[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
I am unable to access your picture in the first post from my current location.

Does your battery say Near Field Communication on it?

Then most likely, you have NFC. The next question is, do you have the following files in your firmware?

/system/lib/libpn544_fw.so
/system/lib/libnfc.so
/system/lib/libnfc_jni.so
/system/lib/libnfc_ndef.so
/system/lib/Nfc.apk

I may have the names of some of the libnfc files slightly wrong. If you have the above files, you may only need a permissions XML file from the Nexus S to be added, along with a Settings.apk smali hack.

That's how us AT&T users got NFC working on our devices (I777). :) (However, Google Wallet is still not working - that's a LOT harder.)

I don't think the difference is newly manufactured vs. old - it's regional differences. Some Korean models have it, the North American I777 on AT&T has it. Other new regional variants (but not necessarily new manufacture of existing regional variants) may be getting it.

We Have NFC Hardware

As per Entropy512 post i looked inside system/lib folder & i found

libpn544_fw.so

libnfc_ndef.so files present....

So does this mean we have nfc ??? !!! i'm even more excited about my galaxy s2 now!!!... GUYS WE HAVE NFC HARDWARE.... YIPEEEEE :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

It might be unlocked by Ice Cream Sandwitch Update.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
[Galaxy S II General] ametarasu:
From where and when did you buy your phone. I am planning to order via flipkart.com Apparently no-one(sellers) knows if NFC is there or not. I am wondering if there is a way to verify.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I have /system/lib/libpn544_fw.so and /system/lib/libnfc_ndef.so
[Galaxy S II General] micrographics:
Where and how do I search for these files to check whether we can have NFC.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Dude having the framework files does not confirm NFC plus more over Ravi you are on a Custom ROM so it is bound to have all the framework files. It is the hardware which matters and confirms the NFC. As far as i'm concerned if you don't get the NFC option in the wireless and connectivity settings you don't have NFC. Better wait for ICS for confirmation.
[Galaxy S II General] shishirasm:
dude i'm not on any custom Rom... I'm not even rooted... but i have thise files... i even googled about those files... you cannot push those files manually even if you are rooted... it Will make your launcher force close.... this means we have those files by default... that definitely suggests us something about nfc's presence... i searched so much about it & pretty confident that we have nfc hardware... we just have to wait for ice cream sandwich...

Dude i bought it from mobile sulekha.com 15days back... mfg date on my box is Aug 2011... go buy there... they have an offer - its for just rs.25k... you get sealed & genuine set with invoice... good luck.... :)
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Agreed ....... you have those files .......... that does not imply that there is NFC in your phone .......... it just implies the firmware you are using is capable of using NFC hardware if available on your phone ........ BTW the link provided earlier clearly showed and NFC settings option in wireless and connectivity settings ........ what i'm trying to say here is no software/files can ensure that you have a particular hardware on your phone..... as per updates 2.3.4 activated the dormant NFC chip in Nexus 1 & S and other NFC compatible phones for the app called google wallet ....... they even had a demo and a presentation on it ............ heck it was the primary feature of 2.3.4 ............... please verify the same if it works on your phone as well .......... or wait for a feature called Android BEAM in ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] shishirasm:
Yeah no offence, But as mentioned by that person called Entropy512, AT&T Users in America were able to crack into these files & have made NFC available to them.... So We are also having those files means we might stand a good chance in Having nfc (Well thats what i want to believe)... okay why take trouble.... lets wait for Beam in ics update... but i just wanted to say that we have an edge over having nfc...
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Agreed NFC is a really gud feature ....... for using phone as a wallet it has no equal..... but if you mean for data transfer between devices i'd rather stick to Wifi-Direct for bulky data ....... look it over it "IS" going to make bluetooth obsolete
[Galaxy S II General] Nyssa1104:
You also need the Tag files (Tag.apk plus lib files) for this not just NFC file..;)
[Galaxy S II General] 3waygeek:
A quick & dirty way to tell if you have NFC installed is to run Z-DeviceTest on your phone; it's a free download from Android Market. It should tell you if you have the drivers & hardware installed.
[Galaxy S II General] robertafoster:
I have the AT&T Galaxy S II and argued for an hour with Samsung Level 2 support because part of the reason I wanted this phone was for the NFC. The employee told me it wasn't suppose to have it and I told him it was. Then I pointed him to a page on their own website that describes NFC for my phone. Then he asks me if the picture looks like my phone and I said I guess so, but I asked what the H does that have to do with anything. Then he said the picture was a Global version of the phone and I said there isn't one word in the description other than Samsung Galaxy S II and Global doesn't appear anywhere in the NFC info.

