Note II US Sprint NFC Screen off Mod request

[nerys71]

Can someone please mod the NFC.apk for the NOTE II US Sprint to allow screen off NFC to function?

Its working on the S3 and so much more convenient. I found a mod for the Note II but it does not work screen off only at the lock screen.

the NFC.apk is attached.

I'm just getting started with NFC tags, and i agree that this would be REALLY useful. Anyone have the know-how to make this happen?

 

[nerys71]

it is so insanely inconvenient to have to turn the stinking phone on to use tags that I am at the point where if I found instructions I might try and make a go of making the changes myself

 

[k-wow]

This would be nice to have. Hopefully someone can help.

Jelly Bomb has this built in. I tried pulling the Nfc.apk from the 10.20 build and putting it on my own deodexed LJC rom but it didn't allow nfc with the screen off.

Bump!

I need this for cm10 in my note 2. Anyone?

Download xposedintaller.apk from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 and install. Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update". Reboot.

Then go to this website http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/ and download nfc lockscreen off enabler. Rename .zip to .apk and install. When you get a notification about enabling the modification (after the APK is installed), tap that notification, and enable the plugin by ticking the box. Reboot and enjoy!

Check out the other mods from the villain site and I highly recommend downloading xposed app settings. Enables you to change dpi of any single app + tablet mode! Just remember to change .zip to .apk and install it.

Thanks! This worked to allow nfc on lock screen but not while screen is off. Still a big help though.

As for per app dpi mod, I'm actually running paranoid android, but thanks!

Edit: never mind, got it working while screen is off completely! Thank you so so much!

Will this work with stock rom? I tried installing the xposed framework, nfc module, reboot, but doesn't read NFC will locked or completely off.

negative. exposed nfc module does NOT work on the Sprint Note II

Isn't nfc being disabled while screen off a security feature?

swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2

So is disabling root access on stock ROMs.

True, but when rooted, you still have control of what apps you install. This mod would expose you to random strangers trying to steal your data.

Rooting is like looking a hole in your firewall and putting a gate up. This is like telling the firewall altogether.

But hey to each their own

the only relevant security for NFC is that you have to be within 1 INCH (maybe 1.5" if you REALLY line it up right)

if your close enough to be a threat to my security with NFC your also close enough for me to be a very relevant and serious threat to your physical safety as I "investigate" why your lining a phone up within 1 inch of my phone in my pocket.

SO security? non issue. period.

and anyway in the future it should not be hard for dev's to enable whitelisting so only "certain things" can be done without user interaction.

this was an issue with cards before the feature even came to the phones... you never had to turn on your nfc debit card, why don't THEY have security issues?

[nerys71]

because THE RANGE IS ONE INCH

if your close enough to scan it that by definition means you have physical possession of it which means security is irrelevant.

this is not like bluetooth that you can pump up the power and fine tune a receiver and do it from 30ft away. or even 10ft.

1 inch. less distance than the length of your pinky finger.

again if they are that close there are OTHER issues at play folks hehehe

Yes it does work. I have used it on stock lk8 for my sprint note 2 and am now running it on macksrom working as well lockscreen and screen off. The guy who made the module updated it like 3 days ago for the new 2.0 xposed installer.

This.
It's working perfectly for me on paranoid android. I have the option to easily make it work with screen off, it screen on but still locked, or turn off the mod completely.

ohhhh will try that right now I tried the rc2 verison. not the new 2.0 version. BRB

that is a negative. on LJC the NFC module (the new 1.1 version) does NOT work.

ALTHOUGH it does now work from lock screen (both settings) but NEITHER setting works "screen off"
