Play.

Superb! Thanks for listening. I am definitely going to use this app!
You're welcome. I have been using it on all my devices without any problems.
I use double tap to wake almost exclusively to turn my screen on, but I find some of the other HTC motion gestures annoying or problematic. For example, I have pulled my phone out of my pocket, while accidentally holding a volume button, and the camera app opened. This is generally an annoyance, but I have had this occur in a dark room followed by blinding everyone near me with the flash. I'm using ViperOneM8 at the moment, but didn't see an option to selectively enable these gesture controls.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I want to disable to landscape+volume to turn on camera, but I want to keep double tap to wake. I don't see any option to do that.

Completely agree with you; I find myself triggering voice calls more frequently than I'd like. Unfortunately, the current ROM only permits "all" or none with the motion gestures (hopefully they'll fix that if enough folks complain).

I believe that option is in the camera app settings.

That setting only affects the volume button function while the screen is already on.
It is a all or none approach as a previous poster stated as far as I can tell. Can wait until the devs figure out how to mod that.
Do any of the keep screen on apps work with Android 10? Even Developer Settings keep screen on while charging doesn't prevent screen dimming while charging. Screen stays on but can't see it in daylight.
I don't care about burn in so no warnings needed. I do really want a keep screen app that works and doesn't bombard me with ads. I don't mind paying for app if it works with Android 10.
Thanks so much.

Just a tiny workaround if it helps you until better solution appears:
For some reason, screen always on is working with Google maps
So I just run the navigation using the small popup window over the app I want to display and the screen newer goes dim...
This helps me to display playlist for 30 minutes when performing on guitar:

Yes that is what I am using now. That is why I said I am all set.
KinScreen works well. It allows selecting the apps that keep the screen on when the app is open (displayed). If the app is minimized the screen goes off. It has a manual mode that keeps the screen on indefinitely. Configuration: Samsung Galaxy S9+, T-Mobile, Android 10.
