Hi Folks

This is a mod NFC service that runs at boot. It allows you to scan NFC tags either with the screen totally off, or with the screen on but still at the lockscreen. By default nfc will not work unless the screen is on and unlocked. download one of the zips below, and flash it via recovery (tested with Omega Rom). To restore to stock, just pick the stock version.

Also build JUBMG3 and onwards has a further feature which allows NFC payments to work on deodex roms. credits to romracer, for the original mod to disable the signature checking

any feedback appreciated.

Remember to backup before flashing. for that just it case situation.

Enjoy Optimal

p.s. remember people that leaving the NFC on all the time can leave you phone open to security breaches. so please be careful when using this mod.

Hi Folks

Just got my S4 i9505 today I'm so happy, anyway I thought I would create a NFC Lockscreen mod for the S4. What this does is allows you to use nfc when the screen is on and in a locked status. As by default the phone has to be unlocked.

Thanks for this, I was looking for something like this.
If I understand correct this the Lockscreen mod still needs to have the "locked" screen on in order for NFC to work.
If so is there a change you can also make the "screen off" (NFC working with locked screen off) mod for the XXUAME2 version :fingers-crossed:

+1 Can you make NFC works with screen off? I had this feature in my s3 and it was very good reason to use NFC stickers

I have been running the "screen off" mod now for about 2 hours and it's working great, I can now read the NFC tag with my my locked screen off :good:
Haven't noticed anything with regards to my phone getting any warmer than before, also battery usage doesn't seem to have increased.

Thanks for adding this mod, I can now start using NFC lite I want to be.

EDIT: using this mod in combination with "NFC ReTAG" and Tasker.

EDIT 2: after a while day of running this mod I can safely say it's running great. No negative side effects like higer battery drain.

Thanks for the great feedback. I have also been running the screenoff mod aswell. I can confirm the phone does not run hot. Must have been my hot hands. And so far 22 hours and still working great. Much more reliable than the sgs3 mod. Could have been my phone.

This is now going to be my default. As I always wanted this mod to work when the screen was off.

Happy days

Optimal

Hi,

Do we need a custom recovery to flash this? I have a stock ME2 rom, rooted with CF-auto-root, I have flashed the lockscreen mod from the stock recovery but I've received a message "signature verification failed" and NFC doesn't work with lock screen... Still works when unlocked though.

You need a custom recovery to flash zips, you can try to extract the NfcNci.apk from the zip and copy it to \system\app set the correct permissions and reboot.
If you're routed it should work.

Glad its all working well. When samsung release a new updated rom, I will create an updated nfc mod and I will post on this thread.

As I said before the screenoff version has been solid for 4 days and very little battery drain. Which has shocked me.

    Hello to all,

    my wife have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and she want to use NFC. She hast a Custom Rom on the phone. It is the CyanogenMod 10.2.
    I have a S4 and for a week I get the Info I should take "CM102-ODEX+DEODEX-NFC-Screenoff"

    Can I take this Version for the S3 too?

    Thank you for your help....
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    This mod will not work on the S3 as this is based upon Android 4.2.2 and the S3 is still on 4.1.2 I used to do the mods on S3. If I get time and my Laptop does not die again I will try and give it ago, but I have a backlog of updates to do :crying:

    Updated OP to include BMH1 build. I hope my lappy holds out.

    The app that crashes with the NFC payment error message is com.samsung.android.walletmanager with a SecurityException: Client module is tampered.

    This happens when it tries to start receiver com.samsung.android.walletmanager.receiver.NfcStateChangedReceiver.

    Will test if flashing to the stock NFC helps.

    I have been checking the coding, I think I have found the problem, but on how to resolve it I am playing around still, Looks like dear old samsung has introduced lots of security features on the wallet and NFC modules.

    A couple of things I have noticed that is different compared to SGS 3.

    They have started to use signatures and to see if the rom has been tampered with, so the signature checks to see if the nfc has been modded, but not also that, it also checks to see if the files have been deodex or odex. It looks for particular odex files, if they are missing or the signature does not match it will classify the nfc and wallet as tampered, therefore I think it blocks the wallet from working. I think its more to do with payment transactions.

    Since we don't have it in the UK it has not been an issue, As I only use nfc to do other stuff not payment transactions.

    I will try to play with the coding to remove the check, but my skills are limited in terms of smali, but I will give it a shot.
