how to set screen timeout from adb shell command on GingerBread?

You could change it in the settings database using

Ex: to change it to one minute
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db "INSERT INTO system VALUES
(null,'screen_off_timeout','600000');"

or

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db "update system set value='600000' where
name='screen_off_timeout';"


But I find it kind of bad to be doing it this way (I can't think of
any particular reason, but it just seems hacky).

Since the settings provider exposes SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT , I would feel
much better using that.

To unlock screen you can use:
adb shell input keyevent 26
adb shell input keyevent 82

Lock screen:
adb shell input keyevent 6
