There would be a notification that shows that the app is started and running, i don't know if its really running or not.

You should add that as an option
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vhick:
Great improvement since the first version (Galaxy W in stock ROM rooted).

My feedback in new version:

1. Thank you for adding system application to exception list as I always have a problem using my stock camera app.

2. The detection quality is improved. I experience the eye was closed but it automatically open when my screen started to dim. My screen goes back to normal. Great!

Notes:

1. Shutter off - When I enable this feature, I notice that the phone automatically toggle on/off in to silent mode. If you don't want annoying shutter sound, find how to disable it here in xda.

2. Low Light Support - I have a problem using this since the first implementation of this feature. My screen is always on when this feature is enable.

Thank :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Yes, you can set the interval. It's actually based on your display time out.

so let's say you want it to do scan every 8 sec or so. Just set it to 15 sec display time out (the app do double check meaning at TIME_OUT/2 interval it will do a first check and at TIME_OUT it will do another check) but remember to on the idle time setting. It works great when couple with the idle time. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kipliq:
I'll test, would I need to be rooted for this to work?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PhatUgly:
I have tested your app (latest version 1.0.3a) on two devices:

Galaxy Nexus GSM running AOKP Build 38:

Doesn't work, eye closes after 10 seconds and shuts of the screen after standard delay.

ASUS Transformer tf101 running a stock based custom rom (not AOSP based) called Android Revolution HD 3.4.0 with the Harmony Beta-X kernel:

Seems to work part-time. Sometimes the eye closes but then opens back up after a minute or so. The screen also sometimes shuts off on me. It is not reliable yet.

I have a few questions about how it is supposed to react in order to make proper reports:

- should it wake up the device once it is already asleep and i lift it up to my face?

- what is the polling frequency? Is it normal for the eye to close, supposedly until the next poll, or is this a sign that I am "out of sight" for the app?

I have the At&t I777 Stock ICS that was just releases.

I installed your latest version, it works but it keeps turning my slient/mute mode on and off. Keeps switching every second.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Kaworu33:
Hello,

I have an issue yesterday, but I cannot made it happens again.

I was "looking" at the phone in order to play podcast (with doggcatcher open) and I decide to turn off smart stay. Volume stay at 0 (even if I try to push volume up) and I had to reboot.

I've updated to latests version, if it happens again (maybe it's not application related of conflict with some other apps), I'll send you logs if you need it.

I'm on Moto Atrix 2.3.6.

Thanks for this very useful application !! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pulsewave:
I can confirm Version 1.0.3a working with an HTC Amaze 4g for T-Mobile with stock debloated ICS, but with some caveats:

1)Idle Time Feature must be on for it to function

2)The phone must be put to sleep and brought back up for the Smart Stay app to kick in

3)Turning the Shutter option on just makes the phone randomly shift between silent and sound on

other than that this thing works beautifully!

I didn't try it on my Inspire for obvious reasons
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Draiko:
I can confirm that v 1.0.3a works very well on my Motorola Photon 4G with the official Motorola SOAK test v2.3.5.

The only issue I can find is the shutter off feature mutes and unmutes the device. That's great except the silent mode icon keeps popping up and going away on the notification bar... that's a little bothersome but rather minor.

Excellent work! Can't wait to play with the final release!

Edit: Used the enforced stream silencer app to mute the camera shutter sound. Works beautifully.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Goyave:
The V.1.0.3a seems to work very well on Galaxy S2 model I9100G with RC cm9.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
This is the first time i have a report from desire s user. Thanks for reporting.

For some phone, the shutter sound is built in into the rom controlled by the hardware so there is nothing much i can do about it unless you root. There is an option to remove the sound temporarily while the app is running but i don't know if that will fix your issue.

It will consume very little on my phone (S2). with or without Idle time feature on (this will save more).I am not sure about others.

if you are overly concerned about it consuming too much resources, just set your time out to 30 sec or so the frequency of checking is getting lesser. There is an explanation somewhere on how the idle time works but it's currently work constantly with ICS only.

Could you help me turn on the debug (off and on your screen) and check if there is any picture in smartstay folder?

Would like to know if it works on your phone. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
There are quite a few users reporting it to work on N7000 galaxy note.

Something to keep in mind. you need to keep a distance to allow it to works.

Try debug on, off and on the screen. when the notification shows eye off you can go into the smartstay folder to check the picture taken and see if it was too close or too far or nothing at all. hope it works for you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
HHmm not sure what you meant.

