[Q] AOKP and NFC - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have been using AOKP for several months now and haven't been able to get NFC tags to work with my device on this ROM in specific. I am able to use Android Beam with another phone, but tags that I know work on my friend's GS3, don't work on mine. I can neither read nor write to tags. It's like they're not there.
Yes, I did a full wipe before flashing the newest AOKP nightly from DougShell and tested the NFC capabilities with NFC Task Launcher before I installed any other apps.
Yes, I did check to make sure NFC was enabled and try turning it off and back on.
Yes, I did also tried it with Android Beam on and off.
Yes, I tried asking on the developer's thread without an answer.
I also tried the JB NFC Enabler found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822447
I've also tried going from Odin Stock, re-rooting, and installing the new ROM and NFC tags still aren't being detected.
And yes, NFC tags did work on stock ROM before I flashed AOKP. It just seems to AOKP and CM that don't like NFC for me. I can get it to work with other non-AOSP ROMs.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has the same experience or knows what's going on.

Anyone?

Come on, someone currently using AOKP has to be interested in NFC tags as well. Has anyone using AOKP also tried using NFC tags as well? Does it work for you, does it not?

Having the same issue here! I tried several of the same things you have tried with no luck! I'm anxious to know if there is a fix and if not, when will it be coming out!

Enabling NFC on CM10 for S3? Maybe I'm just blind?

So I searched for the answer, but everyone seems to say that GW is working on CM10...I did get it installed with the workaround, but what I'm finding is that in my Settings app in CM10, that there is no NFC option. Am I just blind and missing it in a different menu, or why does it not show up? I'm using the newest 7/29 stable build.

Don't hold this answer against me, but I am pretty sure that the NFC drivers are absent, Since CM10 is still in preview phase.

Not true. Tons of people using Google Wallet (NFC), and I'm using NFC Task Launcher just fine.

So I'm curious...on CM10, where should the settings be? Am I missing something, or should I reflash? Also...my soft buttons are gone?! Just the lights...they still work...
WOW!
I thought I was loosing my mind. I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I scoured these forums so much today my phone ran out of juice around noon. I wonder why some S3 747 users are having issues and others aren't. I have the AT&T variant and am using the 07/29 preview release just like the other posts. I have already done all the wallet fixes, but can't seem to find how to turn the nfc on either. Can you tell us the work around you used to get yours to work?
I'm having the same problem, NFC options do not appear in settings and Google Wallet states that NFC is disabled. This is on an ATT SIII, running CM10.
Exactly...no idea on my end. I'm also finding that Android File Transfer doesn't work, so I can't use my new SD card...I also cant back up, since my current one is full...feeling like Im stuck for now.

You're running the preview build, right? Did you have to do anything to get NFC running or was it enabled by default?
So... By any chance, did you miss a step in the wallet workaround install? I had the exact same problem. Ended up having to wipe and reinstall my rom. Then follow the wallet workaround instructions exactly. Also, if you ever installed wallet from the market, go in and make sure auto update is unchecked. If you look at the original wallet thread in the development forum you'll see this happened to a couple of folks. Not sure of the cause, but I know that I had to reflash and also disable that auto update. I'd recommend a nandroid right after you reflash a clean rom and verify that nfc settings are there (under wireless - more).
HTH
Good luck!

Thanks for that, but that was the first place I checked...since that's where it always is. The whole problem from the beginning was that it wasn't where it should be.
Anyway....
Good news. I found a workaround if it's missing. If you install CM9, make sure its there, then do a no-wipe install of CM10...there it is. Not sure why that works, or why it's missing in at least a few people's downloads of CM10, but that's my workaround. Going to try the newest version wallet workaround now and make sure it works.
I'm running into a really strange problem... while running a clean install of CM10, NFC is available in the menu. However, after installing Google Wallet via this method:
blog.tekkidd.com/2012/07/howto-install-google-wallet-on-att-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747
the settings option for NFC disappears.
I can run NFC by going through root access and installing nfc.apk from the app folder, however, this makes the phone EXTREMELY unstable, and it will begin to freeze up every few minutes. For the time being, it looks like the best option would be to wait for Wallet compatibility to be improved in the coming updates.
That is really weird. What I did was flash CM9, then CM10. (now I'm on paranoid android...but anyway). NFC was there, then I used the method listed in the Q&A section to load the newest version. Of course, when I went to McDonald's to use it...it failed...as it always has ( I had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus at one point). I've never seen NFC actually work for real. I don't know what it is, but maybe the people that run the businesses don't have it turned on correctly. I was really wanting to see it work too.

