2 ways

"or do the tags just emit a unique string (or sequence) that is read by the phone which then executes pre-programmed code associated with that unique string?"

- Sony's SmartTag app and the "nfc retag" app do it this way.

- Other (the most) apps store the command on the tag.

Both "systems" have pros and cons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeydubs:
I'm waiting for my tags to come in the mail soon. A few of my uses so far are:

-Switch tag to enable/disable the phone lock screen and leave it by the front door. Launch my 'out and about' profile, or my home profile. (wifi on or off, gps on or off etc)

-Tag on my gym bag or water bottle to launch my music, silence notifications, launch workout trainer app.

-Tag on my dock to turn on the clock app, launch screen filter, and load my night time profile (sounds, silence notifications, sync & 4g/wifi disabled).

-Tag to turn on my car profile (bluetooth, gps, increase notification volumes, launch torque app and maps app).

-Switch tag to give others access to my wifi network near my front door since I have a long and random password.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theraptscallion:
In CM10, the profiles can be written to an NFC tag. I use these for everything. In the car, my profile sets rings, volumes, turns on gps/bluetooth and turns off wifi. It also disables the lockscreen.

Nightstand dims the screen, turns off the lockscreen, and disables sync and sounds other than alarms.

Home (on the front door, literally) enables wifi, disables gps/bluetooth and makes the volume hearable but not too loud.

All of the CM10 profile tags are toggles, so tap once to enable, tap a second time to return to where you were. The one in my cupholder of my car is by far the most useful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
I just realized I never posted a couple of the uses I came up with:

Stuck a tag to an inconspicuous spot on my desk that opens an FTP server for file transfers. This works great for transferring pictures or smaller stuff without having to track down a cord and whatnot. I just swipe my phone over that tag, 2 clicks on my PC to open Filezilla which autoconnects to my phone and I'm done. ES File Explorer has a built in FTP server with a shortcut activity that launches it with no additional interaction.

Stuck a tag to the inside of my wallet with my contact card on it. This one is fun. Whenever someone asks for my number or email and pulls out their phone, if I notice it's an Android phone I ask if their phone as NFC. If they don't know what that is, I ask for their phone 'to show them something cool', make sure NFC is present/enabled and swipe their phone over my wallet and hand it back to them with all my contact information. Reactions are great when I get lucky enough to use this. Noobs are like, "Did you just hack my phone?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywoodfrodo:
Hey there - another place to check out for tags is www.andytags.com - it's my store. Android themed tags. Have lots of demo videos, recommended apps list, and ideas for uses.

What I use mine for....

Have a switch tag on my nightstand - tap at night to lower volumes, lower brightness on screen, and open alarm app to set alarm. tap again in the morning to turn up volume levels, turn on auto-brightness and launch Amazon App stored (so I can see the free app for the day).

Have a tag on my car dock that opens my voice app (AVX - which has nfc integration) and turns on bluetooth and launches a car mode scene.

Have a tag on the visor of my car that if I tap it sends a text message to my spouse: "On my way home."

Have a tag on my bluetooth media receiver that's hooked up to my home theater - if I tap it, it turns my bluetooth on and connects to the receiver.

those are a few things I've used them for. The possibilities are endless, especially when paired with Tasker as some have already mentioned.

Anyway, there are lots of places to get nfc tags - I started my store because I wanted tags that looked cool so I designed my own - check 'em out if you're interested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:

Identive nfc tags!

Hi guys,

There are obviously plenty of use cases for NFC tag (wiFi, Bluetooth, Vcard, Vcalendar, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare...) and I have to admit I havn't go through all of your post. But I personnaly used them for two reasons, first one is a social networking campaign for my restaurant and second one is more personal with wifi and alarm clock at home and bluetooth in my car.

I've used

identivenfc

tags ordering on their websote. They have quite a lot of cool and nice design (twitter, facebook, 4sq, pinterest, instagram etc...) and you can have all of NFC forum tag type.

