[Q] MROM d2tmo NFC - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

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.

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.

[Q] AOKP and NFC

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!

Tether manager app

Hi all - I am currently using CyanogenMod based ROM's as I really dislike Sammy ROM. I currently tether a lot and wanted to find a tethering manager type app where I could see who was connected and perhaps if possible some more details.
Is there anything like this around? Can't find a decent app. Cheers

[Q] Paranoid Android 3.0 questions

Just recently installed Paranoid Android 3.0 RC1 and I have a few questions I haven't been able to find answers to.
1. The recent apps screen has no way to clear all that I've noticed, is it just not implemented yet or is it not planned?
2. I like to use the slider lockscreen, and usually there is a way to customize the sliders for different apps. I'm not seeing that option anywhere, any ideas?
I'm aware that this might simply be because its still in the works, but I saw no mention of either of these things while browsing the forum.
Thanks in advance for your help!

[Q] need ROM compatible w/S Note (searched)

First off, I have been searching for about 3 weeks trying to find a ROM that will retain s note. I have tried several other apps and have not found one that works as efficiently, and to my liking like s no doeROMsI have tried flashing several different ROMs and still have not found one that is no work on.
currently I am running a liquidsmooth version 3.2. Main reason why I crashed my phone is for battery life. After the NK2 update my battery life went to crap. I don't make too many posts on here at all, I spend most of my time reading and searching.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
P.S. I guess this needs moved. Thanks in advance for moving.

All Touchwiz ROMs (based on stock) are compatible with S Note (a Touchwiz app). Sounds like you have been running through AOSP based ROMs.
About all I can find has been aosp or CM. I tried the Roger Wilco ROM but could not get it to boot. I will keep searching.

I am having a similar frustration. I'm looking for a ROM(s) with S Note for a Note 2, though I got the R Wilco ROM to work. I used this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...lco12s-stock-ne2-v1-0-8-24-14-t2857216/page73
However, it still updates with Samsung, all the Google apps are there, and Gallery wants to sync with Google. WiFI and GPS worked out of the box. It's been really stable. Even Firefox hasn't been crashing!
I don't get why people want to have a Note and don't want to use the pen. I haven't found any other apps that work with the pen. Though, to be honest, finding Android apps is ridiculously difficult: there's no reliable way on the Play market.
So, what I'm looking for is a 4.4.x KitKat ROM with S Note (and therefore presumably Touch Whiz) that's stable, WiFi works out of the box, GPS works out of the box, and has limited Google apps (ie just YouTube, Gmail, Maps/Nav, and Google Play). In a perfect world, those Google Apps would be an add-on set. I got that idea from another ROM actually. I don't want it to auto-update and attempt to kill itself.