It works something like this:

Smart stay uses the front camera (most likely) to detect whether you're looking at the screen before switching to standby. You no longer have to worry about the screen dimming or shutting off when you're right in the middle of something.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Thanks. do send me the logs using the latest V.1.0.3a. Maybe i can figure out something. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
try the latest v.1.0.3a. I hope the fix really fix the issue with galaxy nexus.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kuroneko_xiii:
I will betatest!

Hello, I will test it in a motorola razr xt910 (GSM, Carrier Telcel, Mexico, Android 2.3.6 Stock.)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Hello bro does it really works on Droid Razr/Maxx ?

ICS or ginger bread? I quess the date will be on 30th June GMT +8.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] brooksbarnard:
You can add Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch to the list. I believe some other Epic 4G Touch users have also reported it working on various ROMs already. I'm the running the Phantom's Blazer ICS ROM based on the FF18 ICS leak. Seems to work like a charm. I'll make another post if I run into any issues...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Yes, set to 15 sec, and idle time on. this will greatly reduce the battery usage.

I have an explanation somewhere on how this works but it was burried too deep.

I don't have the so called test feature implemented but if you turned on the debug and it missed the scan it will show a picture in smartStay folder under SDCARD.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
try out v.1.0.3a. i have prepared a fix for G NEx. Hope it works. let me know.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
The check frequency is based on your display time out.

Did you put your screen time out too low? try setting it to 30 sec. Ideally, it shouldn't need to turn off and on to reactivate but there are times, it's better to initialize them from the start to prevent a lot more complicated issues.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I didn't know that galaxy note will play the shutter sound. Which GN do you own?

There are other fix but root is required i quess.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
CAn you install the latest v.1.0.3a and send me the logs via the app while debug is turned on? thanks.

Hi,

Sorry that i don't have really time to search the thread but:

would it be possible to put the icon in the "active" part of the statusbar? (i don(t know the correct english terms.

For now it is in the notification area and it crashes my statusbar when i try to clear the notifications.

I use SGSII with NeatLPG, Jkay mod and Jkay Deluxe settings
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] drew071:
I have just tested the latest version on the HTC one X. With debug on i noticed its taking blank photos which i can deduce as not getting access to the camera. Idle time feature is on also but still no joy.

Cheers

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
1. Yah it tracks face rather than eye.

2. oh that's bad. did you check if the alarm is in exception list? By right if it works on your phone. Even the alarm is on it should turn off on its own. I am not sure about this. Yah let me know i will be glad to help you solve it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
YOu have to off and on the screen again to refresh the changes. The service will still run in the background but it's not doing anything.

when you are watching movie, you don't have to turn the service off. Just set the movie app into exception list and it won't bother you with the checking and lag.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
try v.1.0.3a. I have a fixes for galaxy nexus. Hope it works. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Check the you tube link to check out how it works?

if it's still not working, try sending me the logs via the built in function in v.1.0.3a.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Try turning on the debug mode, screen off and on.

while it misses you, try check in /sdcard/smartstay

you can check the clarity of your image and whether the distance allows the app to recognize you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
It's in the option.

LG Optimus 2X

Hi there,

Feature works, in portrait- and landscape-mode, but I had to make sure it has enough light.

thanks for your dedication and good work,

best regards,

Mirrormur, Czech Republic

using rooted stock LG Gingerbread 2.3.4

My report was a bit rushed, after almost 10 hours of testing, I might add that the recognition seems a bit random, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Haven't been able to reproduce every condition, but according to the log-fotos, the shot is panned on one side, not including only parts of the face. In addition, the shuttersound won't be silenced through the tagged option, I have to mute all sounds in order to get some peace...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
try turning off the shutter sound option, your phone doesn't seem to need that and probably that was the cause. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kuroneko_xiii:
So i have tested it with the v1.0.3 and, i'm not very sure... but it seems that the screen stays on... i leaved it looking at the wall for about 15 minutes... and it stayed on... some advice you can give?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Notes 1: you have to root in order to remove that.(No other way for now)

for Notes 2: can you send me the logs via the app?

Thanks. i will check on this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Thanks for testing it.

If it shuts off, it can only mean a good thing where previously it will keep the screen on. Would you mind to further check if the SDCARD/SMARTSTAY folder contains photo while the debug is on.

Asus transformer could work but i quess the camera is the problem. Try the same thing as above to detect if you have a proper distance.

Polling frequency is based on the display time out.

