[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-devil:
Hi all, i finally got some NFC tag and i decided to use it with tasker to get some stuffs working

the way i'm using it is with the tasker url launcher

which i got everything working properly but when ever i scan a tag, i'll get the "New tag scanned" screen which i have to press on the screen before tasker will do something...

is it possible to get the note ii to skip that screen and default with the url on the tag??

Thanks :)

Edit: i found a solution, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS53aWRnYXBwLk5GQ19SZVRBR19GUkVFIl0. works quite well with tasker
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] mrvirginia:
confirmed working :)

thanks again!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] CPA Poke:
This is great, thanks for your contribution!

So does the integrity check call only have to do with access to the secure element? Or does it also eliminate the need to spoof device model for compatibility purposes?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
It is just for the secure element. You can modify the wallet apk to bypass things like root checking, model versions, and carrier checks as well. It looks like the xposed framework patch that has been floating around does some of this, but it doesn't seem to patch the calls to read the device properties for device ID and such.

In my testing, I was able to replace all of those calls in the wallet app with constant strings containing "valid" values. This would kind of suck to have to do for each update... Though It would be a simple enough matter to write a script to do this automagically for each update. (Baksmali, sed/awk to find and replace in the smali, and smali to classes.dex) or write an xposed module to watch for calls to read prop values originating from wallet.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] CPA Poke:
I think that's what the existing Xposed Wallet hack modules do (watch for the read prop values originating from Wallet). But for whatever reason it won't intercept the calls on initial setup, which is why you have to actually change the build.prop prior to initially setting up Wallet.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] mrvirginia:
if you had time to add a how-to to bypass root checking, model version and carrier check, I'd update it every time. wouldn't be a problem and I'd be happy to help out.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
Bypassing Root:

Look at the com.google.android.apps.wallet.security.EnvironmentProperty class in the constructor method.

We're looking for this segment containing SU_COMMAND_LOCATIONS:

.line 70
new-array v0, v4, [Ljava/lang/String;

const-string v1, "/system/bin/su"

aput-object v1, v0, v3

const-string v1, "/system/xbin/su"

aput-object v1, v0, v2

sput-object v0, Lcom/google/android/apps/wallet/security/EnvironmentProperty;->SU_COMMAND_LOCATIONS:[Ljava/lang/String;

Note: These variable names change (v3, v4, etc...), usually they will be the const/4 numbers defined at the beginning of the method. Just make sure you use the one that contains 0.

Change this line from v4 (which contains the number 2)

new-array v0, v4, [Ljava/lang/String;

to v3 (which contains the number 0)

new-array v0, v3, [Ljava/lang/String;

Then simply delete the following lines:

const-string v1, "/system/bin/su"

aput-object v1, v0, v3

const-string v1, "/system/xbin/su"

aput-object v1, v0, v2

This will Set the environment property SU_COMMAND_LOCATIONS as an empty string array which will cause the checkDevice function in Lcom/google/android/apps/wallet/security/EnvironmentProperty$1 to simply break out of it's for loop and return 0 (which is what we want).

Bypassing device/carrier restrictions:

Here is a quick script I whipped up to replace the build prop calls automagically.

Usage would be something like:

Baksmali the classes.dex in your apk:

java -jar baksmali.jar your.apk -o outdir

Run the script (below):

/path/to/pwnprop.sh outdir

Do whatever other changes to the outdir directory.

Then smali:

java -jar smali.jar outdir -o classes.dex

Finally, winzip, lol. :P (If you actually use winzip imma kill you.)

The script:

Save this as pwnprop.sh (or whatever you feel like) and chmod +x

#!/bin/bash

do_replace ()
{
case $3 in
# Replace these with whatever device you want to clone.

if [ ${#temparray[@]} -eq 3 ]
then
do_replace $line
fi

done
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
I think it actually just replaces the function that checks, "Is this device id allowed?" But for the initial setup the strings in build prop are sent to google where they can reject them server-side.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] mrvirginia:
when trying to run the script, i keep getting a syntax error

pwnprop.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found

pwnprop.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `$'\r''

'wnprop.sh: line 3: `do_replace ()

i'm doing:

bash pwnprop.sh classes

classes is my "outdir"

edit: alright, i've converted dos2unix. now i'm just getting errors that the file doesn't exist. argh, oh linux.

edit: zip has been updated to no longer check for su binary. still needs a device/carrier bypass restriction removed...
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] CPA Poke:
Gotcha, that makes perfect sense.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
Make sure you have the sed, echo, and grep utilities installed and in your path.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] mrvirginia:
i finally figured out what the problem was. iirc, i was running it as root or something. had the same problem when i tried using the Kitchen again a week or two ago and got it sorted so i'll attempt to run this again [hopefully] over the weekend and give everyone a working Wallet regardless of device so they won't have to do silly tweaks anymore with build.prop etc. thank you again, sir.

oh, did you ever figure out the SIM unlock issue?

Causes NFC to FC on official 4.3 with full wipe. Oddly, it works with dirty flash. Ideas?

Never mind. It was just a bad signature.

@ OP: this NfcNci mod works on TW firmware MF8.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
Good to hear. Sounds like this is a new feature in Samsung firmware. Still makes me wonder if non-samsung devices suffer the same fate. The function call is the same no matter which implementation of NfcNci you are using, but I suppose that each vendor's implementation of the integrity checks by necessesity will differ.

