Is there a mod/flash that will enable the NFC on the lock screen rather then the current method of after unlocking the screen?
No one has done it for this phone but they have it for the tmo gs3. Which is a good as mod..

Thanks, thats what I thought. Still trying to figure my new NFC tags out. Even bought Tasker which lets me shut the screen off when i place it next to the bed.
I set one tag as a switch to turn BT on/off when i put it in its cradle in the car. The problem is when the screen goes off, if I turn the screen back on, the NFC tag is read and BT is turned off. I should have not stuck the tag to the cradle and to some other place in the car I guess.
This is almost as fun as flashing ROMs!

I had the same issue whenever I flashed through a folder on the sdcard. Sometimes NFC wasn't even there. Are your ROMs on the root of your sdcard or in a folder?

My ROMs are in the INTERNAL Storage of my phone, on the root. NOT on an SD card. Are you running CM?

I don't have any issues and from what I've read, the battery life is superior. I can go a full day with streaming SIRIUS/XM for my 45 min ride to and from work over bluetooth, browsing, email, 2 or 3 phone calls, and I will still have about 20% before I go to bed.

Actually on aokp ROM control there is an option to set nfc profiles. You could set it to always on or only when screen is on. It's cool

any update? Anyone made the mod yet
anybody? this would be great
[EDIT - Feb 27, 2013]I've merged both post into one. Also, I've zip-aligned both versions so that it uses less RAM on your phone. Attached are both the lockscreen and screen-off versions. Pick the one you want and rename to Nfc.apk before using
I've been searching for so long for this to be possible for the SGH-T989 but nobody had made one. After almost a full day of work starting from never having decompiled an APK and ODEX file, I've finally got a working version! :laugh:
I do not know how this will affect battery life.
Nfc-lockscreen.apk - This version will let NFC to continue to function while the screen is ON and LOCKED. The only time NFC should not work is when the screen is OFF.
Nfc-screenoff.apk - This version will let NFC to continue to function while the screen is ON and OFF, LOCKED or NOT.
Just a note, there is a "deep-sleep" mode on most Android phones that will disable NFC regardless. The phone goes into deep-sleep mode when the screen is off for too long. I do not know of a way to keep NFC function while it is in deep-sleep mode.
So, just to be clear, I have a Telus Samsung Galaxy S II X (SGH-T989D) running ICS 4.0.3. This hack should work for the T-Mobile SGH-T989 as well but I'll need someone to test it to verify. Finally, my device is rooted.
Pre-requsites:
SGH-T989 or SGH-T989D running ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4
Must be rooted, so you should have SuperSU
Have someway of copying files into \system\app\ - such as in my case, using ROM Toolbox
The modified APK file below, select the version you want and rename it to Nfc.apk
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BACKUP YOUR NFC.APK AND NFC.ODEX FILES IN \SYSTEM\APP\
If you do not know how to back it up, the steps below may be too complex for you. Try and figure out how to back those up first before proceeding.
Plug your phone into your computer. Copy the modified Nfc.apk to the root directory of your SD card on your phone.
Start ROM Toolbox and go into the Root Browser.
Browse into \system\app\ and delete Nfc.apk and Nfc.odex (assuming you have them backed up already).
Browse to \sdcard\external_sd\ and copy the modified Nfc.apk to \system\app\.
Press and long-hold the Nfc.apk file in \system\app\ until a menu appears. Select Permissions. Change the permissions to 0644. (Owner: Read & Write, Group: Read, Others: Read)
Reboot your phone.
I want to thank wrapper's initial post here that eventually lead me to mayhemer's post here.
Enjoy!
In case people wanted to know, I basically did this:
Changed
Code:
.field static POLLING_MODE:I = 0x0
to
Code:
.field static POLLING_MODE:I = 0x3
Copied and overwrote applyRouting() method from mayhemer's nfcmodsgh-T999_screenoff_UVALEM.zip to the stock one on SGH-T989.

Nice...I think this was possible already but I forget how I set it.
What I really I wanted was NFC to turn off with the screen off and turn on with the screen on even if it is locked with security or swipe. That way when I get into my car in the AM, I dont have to unlock the screen to tap my NFC chip. I could just turn the screen on, tap the chip, and put it in the holder. it would save me a whopping 3 seconds! all joking aside, this would help when I am wearing gloves so I dont have to take my glove off to unlock the screen.
I was trying to figure out how to set up Tasker to do this but failed miserably. There is definitely a way.

