There is a new "settings" binary in Android 4.2 You can also use it without su, then your app needs the permission required to change this setting declared in your app's manifest (which would be WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS for flight mode in 4.2 - which is only granted to apps installed on system partition). Activate su settings put global airplane_mode_on 1 am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true Deactivate su settings put global airplane_mode_on 0 am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state false For other android versions and other settings (flight mode can be activated without root before 4.2) you can use sql injects in settings.db su sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db insert into global values(null, 'airplane_mode_on', 1); Replace "global" with "system" or "secure" and 'airplane_mode_on' with the key of your desired table entry. For some settings you need to send certain broadcasts afterwards, see example above for flight mode. To explore your settings.db run this in a terminal app: su sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db .tables select * from global select * from secure select * from system share|improve this answer

KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE); KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE); lock.disableKeyguard(); in androidmanifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD"/> share|improve this answer edited Dec 7 '11 at 18:51 PravinDodia 436413 answered May 23 '11 at 10:19 Mitul Nakum 2,31721225

3   perfect. Thank you very much –  Weldeborn Jul 6 '11 at 6:38 2   The class KeyguardLock has been deprecated. Setting the window flags as shown by @hsgubert below seems the current way to turn off the key guard/lock screen. –  pstoppani Feb 1 at 0:48
