Note II US Sprint NFC Screen off Mod request

Can someone please mod the NFC.apk for the NOTE II US Sprint to allow screen off NFC to function?
Its working on the S3 and so much more convenient. I found a mod for the Note II but it does not work screen off only at the lock screen.
the NFC.apk is attached.

I'm just getting started with NFC tags, and i agree that this would be REALLY useful. Anyone have the know-how to make this happen?

it is so insanely inconvenient to have to turn the stinking phone on to use tags that I am at the point where if I found instructions I might try and make a go of making the changes myself

This would be nice to have. Hopefully someone can help.

Jelly Bomb has this built in. I tried pulling the Nfc.apk from the 10.20 build and putting it on my own deodexed LJC rom but it didn't allow nfc with the screen off.

Bump!
I need this for cm10 in my note 2. Anyone?

Download xposedintaller.apk from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 and install. Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update". Reboot.
Then go to this website http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/ and download nfc lockscreen off enabler. Rename .zip to .apk and install. When you get a notification about enabling the modification (after the APK is installed), tap that notification, and enable the plugin by ticking the box. Reboot and enjoy!
Check out the other mods from the villain site and I highly recommend downloading xposed app settings. Enables you to change dpi of any single app + tablet mode! Just remember to change .zip to .apk and install it.

Thanks! This worked to allow nfc on lock screen but not while screen is off. Still a big help though.
As for per app dpi mod, I'm actually running paranoid android, but thanks!
Edit: never mind, got it working while screen is off completely! Thank you so so much!

Will this work with stock rom? I tried installing the xposed framework, nfc module, reboot, but doesn't read NFC will locked or completely off.

negative. exposed nfc module does NOT work on the Sprint Note II

Isn't nfc being disabled while screen off a security feature?

True, but when rooted, you still have control of what apps you install. This mod would expose you to random strangers trying to steal your data.
Rooting is like looking a hole in your firewall and putting a gate up. This is like telling the firewall altogether.
But hey to each their own
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2

the only relevant security for NFC is that you have to be within 1 INCH (maybe 1.5" if you REALLY line it up right)
if your close enough to be a threat to my security with NFC your also close enough for me to be a very relevant and serious threat to your physical safety as I "investigate" why your lining a phone up within 1 inch of my phone in my pocket.
SO security? non issue. period.
and anyway in the future it should not be hard for dev's to enable whitelisting so only "certain things" can be done without user interaction.

this was an issue with cards before the feature even came to the phones... you never had to turn on your nfc debit card, why don't THEY have security issues?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

because THE RANGE IS ONE INCH
if your close enough to scan it that by definition means you have physical possession of it which means security is irrelevant.
this is not like bluetooth that you can pump up the power and fine tune a receiver and do it from 30ft away. or even 10ft.
1 inch. less distance than the length of your pinky finger.
again if they are that close there are OTHER issues at play folks hehehe

Yes it does work. I have used it on stock lk8 for my sprint note 2 and am now running it on macksrom working as well lockscreen and screen off. The guy who made the module updated it like 3 days ago for the new 2.0 xposed installer.

It's working perfectly for me on paranoid android. I have the option to easily make it work with screen off, it screen on but still locked, or turn off the mod completely.

ohhhh will try that right now I tried the rc2 verison. not the new 2.0 version. BRB

ALTHOUGH it does now work from lock screen (both settings) but NEITHER setting works "screen off"

[Question] Flipboard Tablet Mode for 'Samsung Galaxy Note 2'

Hey!
Now Flipboard is available for Android Tablets, too, but only with screens 7" or higher.
I would like the tablet-mode on my note 2, but i cant change between.
Is there a tablet mod from flipboard for the note 2?

Just tried it in tablet mode with the xposed app settings mod in here and it works fine. You have to install the framework in the first post first

Thanks for the hint. I've tried it, but you need some coding experience to do it. Could you upload your Modules/Libraries or whatever other needed? I think you could make a lot of people happy with that!

I just installed the framework app then the any dpi app. You can select tablet mode for any app that supports it. I've got gmail flipboard the playstore and youtube all running in tablet mode. It really is as simple as installing to apks

Multi-Window on CleanROM 1.0 (At&t)

I noticed that the extended multi-window feature on this rom does not allow me to split the screen with any apps (out of the ones that I have) other than the native apps that were able to do it with the OTA update. I can add as many apps to the mutli-window menu, just cannot split the screen. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there is a known way to fix it. Much credit to scott for creating this rom though... everything else seems to work fine. It's really fast! Thanks for any and all help!

