You can use the same procedure to listen to the audios from the locally stored videos on your device and any other media player as well. Furthermore, it will also work on any video streaming website like YouTube. To wake up the screen, simply tap on the screen.

While the aforementioned app works great, it does require root access, which you might not have. Alternatively, you can useBlackr(free, with any in-app purchases), a simple app that allows you tosimulate a lock screen over your current screen. This acts as a secondary screen lock for your device and is, in fact, an overlay. Although it is convenient for non-root users, considering the fact that it adds an overlay on the screen, the battery usage is further increased. On the other hand, the Screen Backlight OFF, with the help of root access, aims to turn off the screen backlight itself, in turn, providing a great experience whilesaving some juice as well.
