Default [APP] Smarttags for any NFC Enabled Phone

I have an Xperia S myself, and with it you get 2 Smarttags. (I bought 4 more)
!You can have a maximum of 4 Smarttags or you will have to use duplicates!
These tags can be scanned using NFC and you can set certain actions to perform.

My 4 tags are setup as follows:

Tag 1: Home
Turn On: Wifi
Turn Off: Bluetooth
Turn Off: GPS
Turn On: Loud Sound

Tag 2: Bedroom
Turn Off: Wifi
Turn Off: Bluetooth
Turn Off: GPS
Turn Off: Sound
Start app: Clock (for alarm)

Tag 3: Work
Turn On: Wifi
Turn Off: Bluetooth
Turn Off: GPS
Turn Off: Sound

Tag 4: Car
Turn Of: Wifi
Turn On: Bluetooth
Turn On: GPS
Turn On: Sound
Start app: CoPilot Live

Now whenever I scan my smarttags with either my One X or my Xperia S they will do the same! it's awesome!

For this however, you will need the Manage Liveware App from the Xperia S

Installation

Method 1:
Download Liveware manager from the Play Store

Method 2:
1). download the attached apk
2). push the file to the phone
Code:
adb push livewaremanager.apk /system/app/
Method 3:
1). download the attached apk
2). Copy the apk to your sdcard from your pc
3). Copy the file into /system/app/ using ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, or some other form. You must have SYSTEM set to Mounted and Root enabled. Check your explorer app's SETTINGS to do this.

Open the new app in your appdrawer (livewaremanager)
- the app will ask to downdload the smarttags app, just accept the download.
- turn on NFC (settings/wireless/NFC)
- Scan your smarttag (you can buy 4 Smarttags for about €15,-)
- ??
- Profit!

! This will only work with the official Sony Smarttags, or a tag with the exact same URL inside it! !

The Smarttag URI's
- taken from Indianl's post
If you happen to have un-used NFC tags laying around in a drawer, here is how to use them with the Xperia Smart Tag app from Sony.
Use an app which is capable of writing custom URIs to NFC tags (NFC Task Launcher is able to do that ) and write the following URIs to your NFC tag:

For the blue tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/1/smarttags1
For the red tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/2/smarttags1
For the black tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/3/smarttags1
For the white tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/4/smarttags1

!You can have a maximum of 4 Smarttags or you will have to use duplicates!

Have fun guys!

Smile Xperia s nfc tag

Sorry guy , you can have 5 tags , not 4

For the favorite tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/0/smarttags1

No need to try other digit we have try all possibilities

by the way the couple : Liveware/SmartTags app work with all device include those in 4.XXX include the Galaxy note with NFC chipset (not all country have it)

We are working on our own, with more useful function

PS: the tags for the Sony app’s is the Mifare Ultralight (the smallest size) , but since you want better function (like on/off app or setting) you must buy bigger one aka Mifare classic or Fudan

the sony tags for 4 is like USD 13 officially from hong kong, but i'm going to try out these underground metro NFC tag from china, I think they will work and the tags are about USD 0.34 each, I know that store value cards do work, so i'm sure the tag coins for china underground will work too.

It can automatically make your phone do stuff when it is near. Like when you go to work turn off the sound and GPS. When you go back home though with another tag it turns on the sound and GPS (:

I am using the way you have mentioned, but if I have a tag which enables GPS and also starts GPS application (Sygic), the privacy policy for gps pops up each time I show this tag. Is there a way to bypass or disable this privacy policy pop up.

there should be an option under settings to prevent the policy from displaying
