Hi, The settings app updates the settings database with the timeout value selected by the user. See: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html#SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT
This value is read by PowerManagerService.java http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/PowerManagerService.java It looks like it uses a state machine to transition between bright<- >dim<->off states. See setTimeoutLocked() and the Runnable that calls it , and setScreenOffTimeoutsLocked() for the poke handling that happens when you press a key to keep the screen on for some additional time. To get a better idea of the flow, it might be useful to enable the prints under mSpew. You can check the value of the class variables easily.
