This is a NFC enabler from fonzi09 that, well, enables NFC from your NFC-enabled Galaxy S2 (try saying that 5x quickly..). Note that YOUR GALAXY S2 NEEDS TO HAVE HARDWARE NFC SUPPORT, ergo: Your S2 must have a NFC chip inside, whether its a SIM mod, SD mod, or preinstalled. Almost all custom ROMs remove the perms and libs for NFC and this just puts them back where they belong. Capiche? Yea? Good.

All credits go to fonzi09 for this wonderful mod which I'm unfortunately not able to enjoy because I have a UK Orange Galaxy S2...

Are you both sure you have the i9100P version with NFC? I also had this issue earlier on, its been a long afternoon but I'm sure it was solved by using the libpn544_fw.so from my original orange build.

Hey guys I had a question I have asked before but noone seemed to have an answer... maybe you guys can... I have a i9100 and it didn't come with any nfc on it I believe... like the battery has it written on it etc... this doesn't...
so my question is, does anyone know if its possible to add nfc to this phone somehow...?? By maybe getting a nfc enabled battery or something...??

I think we need someone to be brave and try it! :)

So if I have an international sg2 that doesn't have nfc by standard, this will still work if I get the SD card with nfc??

You need those microSD with NFC enabled eg the one that Visa is still rolling out in beta, or something similar. Or a SIM with NFC enabled.

I read about these nfc Sims but only one carrier seems to have it... hence pretty much not accessible...
Didn't come across these micro SD things... any links cost etc...??
Guess ill Google it...

    Hi everybody, great news!

    It seems someone has already made what I was asking here for...ages! :mad:

    All credit goes to "GAT" for this work.
    This post is just a simple translation of his post, i'm not affiliated to him in any way, nor will answer to silly questions (how to flash, etc)


    French Forum, NFC for ICS Patch

    There are links there to mirrors, choose the most suitable for you.
    You just have to flash it in CWM, and reboot the phone TWICE.
    A new parameter should appear in "Plus" amongst Radios (Wifi, Bluetooth).
    Apparently, Android Beam seems to function as well.

    It has been reported working with:

    - LPH
    - LP7
    - CM9
    - AndyX 7.1
    - MIUI ICS (unknown version)
    - Westcrip 1.1 to 1.8.1 and AOKP versions

    Install instructions (advanced)
    Note : These install instructions shouldn't be needed on latest Westcrip's roms above 1.4 (AOKP)
    - Go into recovery
    - Wipe EVERYTHING (but not your SDCARD of course)
    - Flash ICS 1.1 (yeah, old version)
    - Flash GAPPS + Fixer
    - Wipe DATA+CACHE, reboot
    - Configure Language and Account
    - Reboot under recovery
    - Flash NFCEnablerICS (whatever version)
    - Reboot, and go check parameters, it should be activated, uncheck, it should stay greyed out
    - Reboot again and test (there is no icon for NFC standby unlike in GB)
    - Reboot under recovery, flash the SMSFIXER_and_dialerT9
    - Reboot, you should be all set!

    For those willing, you can also unrar your favorite rom, unrar and paste the patch files directly into your rom (overwrite files!), repack then flash.
    Again, no how-to for that one, if you don't know how to unrar, just...don't even flash that ^^

    Know problems :
    - The "TAG" app is giving a FC on some phones.
    - The "NFC" parameter doesn't even appear for some. Wiping DATA and CACHE (aka FULL RESET) seems to deal with the issue on some phones. Otherwise, try following my tutorial above, and transpose it to your rom. NO SUPPORT HERE!!!

    Changelog :
    21-03-2012
    - Deletion of the com.android.nfc_extras.jar permission
    - Rework of the install script

    19-03-2012
    First Release

    For those who have a i9100 you don't have NFC chip inside. You need Orange France's i9100 or i9100p for this to work. For those who still don't understand, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA&hd=1

    I agree.

    Another thing, keep enable NFC after a reboot. It auto-disable every time.

    Taken on board, shouldn't be too difficult to implement! :)