Then for the app it depends on what you want but samesung tectiles and anytag are as far as i'm concerned the best for tag encoding!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhemi4x4:
tag size (data)

The smaller ones are cheaper, but how much data is getting stored on these things? What would be the minimum size I may want to go with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balounfc:
well I might not be the best to answer that question. But memory size depend on what you want to do with it.

For example, if you want to put a URL or Social Media link, any NFC tags should have enough memory, since URL is quite light in terms of bytes.

If you want to have some app launching, or wifi connection or cell phone settings etc, should be enough as well.

In my opinion, only problem is when you want to implement a businsess card or a multi tasking tags...then you really have to be careful about memory.

And topaz looks like the best in terms of quality/price rate.

Here you have some nice info http://xdaforums.com/wiki/NFC_Tags
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhemi4x4:
After reading a bit on em, I went with these guys. I think they will do what I need.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
Isn't it annoying to have to tap the phone to the NFC tags though? I feel like it would be better if bluetooth was used instead of NFC for this functionality so that you could just be in the location and not have to physically tap your phone for it to trigger all the settings you want. Thanks if you agree.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
in some cases that would be cool. i can see the reasoning, but another [small] annoying issue is that the phone has to be on and unlocked to read the tags. in any case, i've been using tags a lot to just set volumes and other system settings between home, bed, and work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
Actually, you should read this post so you can have NFC enabled without having to turn the screen on:

I just got mine in, and so far all I have is one on my headboard that I tap that will turn on my ringer, and open Google Currents so I can catch up on the world every morning!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lanternca:
Has anyone found a way to send a google talk message (not just start the conversation). My wife and I use google talk instead of texting. Everyday I gchat her "I'm on my way home". would love to NFC tag that.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywoodfrodo:
Well, it isn't easy, but it is possible. You would need Tasker on your phone and then a way to launch a Tasker task via an NFC Tag. I recommend Tasker URL Launcher, but you can also use other NFC apps such as Re-Tag and NFC Task Launcher to launch a Tasker Task.

Then you just have to create the Tasker task that sends the Google Talk Message. That's the complicated part. I found this explanation on how to do it online: http://tasker.wikidot.com/sendim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h00ch:
I thought of a cool NFC tag idea that I haven't seen anyone mention yet. I have a tag programmed as a switch to turn Bluetooth on/off in my car (like most other people) but I have it stuck to the bottom of my seat belt latch plate. I usually keep my phone in my front-right pocket, so when I put my seat belt on, it's passed over my phone as I buckle up and turns Bluetooth on, then when I remove my seat belt, my Bluetooth is turned off. (As a side effect, it also promotes safe driving habits) LOL :D

(I have CM10 installed on my phone with a modified NFC apk that works with the screen off)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Business card tags! Instead of handing out cards, attach one of these stickers to the back of your existing cards and have clients tap their phone to get your info. These have 4K of memory which is enough to hold all of your contact info plus a small photo or logo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheLandYacht:
Yeah, Tasker's great for what it does. You can simply put something on the order of "You are here" on the tag, and stack ALL KINDS of tasks to respond to that "you are here" tag (Tasker calls this "Context").

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
So I noticed this first when I ws running CM10 Alpha 5.2. The phone will not vibrate at all when I get texts. I made sure I have the box checked and it's even set to normal, but still nothing. So I switched to the new Paranoid Android rom tonight hoping it might fix it but still nothing. My phone can vibrate on the keyboard and everything else, but not when I get texts. Is there something I'm overlooking?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I know you said you checked the box but did you check Settings>sound>vibration intensity and make sure the slider for notifications is up?

This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone.

For more information about PARANOIDANDROID please check this website
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Tips and Tricks

Go to Settings\Performance and enable 16bit transparency

FROYO KERNEL - Change the Overclock values to 300@20\700@42\1000@54 for better battery life and vsel2 usage.

[*}All Kernels - Select "Use Default Values" in oc config to use my values for all governors

Restart the system once you're done changing values (dpi, layout, etc) in Paranoid Preferences to prevent glitches.

