Camera: Recording video with screen turned off?

[djhoomi]

Hello,

Is it possible to run the camera in the background and record video and turn off the screen while the video is recording?
Or does somebody know an application which can do it?

Thanks :)

The problem is that when you press the power button it suspends device and doesn't just turn off the screen. There are utilities that can just turn off the screen (which also "locks" the device). I use WKtasks function>Backlight off from ok-button long press and AEBPlus actions screen to do that

Thanks for the tip. I've tried these 2 applications, but they both don't turn off the display when recording. I have also tried to use CoolCamera, but it does'nt work.

I would love to know a solution for this also i use the Qik app and would love if it would run with the screen toggled off or even better in the background.