Please test: Card Emulation is possible with CM9 (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S)

I've found some talk on the internet which suggests that builds of Cyanogen mod from earlier this year enabled some sort of card emulation. The builds in question were CM9 builds from between January 20th to March 22nd 2012. This website claims that a commit was made to enable (again, some sort) of card emulation, but it was removed from future builds due to issues with Google Wallet compatibility.
Can anyone confirm this? I would try myself, but I'm currently not in posession of any of the supported devices. What I'm most interested in is if the emulated card has a static UID. This could be huge news if that's the case. Either way, the video demonstration suggests that they're able to dynamically change the data that is emulated by the phone
I searched through Google and found this page, which holds torrents of CM9 builds from within the above stated time range for the Nexus S, Nexus S 4G, GSM Galaxy Nexus, and the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. For those of you who don't know, the build date is the number before 'NIGHTLY'. By the way, this page has torrents for small update zips. You'll be wanting the larger, full OS zips (over 100mb files).
If you want to compile your own build with card emulation, you'll have to revert these changes.
I've not tested this myself, and I will not be responsible for any issues you might have. Good luck!
If anyone is interested, I've downloaded and I'm seeding the update-cm-9-20120319-NIGHTLY-maguro-signed.zip for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. You can find the torrent here.
This might be interesting to conditionally enable this on devices that will never support GW (no SE). I'll look into doing this later this week.

it is actually currently active in CM9 and above the changes you see have to do with how it is activated. now, unless the app the requires emulation is in the foreground, emulation default is the SE (Gwallet). otherwise, when the app is up, the app emulates. like it should be. anyway, enjoy the patch, i worked hard at it.

Ah. Thanks for the info... I'm going to look into making it default to emulation on devices with no SE (such as I777)... But first I've gotta forward-port the patches to CM10!
so much to do, so little time.
I'm very interested in testing this. I have a Galaxy Nexus, but I'm unable to download any of the nightly builds, because there are no seeds. Tried the torrents from 18th, 19th and 20th March and 0 seeds. Also tried the torrent from the OP, but no joy. If anyone still has one of these builds laying around, please let me know.

If you could do this I would be SO happy !
Keep us updated please!
Any chance of getting something like this for the Nexus 7? I'd love to just use my N7 as my ORCA card instead of the card itself.
Doug has yesterday ported the card emulation patches to Jelly Bean, as can be seen here. Could anyone do us a massive favour and compile a stock AOSP build for the GSM Galaxy Nexus with the patches in place?
Is compiling Android from source (with mods) difficult? I'd love to be able to do this kind of stuff on my own without relying on others for help.

So, I managed to download the nightly build for 19th March and installed it successfully. After booting, I accessed the settings menu and noticed that the NFC option was grayed out. I tried CM9.0.2 and CM9.1.0 and the result was the same, which leads me to believe there is some sort of driver incompatibility, but I can't be sure.
Then I tried the latest CM10 nightly build and now I the NFC option is enabled and working correctly, but no card emulation. I'm currently trying to create a CM build with the card emulation port made by Doug Yeager. I'll let you know how it goes.
I can confirm SimplyTapp runs using CM10 with the latest NFC patch by Doug, but I have no idea if it works. It says "Invalid Card" with my FeliCa-based college ID card, is there another way to maybe get it to work without SimplyTapp?

Did you compile the CM10 ROM yourself?
When you say SimplyTapp, do you in fact mean NFC Relay? Either way, there's still no current way to actually copy and use your ID card in Android. The only thing we can copy and emulate (as far as I'm aware) are certain NFC-enabled credit and debit cards.