He insisted I was wrong so I copied the webpage for my own files for future reference. After that call I pulled my battery cover off and on my battery it says Near Filed Communications so I feel I have been peeled like a banana!

Does anyone know if I can root my phone and make the NFC work with Google Wallet?

Did I get ripped off or am I just stupid because it looks to me from the articles I see on the Internet there is a lot of people that feel like they got screwed.
[Galaxy S II General] manish21nov:
i am from india z test showing nfc present

do i have nfc ?
[Galaxy S II General] Prakhyath:
Could you please provide more details about your phone? like the model, make prob a screen shoot of the About page of your phone. Also when and where did you purchase your phone? Do you have custom rom or stoke rom?
[Galaxy S II General] dnsdenis:
Hi,

can't you try to use orange I9100P firmware to get NFC enable ?
[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
Please share more info on your phone like the About phone screenshot. I never heard of Galaxy Roze. Do you mean Galaxy R (Royale)? I have one but it doesn't show NFC enabled like yours. Does your phone battery say NFC?
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
To get NFC working, head over to the I777 forums.

However - Google Wallet is not working yet (GW has a LOT of extra restrictions beyond just NFC - blame AT&T not Samsung for their stupid ISIS bull****) - most other NFC stuff is.

On the I777, all that's needed is a permissions XML added to /system and some smali edits in Settings.apk to enable the NFC settings.

https://github.com/Entropy512/hellraiser_i777/commit/7a6a0245be873e71462c7693472ac83510b06cb6 - you guys may only need /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml from there, along with possibly removing some removePreference() lines in the smali for Settings.apk (don't have the documentation on that with me at the moment)
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
It will probably fail on devices that have had the relevant permissions XML (need to look up the exact file tonight) removed.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
No - once you've got a running NFC service you can install various NFC apps from the Market.
[Galaxy S II General] robertafoster:
I ran the Z-Device app and it shows I have the NFC with a green check mark. Then under my running applications I see "NFC Service" and when I open it I see:

NFC version 2.3.7

Total 96.00B

Application 96.00B

Data 0.00B

Cache 0.00B

Under Permissions

Green check mark in Network Communications

Green Check Mark in System Tools

So why can't I download the Google Wallet App?

Do I have a working NFC chip?

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

When I go to the Android Market's Google Wallet it says not compatible with my AT&T Galaxy S II, but it will now allow me to install it. I assume that is because my phone's NFC is working because before I couldn't download it with my rooted phone. So apparently my NFC is working and that's why it will allow me to download it. If I do install Google Wallet will the app hurt my phone?

Sorry if I seem a little confused on this subject but I really don't know how I managed to even get the NFC working in the first place especially after Samsung Tech argued with me and told me I didn't have NFC on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] justsimple1:

Nice! Even better presentation than the official one released yesterday.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casey_boy:
I really like it. I've seen MS are getting some stick for it on some of the blog sites comments, but I think it's awesome.

I love the idea of the iPad - it's a touch friendly tablet. I don't like that it's a mobile OS.

So this ticks all the boxes:

1. It's a full powered OS

2. It can run properly on a tablet (with ARM support)

3. It's designed for touch - WP7 interface.

4. But it also has a "real" (i.e. Windows 7) interface as well, for those times you might want to put it on a desk and whack a keyboard and mouse with it.

Looks great and makes me thankful I didn't buy an iPad 2 or an Android tablet. Just wish it'd be out quicker lol.

Casey
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doejohn531:
Looks sweet. If they can tailor the "desktop" experience a little bit more towards touch I think I'll be sold on a tablet.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
From what I've been able to read so far since the unveiling, it sounds like Microsoft is going to push the new interface as the default, and the old Win7 interface only for legacy apps. In other words, they want the WP7-like tile interface to be the Windows standard on all devices - phones, tablets, notebooks, and desktop PCs. For example, it is being designed to work in both a touch and keyboard/mouse environment. And, they are going to push for new versions of major 3rd party apps to be written to use the new interface, and not work with the old.

