About
Turn off the screen backlight without switching off the screen! Perfect for listening to music videos. Most video players stop playback when the screen is turned off. This app switches only the screen backlight off but not the complete screen. Save battery and enjoy playback without the backlight staying on! To turn the backlight on again, simply touch the display. Important: This app requires root. Use at your own risk. If you don't know what "root" is, then don't install this app. It won't work without root!

Comments on Screen Backlight OFF (root) for Android
★★★★★
Very useful app especially for afk game moments!
★★★★★
Love this app.. Now I could listen to the music in Youtube videos with display turned off.. Works like a charm in Android 5.1..
★★★★★
Works great! Really awesome if you could add a deactivation timer, so the screen can turn on and be used as silent timer. thanks! Update: Love the new timed features! 5 stars :)
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work Nexus 5 on lollipop. All it does is put up the overlay and block all touch input until I deactivate it. Other users seemed to have positive experiences with this app, so it may be a relatively be bug. Refunding for now until it's fixed maybe.