System App "Bugs" -- Valid for any CM10 Rom and CM9 for Apollo

If the AOSP keyboard keeps taking preference and you don't want it to, delete LatinIME.apk & LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk or rename to *.apk.bak

If Apollo intercepts your long press volume track change or the lockscreen music widget doesn't work correctly, delete or rename Apollo.apk

This rom includes (and always will) a 30 step volume mod, if it messes with your player then uncheck "Direct Volume Control" or the appropriate setting in your music app. I'm an audiophile and prefer the 30 step mod over the default 15.

Updating the Rom

For Dirty Upgraders (non-Factory Reset install) all you have to do is flash the rom -- no dalvik or cache wipe is required -- they're built in.

This rom includes GooManager and it will let you know if a new version of ParanoidAndroid available.

The roms in Rom Manager are from Quarx's server. I'll be removing this in later versions of PA.

I recommend a full factory reset when installing new versions; but I do that with every rom I flash.:p

Use GooManager to update this rom -- It'll automatically reboot into recovery, wipe what you selected it to, flash the rom, and flash gapps. The only thing you have to do when updating is say yes to wipe dalvik cache and reboot. :)

Bugs

Settings>Storage has the SDCard listed as Internal Memory

Settings>Dev Options>Force GPU Rendering -- can cause the Status Bar to not appear

Settings>Display>Enable On-Screen Buttons -- does nothing, use Settings>System>Navigation Bar instead

Settings>Display>Change Height -- doesn't work with Navigation Bar (see the above bug)

problem with viber and other apps, it says that it's not compatible with my smartphone.

i cleared cache e data in playstore,and reset settings from paranoid settings

and deleted data from google service framework.

rebooted and the apps still not compatible,

can anyone can resove this problem? i have to install viber from APK to make it to work,but it's annoying
[Defy Android Development] Snikeer:
I had this problem for quite sometime on several roms, and I've found the solution just yesterday.

The problem on the Play Store is because your LCD Density change. I'm not sure on how you have configured your phone, but what worked for me was to keep my build.prop with lcd density of 240 dpi, and then make changes by app using Paranoid Settings.
[Defy Android Development] molesarecoming:
thats right. (-:

pa does not change build.prop or system dpi at all. systems running always in default dpi. we are strongly against touching build.prop, makes simply no sense. if everythings configured right the market should be fine in whatever dpi you drop it via PA panel.

i heard from a dev that missing vendor files can cause problems, it was recently the issue on the s3. when that was cleared their market started to download happily again. gokussjx was the one that solved it. if vendor files are fine the problem is most likely on the side of the user, maybe he really changed build.prop or did something else to it.

i have mine set to tabUI btw and 200 dpi. normal for my phone is phoneUI and 320. not one issue. (-;
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
That was an accident. I thought they were tested but I flashed the zip I had without them. Didn't realize until I was in bed that they caused bootloops.

Is there a recommended fix? Or is it a try them all and use the one the works best?

Its already been said, but I'll repeat it -- Change the dpi back to stock in the build.prop (240) and use all the settings in PA to change the dpi without breaking market functionality.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll be releasing a patch later today to address the init scripts & the build version. Its still officially 1.992, only the build script sets the values to 2.00 so that's why we labeled the threads as such. I'm going to fix the roms on goo.im to reflect the same changes to minimize issues with GooManager and not have to use the patch I'll eventually release today -- I have to pick up my Dad from the hospital later today and I'll do more than post in the forums until then.
[Defy Android Development] nziria:
resolved setting UI to stock Hybrid OFF and cleared cache and data from play store and google framework.

i want gmail tablet ui style.how can i set paranoid settings?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Go to Settings -- Paranoid Settins -- Apps -- Gmail

Set the layout higher than the 360px default. You'll probably want to lower your dpi for Gmail as well -- I like 160 - 180 myself.

My Gmail is on 160dpi and 720px layout.

I should have added in the first post -- If you were using the old Defy PA, you should factory reset before switching to my PA -- it has a completely different framework with more changes and merges from both PA and Quarx.

