uh, guess u didnt read thoroughly. as stated in op, changelog of 1.01.1.01 version shoulda fixed one x and gnex. and it does work perfect
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Ah sorry, i didnt update the OP. Seems like result is mixed so i dont list it as working. Try it out. Let me know.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Any chance you can send me your logs?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
The ideas that you mentioned is already implemented. However you are required to turn it on in the accesibility settings. Check the OP.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidebeatrice:
Edit...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidebeatrice:
I'm sorry but isn't working for me...:(

EDIT: its working!:D the problem I said not working before its the distance from phone. I have to stay away from phone. It will be better if this distance is reduced...

Thank you!:thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Don't worry the next version will have a better support on detection. I will probably upload it in 10 hours time. :) stay tune.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] leventccc:
Trying now will feedback soon :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
Going to test on my one x.

Here's hoping it won't impact battery life too much..

Looking forward to testing...

Cheers... :-)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
That was a quick one..

Not working on my one x, with arhd 6 and latest faux kernel.

Does not matter what distance, screen switches off at all distances whilst staring at it..

Shame, like the idea and will keep an "eye" :) on this thread.

Currently installed V1.0.1 and the screen stays on regardless of looking at it or not.

Tested before installing a screen should go off after 15 secs.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Uninstalled and re-installed.

Appears to be working great.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] boshot:
Working great so far..distance is a bit tricky sometimes, but thats OK. (HTC One X)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
One X and TP

I'm testing it on the One X. So far it seems to work, but I'll try it more. Also, it doesn't brake the Face Unlock function, while another app (ISeeYou) does.

At home I'll be able to test it on my Transformer Prime too!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
Ok...so I have been using it on HOX for a two days now,together with ISeeYou and I can say that this is definitely much better app(ISeeYou stopped working after 1.2 update this morning),it does not block camera app(ISeeYou does it from time to time),it is lighter on battery...I discovered that from time to time Light Bulb from notifications changes colour to blue,I have to switch screen Off and On again to get it yellow again,also distance from phone to face should be at least 30cm to work properly and good(but not sunny) light condition.I will keep playing with app,please keep up work in good direction(btw,all lights are green in app control,including debug).

Not working on S2

Everyone seems to be enjoying this but unfortunately not me.

Doesn't work on my S2 on Resurrection Remix, there is this yellow bulb turning to blue and then the screen will be off. Don't know what that means.

I downloaded the latest version of Smart Stay Beta
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Check the OP, there is a link to youtube telling you how the check if this app works but use the v.1.0.2 is a much more stable version.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Hello guys,

Thanks for the wait. I have uploaded the v.1.0.2. Here is the change logs and a little explanation.

Exception List - allows you to set on which app you don't want the Smart Stay to run. This helps when you have a cpu intensive app like movie or video.

Delayed off - It's when the app cannot detect you, it will delay the screen from turning off giving you chance to scan your face again. e.q. you were looking at the screen and at the same time drinking coffee while scanning occurs. at that time, probably the app will not recognize you since there is an object blocking the face. thus, it won't immediately turn off the screen but wait for another try provided you have given it enough time(like a click on screen, scroll etc)

Idle time - i am not sure how many of you know that this app is running on polling basis until idle time is introduced. Basically, instead of polling, it will detect the screen movement. e.q. click, scroll etc and reset the timer on polling.

e.q. let's say if you are playing games or using an app. Smart stay shouldn't run since you are using something. no point for it to detect your presence. This is by far the greatest feature this app have. Hope you guys make good use of this.

let put it in mathematical situation:

if your display time out is 15 sec:

in 2 minutes with polling: 8 camera scans happened

in 2 minutes with idle time: if you are constantly touching your screen. quess what, it's 0 camera call. that's how great this feature is?

Currently tested working good in ICS in most situation. anything below ics seems to have mixed result.

Low Light Support - This is a problem when we are in a dark room with little light. This will help but remember no matter how much it helps, if it's pitch dark, the camera won't be able to take a picture.

Notification - it helps to notify you of the status whether the app is running.

Start at boot - just an indicator whether you want to start this app at boot
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Now debug will save a photo. called photo2.jpg in SDCARD/

about the Screen time off, see delay off option. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crabitpig:
What you mean our one x is capable of blue notification light?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kamold:
Not working on my HTC OX international version.

Running 4.0.4 via Maximus ROM.

The app installs fine (v1.1) and with notifications on, the icon appears, however the screen still turns off after the defined screen lock time.

Update: installed 1.2 and still same behaviour.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
So, it works on the Transformer Prime also! But it's rather face recognition than eye tracking. And distance has a lot to do with recognition. Altogether works okay.

Although ISeeYou seem to have better recognition and angles.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Security555:
1.0.2 works much better then

1.0.1 especially in low light

GT-I9100, VK 4.8 XWLPD Deodex, Siyah 3.3.2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
err, which version did you try it ? v.1.0.2 has a better recognition. maybe you can try on it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Here is how you can test it.

