[Req] Tasker plugin wanted

+1 for Tasker plugin as well, great app, however I only want it polling when the phone is charging, basically enable the app and start monitoring on usb / ac then kill the app or disable when on battery, that would be great :)

Just thought I'd let you know that it doesn't appear to work on the Samsung Galaxy S II running 3.0.1 (or 2.6) Resurrection Remix. It also makes the Face lock fail every time I have found.

tested the light version on the HTV Vile (One S) running CM10 (Android 4.1.1) & although it says "not working" in your list, for me everything is working all right
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dstruct2k:
Doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy SIII Telus (same as AT&T) I747M running CyanogenMod 10; The screen never turns off and the notification never changes. I "aimed-away-from-face" and even tried sitting a piece of paper over the front camera.... No change.

The debug pictures don't work either.

But the front camera works fine in the Camera app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] josuemf:
how much battery will it drain? I'm just curious.

seems to work right on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.2.a
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fipsib:
Approximately 1,43655875%\hour.

Quick note, in your google doc stating which devices work, the code for the Galaxy S is stated as i9100, which is incorrect. the Galaxy S is the i9000

For the ones that have mentioned glasses Smart Stay on the SGS3 does not always detect my glasses. I think it's a correlation between angle of the frames vs the eyes and possible glare and reflection from the lenses.

just bought the app, i hope it will support you. Great work and keep it up
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ManCityFC:
How do you get rid of this constant notification on the status bar and in the notification panel. It's so unnecessary and pretty ugly. The Samsung one is so much more discrete. I only want to see the icon when its scanning, other than that, it doesn't need to be there.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dilesh Perera:
hi how do i get v.1.0.3a. for xperia RAY ??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Moogle Stiltzkin:
How is smart stay ex's compatibility with other programs ? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 international by the way. exynos quad core cpu with 1gb ram and 16gb sd storage space.

oddly it worked for me earlier, but then later it didn't work.

meaning my first time i installed it, it did detect me just fine, but later on maybe like 1-2 hours later the app didn't since then, even after trying to reboot and to reinstall.

could it be conflicting with other apps ?

these are the stuff i'm using that i suspect but am not sure....

1. wanamlite rom 2.0

2. siyah kernel 1.4

3. easy battery saver

4. auto lux

5. samsung smart stay

6. titanium backup

7. BusyBox Pro

8. cf-root

9. supersu

10. SystemPanel App / Task Manager

so may i know whether smartstay ex is being affected by any of these ? because the app isn't detecting me any longer :( and that is a crying shame.

i did enable debug but all it did was take my picture. not sure how that is suppose to help >->;
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GalaxyGusta:
Very nice app and it is actually works!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I am afraid This can only be done in pro version. The new version has a more improved notification but I am afraid it has been delayed since nebkat cm team and i are merging and we need sometime to fix the user transfer for the existing users.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
What is the display time out ?

I kinda quess is probably due to either the camera angle or your face too close. Picture in debug mode will show u the indicator of why it failed. Usually half face taken or too dark caused it to fail.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dilesh Perera:
Just now i have purchased PRO version thinking u will do more development for xpera RAY. i like this app. not working fully at the moment but hop u will make it work good as other ones

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sabret00the:
Can we get an ETA? I paid for an app that doesn't work and at the time of purchase, there were regular updates to this app, thus I thought I'd be aiding development. Unfortunately the exact opposite has happened and I'm currently left feeling like I've had my money stolen from me.

camera works fine here and im on GB
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jlehenbauer:
Off to a decent start!

On Evo 4G (sprint), running CM7.

What is the refresh time for the app? Does it check for eyes every 15 seconds? or 30?

It seems to be sporadic. Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it takes a while to register that i'm not looking, and sometimes it turns off while i am still looking (about 12-20 inches away, should i be closer?).

Other times it works very well! i'll try to narrow it down to let you know if anything else is affecting it.

Let me know if i should be doing anything differently!

Also, front camera in camera app works fine while the service is running, active or deactivated.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Osutin:
I've noticed that its eye detection is a little crappy. I could be looking at my screen from x distance, x being a variable for a fair distance, and it will randomly detect and fail to detect my eyes. Plus, it does seem to use some, but not much, facial recognition.

