I had it working for a few, it loaded and did initializing and then a black screen...then I wasn't able to make it work after that. Try to get others to help and maybe we can get it fully working.

Download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PJ1EZZE0 and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7661407/Nfc_new.apk

To install it, do this;

Copy of the Nfc_new.apk to your sdcard along with my version 1.1-r38v4 updater

Reboot recovery

wipe data/factory reset

install my updater.zip

using adb shell, copy Nfc_new.apk to /system/app/Nfc.apk

reboot

I was working with nauckwj from the Nexus S forum, but he's been busy last few days and I haven't been able to make more advancements. Also my SGS2 seems to have gone retarded, since it won't accept anything I push to it via ADB :/

Let me know if this works for you, like I said it started working for me...then it FC and after I rebooted all I got was a black screen...then I tried it all over and haven't been able to make it work since.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xSunny:
This would be awesome.. I would love to test.. Ima try this see what happens..

Damn do you have to wipe data/factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Won't work on anything but 2.3.7. You could probably make some changes in the build.prop but there's some framework stuff that would keep it from working right.

Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0mie:
He said would work on anything 2.3.4 and up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xSunny:
Tryed doing what you said without a full wipe just cache and delvik to see if it work but didnt so yeah maybe next time i flash a rom ill do that..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] no6969el:
This is great news, please keep up the work as im sure alot of people would appreciate this greatly!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0mie:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0mie:
still messing with it, I got the app to open and start initializing...but nothing after that :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
Dang, has it ever wokred for u? I really want this feature lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I had it working, kind of, it launches every time, asks to turn on nfc, so i do and then it says that its a release-key missmatch and then says to contact google, click ok and it closes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
guess ill never work :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
because we need 2.3.7?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
according to the market we should be able to use 2.3.3

i'm trying something right now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0mie:
I had this same thing, but I got rid of that mismatch thing once...then it started to initialize and took ages, then just FC and after I rebooted I just got a black screen. Then I wasn't able to get it working again after that :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] amehdi43:
I am working on porting CM7 to this device, or Kush-Deck, both 2.3.7... maybe we can try on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
i have a feeling we lack framework required.

i could not get NFC to work at all using the lib's in the zip you linked to, and the NFC apk fc's so i kept the oens made for our device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billydroid:
Cool, hows that going?

i'm definitely hoping for this to work soon. any progress?

Will this work on CM7 since it is 2.3.7?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
i think someone was gonna try on CM7. just curious does anyone have it working on the sprint version of sg2 or is it just the nexus s?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
I just tried it on CM7 from the dev forum, and installing this causes NFC to disappear from the Wireless & network settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Do not use the nfc apk or libs, just use the permissions and the wallet apk. the libs and nfc apk will break the nfc on our device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
any luck mr.x?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
ill be happy to donate if u can get this working :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] no6969el:
the download link no longer works, the dropbox one is working as of the time of this typing.

I tried installing the one for the galaxy nexus, it doesnt work hehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
any updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
yeah would be really if they can get it working on the T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
Agreed...I'd love to see this working. I'm using CM7 on my gs2 and I'd love to make this work. I have it on my nexus s and it's fantastic! It'd be great to get it on my daily driver...

Unfortunately, even if it does work, it would appear that my nfc isn't working in the cm7 build for the galaxy s2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
I don't understand why make it so hard for someone to get, if a phone has NFC it should be able to work with just a download in the Market IMO.

I hope someone gets it working for our phone.

Powered by the SGSII....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
Is it that hard to believe? It's a program that manages your credit card info. It needs to be very secure. It's not like Google maps where they can just publish it and it works on everything.

The devices that support google wallet need to be able to sufficiently protect your personal information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Word. won't be long before someone comes out with an app that allows you to intercept nfc communications. i want Google wallet as bad as the rest of you, but having a secure program trumps an insecure one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
As an aside, I love using it on my nexus because it blows people's minds at checkout.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
ya sux we have to wait for isis

http://news.paywithisis.com/

says feb. they have something going on,hopefully its to annouce and release their product.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] btyork:
they have tons of apps that read nfc communications... The fact that it is so short range makes it impossible to "intercept"

Sent from the Galaxy, 2 stars to the left.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
I don't think POS is their issue. I would imagine it has to do with the sending and receiving of sensitive information, which is especially sensitive on rooted phones.

And saying it's 'impossible' is just asking to be proven wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
They got it working on verizon GN lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unfaix:
Kind of suck give that this phone had been out for quite awhile now, and the galaxy nexus was just release yesterday.

All I want is being able t pay with my phone, but that's not happening.

I have to resort to putting my credit card under the battery cover and wave it over the paypass. haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
lol. i think it was available on the HSPA version of GN? maybe thats y they were able to port it over so quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
come on ISIS!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
FYI, to save anyone the trouble, I tried installing the no-root APK install of Google Wallet from the Galaxy Nexus that adds it to the Verizon GN.

Starts okay, but as soon as NFC is turned on, it force closes on startup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
Ok, the biggest reason to get this working is that we'll get $10 free from google if you have google wallet installed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thenepenthes:
i renamed the build model to Nexus S and installed the apk and now the app is recognizing as a nexus s.

but still getting the black screen when i turn on the NFC.

thought i had it.. damn

i think nfc.apk needs to be edited in someway
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
The nfc setup on each phone will have to be hardware specific
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
So close but so far *sigh* lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sc0rp1n0x:
So, does this mean that the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 has an NFC chip installed and it works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billydroid:
Yes, it has nfc. But wallet doesn't work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
Maybe we need the nfcextras.apk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
^anyone try that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tpreludesh:
I can get the app to load up and stay on, but then it asks to turn on nfc under wireless settings. once I do it causes it to force close leading me to believe google wallet is not compatible with our nfc chip. Any thoughts?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] myunitisz:
i think its the same nfc chip in the galaxy nexus. both integrated into the battery

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Markmaryland:
No go. Well I tried :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajordanxda:
Agreed, but secure transaction technology, especially the open source / personal computing / internet driven kind, is very easy to come by and uses very standardized encryption. I think by and large the encryption used on every day websites, SSL'd mobile connections, or on-disk encryption is of a higher caliber than your average credit card reader, but Visa/MC/Amex et al secure their devices through obscurity.