I've experienced some issues with some of the 23 Toggle Mods that are out there breaking the multiwindow functionality for the ones you manually add to the mwc app. The only way I was able successfully fix it was to do a dirty flash of the ROM again. Sometimes you may get lucky by removing and re-adding the apps but that didn't work all the time for me.

So I did the dirty flash and multi window worked. I just can't seem to get both multi window and the 23 toggles to work together.

Do you use multi window?

I rooted my note 3 last night and installed the mods to add other apps to multi window. That was my main drive to rooting. But I don't seem to use it that much. I find it easier just to use one app and then click the home button swipe up on nova which gives me my recent apps and then use the other apps. That works better for me and is really fast. I was just wondering do you guys use multi window? And if so is there a certain way you use it? With any specific apps?

I use it from time to time when I'm on the go and I have to open a spreadsheet as well as my email for example, where I have to take certain figures from a worksheet and use them in my email to someone... that's just an example... Another example is when I have jotted down several numbers that I have to do some work with, so I open my notes, say, on the top, and the calculator on the bottom... It WILL come in handy--trust me.

I thought I would use it more, but I've only used it 3 times total. I guess more app support would help, but even then I don't I would use it much.

i have used it a bunch of times
will do it more when i can add whatever app i want to it (stock with root)
i just hate it when it does it on its own

What mod did you use to use all apps?

I do, but I'm noticing that after sometime the little tab disappears so I would have to go into settings and turn it off and back on. What causes this?

I guess it will come handy later on. At least we have this features. It's good to see what other people are using it for.

These r the steps I took.
I rooted my note using cf auto root. (still don't have a recovery installed since twrp and cwm are both having problems.)
Installed the xposed framework (from the themes and apps section in first post) reboot.
Went to play store search wanam xposed. Installed. Open xposed installer enabled wanam module. Reboot.
Go into wanam app. Go to system section. There is a tab that let's u add apps to multi view.
Done.

Yeah adding with Wanam module works great. It also adds a hotboot function which is handy.
As for uses, I've used it loads of times with my reader app. I can pop open a browser to search a definition or get more info on something. I found that apps are limited in how they work with each other though. For example I can't drag a reference image from a browser into sketchbook. But that's an issue with sketchbook and not the multiwindow function.

Thanks, i used the multi window manager from the play store to use all apps. As for how much I actually use it, not much. I've actually been using pen window more since we can add any app to it. It's become quite useful.

I did all this and enabled the apps I want...but how does it work now?
They are not showing on the right slide out thing for multiwindow...does it not show up there, but we can do it by opening those apps?
Also the wanam app is a lifesaver...lots of things on there
-nvm went to edit and they are all showing now

I actually use it a lot more now on the note 3 than i did on the note 2. The app groups really makes it more useful to me. Specifically i have an IRC/Chrome combo, an IRC/Youtube combo, a Chrome/youtube combo, email/gmail combo, gmail/chrome combo, and quite a few more like that, you can see the theme... I also enabled auto multi window for supported apps, which i find really useful, so sometimes if i click on a youtube link in some apps, it will play the video on the bottom half, or if i click on a link in a text message, it splits and takes me to the webpage... Each evolution of samsungs software gets just a little bit more useful imo.

So I have to know, I can't seem to get some apps to show up....I try to select Netflix and it won't show up in the multi window menu bar....it's damn near the only app I want to use with other apps and I can't!

Any idea?

[Q] Problems with Xprivacy

I can not get xprivacy to work on my t520. It installed and was loading (would indicate new app in notification bar) but would not let me into the interface to adjust settings, then i installed flashify and TWRP. Now it will not install at all. It appears to install but doesn't. Anybody running xprivacy on their 520? I sure would like to have it on here. Could be a touchwiz thing.

May be Xposed doesn't work?
I tried installing a couple other modules and can't get any of them to work properly. Xposed doesn't like our device or touchwiz. anybody using Xposed with working modules?

I can't answer your question directly, as I own the 8.4" (T320) and not the 10.1" version.
But, "Xprivacy" and "Greenify", work without any problems.

Xposed was originally written specially to modify touchwiz. I am using the wanam xposed module. Some mods work, some don't. I use it specifically to modify the multi window app and that works. Also to get complete rotation so I can use the tablet upside down when it's plugged in. I don't use xprivacy so I can't give you answers there. Maybe you could post to that thread and see if they can help you