I used this CM10 ROM, and I meant SimplyTapp.
The ID card was successfully read by other apps, but couldn't be emulated because of card emulation wasn't enabled. As far as I can tell full card emulation still isn't enabled because the ROM changelog specifically lists emulation as "Tapp Support" and nothing else.
I know ID emulation support exists, as shown by a reviewer here
Any apps that allow the gnex to emulate the same Id or copy the Id of another card and emulate the id?
Beamed from my Maguro.
The NFC changes have been merged into CM10; if your phone has nightlies, you should see this tomorrow.
I would appreciate it if other people could check it out and let me know if they can emulate a FeliCa ID, please!
I flashed it already, but no option to emulate a card or anything.

I never had any luck with NFC classic, and I find it a bit odd that that's the only application where people have made claims that they're able to read and then emulate a card.
Even if it does genuinely work, does your FeliCa card use default keys? If not, surely you wouldn't be able to emulate it without cracking your card's keys in the first place.

You can test for card emulation by seeing if the Tapp app runs or force closes.
I'm trying to wait for someone to compile a stock 4.1.1 ROM with the NFC patches, but CM10 is starting to tempt me. Could someone here answer a few questions about ROMs, though?
1) How would I preserve all of my current apps and settings in my stock 4.1.1 and then restore them in CM10? Titanium backup?
2) If I want to go back to stock directly from CM10, can I just go straight into CWM and restore my Nandroid backup and everything will be just as I left it before installing CM10? Could this cause any issues?

I'm pretty sure it does.
To the second part of the statement, yes everything will be the same but you have to remember to wipe data, etc. before restoring the backup.

[Q] SPen pull auto launch of S Note on aosp build?

Anybody know if the auto launch of S Note when removing the S Pen can/does work on AOSP / AOKP builds of Android? I'm assuming that it will require a patch or an app to add this functionality to an aosp build, is there something out there? Also assuming you lose this function when leaving TW. Additionally I'm not looking to use a different launcher on a 'stock' device as I want to move to PA.
...sorry ahead of time if this has been answered already, did a search and didn't find anything.

SNote is a TWiz only app. The best available substitute is Papyrus... But the Spen detach sensor currently doesn't do anything in AOSP.

Anybody have an in with the devs of Tasker or AutomateIt? ...Tasker's feature requests are closed.
Asking them to add an SPen trigger; set it to launch the Papyrus app would be perfect.

[Q] MROM d2tmo NFC

Hey guys, just registered on XDA, been lurking for some time playing around with various mods for the Nexus and GS3. This question is however related to the NFC capabilities of MROM by mmontuori found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172271&nocache=1
If anyone is using it is the menu option just hidden like the developer options were or is this functionality that has just not been implemented yet? I would like to use Google Wallet as I did previously on CM10. I have flashed GWallet and installed the APK on to my GS3 but have not yet been able to use it since installing MROM as there is no option to enable NFC under system wireless settings.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, cheers!
Bumping for great justice because the ROM author is not responsive.

Issues with nfc - specifically google wallet

I am running the most current nightly of the Pacman rom but this has been going on for quite a few versions and also in Paranoid Android when I tried it. Nfc works find but when I try to use google wallet it never finishes setting up. Checking the logcat it looks like its having issues loading the secure element. From what Ive read CM10.X should be using nfc with the required libs so it should work. Once the errors start happening in the log nfc will not work correctly until I shut it off and turn it on again, sometimes a full reboot is required. I know there is nothing wrong with the phone since nfc and wallet work correctly when Im using M.O.A.R. as my rom, so I was wondering if there is an actual issue others are having and if there is a workaround.
Thanks
Figured Id reply to my own with more info. Just installed CM10.2 and wallet worked as expected. As that worked I remembered PA and PACman are AOSP based not CM10.2. So I should actually ask is this a known issue with AOSP and is there a workaround. Thanks
No it should not be. The first devices with Wallet where the Nexus devices which run pure google aosp. So it has nothing to do with aosp as it has to do with a particular rom.
Have a great day!
Looks like the issue was caused by an old version of xposed installed on my phone. While I thought I tested PA and pac-man on a clean install I must not have. After updating to the most current xposed wallet does not cause errors to occur. Now all that is left to do is test to make sure I can pay for something.