Not that such pontificating helps us get any closer to having Wallet on our GSIIs, so I too pledge the $10 I'd get from Wallet sign up to the cause.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bwinger79:
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Face Unlock feature requires Android 4.x framework to function. This is why spoofing the device to install the application did not work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
So, checked the skyrocket forum, and Sean's ICS ROM says it doesn't have GW... Anyone here want to try and get it working from there?

Maybe with ICS, tmo sgs2 patch, and paired GW/NFCextras.apk it will work.

EDIT: except the ROM doesn't seem to be ACTUAL ICS, now that I got to a computer and looked at it at a decent time of day..

DOUBLE EDIT: Looked into patches for installing GW, and the one from here installs, runs, and doesn't FC, but reports an error and asks you to close the program. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1376482

So, is this SecureElement a hardware issue or software issue? As in, with sufficient programming and time could this be added, or would an SE SIM be required for our phones?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
Here is a screenshot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RotaryXperiment7:
fail :(

guess we getting closer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
Looked into it more. Secure element is dedicated memory with special permissions and encryption. So, unless someone can parse how the software interacts with it and build software emulation of the SecureElement we can't get GW without an sd card or Sim with SE.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
Sorry, forgot to add it, but in my post before I said that's only IF we don't have SecureElement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Why are you guys pushing it so much. I know its uses and benefits. Cant you wait for official?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] myunitisz:
There's not going to be an official because tmobile att and verizon have a partnership with a different companies called Isis. Google wallet is only official for sprint phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Really? So even when ics rolls out we wont get something similar. I mean, we have nfc capabilities so why wouldnt they?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] myunitisz:
I don't see anything coming out from the 3 companies soon. Google wallet the closets thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cavemaneca:
Give me a couple days and I'll do it this weekend. Otherwise someone else who doesn't depend in their T989 can try it. I doubt it will work, since I think the only "ICS" ROM that the skyrocket has is just a ice cream flavored gingerbread.

Has anyone tried baksmaling the app and removing the code that throws the Secure Element warning?

I don't think there will be any way to make the phone appear to GW to be equipped with Secure Element, we have to remove the check for it from the app's code. Hopefully there's no libraries in this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] armoguy94:
Dude, it doesn't matter. The app doesn't require a secure element for no reason. It USES the secure element to store all the credit card and other sensitive information onto your device. It. Will. Not. Work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chippillie:
From what I have read about the secure element isn't that there isnt one on our phone or all phones with nfc. States that secure element is a chip or series of chips in a phone. Verizion and Google seem to make it seem like it is only on the nexus there fight has been who controls the element since its Google's phone they already know the codes for it regardless of who makes the phone. Seems to me that Google doesn't have access to it for Google wallet like they do for the nexus line. Since most of the carriers want to control the element them selfs it has been said that one can be added to sim cards or even a sd card not that most NFC phones lack it or the ability to use it. These options mainly come from Google not giving control of the element to Verizon for isis. Hope that clears up alittle of the secure element issues no matter we don't have access to it and right now only Samsung knows if its able to do it without a sd or sim.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] armoguy94:
It is known that we don't have a secure element chip embedded in our phone. You are spreading misinformation. The carriers behind ISIS want the secure element to be embedded in a SIM card, like you said... they don't want it to be embedded in the phone itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chippillie:
Funny because the galaxy nexus on Verizon is said not to have one but it does read and stop trolling almost every phone in the world with nfc has secure element built in! End off discussion! Just because we don't have the codes to access it doesn't mean its not there and t mobile wants Isis so there not going to give us that info. You need people need to grow up! It is why this phone has so few devs. Came from sprint and on every phone they have has more devs even before its out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
Oh, could you please link to your source?

People have been saying that we don't have a secure element forever now, and as far as I can tell, it's all based on rumor and hearsay.

If you don't have a source, you're just spreading misinformation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wilsonium:
Mane is correct. Our phone DOES NOT have a secure element. The T989 otherwise has all the other parts of a functional NFC system. The secure element is only a sandboxed and encrypted storage space for sensitive information like your virtual credit card. This sandbox only allows trusted applications to talk to it.

There are several challenges with NFC mobile payments in the USA. The two biggest that I can see are lack of prevailing standards and the NIMBY attitude of the carriers who want their own solution, in this case ISIS. While there is room for multiple NFC transaction solutions, I really hope they all stop bickering and let us choose the mobile solution we want before Apple comes aboard and defines the standard for us.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adicuigrec:
Hi,

After I bought my galaxy s 2 in june, I tried a lot of different roms, from stock to exynos extreme, lite'ning rom...and so on. About a month ago I went back to stock installing xxki3. Today I wanted to install a custom rom, galnetMIUI, but I couldnt. I get a continuous bootloop. I tried Exynos 5.7, 7.2, lite'ning rom 6.1, THE SAME THING. BOOT LOOP. I tried even another stock rom KG1 but with this one it says " unable to mount /cache, / efs...etc"

AFTER I FLASHED BACK TO XXKI3 AND IT WORKS. What the hell? From now one this is the only one I can use?