1. define time out to 15 sec

2. turn the debug on, screen off and on to refresh changes.

3. wait till 18 / 19 sec

4. open up your explorer, navigate to sdcard check for a file called photo2.jpg.

5. if it exists that means the camera fired, you can check the photo if it shows up properly.

let me know. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ankit Tulsian:
Its working perfectly on root box rom.I will surely buy the paid version.We have almost every feature ported including the music player.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JoFury:
Works great in low light:good: But why is my camera app don't catch in the exception list? i9100 stock ROM XWLPG
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crescendo Xenomorph:
V1.0.2 - ROM Stock XWLPG - Siyah Kernel v3.3.2 default settings - international i9100.

So far is good. One minor inconvenience: I set the timeout for 15secs, then refresh screen (on/off). When I put my device in front of me, it works perfectly (this program is running perfectly in keeping the screen on).

Here's the problem for me or it should be this way idk: when I stay away from my SGS2, it stay on for about 20secs sometimes more (inconsistent screen off timer).

SmartStay setting: Delayed Off: off - Low Light: on - Notification: on.

Maybe a lil bit suggestion: when no user presence, turn off immediately or with delay about 5secs/user configurable.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kamold:
Followed the above and it did create the camera capture image.

Screen did not go to sleep.

However I left the phone on the desk facing up and it stayed awake with me nowhere near the phone....smartstay notification icon stays as an open eye.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] doongoo:
1.0.2 with the exception list solved my only problem during watching movies. Great work dev!

Tapatalktamtaramtamtaram
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
So, I made a better test run, with the debug settings you told someone else. The problem might be Prime's weird camera angles. If I hold it naturally (for me) it only shoots the top of my head, from let's say my nose.

But it works on both landscape and portrait. Even upside down landscape, what's more, it's better that way :-D (It's not stupid since with the Asus cover you use the Prime that way many times!)

So that's it. The test was made on an unrooted stock rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] leongwenjun:
working nice on paranoid rom 1.4 , only issue is too slow to respond to close screen, thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
If it is in exception list, it means when you open camera, the app wont run so that it wont interfere with what you do on the app. Requirements. E.q while watching movie. Also remember to off and on screen to refresh changes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Default scan is based on your display time out. The next update will utilized the time out much better. Stay tune. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Storbank78:
Hey

So I tried out this Beta app. And I think it's great, it works really well on my HOX. The settings menu is easy to use and it looks really great. No doubt it's an app I'll bye...

Thumbs up...

Hi,

Downloaded and installed in HTC sensation (ICS stock rom 3.32.707.10, unroot)

Result:

running well for timing.

great job.:good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rumirand:
1.0.2 is rock solid update. This app is getting better and better.

I've a question: I'm using tasker to change the screen timeout when opening certain applications. This build, detect these changes on the fly?

Ex: my default timeout is 15 seconds. When using browser, it's 30 seconds. If the app thinks my timeout is 15 sec when I'm browsing, then it would use the camera two times instead once. It's not big deal, but I just want to know.

Seems to be working on my HTC one X. Will do more tests... Not sure how much impact this one has on the battery though
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] exynoss:
I installed it in gs2. Now how to know its work or not.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vhick:
Installing the new version in my Galaxy W and I can say that I improve a lot.

One more thing that I notice in Exception list that only user apps is visible. How can I exclude my stock camera app?

Thank you for the update...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Actually the chances of problem with the stock app is low. you don't really need to put that on exception but let me evaluate this.

on a side note, putting system apps will means a lot more apps showing which some even not properly named. My quess is it will create confusion. Correct me if i am wrong. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
For SGS 3, Smart Stay app is built in into system you will need some of the functions to bake in into rom to make it works. This won't come from me but improvement can be made on my app which i will try to since it is my goal in the first place to provide an app that is fully functional though i can quarantee only on working devices.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
This will be improved. Just had a chance to play with SGS 3 and noticed the flow it works. quess i am going to bake that in into this app. hopefully it will improve this app even better. Stay tune for next update.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
If screen shuts off, i quess the app works fine but you will have to know how to know that it works. try this link:

Works great for keeping the screen turned on, on the HTC EVO lte doesn't work sideways which is ok tho. Also doesn't seem to always turn off screen when I'm away

Edit I had the time out mode on and it wouldn't turn screen off taking that setting off screen turns off.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rocklee99:
nice to see it works on evo, shame it doesnt work sideways...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vhick:
Yup. you have a point. But some apps have can detect apps only in app drawer like in Tasker.

on the side note. I test the stock camera and it work well when I use it.

Just to be curious, I enable all the option to test all new functions of the update, the result is it didn't turn off the screen even if I'm away to my phone. I disable one by one and I found out that the "Low Light Support" function is the cause of the problem.

