Description
Screen on toggler is basically a replacement tool for the default search button on your android phone when you long press it. It allows you to quickly toggle your screen's timeout from always ON to your screen timeout's setting and vice versa.
Once installed, press and hold the search button on your android phone and a dialog will appear. Then select screen on toggler to toggle between always ON and your original screen timeout setting. You may also set it as the default action when you long press your search button, but it is recommended NOT to set as the default action, so that you may use it in conjunction with other search button replacement tools such as Wifi Toggler (also by me). You may clear the default setting for Screen On Toggler by going to the Manage Applications area, select screen on toggler and scroll down and click on the "Clear Defaults" button. This should restore the selection dialog when you long press the search button.
To restore the timeout setting to your original setting, you may either touch on the screen on toggler icon on your android's notification bar OR you can long press your search button and select the screen on toggler again, to toggle it. It's that simple.
Thanks to all who have given their feedback and bug reports so far, I hope the latest release (v1.43) would have fixed all the issues that you guys out there are facing. If you still encounter issues, do let me know and I'll try my best to solve it ASAP. Cheers.

Recent changes: - Fixed bug with Screen Timeout not working on Jelly Bean. Timeout is now set to 24 hours screen timeout instead of -1 which caused Jelly Bean to treat as almost instant timeout.

My converted nook would not let me set timeout and this app saved me a lot of annoyance. It works just as I needed and is simple to use. Thanks for the help
★★★★★
Simple and great. This app is just what I needed for my Nexus 7. I use it a lot for recipes and my hands are wet or covered in food so I can't keep tapping the screen. This simple screen on toggle is priceless. No bells and whistles, just does what it says. I love it.
★★★★★
Does what it says Awesome if you need to keep your screen on to use something like a RTA!
★★☆☆☆
Great but... Almost had to reset to factory thanks to a bug in this setting timeout to -1 - instant. Luckily I had an nfc tag that reset screen timeout to a normal value. Not sure how else I could have remedied, as uninstall via play store website didn't reset the timeout. Rendered my phone useless for a day.
★★☆☆☆
Although the settings look great and easy, no matter what thing I try, this keeps setting my screen timeout both to ON and to 30 Seconds, which is the factory default for this LG G4 Android phone! It completely FAILS!