I don't think the stock ROM from Telus or T-Mobile can do screen off with NFC still enabled.
But what you're looking for, with screen on, but locked and NFC is enabled and when screen is off, NFC is disabled, that should be possible with another mod. I'll have a stab at it tonight if I find time. Now that I know how to do one, it shouldn't be as difficult to do the other one too.
[EDIT] Please see above for the modified Nfc.apk file.
Sorry for the delay. But here it is, the modified Nfc.apk file that allows NFC to continue to function when the screen is in the lockscreen. NFC will NOT function when the screen is off.
Follow the exact same instructions as above but use the modified Nfc.apk file below instead.
I didn't test it, so let me know if it works or not.
Side note: After using my screen-off version of the NFC mod, I've noticed that the phone has a deep-sleep mode where NFC mode is disabled regardless of my mod. I don't know what the threshold time for when that deep-sleep mode is engaged but just FYI. As for battery life, I haven't had a chance to really compare yet so I'll update when I get a chance.

I'm glad it worked! Some Stock ROMs don't have the .odex file because it is already inside the apk file. So don't worry about it.
Let me know how it goes battery-life wise.

This has no noticeable affect on battery life! Nice work. I am using "Nfc-lockscreen.apk" and it does exactly what I want it to do. I had to come back and grab it after changing ROMs. TY!

Not sure if it is just mine, however the reasonwhy the GVoice is listedthat way because on mine it tries to set up Gmail and when skip is hit it freezes. It will allow you to text, however only through contacts and will not let you read them for some reason.
Been looking into it all night.

Sounds cool, can't wait till I can give it a try during class tonight!
i have been talking to him, however when you theme does it make you sign into your account again when you go to the market or is this just me?
I went to extract the file and it notified me that there are duplicate files, name wise, in the \New folder\RedAndBlue\3g\stock area both labeled framework-res.apk. How exactly you got it to name two files the exact same i dont know, but this may be an issue that is causing troubles that some are having with the particular theme
Hmm found a bug I believe. In the sounds area when I click Get Installed Sounds it starts CMD , starts the daemon wityhout really doing anything aparant. If you try to click it again I get an error saying "Error; The same variable cannot be used for more than one control. The current thread will exit. Specifically vDevSounds Line#162: GUI,Add,ListBox, x600, y113, w260, h500 vDevSounds, %formated%"
Also the application is not work AT ALL for me. I have my Xoom in debug mode but whenever I click a button in pimp it flashes a few CMD windows real fast then sits there. I reboot and nothing has changed.

Is there a way to make it on discoverable with no time limit (120 seconds)?
Thank you.

MMM you tried with bluetooth on/off widget by Curve Fish?
also the HTC stock bluetooth widget does it,,,
What do you mean by HTC stock bluetooth widget?
Can you explain that please? I don't understand where you see it.
BTW, the curve fish doesn't have that option.
Only, on and off, nothing about the "Discoverable" marking.

if u enables this widget your device is visible all the time,,
Thank you for helping but unfortunately you are wrong.
I'm not visible to any one, I must go to settings to enable this 120 seconds Discoverable option.
Maybe you tested it with Known-Partner and he already got you on list, but with new people it can't be visible, I just tested trice.

this method didn't work.
The time do get changed from 120 to 0 and successfully store but the permission after reboot return to read and write
If permissions won't stay, use root explorer and on properties press "sticky", and they stay there.
However, I'd simply go for JB or ICS, who have the visibility option in settings...
rather than giving the "sticky" to anything, since it's a special permission, for which, I admit, I don't know the full impact on system.

Ya I don't see a option for the earpiece speaker. Just the main back speaker. Anything else that will fix the low in call volume?

Hey all, any idea why when I try to play music or videos with sound the phone freezes hard? I have been having the issue on CM nightly 12-24, 29 and 30th. I'm sure there's just an app that needs data wiped.
Any help appreciated.

Hey all, found a solution:
Use "File Explorer" with root access, go into /system/build.prop - scroll down until you see lpa.decode=true and change it to false, save and close and reboot.
Seems to work for now, though I imagine any new nightlies will require doing this at least for a while until they fix it.

