Opening a file with NFC tag - NFC Hacking

My apologies if this has been posted before, I didn't see anything though while searching.
Is it possible or is there and app out there that can program an NFC tag to open a files, say, a .PDF that is already on you phone?
This would be awesome for my line of work.

I think NFC Smart Q can do this.

NFC Smart q works great to open a file, but it is not compatible with the Nexus 10. Does anyone have any options for the nexus 10? I would like to open a video file that is on my nexus 10 using an nfc tag.

I am looking for the same thing.
I a trying to find an nfc app that can launch a shortcut of a file.
Specifically I want to open an e-robot command file.
Any ideas?

eBookLauncher (new homescreen)

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.
it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot
i would be interested to see a screen shot...
Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

And you are running the apk you downloaded from this thread?
I'll have a look, but I thought I had taken out the code trying to open the database directly.

Only the main page, books and collections screen have been worked on so far.
I haven't even opened the other screens yet, so opening them could do anything (including crash)
It is worked ! , thank you

i`m use apk from http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/downloads/detail?name=SonyPrsT1Home-0.0.4.14.apk&can=2&q=
At now, i solved this issue by editing permissions of file from screenshoot path "chmod 666".

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.
Wow, I love this forum!!
From what Googie posted, I can see this is another cool thing to try out.
Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.
the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.
It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)
First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

THANKS, great work! Watching for code check-in
I can't check in the code until I get home tonight, sorry.

So how do these work....

Just got a galaxy s3 and was wondering how this works. Do i need to open an nfc app to tag to allow my phone to read a tag?
It works by putting ur fingers on the keyboard and searching NFC tags or even better read the 10 1-2 pages threads in this forum

Well say
You don't need to open an app, the system asks you to select an app after you tap a tag.

[Q] Disable MMS Slideshow

Hello,
Whenever I get a picture sent to me via MMS, it shows it as a slideshow. This drives me crazy and I wish it didn't.
I've Googled it so many times and looked everywhere but haven't been able to figure it out.
I found this thread for a Note2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221045
Adding this into system/csc/feature does the trick.
<CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsOnePageViewer>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsOnePageViewer>

But I'm not sure how to apply that to my SGH-i747M
Please help!!!
I've read that some people just get a different texting app, but I'd rather just fix the stock one. Unless there are some other benefits that I don't know about.
Thanks!!!
Most of the rooted stock roms found in the development section have this fixed.
Is there any way to fix it on the stock ROM though? I'm rooted but don't have time to look at changing Roms right now but would just like to fix this one issue.
The best solution I've found is to ask the sender to just send the picture and not include any text. If they do this, I will come through as just a picture that you can pinch and zoom. This is a hack, but works and is better than nothing.
I guess I just figured that the Note2 and S3 are similar so the fix would be easy to apply here, but I guess not.

Just add that line of code to /system/csc/feature.xml

Unfortunately you need to be rooted to edit feature.xml.

Perfect thanks! Before I go and do that, is it as simple as using Root Explorer, finding feature.xml and adding that line in?

Yup. Just add it in the "Message" section. Actually anywhere is fine, but if you add it as the last line in the message section you will be able to easily find it again.

I just went to do this but I don't have a feature file in that location which was my original problem... I thought you had given the correct location for the file on the S3. Any ideas where it would be?
I just looked at others.xml in system/csc and there is similar language to the other hacks listed in that thread.
Does anyone know if that is the correct place for out S3s?

Motorola Skip on Other Devices

I have looked all over XDA and Google looking for an answer, so I hope I am not starting a repetitive thread.
I got my girlfriends Moto X in the mail today and she got a free Motorola Skip with it. She isn't going to use it, so I figured I would try and set it up on my HTC One. I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions, or tips? Has this been done yet?
would also be intrested in this

I'm fairly sure a lot of people would. I'd like the quick notifications feature too.
Assuming you know how to NFC, can you scan it with NFC tag info and post the results?
I'll have a looksie see how it works.
(Scan tag, email to yourself then copy/paste from the email)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for posting this, was just coming online to post the same answer. Interested in the results.
If its just a standard tag - doubtful, but who knows with googorolla these days - I have an app called nfcsecure that does a similar thing. Due to limitations of the framework, I can't actually turn the screen on, but its an NFC lockscreen.

[Q] Using phone as NFC key?

Hi everyone,
i have just purchased a nexus 5 after a long wait for its release, so i am now going to have an nfc enabled phone. I go to a university where we have nfc tags instead of keys and i would like to know if it would be possible to write the information from the nfc tag to my phone so i will be able to use my phone as my key so i dont have to keep taking my key around with me.
any help with this would be much appreciated, or if its just not technically possible at least it will have put this idea to rest in my head
Thanks guys

Thanks for the reply! Just got an email from google saying my N5 has shipped cant wait to try this!
Id be a bit concerned if my campus keycard system could be cloned by anyone with nfc on their phone. If your school is on their and puts some level of encryption on their system. Then again if they are at all like my school was when it comes to tech, clone away!
endlywi distinct
unfortunately the key is encrypted but got my nexus 5 so woo!
You might be able to talk to the person who runs the keycards and get them to flash your phone but id highly doubt they'd let you do it.
