[Root] App DisablerExpert's Review
Imagine this situation, you set your screen off timeout in just a few seconds in order to extend battery life. However, that's annoying when you're actually looking at your device (for example, when you're reading on it). Since it would be annoying changing screen timeout all the time, the guys from nebkat have developed an app that solve this issue, adding a new feature that's only available in the latest devices like Galaxy S3.
Smart Stay uses front facing camera to detect when you're looking at the phone. Then, makes sure the phone screen stays on. When you stop looking at it, you preferred timeout will be applied as usual. Save battery but don't make that disturb you thanks to this app.
A great tool for those who use to read in their device. Recommendable.
SmartStay Ex scans the front camera for faces at regular intervals. If a face is found, it will keep the screen from turning off. There are many advanced options available and many more planned!

Garbage

Works great until every time I watch a video or steam some music it makes the audio crackle when taking a photo to detect my face. Shame!

Idea is great; less than impressed with performance.

One reason I tried this app is that I'm using a custom ROM on my S3. Stock ROM already has Smart Stay build in. I tried with 15cm distance, blinking, slightly moving my head, well lit room, lighting correctly behind the phone. Tried with 35->45cm dista

Seems to do its job, but burns the battery hard. Also caught it keeping the screen on while laying flat on a table...
