Screen Standby ♯ Root

Is there a way to change the icons for both screen on and off shortcuts? Every application I try to use won't allow it. This is the only app where I am unable to make a custom icon.

the power click on then off to turn on the screen on works. Screen totally black touch screen still works wish it had loud sound or clap detection to turn off or dim screen though

I'm trying to assign screen off shortcut to GravityBox's App Launcher, got a toast message saying "Shortcut creation cancelled by target app" and found the shortcut being created on my homescreen - Why does this app have to be so special?! I've never experienced something alike before, please just use the common method to create shortcut.

It seems to work fine the first time I connect to HDMI, but when I unplug it, it doesn't want to release the connection or something because the screen stays off and I can't get it to turn on. The setting screen is also more complicated than it should be and the settings aren't explained well enough. When it's more user friendly and doesn't have issues disconnecting from HDMI, I will rate it 5 stars.

Insanely buggy on my rooted galaxy s4. Is it tested for the s4? It turns screen off and I can get it to recognize me clicking menu and back button and sometimes my on screen clicks but the screen never turns back on again. Very frustrating, will see if I can figure it out eventually. Never give up.

Had the same issue as another reviewer - something causes the phone to become unusably laggy after the screen goes off - only a reboot fixes it. Loved this app on my galaxy nexus, can't use it on my at&t gs4

Definitely it could help the tablet reduces the battery usage and heat issue but the tablet screen turns on automatically after a few minutes (random minutes). I checked the setting no useful related section found. Please fix this bug and I will revise it with 5 star ;)

App works initially, but screen will not turn back on when using it for the second time in a matter of minutes. Forces battery pull to reboot phone. Great concept, usually works well, but I would use an alternative if there was one.

Once I enable it my screen turns off and my external device displays my phone fine except when if I disable it my phone's screen doesn't turn back on. It's sick until I force reboot. Please fix (LG G4)

... The only problem that I have when using this app is, the screen turns black when in use as is supposed to, but never seems to turn the screen back on again after use. I have to hard reset my phone for it to go back to normal (Xperia z1). Please, please, please fix this issue! Other then that, it's a great app that saves battery when using MHL. Keep at it!

Giving 3 stars because it seems like the devs care about it. However phone crashes and reboots every time I turn screen off. I tried disable hw overlay as well and no dice. Possible conflict with hyperdrive ROM? I'm on vzw gs4 with hyperdrive ROM

This app worked amazingly. My Rezound was displaying on my Pioneer car stereo and my TV with no issues. Once I purchased the galaxy s4 with Android 4.3 it stopped working. Upon checking the developers forum, this person has abandoned all development and made the code open source... so it would just be luck if someone completes this for your device. If it is not working, avoid it now... it is essentially dead

Samsung Note 4 5.0.1 / App concept is good, when I connect MHL cable app works as expected, but at HDMI disconnection screen doesn't turn-on, I may to reboot my phone to continue working. I've tested other settings but app continues failing. Also phone becomes hot after a while. Please fix that annoying error.

After granting SU permission that app does nothing. Literally. It just sits there with the message about SU & Busybox. The yes box that I clicked to continue is highlighted from when I selected it but that's it. No more CPU loads or anything. WTFudge?

After turning off and on screen for less than 3 times, my Xperia sp become extremely laggy till the point it is unusable..and that's without mhl connected yet.. Was just testing out the app..

Tried multiple Roms but all have seen the same issue. This utility does cut the screen off but battery consumption actually goes up. Data connection issues and system stalls while app is active also.

When active, apps freeze. For example, Play Store does not load anything, and icons become unresponsive. Turning this app off immediately restores sanity. Btw, I am on Xperia Z Ultra. Maybe this model is not supported?

I was using this with YouTube and Ingress. The first minute goes well, but then my phone reboots. This was on an rooted Nexus 4 running vanilla Android. I could not get it to function as expected and have given up. The issue seems to be fairly common from my searches.

Hi, great app but screen wont auto turn off when using bbc iplayer. It works fine in phone use but not when playing tv show in iplayer. When i turn off manually it comes bavk on as soonas i hit play on iplayer. Any ideas?

Does not work on my z3 compact rooted. When i check for root and busybox it freezes and i have to kill it. If i jump over, i can set it to screen off but i can't ever turn ot on without a reset. Running now android 6 with root. After installing this app, the illum won't go off. Ever. Even when loching from power button.

It's unfortunate that the developer has abandoned the app, but luckily it still works for me and is so feature-rich that it doesn't need an update yet.

Absolutely a must if you use your android device with your TV over HDMI. The screen staying on really annoyed me. Very neat and very easy to set up with the wizard and all Thanks a ton man!

Disaapoint that it doesn't work for my note 8. It dims the screen and tv output at the same time. I t have used the non root method. My device is rooted. Can anyone confirm its not working on galaxy note 8?

Screen goes off but it won't turn back on. Sometimes it will flicker on then back off, taking it battery only way to turn screen back on

This app is outstanding! It does exactly everything I need when I got my MHL adapter for my Note 2. My only complaint is when I run a movie with the Crunchyroll app, the screen comes back on, until I exit that video. Can I get some feedback on that?

Edit: totally awesome, and thank you dev for replying so fast! Prev:I hook up my tab to my lcd tv because i like to watch a lot of movies, its a good idea to have the screen go dark to prevent overheating and save battery power.

Update - It would appear that there is no longer any support for the app. Website non existent and no email response. Shame. Great app. Just what I was looking for to save battery power when using my golf GPS app. Keeps the app active while shutting screen down. A simple screentouch brings it back on again

Works fine sometimes. But usually crashes and restarts my Nexus 4 unexpectedly. I have SPMC, Screen Standby and BusyBox installed. During setup of Screen Standby, I would tap the Check Root and Busy Box button and it would always crash. So I would skip that step and it looks fine. But when I try to wake up the phone manually or by disconnecting the HDMI, it would restart by itself. Sometimes, it will not restart but the touchscreen doesn't work. Had to use mouse. My phone works fine whenever I UNinstall Screen Standby.

Works for what I need it to. Turns off screen when I plug in my HDMI cable and turns it back on upon removing it. Now the settings to signal the screen to turn on with sensors are wacky on my tablet. I had the issue of screen not staying off very long while not even coming near the tablet. Unticking all those options that are on by default handily did the trick for me. Hope that helps others.

Samsung Note 4 5.0.1 / App concept is good, when I connect MHL cable app works as expected, but at HDMI disconnection screen doesn't turn-on, I may to reboot my phone to continue working.

Edit: disabling dark frame under blank screen methods resolved crash. Incorrect info under this option it does effect nexus devices badly. Wanted to use this with kodi and nexus 4 with slim port adapter but crashes with HDMI detection enabled and with detection disabled I get farther but screen comes back on after awhile. So ya useless.

I am using this on my Samsung Note 2 LTE (GT-N7105) on custom ROM (TW based, called DN4 version 2.2). The screen off can only dim the screen when overlay is not disabled. Sometimes disabling overlay would cause screen off like touchpad mode but screen goes blank on both screen (show touch works, but nothing else shoes up). Will try other setting combination and update comment later.

Root methods made my phone reboot even if rooted, but the simpler "Brightness 0" works pefectly. A solid 4 stars.

i dont think it works for a s4, even if it did there are so many setting options. it is a really confusing app to use. i simply want my phone screen to turn off and keep the video going on my tv.

Turns my screen off just fine. It's getting it to turn back on and stay on more than a second that was an issue. Superuser now grants specifically root user permission and gives no notifications. Default permissions granting root access apparently weren't enough.

Does not work at all on HTC one m8. Gets stuck with black screen, with no other option but to do a hard boot (power button and volume up button). May change rating if the dev gets their act together.

I tried many settings trying to get this to work on my Note 3 and ran into two major issues. The app reset my device several times when trying to use the 'two-touch'. The other couple of times I couldn't get my device to unlock. When I turned the display on it would show the lock screen for a second, but wouldn't let me unlock it. Then it immediately showed the notification bar but wouldn't let me do anything. Just a really buggy app overall and I tried many different settings to get it to work but it kept crashing.... Too bad because I can't seem to find another like it. I'll just have to keep my brightness set at zero until this app gets a major overhaul or I find another solution.

Galaxy S4 I545 Reboots everytime I try to turn screen off. Tried this version as well as beta. Also I545 model of S4 is not a option to choose during setup. Tried many different menu options but nothing works. I click turn off and phone reboots everytime. Any ideas?

Fresh install, force closes as soon as launched.
