I have upgraded to 4.3 from Goodness Reborn 4.1.2 (Thanks, CNexus!). Smart Stay (the eyeball in the status bar thingie that keeps your screen on) was working fine under 4.1.2. After the upgrade, the eyeball is in the status bar, but Smart Stay is not working.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I believe smart stay to only work on TW based ROMs, which 4.3 ROM are you running?

Thanks. This is the Stock Samsung ROM, knox removed, posted by Cnexus. It is a TW ROM. I did some more testing and it is actually working but they must have adjusted its sensitivity in the 4.3 version from the 4.1 because you have to now hold it closer for it to work. Also, the blinking of the eye is much fainter than before (maybe it was disconcerting to some people).

I have a modified TW Rom on my tablet, and the Smart Stay does not work sometimes.
