Default Smart stay on HOX

Does anyone think we can get smart stay (feature on galaxy s3) on our phones?

It's just software. But probably will significantly affect battery life as camera has to work all the time screen is on and has to process images.

I doubt they use camera, my guess is they use the RGB light sensor...

Give Screebl a try.
I have been using it for years and never had any screen off while using the phone.
Really good program.
It is available in play store.