Thank you elnoxvie for immediate response and support :)

It's to keep the screen on if it is sensing you in front of it.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HebeGuess:
Version 1.02 on One X; Sotck ROM;

Not working on my phone..

The notification icon show me either static eye or blink on each time the screen turn on.

The debug notification should stay put once initiated, not to reset itself every time. This was leading little annoyed feeling on me which i will kept that icon to guide me on app status.

P.S.: prefer an optional white icon for better suite on HTC themes, may be alpha too.

Swyped from my ics s2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
So, after testing it on both my Prime and One X my finding is that a lot depends on the camera placing and setup. For example my One X is zooming too much, so I need to keep the phone far away from my head, which is a bit unnatural. On the Prime when the tablet is on my lap, the cam doesn't see me properly. This is not the fault of the app itself, but maybe HW manufacturers didn't make the gadgets for usage like this. Therefore the SG3 could have a lead in this, and these apps on other phones might not work perfectly.

(I'm saying this after using the debug option and checking the taken photos.)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JoFury:
Still don't work on i9100g:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Fall Guy:
Working fine on mine (9100 CM9) however it does seem to tax the battery quite a bit. About the same drain over 15 hours that I normally get in 24.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tylerdurden83:
That seems extreme...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Hi guys i have updated the app to version v1.0.3

V1.0.3: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?64vr472qu1phuzq

* Improve detection (using s3 flows)

* Remove Delay-Off

* Debug mode will save pictures in SmartStay folder(Only those failed) under sdcard(Please dont turn them on unless necessary)

Remember to off and on the screen after every changes.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
if you rotate it will work but since the camera is in odd position, it might be too closed to get a good look on you. try to on the debug and check in SDCARD\SMARTSTAY folder to see if the distance is enough if you are using v.1.0.3
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Now it should work as intended. Check out v1.0.3. Side ways should work but our camera doesn't have enough angle to capture perfectly therefore it requires a distance from the phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Low light support shouldn't be the issue, delay off should be. I have removed it in v.1.0.3. This version has double check capability which should work pretty well on circumstances whereby you were sneezing suddenly and camera can't get a picture of you closely and give it a second chance to check again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Install the v.1.0.3. Delay off was the issue but the latest has removed this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
This will happen but the chances is low since the app only take a fraction of time to do what it's supposed to do.

For you my friend, Just restart the camera app and it will work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I do agree with this part. S3 Camera is far superior than any of our phones now. Zero shutter lag, faster preview, clearer image even when the phone is shaking.

The capability of the camera does affects the app and imagine if the camera support wide angle capture, I quess this app won't have any issues even if you see it from any angles but too bad, we only have what we have but we can only make it better by using what we have.

anyway, try out v.1.0.3. This will provide a better detection quality by doing double check. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Did the app work as intended putting aside the notification?

try out v.1.0.3. let me know :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 'cooleagle':
Hi elnoxvie,

I am happy to report that this app(v 1.02) does work on Galaxy R i9103 (Tegra 2, 1GB Ram) using stock Indian GB ROM 2.3.5 & I have noticed the following:

- The app does not detect the whether the eyes are closed or not rather it works on face detection.

- It's also working in medium light conditions but using it in low light conditions is a hit or miss.

- I can't add the system stock camera app to the exception list as it isn't listed. But using a front Cam with this app is a hit or miss as most of the times I was able to start the front Cam using the stock app but sometimes I got a message 'Camera failed'

- It uses a lot of battery to function.

- The annoying camera sounds got me a lot of stares when using the handset in public places so you should try to mute it, there are many camera apps in the market which mute all camera sounds so it shouldn't be impossible for you buddy.

^ This thing doesn't work as I am on GB with a soon to release ICS for my device I'll test and report, though it would be better if you could get it to work on all handsets on GB as well.

Thanks for the opportunity to test it, I'll request other Galaxy R users to test & report here. I hope you'll take a note of my observations & try to incorporate the changes in your app if possible. :)

Cheers ! :)

Edit: Just noticed that you have uploaded 1.0.3, will test & report.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:

Trying out 1.0.3 now so I will have to write full report later. For now I can just say that something went horribly wrong with scrolling, it's soo chopy when compared to previous version. Also question about exception list, does app automatically disabled it self during apps like YouTube and video?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Eric1985:
Pretty cool app. I dont think its working right on mine "Evo LTE". Isnt it the same concept as screebl? With screebl as long as your phone is tilted at a angle it will never shut off
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HebeGuess:
Tried v.1.0.3, the app was unable to detect my eyes. However, I was able to observe the flow on 1.0.3. Each times the app going on detection, notification icon will update to new result. The re-place of icon causing a tempoprary swapping(flick) among icons on left notifications.

My use cases: idle time feature enable; notification on/off; with/without my spectacles.

I also double check distances using camera app and placed at best reading distances.
