+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug 1108271 +++

Bug 1108271 will keep focusing on a formal, long-term solution for system app.
Let's use this bug to provide a quick solution to not block emulator-kk tests.

Quote of bug 1108271 comment 13
"You can do something like this, pass a SCREEN_TIMEOUT=0 from BoardConfig.mk:

https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/device-rpi/blob/ab404c/BoardConfig.mk#L54

If DEVICE_DEBUG=1 (I don't know where is it being set), the timeout will be changed to 300 sec

https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/05f8670/Makefile#L125
"

I was able to get this working by putting SCREEN_TIMEOUT=0 into my .userconfig. I haven't yet been able to make this work from makefiles. Using the BoardConfig.mk as shown in the example didn't work.