On the galaxy s2, I can confirm that if you continue looking at your screen and close your eyes, it still detects you as looking at it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] war10ckUM:
well, tested it on sgs2 cm9 night, sgs2 with stock 4.0.3 and on desire stock 2.3.something

works fine on all, although it seams it wont turn it self off :D

on few occurrences it started showing up again in notification even tho its not on

bit more polish and functionality, already stated integration with touch screen, and i'll pay few buck for it ;)

and please, remove that iphony interface, this is android, use holo

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
the check is based on your display time out. I will try to check on this. Wait for the new update on sunday hopefully.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LogeshMenon:
Testing with SGS2 SlimICS ROM 4.0.4 (AOSP) + Fluxi Kernel. 15sec screen timeout. No major issues so far, just that some times it does not detect eye movement, but this is in the 10~15% ratio of overall time.

Also, it does not work, when games are in foreground. My main gripe, is that some times, games such as where's my water goes off, while you're figuring out the game plan.

Overall, this is great and nifty little feature. This feature on S3, would be the only selling point for me to change, but then i told myself, give a couple of month's, it's bound to end up in S2.. :D:D

Would pay a couple of buck as well.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Alexander T.:
elnoxvie,

While you're busy adding some love for GNex, I have good news for you: just tried the app on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 with stock Honeycomb 3.2 firmware, and it works nearly perfect!

Observations and recommendations.

First, the app is detecting eye presence based on screen timeout setting, but it doesn't check the actual elapsed idle time, thus performing eye detection every e.g. 30 seconds, no matter if user interacts with touch screen or not. This leads to unnecessary battery charge waste. It would be wise to constantly monitor the elapsed (idle) time counter, and, if the timer is about to run out, perform eye detection, else, skip the detection.

Second, implementation of special exception app list is highly recommended. This will allow user to select apps, that already keep the screen on, so that eye-detection is not required while these apps are in foreground.

Third, and last. With the above idea in mind, it is possible to further develop your app's "smartness" by implementing a force screen-off feature related to the exception app list. It will switch off the screen as soon as eye is NOT detected, overriding any app, that keeps screen constantly on. So, for example, if user accidentally leaves her smartphone/tablet unattended with some book reader app, which keeps the screen on forever, in foreground, the smart stay will help saving battery, switching off the screen just after the next periodic detection.

Sounds good? :)

I guess you have come from Eye Spy ? You will need to wait for Nebkat to fix the issue.

As for Original Smart Stay Ex Users for those who have bought, your pro app will become unlocker.

However, Please WAIT a little longer, Nebkat is fixing issues with the Pro checker.

We promised our latest version is completely awesome. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
No worries. Latest version is totally awesome and if you have the pro, we have introduced a scan time which improve the checking reliability.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Hi Guys,

We are officially Merging with Eye Spy (Nebkat). Details on how to upgrade will be released in two days time after we fixed some issues.

For those who have purchased, you don't need to pay for the upgrade. :)

Be patient, we promised the new update is going to be awesome.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know two things:

1st. our new free version is up. You can download the new free version from here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.eyespy.free

2nd. For those who have purchased the Pro version from Smart Stay Ex. You can navigate to download from the link below. On First start, it will unlock all the pro features (No hassle).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.eyespy.free

NOTE: Please remember to update Your Pro Smart Stay to V.1.0.3 so that it doesn't conflict with the current Smart Stay Ex Pro.

Any issues, please post here, we will try our best to answer.

The changes should be visible in a few hours time. Please take your time to check. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sabret00the:
Awesome, just installed. Will test now. Can I uninstall the old one?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:

Plus all the pro settings are activated & working great, I've got the face detection vibrate notif switched & working fine, low level light setting is nothing short of fantastic. Imho def worth buying pro, plus it gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling, knowing your donating to a dedicated Dev, whom promptly answers any & all bug reports/enhancements.

sincere thanks ;) :thumbup:

Hmm wierd, i turn off all features,restart and start turning them on one by one, now works great..

Also, what the hell! You also manage to merge that annoying never seen before in any other app bug which is causing stuttering during scrolling
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zero_3:
I downloaded the new version and it works well with my GSII running stock rom ICS 4.0.3. If you get issues with youtube app video stuttering just add the app to the exception list also add the default video player because it also stutters if not added.

