I just went to the android kitchen thread to see if there have been any updates to accommodate java 7 and the dev has closed the thread :eek:

Any one know how to get the kitchen to recognize java 7, it still is looking for java in the jre6 folder and that isn't there anymore. I have even done a fresh install of cygwin after installing java 7 and it still didn't automatically recognize the new version.

Hopefully dsixda doesn't take too long a break but I am sure it is well deserved, it is a priceless tool.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
You can have more than one version of java installed on your system you know. Java 7 isn't going to just magically improve anything for you really unless you're a developer.
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
True but didn't know if it was an fairly easy change to a script or something to get it to check/recognize the new location. Before it would let me get to the "building a rom from working folder" portion before it would give me a message about java, now it won't even start the kitchen saying it can't find java version.

I wouldn't consider myself a dev by any means but I build roms for my own use and to just try different things out to see how things work/change things, basically to learn what does what.

Between this issue and fact that I can't get pc to recognize my phone as a storage device anymore...I am lost.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Symlink java7 to the old location for java6.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Just to add to what adrynalyne said (since it's the easiest way), that would be using the "ln" command on linux/unix/cygwin or mklink on windows.
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Thanks for idea, tried mklink but in process realized I had x86 version of java6 and x64 of java7. So I tried just installing x86 version of java7 and opened up kitchen and was able to create output .zip from my current working folder

Now if I could just get pc to recognize phone properly... then maybe I think I will avoid updates of software for awhile.

Hey so i know our battery hardware supports it but when will it be utilised? By us or at&t idc. But i just want to know when or if i can use Google wallet. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Kernel supports it, don't know about the userland stack. The Market filters out all NFC apps for us so it's hard to test. Know of any simple NFC apps like TagWriter or TagInfo that have APKs available?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Here is nfc task launcher not sure wth it does

http://db.tt/byelHIgC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] redct:
I'm pretty sure there's an APK of Google Wallet floating around; maybe you could grab it and see if it authorizes you? Rumor has it that AT&T is disabling NFC until it rolls out its own NFC payment partnership called Isis.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There's more to it than that... something is missing somewhere in the framework. Not sure what yet. I tried pushing the following three files from an NS4G ROM to our device and nothing happened:

./system/framework/com.android.nfc_extras.jar
./system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml
./system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.nfc_extras.xml

Oh, I forgot

/system/app/NfcGoogle.apk

Gonna try that...

Nope, still nothing. From what I can tell, there should be some NFC settings in Wireless and Networks, and also there should be an NFC service running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KayDat:
I ran some experiments with Korean firmware on an international i9100 with NFC battery, maybe someone can try the same with with AT&T model? More info in the Korean i1900 thread.

BTW, it didn't work =[ Maybe I'll experiment with AT&T kernel and ROM instead?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Oh, this is interesting - after pushing the above stuff to my system and rebooting, NFC Task Launcher prompted me and said, "NFC is disabled, OK to enable?".

That didn't happen before.

But nothing else happens.

Edit: At least not at the app level - but if I tap an NFC tag to my device I see stuff in logcat! I don't know if that happened without the above files, I'll try tomorrow. Not attaching the logcat as the tag in question is my Citi PayPass card...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KayDat:
Do you have NFC settings under Wireless and network settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
No, at least not on my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KayDat:
It's interesting that the phone reacted to NFC without it "enabled" though. Where can I grab those Nexus S files from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
So does pushing those files enable NFC in the wireless networks menu? Or is that from the nexus s?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mpazevedo:
AT&T has left the NFC off till they get ISIS up and running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KayDat:
NFC settings pic was from my international I9100 when I flashed on Korean M250S/K firmware. Someone with an AT&T SGS2 should try as well, and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netchip:
Maybe it is hooked in the framework.jar xD

I have experience with roms, and that things are done in framework.jar etc.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KayDat:
Well I tried your "Unbrick" ROM and kernel, Entropy, and no real luck getting NFC to work on my phone. Twas quite flaky once I loaded on the AT&T kernel; centre home button and back capacitive button were both temperamental. The back button was rerouted as home button, and home button would do nothing, but then randomly load up the Recent Apps window.

Even tried running AT&T kernel with M250S firmware, but then the phone was even more flaky with that combo; would randomly shut down, and the home and back buttons stopped working altogether. Was a real pain having to reset the phone everyone I navigated into a menu, and couldn't get back out :p

Would be interested in seeing if your phone reads NFC tags without those SN4G files on your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, it doesn't enable it in the wireless networks menu, HOWEVER it seems like apps like the one jivy26 posted above can enable it themselves in a kind of "stealth mode" - however it's not fully working. After pushing the above files, what I seem to have is:

The app jivy26 posted now posts a prompt to turn on NFC, and seems to do so, even though it can't be toggled in Settings

The app doesn't seem to do anything else

In videos I've seen, you usually should see notifications when an NFC detection occurs. You don't in this case

However, if you run a logcat, you can see that there is NFC stuff going on when you tap an NFC device to the phone. I'm going to try and find a more "generic" NFC tag to play with so I can post logcats. You can all understand why I'm NOT going to post logcats from my NFC-enabled credit card. ;)

As far as which files I used - I pulled them from the "full CM7 download" link at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270118

Um, yeah, if you'd bothered to read this thread you'd know that we know that. We're trying to see if we can enable it ourselves without AT&T's help, XDA-style.

If you are on an I9100, I'm 95% positive you will never get NFC to work. It's not just the battery that's needed I'm fairly certain.

I know that if you run I777 kernels on an I9100, it'll have funky behavior with the bottom keys. Same problem happens for I9100 kernels on the I777.

If I'm reading your posts correctly, the M250S does have NFC hardware AND NFC enabled in the firmware. Looks like I need to go pick apart one of their system dumps. :)

I have a bunch of other stuff I need to do first though (see short-term features list in my Daily Driver kernel thread).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KayDat:
Yeah, NFC is working on M250S and M250K models. Go check out the Korean SGS2 thread, that's how I found out that they have NFC. I think the confusion arises from the fact there are three Korean SGS2 models: S, K and L. Just like how in the US there are different models for different carriers, the same is in Korea. S and K are basically the same, but L is CDMA. S and K models have NFC, while L doesn't, since their NFC payment is tied to the uSIM, which L models don't have.

Sadface for no NFC on I9100...here's hoping something like this eventuates.

Interesting though, that's the Korean SGS2, which already have NFC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netchip:

A development tread about NFC has takin place. Hmm this might turn out fairly quick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It may prove quicker for Cyanogenmod than for stock-derived firmwares, due to framework differences.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
Found this in system/app. Install did nothing lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Interesting tidbit - that includes a widget for turning NFC on/off. The widget works with the files I pushed to the device earlier.

However as far as I can tell, it seems that the lower stacks see my card, but then are like "I don't know what to do with this ****".

Found what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
Sorry i guess xda never uploaded a pic from my phone. (facepalm)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DigitalFx2k2:
if you read the manual for samsung galaxy s2 on samsung.com it says NFC is temporarily disabled until a future firmware update.

its under the nfc section, cuz i was curious about this on day one and i was like wow. also the same thing with fm radio, there is no mention about it on the manual. but ive heard on another board there is fm chip in the gs2. att

Default... would it be possible to pull the needed files off there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Possibly... The main problem right now is no real debugging capability. I was sick for a long time so I still don't have a good "test tag" that I can post logcats of.

If it helps, what files do you need from the Tmobile phone to test? I'll be rooting it in the beg few days it sounds like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Actually, I don't think I need any - I have one of the initial system dumps of a Tmo phone due to efforts to help root it. Will look.

The problem is, likely the stuff we're missing is deeply integrated into the frameworks, and MUCH harder to shoehorn in than the stuff we've already found.

The big issue is being able to share logcats - which I can't do when my only NFC tag is my credit card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Had some VERY promising progress... Thanks to some tips from Mikey on reenabling "disabled" settings entries, I seem to have gotten NFC working - to the point where NFC TagInfo is downloadable from the Market and reads my credit card and employee ID.

More info once I have time to clean things up - it's really flaky, it kinda randomly decided not to work for a while...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
Awesome entropy! You have done much in dev for the SGS II. Thank you mate! How soon do you think roms will have this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] orezinlv:
I just wanted to say thank you in advance, I got the phone 2 days after it came out, partially for this functionality, should have known AT&T had some dirty tricks up its sleeve, you made my night for giving me hope!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I may be releasing a Hellraiser update with most of the bits tonight. I'll also chat with gtg, h8rift, and Mikey.

In addition to a bunch of low-level bits, Settings.apk needs a smali mod - this one's ROM-specific so can't be put into Hellraiser.

Bad news is that while I have most NFC functions seemingly working (NFC TagInfo works great), Google Wallet could prove more elusive - it was VERY difficult to get it to stop FCing, and even when I did, it just hung at "Initializing your device" forever. Pulling stuff from the leaks MIGHT help, unsure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Looks like the ONLY file needed is:

/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml

And a hack to Settings.apk (More on this soon, I swear. I HATE documenting smali...)

The nfc_extras files appear to be Wallet-related.

Also, NfcGoogle.apk is the same package as Nfc.apk - so installing it WILL cause conflicts and weird behavior! (I'm going to look into what happens if I get Google's NFC package along with their JNI libs - this might work. NfcGoogle.apk + our stock NFC JNI libs = BAD.)

With a LOT of hacking I did once manage to get Wallet to start and not FC - but it sat at "Initializing your device" for 20+ minutes.

Google employees are dumb, so he wouldn't fit in. when my employer gave them a contract, Google sent a bunch of employers over to help us. It takes 3 of them to solve anything because all 3 will either be confused or will give you the wrong answer. One of our employees doesn't know much about computers and what the Google employee was telling her in a one-to-one season didn't sound right, so she just started tuning him out. Later that day, the Google employee came back and told her to forget everything he taught her because it was all wrong...lol

By the way, we went back to Groupwise since the Google apps didn't do what Google promised, and they couldn't figure out how to implement it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That's not typical... Google engineers are usually the cream of the crop.

However, I'm a hardware guy, this is fixing AT&T/Samsung breakage that Google had no involvement in, and I am NEVER living in Silicon Valley - too damn expensive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
Well, this is great. Take your time to get this right. I'm just happy to know for sure that we have a working NFC chip in our phones.

Excited to hear that. Waiting for the NFC working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
Is there an NFC app that literally spits out the raw output of the NFC chip? I'd like to be able to see if some of my cards are readable, but just use a different protocol, such that the mainstream NFC apps don't show anything when I try to read them.

Most roms have it incorporated one way or another already so yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:

What fails?

Probably an issue with the ROMs build.prop no longer looking like an A500 or maybe the library file has the patched version.

Can you run an md5sum on /system/lib/libnvomx.so?

Also, if you can send me the build prop I make figure out why it fails.
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
The version in the first post had a partially implemented color change to Black. I will try to complete that tonight and repost.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
Could be the ROM is based on previous version, and not the 3.2 update.

3.2 is when the build.prop edit worked without the libnvomx.so

EDIT:

Oh, that is for the transformer. I thought stock worked on Transformer after the latest update.

Edit 2: I see now. It is for the A500, ported from a Transformer ROM. V5 is based on the 3.2 update.

Paste the build.prop as suggested before. and the checksum on the lib
[Acer Iconia A500] whatsitsnamenow:
You guys are correct. The build.prop recognizes it as a Transformer EPAD. So I went ahead and download a Netflix patch from the Transformer forum and it worked. Thanks.

I can still post my build.prop when I get home later if you like. I have no idea what is checksum lib or how to post it. :o
[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
lol, you have answered the question.

The patch from the transformer thread replaces a shared library in system/lib

"libnvomx.so"

md5sum on /system/lib/libnvomx.so means to check the md5sum (bunch o' numbers) to see if you had the patch file or the original file

"MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) 128-bit cryptographic hash. MD5 hashes used properly can confirm both file integrity and authenticity. "

We can ascertain that you HAD the original file, thus causing your errors. With the patch (new libnvomx.so) Netflix works.

It wonder if you changed your build.prop to that of the Iconia, and tried the modded Netlfix without the patch... would it work? Hmm...
[Acer Iconia A500] whatsitsnamenow:
I still can. I kept a copy of the build.prop just in case. Lol

[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
Undo the patch (the patch automatically made a backup of the original libnvomx.so file), and uninstall old Netflix.

Install the Netflix mod apk

It is designed to work without the patch. (It will work with it I guess, but broken camera and all that...)

Edit: Edited stuff :P
