If you are rooted and have KI4 , KI8 , or KJ3 firmware, you can use KJay Deluxe Settings v13.1 app to customise quick settings panel and add "screen on" toggle. The"screen on" can be set up to 3.5 hrs.

you can create a dedicated and customized button/widget for "screen always on" (among many other things) with the app "widgetsoid",put it on your homescreen and toggle it whenever you need it.
its free on the market and doesnt require root.

Go to app "Status Bar Options" and customise settings panel. Check the box for Screen On. Then option Set Screen On Toggle ....xx mins
Now pull your status bar down to reveal your horizontal buttons at top of screen. If you have to many buttons, just swype finger from right to left to show hidden buttons of the screen.
If you want to change order of buttons, or add / remove , use settings above to uncheck all, then check again in the order you wish them to appear left to right.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention to also check setting for "temp screen timeout".

in my staus bar options i have no customize settings or "screen on",is there a paid version where you have more settings??
Boot into CWM recovery and format cache, advanced and clear dalvik cache. Reboot and try again.
You are using KJ3, KI4 or KI8 ? Custom de-odex ROM ?
Edit: If you have any further troubles, maybe ask in KJay's thread.

I don't think he knows how to do that, because the menus "disappeared"
To the original poster - please try to touch and hold the screen on the left or right edge and a blue 'thumb menu' should pop up. From there you can do the same you can from regular menu bar and IMO it's much more handy.
Thx for the help guys. I cleared all data and cache and have sorted it. I will try the long press tip as I liked the full screen but not the inability to use tabs and input addresses.
Really appreciate your advice.
Thx again.

I was on the phone and the phone crashed on me. This is probably due to the FireFly Live Wallpaper that I was using. Because this is the 2nd time. When the phone restart, it went into safe mode, and after restarting, 2 of my dock icons are gone. I can't reinstate it.
I believe some system files are corrupted.
Can someone help me? I don't want to wipe all data again.
Thanks

I have this issue too. Im running KI4 with cf-root. seems to happen every time i reboot. But i can add them back.
I froze my messaging app to install the ics one a little while ago, when I unfroze it it dissapeared from my dock bar. Any way I can get it back without flashing the Rom again?

Should be a setting in your personalize meun or lock screen settings menu to choose which app icons/short cuts appear on the lock screen. Also after you unfroze them did you reboot ??

Find "Messages" in all apps, long tap. Place into dock.
I use the Screen Off and Lock app to turn off the screen without fumbling for the power button. For some reason it doesn't work properly on the S3 - it turns off the screen briefly but then the screen turns itself back on.
Does anyone know of a homescreen widget or app which will turn off the S3 screen?
I also install it, on my device its set the screen off, then it came back for a second and then off.

Yes, that's exactly what it's doing on mine now.
Unfortunately, it will only work properly if the lock screen security > none
Tested with Swype, face and pin. Obviously the screen security prevents it from staying off.

That's exactly how my settings are - the screen still switches itself on again momentarily after tapping then Screen Off and Lock app. I've now tried a couple of the other free "screen off" apps and widgets and they do exactly the same thing, so maybe there's some sort of issue with an API in the S3?

In the menu I posted, select "none", then it will screen off properly. The app (and others) obviously have issue with TW lockscreen with any setting other than "none".

Why not? Read my previous posts.
With lock set to "none", the app works properly, with any type of lock, the screen will flicker from off to lockscreen on.
This proves the app is not totally compatible with SGS3 TW lockscreen.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
is there a regular option or a trick (no app) to adjust the time the S3 lockscreen keeps lit? i am on latest SGS3 stock rom 4.0.4 (no root) and the lockscreen shuts off after about 5 seconds - which is far too short for my liking.
thanks!
am i the only one having this issue? (sigh)
I think this is normal, why do you have to look your lockscreen more than 5 sec. Mine is like yours. Just pres home button after 4 sec and you will have 5 seconds more.

well, i know it's "normal" and no bug. but it annoys me and even more so that there's no option in this "super phone" that lets me adjust basic lock screen settings. i guess this is an oversight by the devs.
Try other lockscreen apps

I'm sure there is if you have a rooted device. This is just how android works, doesnt matter what company, what phone, what version of android. Been like this since the beginning.
