I can't answer why they removed it. As the above post kindly suggested, you can call Samsung to ask them why.
Anyway, if you really like that feature,
Download "lux auto brightness" from market, and your problem is solved

Hi,
I'm thinking about to come back to an AOSP ROM but I need SmartStay features...can the new app ISeeYou be a good replacement on AOSP ROM? Anyone is using it (PRO version) on aosp? thanks
I know this might sound stupid but have you thought about just creating a widget to lock screen on instead, seems a much better use of battery resources imho, but then I have a real thing about all of Samsungs novelty apps,, so I am biased! Who can watch a video and do other things at the same time?! But hey, that's just me!

No no, I agree with you for the video features but during work it's very usefull for me to use smartstay features...Otherwise, I never thought about this solution, I'm thinking about of setting screen timeout on 5m and even creating a widget to lock screen, is it your way?

Yeah, I just use widgetsoid from the market, what it does is lock screen up to the max timeout, 1hr? So even if you forget to turn off I think it will turn off after 1 hour, and it works even in the dark, .......Samsung

also with widgetsoid I'm pretty sure you can create widget to toggle screen timeout to any of the system presets, even better....why didn't I think of that?! Silly me...doh!

I just installed this on my S3 running CM 10.
It does not work at all. It actually makes it so the screen never turns off.
I'm also using Widget Locker which also has a screen timeout function, and I've tried it with that disabled and enabled.
For reading long articles and playing WordsWith Friends, I would love to gain this feature back.
Any help or tips would be preferred.

Hi,
Has anyone else noticed a problem with the S3s screen?
I opened Ingress and I saw this screen with blue and black.
I suppose the transition should be gentle but it's in bars what I think is weird.
Also, if I'm on an AOSP rom the menus are sometimes like this as well.
I was wondering if my diwmlay is faulty or whatever and if I should bring it back as my volume button is sticky as well.

The problem is there's a "background" image baked into Android that has crappy dithering. There's a fix on this forum called dithered holo background fix or something like that. It's also available in Omega Files. I flash it in all the ROMs I install.

Hi, I'm on stock ROM with my i9300.
I used to have cm10.1, and at par with the original Android JB you could drag down on notifications to get their expanded version, regardless of whether they were on top or not.
I would like that feature in stock ROM, any tweak that allows this, modified SystemUI, or workaround to get this to work? My music player has expanded notification, so when I play music I would like the ability to use Gmail's archive button from notifications, for example.
Thanks in advance!

Samsung implemented this as a "two finger" gesture. Swipe two fingers down and up on a rich notification and you can expand / collapse it.

It's not Samsung. It's about Android version. You expand them with two fingers on Android 4.1, with one finger on Android 4.2, which is CM based on.
so what section do questions go to?

Not entirely correct. You do the two finger gesture in Android 4.1.1 and the one finger gesture on Android 4.1.2
Thread moved to proper forum.
Is there a way to remove brightness toggle from notification bar on JB ? Thanks in advance !

It's really strange how people's taste differ
brightness toggle bar from LG jelly bean is something i LOVE, you have no idea how important that brightness bar is for me
i hope you find a way to disable it, try in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194423 someone already removed Qslide apps, maybe also that bar.
ask, you have nothing to lose.

Google Play Store says "This app is incompatible with your LGE LG-P769."
What would be different between the 760 & 769 regarding this app?
Don't use google play, just download it from an "alternative source"

Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.
