I have a GT-I9100P with CM7 rom

nothing's added to wireless settings

maybe because CM is based on AOSP rom instead of samsung ROMs

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jammw:
You won't see NFC - I tried MIUI and installed the mod too but saw nothing under any of the system settings...I guess it has to be a samsung based rom...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
Hi Zappza,

How is your testing of NFC enabler with your NFC enabled battery?

Recently I just received my extended battery (2000mAh) from exportprive.com as well. But issue is that I'm running on CM9 nightly build, knowing that NFC enabler does not work with CM9 yet, I did not flash into my phone (I9100). But nevertheless, I took screenshots on my CM9 with NFC enabled battery inserted. Sorry to disappoint, under system connectivity settings, it does not show the NFC option nor Z-DeviceTest detects it. Refer to attachments.

Meantime I'll try reverting back to CM7 and try with the NFC enabler... ;)

I'm hoping for an ICS supported version. :D Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
Not that I know of any uninstaller for NFC enabler. You can reflash your ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] technolust109:
would the "Moneto" NFC SD Card work along with your od?im useing the cm9 rom so yehs, because the actual moneto app wont support i9100. i have a GT-i9100 from aus so would this work for me? as you said the hardware has to be in it like a sd card, or is there a specific sd card that will work?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
Doesn't work.

1. Revert back to CM7 (7.2.0 RC1) and flash NFC enabler - Does not show additional NFC option under "Wireless & network settings".

2. Flashed with SiyahKernel v2.6.14 and NFC enabler - Shows additional NFC option. But whenever I tab on it to enable NFC, the option will just grey out. :(

3. Am done with testing. Restored CM9 back.

Anywhere that I might have done wrongly or missed out? Else can I conclude that NFC-enabled battery is not the real deal, but could be really just

the NFC antenna like Azurren have suspected it to be?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] silverfox88:
I unistalled with DarkyOTA went on Unistall System Apps, and select NFC, then unistall button and restart,

Edit: i think the same process can be done with root explorer and remove the NFC file.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] phishfi:
For those of you using non-NFC, the NFC battery will not make your device NFC-enabled... The battery has 4 pins, and the non-NFC SGS2 only has 3 pins for the battery connection... That 4th pin probably has a lot to do with the phone's NFC hardware.

Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

(I have the M250S, so I get NFC anyways :P, just wish it worked with ICS for now).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djayyy:
All, thanks very much for the replies, i reflashed in the end, all back to normal. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
I just checked my original 1650mAh and 2000mAh (with "NFC") all with 4 pins, so does my phone.

I'm using GT-I9100 model.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultramag69:
I have a gt-i9100 with 4 battery pins too, still froze my phone but good.... Didn't seem to work...:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RedWave31:
Both models have the SAME amount of PINS.

They are virtually INDISTINGUISHABLE.

Only way to know is to have the ORIGINAL BATTERY with the NFC ANTENNA

(or the splash screen that says "GT-I9100P")

NFC-Patch for ICS :

Problem is, Samsung said that i9100P Rom would be for july 2012....

I believe previous patch was made comparing two roms, one with NFC and one without, and changing things.

Since ICS never saw NFC (Samsung-wise), i bet we can wait a bit...

Shame :-(

Note to any developer going here

NFC is KERNEL INDEPENDENT

I tested previous patch with various kernels, and it always worked.

Is it possible to extract NFC "framework" from Xperia S, or things like that?

PLEASE?

TYVM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidspwy:
waiting for the patch.any chance to get it? wanna upgrade to ics with nfc working :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] phishfi:
i would ask that we compare the nexus s or the galaxy nexus, since they are both Samsung devices with nfc. Especially if we can get this to work with google wallet as well.

My mistake, I have never seen the insides of the basic s2's. Mine isn't the i9100p either, it's the Korean variant, but so far I haven't had any issues running i9100/9100p roms on this version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RedWave31:
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

it worked on M250K after flashing CM9 with this addon,thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RedWave31:
URGH.

i9100 vs i9100P Identificiation

- THE ORIGINAL SHIPPED BATTERY is the ONLY WAY to know.

- To avoid high manufacturing costs, Samsung just removed the NFC Chip on original i9100, but let the same number of pins in all phones.

- THE ORIGINAL SHIPPED BATTERY is the ONLY WAY to know.