@haynesr07, did you do a complete wipe? several times even? Sometimes stuff can leak through from your last rom and mess with your settings in your new rom, try clearing everything a couple times (2 or 3 times per item) and flash again
Also if you restored any data, that might be it, I've seen weird problems when people do that...I don't think this issue is rom specific though or it wouldnt be stable enough to be released

This is the current build props i use. Leave out the Bootanimation one if you want to keep your boot animation. Do not edit buildprop if you have no experience. Look up the proper way to use them, Dreamlogix explainsto use rom toolbox above. Dont add all in. Check if value exists and change to the new value. If an entry is missing add it but dont assume its not there because double entries cause issues and if you mess up your build prop you might not boot. Have the rom file ready in case. One would need to dirty flash to get back to current install or a backup. If on a custom kernel after reinstalling rom, run kernel cleaner and reinstall kernel. Gapps will work on the dirty install without reinstalling them.
Use at your own risk i am not responsible for damages to ones phone. This is my build prop values i add or use not my actual build prop just the values and entries that i add or change.

Thanks i didn't remember inverted gapps you are right. I changed and added all of the values in the txt document i posted. They weren't for a fix, i always use them. Thats a list if the values i use.
Edit: most of them all add performance in some way. I didn't use any network build props so it could be more universal for other roms...

I confirmed this morning that ktoon kernel (12/29) breaks audio (pandora, google music, 8tracks, etc) while stock kernel is fine on 1/1 nightly (clean flashed). On stock kernel, BT audio (google music) will play ok for 10-20 secs and then start fading in and out at a faster playback speed. You can reset this by making a phone call, but then you get another 10-20 secs of good audio before it starts up again. Someone should mention this on the dev thread at some point.
Also: if you're having problems with stock 1/1 nightly...do a clean flash. all my problems went away.

Your welcome, ui should be smooth with those.
I am not using any network build props is what i mean. I didn't want to play with tt for now to ensure my network works fine. So that txt document has none in it either. It is a bunch of tweaks gathered but no real network adjustments (i didn't want to negatively effect my setup or others)

Hi guys! Again here's another mod from me. This mod should fix the lockscreen issue when any apps requiring accessibility is enabled.
Just push the apk in
Code:
/system/app/
replacing the original one with this mod.
Sorry guys was not able to make a flashable zip my phone is the only device I have right now to access the internet(no computer) so would really appreciate it if someone can make a flashable zip for me
Update
Added flashable zip
Download here
And as always... Deodexed ROMs only. Don't flash in a pure stock odexed ROM it will break your lockscreen.

Hi! Added flashable zip
Question....
May I ask what were the issues with the apps using open accessibility? I use Knock2+
and if I need the fix, which out of the two attachment do I need? Do I need to flash both of them? or just the second one as the file name suggested its purposes?
Just come across this thread from a post on the trickdroid forums...
This is great....just installed the zip on my HTC One and its seems to be working perfect at the moment....if theres any issues I'll post up after a days use...
It's made me a happy chappie tonight..:good:
Cheers

For instance, I have a pebble watch that requires the pebble app. The pebble app requires that you start the service for pebble in the accessibility settings. So an option at the top under services you have to turn on. As soon as you turn on one of the services there - as far as I know any service not just pebble - it will make the lockscreen broken. So from that point on just touching the lockscreen anywhere will unlock the device. You don't have to swipe up the lock or clock anymore. And you can't pull any of the app icons up to load into those. It just unlocks the device as soon as you touch the screen. The big problem with this is if the phone is ringing in your pocket. As you pull it out of your pocket and it rubs against your leg/pants, it will unlock/answer the call. Now occasionally I don't want to answer the phone. Its been a big problem.
Thanks to the OP for this fix. You are a life saver! Or at least a sanity saver.

I flashed the zip in the download link and now my phone won't go past the "starting apps" screen after boot and before lockscreen shows.
I even reflashed the rom (dirty) and it won't work. Can you make a flashable file which puts the original files back so I can adb push it on my One.
I am on Trickdroid 5.5.1. by the way.
Please Help.

I have replied to your PM. Please check your inbox
I can't reproduce your problem so please try wiping dalvik cache or deleting the folder /data/data/com.htc.idlescreen.base/
And if it still persists try doing a factory reset instead.
Doing a dirty install of the Trickdroid ROM should have restored the original lockscreen app so I'm pretty sure it's something to do with your dalvik-cache.
Just try wiping dalvik-cache for now it shouldn't delete anything so it's safe.
So I guess the fix can only be used if you're rooted and that sucks cause I am not

Yes no other way at all sorry Better issue this bug to HTC then and wait for an update with a fix.
Is there a specific place to report these bugs? I mentioned this issue to them on the technical support form, but I'm not sure if it's the right place.
Either way, thanks for the help OP.
Yes it should be on the technical support.

