The reason you don't see these is that the Android team moved the NFC enable/disable setting into the secure settings in 2.3.5. Prior to then there were a few NFC toggle widgets on the market. Now those apps would need WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS (so you're looking at only devices with root access willing to make your app a system app or JB+ devices where you can request it from the package manager with root access).

I don't think that there's a solution for automatic NFC turm om. What is more, it's not really safe.

I don't auto-turn on NFC. You can create an app that does this if you just have it request WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and then either use root to grant that permission via the package manager or copy/move it to /system/app

System settings --> more --> nfc [check/uncheck]
Or..
system settings --> system --> quick settings panel --> tiles and layout --> add --> nfc, then its on your quick settings panel.
I too would like to see a way of turning the NFC on and off without the manual prompt - like you can with bluetooth.
It appears that you cant do this because its "unsafe" and because of this reason they've also made NFC not work while the screen is off although some crafty people have realized this kind of defeats the purpose of having NFC and for some phones they've enabled NFC to work with lock screen closed (see link)
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/activate-nfc-at-any-time/
I can kind of see how its unsafe to be able to turn it on without acknowledgement - but if you could setup a rule that required Root access then this should be a reasonable stop gap? You would then be able to setup a rule in say "automateit" for example so that the NFC turns on and off during certain times or after certain rules are activated or stopped - this would then kind of make safe because you can turn the NFC off and know for sure its off after certain events have occurred.
I know this is a very debatable subject but I think its a good subject to debate.
I use shortcutter app from play store. Although you have to grant the relevant permission via adb.
There's no option to have shortcuts on the lockscreen if you are using any type of security lock (pattern, PIN, password). Shortcuts appear with the swipe lock, but people snoop on my phone all the time so I'm not planning to unsecure my phone anytime soon. I was wondering if there was any way to put shortcuts on the lockscreen (maybe with a flashable mod or an app), or if it's simply impossible.
Have you tried using smart lock settings? That's what I've been using.

Ah yes I forgot about that. I had been using my face as a trusted face, but I turned it off because it could never detect me in the one place that I always sit in the house! Having had a think, no one ever snoops on my phone at home, so I've set my home address as a trusted location. One problem though: the shortcuts appear but there's no option in the settings to customise them.

Remove password requirements and set to swipe for lockscreen. Change shortcuts. Change back to password or however security settings you want.

maybe this makes more sense to you. :fingers-crossed:
unzip, install, run, add toggle. done.
after that you could uninstall the app for good. just once needed.

If your like me and don't want to root your S6 because you'll lose Samsung Pay, then you can re-enable the mobile data toggle using one of the two apps in the thread below. The Samsung Quick Panel Restore did not work for me, but the other app did. I installed it, enabled it, then uninstalled the app and the mobile data toggle remained. I'm not sure how they do it without root, but it worked.

Another neat non-rooted app is the Galaxy Button Lights which can be found in the Google Play Store.

Can't find that app in the playstore. Does it still exist?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles&hl=en
Nougat / Oreo Quick Settings
this app can add a quick-settings tile to toggle sync
I noticed the option to toggle NFC is missing. I had it with my s10+. Is there a way to get it back through ADB?
Code:
# Enable NFC
service call nfc 7
# Disable NFC
service call nfc 6

If you want a non-ADB solution, you can use this app to add it and a lot more QS tiles.