It HAS to have "Near Field Communication" written on it

[Galaxy S II Android Development] chrisboyle:
For those who are building from source, I've put a change on Gerrit to enable NFC in the same way as the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. It seems to work on my GT-I9100P (from Orange UK).

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/14571

Currently this will unconditionally add it to the build, but of course it will only work if you really have an NFC chip and appropriate battery, see earlier in this thread. So as I've said in Gerrit, it should really be conditional on the model somehow.

Thanks to Andrew Dodd for http://review.cyanogenmod.com/14470 which mine is based on.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] phishfi:
I have the m250k as well, but this did not work for me. At first I was on AOKP, but switched back to CM9 since this wasn't working for me on AOKP, but I still can't get this to work on CM9... This is my third rooted device, so I understand the instructions, but for some reason I can't find the NFC option under Settings > More... like the instructions are saying. Is there some trick to it?

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ----------

I would gladly do this, if I knew how. Can you explain a little further, or do you know of a link to some kind of walk-through?

Better yet, is there a way to turn this into a .zip installer for everyone?

NFC & Beam work fine with the i777 using CM9!

Had to wipe a couple of times, but it showed up! Going to try and implement into a Samsung ROM this weekend
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iXNyNe:
I have nfc working on my i777 with cm9 0413 nightly, I ended up flashing both the zip from the op and the zip red wave posted with the date in the filename. The one from the op caused force closing from the lock screen when used by itself, the dated zip didn't seem to do the trick enabling, but both together worked.

Also now that nfc is present my Bluetooth toggle in settings isn't visible. I can still turn it on and off with power control Widgets and stuff so Bluetooth works, but the Bluetooth menu is missing from settings.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rohan999:
I have the korean version on my sgs2 cuz on the battery it says "Made in Korea/Finished in China"......and HELL!, IT DOES NOT HAVE NFC!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ctomgee:
That does NOT make it the "korean version". If your model is "GT-I9100", it is the European/International version, and will NOT have NFC. The "korean version" is a different model number entirely.

The only I9100 model that has NFC built in is GT-I9100P.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
Is it possible to purchase a Galaxy S2 NFC chip and solder onto Galaxy S2 International version?

Sent from my bot crawling all over the web
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ctomgee:
Might be, but that would be a very tough undertaking. You'd need the schematics, the NFC chip, a battery with the NFC antenna, and the training and patience to do it.

Then again, maybe not... The mainboard of the i9100 (non P model) may not be fabbed to have a spot for the NFC chip to be soldered on.

But this is all just my own speculation. I'm guessing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
Thanks. But I will keep looking for solution, and post back if there's any.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ctomgee:
There are other solutions... There are NFC SD cards and SIM cards that are designed to put NFC on devices that don't have it. But they only work to varying degrees from what I hear. I don't know of specific ones off the top of my head. Google it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
Thanks. I do know about the NFC built in SD cards, but have limitations (I read on xda that only can be bought in bulks, not easily obtainable, lesser storage capacity or low card class, and its very expensive). SIM cards I'm not aware though, not sure if able to work compatibly with my local telco network... So excluding the SIM card option, its best to get NFC hardware and solder on method :D This way you still have an option to get better MicroSD card.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] phishfi:
Yea... good luck with that. I can guarantee you're chances are better if you get the nfc sim card or SD card, especially considering how much internal storage the thing has anyways. On another note, NFC doesn't matter much until we can get google wallet to work with our devices anyways.

If yes, then you're out of luck. Tried to contact him several times, he doesn't answer (and may have been banned since....)

A lot of ppl are having pbs because this patch obviously doesn't work with ICS.

The ICS patch is here around the 11th page.

Btw, there are a few files from a stock i9100p rom that i added in system, that helped NFC stay on after a few tag scans.

I usually had a nfc service stop after 5-6 scans...

DAMN, the button to add files went away? wtf... And i can't bold or link anything. Great....

Will try to come back when firefox will be fixed ^^

Files are:

- FTC.apk

- FTM.apk

- FTS.apk

I recommend getting them from a sammobile firwmare

I tried to fix Wifi-Direct with them, but ended having a better nfc........

BTW, i don't recommend resurrection remix, it's so unstable it went annoying after bugfixes were released 3hours after releases.... And on and on.....

For those wanting this on JB (self included) the way for this to work is going to be to pull the perms and libs when they make a Samsung release for an NFC S2.