I was wondering if this mod would negate the option to disable exchange server security? I've flashed trickdroid and applied this mod, but now my exchange server is requiring a password/pin on unlock. I'd like to be able to disable this when I'm home in tasker and I have that setup, but now it doesn't work. I think it was this mod that removed that feature from TrickDroid. Do you know the answer?
@Riyal since installing this fix I have a problem with the proximity sensor while on a call. Sometimes the screen goes black as soon as the call connects and the screen doesn't come back on. Sometimes the screen doesn't turn off when I hold the phone to my face and sometimes it does turn off but won't turn on again.
Is this problem related to this fix? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi! I'm not sure about the exchange server mod as I am not using it. I'll take a look at the mod soon and see what was modified on it and see if it conflicts with my mod.
And by the way could you give me a tutorial/guide on how and where to get an exchange account to test? Pardon but I don't really use that feature at all.
Anyways I am using exchange activesync on my phone right now but only using live.com account. And I'm not sure if having a private exchange server is needed.

Hi! Proximity sensor works perfectly well with my mod here. I have already called a number of times with the mod installed and I am also using tasker and I can't reproduce the problem
Please note the same information used to develop the app is in the guide for free... the app just makes it easier
You can find the app here
CALIBRATION REQUIRES ROOT... PLEASE GO GET ROOT ON YOUR PHONE AND THEN COME BACK.
Oh and BTW... I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.... EVER!
use "adb shell" or a terminal emulator to get a terminal prompt and run the following commands
Step 1. - Save old calibration value (Optional)
Code:
su
mkdir /sdcard/S4data/
cat /efs/prox_cal >> /sdcard/S4data/prox_cal
Step 2. - Edit calibration value and update permissions
Grab the current value with everything clear of the proximity sensor.
Code:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/state
The value on mine was between 45 and 55. If you a lot higher then there might be something wrong with your phone. I used 150 for my value. You can use whatever you want but 150 is working great for me.
Convert your calibration value to hex (The windows calculator works great for this... use programmer mode). Put your calibration value in place of the 96 in the command below.
Code:
su
echo -en $'\x96' > /efs/prox_cal
chown system:system /efs/prox_cal
chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal
sync
Now reboot and your proximity sensor should be working.
Big thanks to greaty for his post here
Does this app remove dirt/lint from your proximity sensor?

Sent from my Touchwiz device that never forgets gapps and everything works the way its supposed to.
I took my phone all the way apart and cleaned the sensor and it still had the issue. It seems that the sensor reads about 50 all the time and that is where they have the trip point set. This guide and the app just move that trip point.

because you dont know how to clean... i had 46 all the time and now i have 11-12 for month or two and it is not increasing anymore because i shielded it with silicone/rubber and no more dust come inside - thats the only permanent way to fix this.
I dont think its for CM11 also

I believe it's only in TouchWiz roms.
Cleaning the dirt out of the sensor is the only long term solution to fix it. But even then it's not permanent. It will eventually get dirty again.
This guide solve my problem.
I noticed about the problem when flashed AOSP based Rom. So, thinked it was a rom bug.
Then, flashed stock again and find the issue was still there.
After trying whit compressed air, and nothing changes, rooted my phone (again) and follow this guide, and proximity sensor is working again.
Thanks.
it was driving me nuts! this worked and thanks so much!

I'm using an AOSP ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643031) and worked for me.
But the point of my post (and I have the Verizon edition BTW) is to say THANK YOU! I got to the point where every time I made a phone call I knew almost certainly my screen wouldn't turn on and even half the time hitting the home button wouldn't do the trick. I know the issue is my otter box defender series, which never caused this problem until about a month or two ago. But I need the otter box and this fixed my problem... Thank you thank you! No more random voice mails from me because my screen won't turn on haha
Edit: For those on AOSP, if you type the value in the calculator, swipe left and hit HEX, it will give you the hexadecimal value you need
Ever since I flashed any custom ROM on my tmo S4, the proximity sensor hasn't worked right. Screen would never wake after a call ended, even the app I use to keep the screen off in my pocket (Gravity Screen, pretty cool app) wasn't working. I used the little app referenced in the OP, and it all works again! Thanks! :good: :highfive: :victory:
