never mind, i fixed it myself. figured it had to have been a problem with the list of apps, so i installed an app from the App Store and an app from Cydia (that has an icon). no longer crashes when i try to access the “Excluded Apps” list.

I think a nice feature would be a time of day setting to set the screen brightness.

I have my phone sit in a dock facing me in my car. At night it’s far too bright (Apples auto-dim doesn’t do anything to help). I’d like to be able to set it so after 6:00pm it turns down the brightness, and then up again at 6:00am.

Anyone else have this problem?

I have the “disable” on for while it’s plugged it and it still dims. Used to work in the older version but the new one killed it.

love it!

however, lately i’ve been crashing whenever i try to access the “Excluded Apps” list. doesn’t crash in “Dim Apps with disbled idleTimer” though (yes, the typo exists in the app as well, fyi :P).

any ideas on what’s happening, and how to fix it?

Same here – the screen dims while charging regardless of that toggle being disabled (3GS, 3.1.2) Reinstalling the app doesn’t resolve the issue.

I installed this app yesterday and I love it, but my screen dim when I charce my phone (3G running OS 3.1.2). I have tried to disable and enable the feature, and Disabled and enabled ScreenDimmer.

I allso had the same problem as Navec245, but that was gone after i turned off and on the Turn off Backlight feature ;-)

Great update! I was thinking about requesting the feature to turn the backlight off after a certain time interval.

I just cannot get this to work. 3gs, 3.12. Have rebooted, reinstalled, turned off advanced preferences. I have pro switcher and lock calendar installed, could these be an issue? As it is, the screen is just nit dimming, and neither will the back light turn off.
