Unlock iPad by touching the screen

[scifan57]

Is it to going to cause any harm to the iPad if I keep doing this all the day and charge it once it is required?

No, you'll just get reduced battery life. Normally, the iPad while asleep can last for days on a single charge. Your standby time will be measured in hours, instead.

Edit: I was wrong, using the screendimmer tweak will suit your purposes, without draining the battery.

Using the "ScreenDimmer" tweak on a jailbroken device is an ideal solution to the OP's request. It does NOT excessively drain the battery. The screen can be configured to be fully off until such time as you touch the screen to wake it up. I use my iPad1 in a Moleskine case with this configuration exclusively, and have done for a couple of years now.

Aha! Thanks for the reminder, f4780y! I'd forgotten about ScreenDimmer.

So, I take back my words above as there IS a tweak for that.

My excuse is that there are so MANY!
