I had this problem even before I ever had phone alarm installed (AKU2.2, 3.3 or 3.5). I have done 2 things with Neo's backlight fix that "fixes" this 100%.

I believe the backlight fix was already uploaded, but my attached zip includes the shortcuts you may need.

1. unzip attachment
2. copy the "neo_backlight_fix.exe" program in the following directory (create BackLight directory if needed:
\Program Files\BackLight\
3. copy whatever timeout link you want your backlight set to the following directory:
\Windows\StartUp
The extension of the .lnk files are the number of seconds it will set the backlight for. So if you want 5 minute timeout copy the "backlight_fix_300.lnk" to the startup directory.

This will solve the backlight being reset to 10 seconds when you reboot or device.

I have had instances where it would revert the timeout to 10 seconds every time it was brought out of standby mode (i.e. press the power button), but haven't seen it in AKU 3.x though. So a quick patch was to create a link in SPB PocketPlus (could also use DevState, O2, or iLauncher) on the today screen directly to one of the backlight .lnk files. If it was reset to 10 seconds I just tapped the link on my today screen and all was good.