Whether they will succeed remains to be seen, but based on my WP7 user experience over the past 6 months, I think it just might work. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schismal:
They definitely need a metro skin option for the desktop experience--if I'm using this new touch interface, I don't ever want to see the aero design clashing with it. Beyond that obvious gripe, I love it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I like it. Just wondering if homescreen will have wallpapers or Start screen is actual homescreen...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
It's too early to tell (much could change over the next year), but it looked like the Start screen is the home screen, at least in terms of it being the screen that will appear when you boot/log in to your PC. The current Windows 7 desktop will be more of an "app" that loads when needed.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
I think you can change which one it goes to by default. Almost positive but I will try to find a verification.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
Don't see how this pertains to windows "phone". As it totally looks like Media Center on crack. Laggy as hell, dont know if it was the video, or the person holding the camera. Jerk, jerk, jerk. Maybe I need to see another video.

I like the touch screen windows 7 by HP, with HPs touch friendly design on top, looked good and performs great.

Is this windows 8 or just the tablet OS?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
It is Windows 8. Although one obvious application for it will be tablets, it is going to be the same OS on tablets, laptops, and desktops.

Although this was an early build (given that the OS won't be released until next year), there was zero lag in the demo. Any problems you saw were the fault of the person recording the video. I've seen about 8 other videos, and they are all just as smooth as the WP7 start screen.

As far as this not pertaining to Windows Phone, on one hand I agree, but on the other, it pertains very much. After watching the videos a few more times, I think this could create quite a bit of interest in WP7, thanks to the nearly identical UI.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Think it's Windows 8 for all PC's. At the end they mention something to that end. Not sure how it'd work when most PC's don't have touch screens & those that do are mostly the wannabe Laptop, all-in-one PoS's that are way over priced compared to a normal desktop. Would be nice if they started mass producing regular monitor with touch screen including the ultra high end like the 30" that supports 2560 x 1600 resolution.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Watch this one (32mins)

http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-unveils-windows-8-to-world-video-hits-the-web

And Windows 8 and the tablet OS are one and the same. Its the same thing on tablets as it is on desktops, with slight variances on how it interacts based on the device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Does HP make a Windows 7 tablet?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] info[]box1:
I believe hp is committed to webos on all their toys. The only thing that holds me back from a tab is developing compatibility. I would love have a windows 8 tab as long as it has usb ports. Port for flashing a phone via executable file or using command prompts for rooting purposes. Then I would be able to give my kids my laptop. I haven't checked out the videos yet, but I will.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
Its not a tablet. Touch screen desktop.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
Ok, I just read that there will be an option to use the traditional desktop. So I'm satisfied.
[Hero CDMA General] oostah:
ist ok tho flash

S-OFF/nand Unlock Hero CDMA (hboot) - OP "regaw_leinad

then this

S-OFF/eng-spl Hero CDMA (fastboot) - OP "darchstar"

whats the best root option
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
That's what I did. But RUU may make odd things happen, a few users who did BOTH and then RUU'd lost s-off functions but still had s-off. So if you're going to do both just commit to never RUUing. If you want fastbooot commands you need darchs. Darchs is undone by RUU. If you are good with just HERCIMG.zips then regaws wil do, but will NOT be undone by RUU.
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
i know this is somewhat off topic.. but i love the title of this thread..

its like a feeling we all have at first.. we are a little embarrased after our first flash.. and ask ourselves "is it ok to flash??".. then we end up flashing everywhere and all of the time..

sorry oostah, i had to let that out..

[Hero CDMA General] Drunkpilot:
Oostah, I was sorry to read about your phone issues and I thought it was great how you didn't give up and got it solved.

The 1st time I went S-off, I only used Darch's Eng Spl. I RUU'd to try and solve my phones intermittent (Rom flashing) issues. So, I lost S-off obviously and used Regaw's to root and then decided to do Regaw's S-off (since I had the 1.47 bootloader now), then, I did Darch's as well even though I don't use fastboot commands often, but it's a nice option to have. I didn't know about the issues that Il Duce brought up (but he would know since he is so active on XDA). I know that there are many who have gone the same route to get S-off.

It has been a lifesaver for me when I lost my recovery some how. If you just want temporary s-off, you might just want to just do Darch's since Regaws is permanent at this point.