[General Questions and Answers] Diablo67:
Is this a stock rom?also did you try to wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions,also it might be the rom,try another one,just to check,sometimes backups can get corrupted also.

Thanks, But can we use it on CM based Roms which do not have this feature,
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Life'sGood:
[delete]
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JAsko_san:
I don't think that you can use this feature, which btw is just a modification of the sistemui.odex, which logically will only work on the stock v20x version.

But I think that almost every rom has this feature, I'm currently using the MIUI rom from MIUIAndroid.com and it has this feature build into the rom itself.

I think that AOKP rom has that too - but not sure which version exactly.

And CM, they don't have this build into their default roms. But, I'm not so sure, I may have seen a mod somewhere which enables this exact same thing.

:fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] wajahebat:
So this mod will actually show which network speed? From Wifi or phone Reception?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
It should show the current speed of whatever you're downloading, whether on Wi-Fi or mobile network.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GRG13:
i flashed this file and i now i also have Qslide without doing anything else.JUST FLASHING THE ZIP FILE

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DidierDrigbi:
Is everything working in your Qslide, like Internet and Video apps?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GRG13:
All is OK except video apps
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
Internet works but not in qslide mode, and video can be fixed by installing video app from other thread
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DidierDrigbi:
Yeah, I know that there is another thread in which everything works as you wrote, but I was thinking to myself if this solves the problem of the Internet app not working in the Qslide mode.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ThattOneKiddMichael:
A while ago I tried changing my extra Sprint SIII to boost mobile. I thought it would be good for learning and at the same time increase value. I found tutorials online and used CDMA Workshop. It got complicated and never really worked. However I had gotten pretty far I dont remember how far.

Now (two months later) I want to sell it (actually Its already sold, Swappa.com) My IMEI and stuff is still the same but I think some changes were made. I dont want to send someone a phone that wont work with their company. WIll this work. I reflashed the stock ROM.

Where's the batteries for this phone???

I got the onite batteries on amazon nut they're the only ones who have anything.... and heads up, the charger they sell it worthless. Its a universal charger that's way too small for the battery.... Why the hell doesn't samsung make a battery charger combo for this phone??? It's like even they didnt have faith in it when they made it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I got extra batteries from eBay which are 3500mah and they work fine. I just charge my phone via PC's USB and it takes less than 2 hours. You may need a 2A charger if you want fast charging. It's a new territory for Samsung so they must be cautious not putting everything in it.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] saintsimon:
At the bottom of that page, the two accessories (flip cover and battery set) are shown again but no further detail, no product codes. Looks like the accessories are only available as sets with the Mega only at the moment. The device is still new on the market, the accessories might be available later elsewhere, too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
Anyone experience this happening to them? The text seems to go through, but the signal drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
The signal on the signal bar? If that's it it isn't really dropping completely, unless it shows No Service. AOSP just measures and show the signal differently than Touchwiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
Well it does drop. Because signal bars becomes empty (if that makes sense). If I try to go to a webpage while it's like that, it cant load the page. Mind you, the signal comes back in 5-10 seconds or so, so it's not a huge deal. Just curious if there is a fix by chance or something I'm just missing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
My phone rarely show the service correctly in the Notification Bar (very low 4G signal and it doesn't show up but works perfectly), the accepted way to measure your signal in in About Phone/Status.

It sounds like you just have spotty coverage or low coverage and it becomes a little worse on AOSP.

No matter how many times it is said that AOSP reads/displays the signal differently for me it is actually a little worse on AOSP. When I say worse I usually have 3 bars of 4G and full 3G, no out of service time, and the measurements in the About Phone/Status menu are generally a bit better on TW. With AOSP I have 1 bar of 4G and 2 of 3G, 10-15% out of service time, and lower readings in the menu.

hey guys, i've been having an issue with my N2 charging. Seems as though at times the screen shows charging, but after an entire night of charging, i unplug it and its still only at 1 or 2 % more than when i plugged it in 7 hours earlier. This is using the stock charger that came with the phone, i have tried my wife's charger and ger the same issue. But when i use the car charger it doesnt seem to happen. Is there any issues with this that others have had? I know my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket had some wake lock issues(?) with certain chargers, i used the app some one posted and as long as that was clear the phone charged fine. Would that app work for this phone? i'd have to find the link if needed

I have bought a new device which is I9500 and I ve been thinking about rooting it.

hey there people of [ xda-developers ] ,

first of all i should mention that English is not my native language but i guss i'm good enough to ask here :confused:

any way ..

i was wondering if i could connect my galaxy S4 to the internet not using mobile network .. //it sucks !!

i searched Google for that but i found that i've to root it to work ..

and i really don't want to do that after a really bad experience with S3 Rooting :crying:

so i'd really a appreciate any help ..

and by the way this account is not mine i found it's password on some site .. // thanx for its user , :angel:

so that's all ..

hoping to find solution .. :confused:

​
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AxAtAx:
So you are using someone else's account? hmm interesting. What site had the password? Can you share the link?

You should be able to plug it in and the pc should see it, no root needed. Just install the correct samsung drivers for the device.

What are you needing to do once you get the pc to see it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If your computer is connected via ethernet and you have a wireless card, you could broadcast a wireless connection from your computer and connect with your S4. At least, I know that method works in reverse for sharing a wireless connection through an ethernet link; I would think it should work in reverse as well. It's all in the configuration.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikef:
The solution would start by reading, and if that is not enlightening enough, registering your own account to ask questions instead of stealing or "borrowing" someone else's account.

Thank you,