Now for some suggestions: Coming from the old smart stay ex app paid version, updated it then downloaded the new version and now works fine. But I noticed that I now have two icons for the app, one for the old one (black circle with red circle on center) and one for the new one (green circle with black circle on center). Would it possible to just have one icon?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blade30p:

Great work guys. The new version works simply great. Now the screen stays on even when I am holding my phone on some angle and my face is not so in front of the camera.

Still in complete dark it doesn't pick up my face but I can imagine it's not possible to do:)

The only thing you may want to look at is - do not scan when screen is touched. Normally it works, and however when I use Tapatalk along with Swift keyboard I can see the icon of scanning while typing (just like right now) :)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cocchiararo:
very nice.

I second the idea of hiding the "unlocker" app icon.

Something i noticed, is that even with accesibility activated, i was touching the screen, and the "scaning" icon appeared. Any idea why ?

Finally, is "constant scan" instead of "picture" better ? (since it was a pro only feature, i enabled it :P).

ps: i have a galaxy nexus on stock 4.1.1
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vgergo:
good job guys

I followed the instructions on my galaxy note / rocket rom v6:

- updated smart stay ex pro first (don't buy version)

- installed the nebkat free version

- enabled the accessibility service

- fine tuned the settings

and voila, all works well

I love the notification options, the triple quadruple checking. As someone else mentioned, it feels as if it checks a little too often unnecessary, even while I'm obviously using the phone, touching the screen - - isn't this what the accessibility service should take care of? Anyway...

I'm still waiting for the option of setting a longer screen timeout value when it's too dark or too light for the camera to detect. I guess (hope) it's coming in a later version.

Thank you again, the new version has a lot of added value, the merger was a big win for me
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] amoc1001:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
For those of you who got confused. Let me explain it another time.

If you have purchased the app, you are entitled the same benefits on the new Smart Stay Ex Pro.

Here is the steps to unlock:

1. Install the pro version (which you have purchased on old Smart Stay Ex)

2. Install the free version.

3. Open the free version. you will be able to see all the Pro functions enabled.

Please don't repurchase, if you have bought the old is the same as you have bought the new one. Same benefits it's just different app.

Nexus 7 Support will be added soon. There are some issues with the Market Filter. We are sorry and working on it.

For now , you can install the app from here.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vitoski:
@elnoxvie

Just checked again and it looks like the Smart Stay Timeout service (option) doesn't perform its role very well. Even if I am touching the screen with 1 second interval it still scans my face:(

I might be wrong but I feel the battery drops faster because of that.

One question: Is there an option or mechanism in the new version (after marging) that prevents polling when the screen is off as it was introduced in your original version?

EDIT:

Dunno if you guys experience battery drain but it looks like the new version needs more battery (at least in my case). When Smart Stay (with Smart Stay Timeout service) was on my battery was going down pretty fast. When I looked at the battery consumption graph it looked like my phone was not entering Deep Sleep state. When I switched it off half an hour ago, it is better.

I will do some further testing with BBS after I charge my phone.

EDIT2:

Just to let you know I am on CM9 nightly from 08.04.2012 with Siyah 3.5.2 kernel.

besides seeing the scanning eye when i just stoped touching the screen (maybe it has a timer that stops counting when we are touching it, but resumes instead of reseting when we stop?), i have no issues, no force closes, no nothing

the update was great
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vitoski:
Small update regarding Smart Stay Timeout Service.

I did another test right now with CPUspy. When I was continously pressing the refresh (click 'Menu' button and then 'Refresh' on the screen) the scanning icon never appeared. I was clicking for more than 10 seconds.

On the other hand when I start typing SMS or message on the forum with tapatalk the touching seems to be ignored and SmartStay scans my face every 7 seconds (I have 15 sec timeout).

I am using 'Continous scan' instead of 'single shot'.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ManCityFC:
Mate, surely it would just be easier to post the exact same app on both the old and new Play Store items. It's overly complicated having to download 2 programs to do the same thing (even if one is acting as a license key for the other) and people are bound to get confused and have them both running. Ultimately people will see poor battery degradation running the same app at the same time and you'll end up with a bad star rating.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vitoski:
Indeed.

Now my old instance of Smart Stay got updated and it does no longer acts as license holder. It looks like the features can be again turned on... So now I have to apps where I can enable/disable features (new one and old one)

The update was done through the Google play
