Is there a way to tell the system not to lock the device and keep the backlight on until the app is closed?

You could programmatically change the setting and then switch it back to the user setting when exiting the app, would be one way.

I think just doing:

Bangle.setLCDPower(1);
Bangle.setLocked(0);
Bangle.setLCDTimeout(0);

Will do it. As long as you don't 'fast load' then reloading a new app will automatically re-apply the old settings