It's something like this:

DISPLAY_TIME_OUT /2 = CHECK FREQUENCY. If you have the idle time on,

that would be when idle time counter is at CHECK_FREQUENCY than it will fire off but provided the idle time stays below CHECK_FREQUENCY it will not fire the check at all.

Notification only shows the last status of checking at each interval.

The check though is based on the standard face recognition. however, if let's say your face is covered with cup or anything, it won't be able to detect. therefore, it should be correct that the eye is off but rest assured that the 2nd check should recover the status.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
try turning the shutter option off.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
1. you shouldn't need the idle time feature on. Would u mind to turn off and try again ? following the youtube link from the main page. Something is fishy here.

2. Ya, the changes need to be initialized before it will start running.

3. if you don't have the shutter sound issue, you can leave it off.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
If you don't have the shutter sound issue, you can leave that off. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Send me the logs with the send logs option from the app. i will take a look at that.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
your phone is probably not supported by now. Send me the logs, probably i can make it works. you can use the send logs function from the app. v1.0.3a

thanks for the application, install it on HTC incredible S (VIVO) but does not work, a message appeared that no existing front camera (HTC incredible S has 2 cameras), also the screen resolution is wrong because you can not see the text any of the buttons, i will erase the application and if there are other versions the test i will do
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Argh... those logs are so big that my emailclient crashes :(

I the meantime i also found out exactly when it happens:

it does NOT happen when i clear notifications when there are other notifications. It only crashes when Smart Stay is the only notification. the satusbar disappears but ALSO it seems that Smart Stay also crashes. EVen wurse: whil letting it crash for making a log the phone rebooted. I'll try another log but can't promise anything, sorry for this.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sabret00the:
It's set at 15 seconds for battery preservation. Even typing this reply the eye in the navigation bar went from open to closed. Do you think the camera angle may be an issue? Also does the application struggle with ethnicity in less than optimal light situations?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cocchiararo:
1.0.3 and 1.0.3a gave me the same, eye closes after 6 to 10 secs, then screen timeout happens as normal. Even if i am not looking at my phone, eye does not close before those 6 yo 10 seconds.

That folder is full of black pictures. There are some with a green weird thing also.

As i said before, i tried with the accesibility option turned on and off. Also low light on and off.

(All this, on my Galaxy Nexus running CM9)

Seems like initial fix for galaxy nexus doesn't work. Here is newer version with different workaround. Galaxy nexus users can try this. Hope it works.

Other phones that previously can't get it to work, you may also try this version but strictly for ICS only. since the workaround only available for HONEYCOMB and above.

Just a heads up, the HTC amaze seems to have some trouble working outdoors, in standard sunlight the debug photos seem extremely washed out, and the app registers it as not looking at the phone
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thrillerbee:
Tested v1.0.3a on GNex running AOKP build 40: never detects eyes - transitions to closed eyes and screen off. With debug enabled, pictures are generated in /sdcard/SmartStay/ but they are all solid black.

Hi elnoxvie,

I saw your Google docs about supported devices and here is an update for the LG Optimus. The LG Optimus that worked with me was optimus 2x. I don't know about others.

Running an ROM based on stock LG it works but I have to use the workaround for silencing the camera.

Running a CM7 based ROM it works too but with less precision as the camera quality is worse. But in CM7 there is an option to disable camera sounds, this way there is no need for activating the workaround in your app.

Beta feedback for 1.0.3

Version 1.0.3

HTC Rezound

RezRom 3.4 (Android 4.0.3, Sense 4)

Use Idle Time

Low Light On​

Low light doesn't feel like it's adding any benefit based on what I'd consider "low light" conditions that would still leave my face evenly lit enough to be recognizable.

Under regular lighting conditions it seems to take a while to get a "lock ", but then the service works fairly reliably (using notification to watch status).

we​

Low Light Off​

No noticeable differences from when Low Light support is on.

.

Use Polling

Low Light Off​

Face detection is more reliable, but still not enough to be consistently trustworthy. I'm getting the impression that ceiling lights (when looking down at the phone) are a real challenge.

.

I'm attaching a debug photo taken in a VERY bright room (at least 1,600 lumens in a 15'x20' bedroom. The photo looks very dark despite the ideal lighting. I'd guess that this explains a lot but based on the notifying icon, it appears to be recognizing me still in this scenario. Of at least 30 images in the debug folder, only one has decent exposure.

.

Loving the concept and I'd say it's almost ready for use based on how I'd expect such a service to function. Without it being entirely up to par though, i think it would create a lot of frustration compared to using the phone as I'm accustomed to.