[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
Please be aware that if you delete LatinIME.apk from system you'll loose vibration for the buttons ("Vibrate on touch" on Sound). You'll be better by moving the app to /data. I just did that and it's working fine.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Glad you notice that, I didn't. Another good reason to move it or delete it is its one of the largest apps on /system.

Quick question -- has anyone tried symlinking a /data directory to /system? I'm thinking something like "ln -s /data/system/app /system/app" should do the trick. If you don't know, what that'll do is if you were to drop an app into /data/system/app the system would see it in /system/app allowing you to have more /system partition space.

I started on a PA compile yesterday but I'm having errors with libhardware_legacy (on Quarx's repo) so I changed to upstream and got a whole new set of errors. I still have a few more things I'd like to try before I ask for help -- I'm also doing PA/CM7 as a learning tool.

If anyone can help, here's the error I"m getting
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
I'm not sure, but if u symlink system/app with data/app , all the content of system/app will be data/app. If this is true, all the system app must be moved to data/app

Ideally I shud have got the same error while cm10 compiling as the same repo is used for both, but I didn't get this error in yesterday's compile. :confused:

U r using this, right?

<project path="hardware/libhardware_legacy" name="Quarx2k/android_hardware_libhardware_legacy" revision="jb_audio_test" />
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I think you misunderstood what I was meaning. Make a new folder under the data partition and symlink that to /system/app -- that way you could place system apps under the new /data/system/app directory and they'll seen by the system under /system/app. With /system being 350mb and /data being around a gig, system apps that are huge could be moved off the partition to save space for mods and whatnot while not having to remove apps or move sys apps to the /data/app directory and hoping they'll work like they should -- some apps will only work under the /system directory.

Yes I am, no changes at all. I even switched to CM libhardware_legacy and it had a bunch of errors. I even tried fixing it myself but it caused a bunch more as well.

I started getting the error about 3 days ago when I went to start on PA 2.11 -- its now 2.12 and I'd like to put out a new rom but I'm getting that error and don't know how to fix it. I've merged all my forked repos to the latest (github won't show since I haven't pushed everything yet). I even cloned Qurarx's frameworks\base and settings and remerged them with PA a few hours ago (which went pretty smoothly except for PhoneWindowManager.java).

Someone give me a hand here...I'm trying this on Terminal Emulator and I'm getting "ln: /system/app/app: Read-only file system".:rolleyes:

[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
Do not try this of you don't have a backup! I just did it and I had a bootloop. The thing is that you can't have a symlink and a real directory. So you have to move all system apps to /data/system/app. Didn't work for me

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

I think the best we can try is move some things out of the system partition. Like some gapps (Gmail, Youtube, Music, Maps, etc, etc) that I suppose would require a "custom" gapps for the Defy and maybe take some other things out of system? I see that media is taking about ~19mb, fonts another ~19mb. Can we move them? There are some other apps that can me moved as well...from the top of my head I know Browser app can me moved to user space, I'm sure calculator too and some others as well. Any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
Bootanimation can be moved to data/local.
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
Just for future reference, you can remount /system as rw by doing

mount -o remount,rw /system

It is just less typing. That's all :)
[Defy Android Development] vietales:
Huh?
[Defy Android Development] nziria:
how can i remove the sistem animation? or replace it with a lighter one?

can you post a lighter animation and a "how to" set?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Rom Toolbox Pro works good for me :p. For the how to

Download random bootanimation

Go to /system/media

replace the old one with the new one

that's pretty much it

I did a few symlink experiments yesterday and came to the same conclusions as you -- Custom Gapps for the platfrom. The Bravo and Defy /system partition just can't handle Full Gapps+CM10 roms+anything extra. I've offered to host AnTerNoZ's Updated Gapps on Goo.im for us. Perhaps we could change his updated gapps to a Custom Gapps? We just need to figure out which Gapps should stay on /system and which don't need to be there.

I still haven't figured out that compile error. I'm about to try again, but I'll be building directly from PA upstream (no Quarx merges on frameworks\base or settings) and see if that gets me past that error. If that doesn't work, I have a few other things to try.