Good luck and Happy Flashing!
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
and to your original question, i only used darch's eng-spl, because i was wary of the same issues that il duce was mentioning (although i have no intentions of ruuing).. but i have read of others doing it that way and it works for them.. for me i only deal with the eng-spl, because if i ruu and reroot i dont mind reflashing it..
[Hero CDMA General] oostah:
very true thanks for the help and info.
[Hero CDMA General] oostah:
when i got it back to recovery and the bootloader. i should have flashed a radio before trying to flash the s-off. the s-off and radio didnt play nice to gether. 95% sure that i could have got it back. but i no how now to get it back if any one gets in that state. HTC is going to replace it. its only 9 months old and HTC have a 1yr warranty. my phone new one should here any time now.:)
[Hero CDMA General] oostah:
the more i think about it if was able to use fastboot commands i would have been up and running in no time.. thats way i was asking about doing both.
[Hero CDMA General] FdxRider:
Duce,pstevep,and oostah I had the same issues that Duce described but it was of no big concern ,because I'm on a different phone.But I've been trying to keep up with you guys over in the Mild_salsa thread and help.So before I got my new phone a I used regaws s-off and Darchs together ,evrything was groovy as they say.I when I get my new phone ,I unroot my hero and then I start to try to help with your mms issues over in the other thread.Lo and behold I can't flash any HECRIMG's from the bootloader,can't figure it out then I come upon this thread :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971550

Seems when I put my 2GB card back in my hero and re-formatted it I didn't notice that it was set to formatt at FAT not FAT32. So I take it out today and re-formatt to FAT32 and (How does that chef from LA. say BAAMM!) my bootloader now recognizes the HERCIMG.zip.(I just tested it again took out my card formatted it to FAT booted into bootloader and it didnot recognize the HERCIMG,took it out reformatted it in FAT32 and BAAMM! lol it recognized ther HERCIMG.)

So as I'm not a wordsmith like Duce and pstevep I'll leave the helpin and splainin to them as they do a momentus job round here helpin others along with TK,User ,Kuyoko and many others,anyone left out was not intentional.

oostah glad you won your battle although it may not have turned out like you wanted,but ultimately you will have a Hot little Hero in your hands :D

Peace guys :cool:

[Nook Color General] santosacm:
Hello,

Ok, first, the briefing:

I used verygreen´s Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards to run CM7 (installer 1.3 -> nightly 87 + gapps) on my nook. Works great. Kudos verygreen.

I tested 3 different SD cards to do so. Sadly, none of my Class 4 cards worked and only an old Class 2 2g Toshiba did the trick. Since I don´t intend to have a big fight with my wife about why I need to buy a 2nd. class 4 SD card this week, I am keeping the 2g Toshiba. (I know, I know, I should´ve bought a Sandisk Class 4 to begin with but they're a not easy to come by here in Brazil. At least, not a real Class 4).

And this is my problem:

The CM7 sees only 350 - 400 MB available in the "SD Card". That is hardly enough for HD games. Meanwhile, the "internal" memory has over 700 MB available.

What I'd like to do is:

Change the SD card partition to move some of the available space from the "internal" memory to the "SD card" on CM7.

Question:

Is it possible? How? Is it gonna mess up the CM7?

Alternatively, I was considering WobbleTheHutt method to swap SDcard and emmc. But, before I do it, I need to know if this method would affect the booting of the stock Nook. Does anyone knows?

Thnx.
[Nook Color General] santosacm:
I freaking did it!

I freaking did it! And it's running smoothly!:D

Ok! For those who want to give it a try.

First, I used Gnome Partition Editor for Windows to decrease the size of the EXT partition. Then, I used Minitool Partition Wizard Home edition to increase the FAT partition.

I actually created a image of my original SD card, just in case, but it was unnecessary since it didn't mess any of my data or apps. Still, as a security measure, I suggest who ever try this to also create a backup image of the original SD card.
[Nook Color General] therkr:
Hey! Nice idea.

I was looking for a method to backup my CM7(verygreen) SD card but I don't have a card reader with me currently.

Is is possible to backup complete SD card(all 4 CM7 partitions) using just the nook and windows??

P.S. I have Clockworkmod recovery installed onto emmc, if it's possible through that?

thanks. :)
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Why didn't you use GPE for both steps? I use it all the time and it works fine.
