Using phone as an NFC reader? - Galaxy S III Android Development

Okay, before everyone start flaming me, lets talk about what i can do. I am an android developer who makes APPS. And i will gladly help with anything in my power. I don't have much understanding of how the NFC in the phone works, but thats why i have you guys.
My request is:
Will it ever be possible to use the phone as a USB NFC Reader for computer?
(or any form of connectivity)
The idea is making the phone function as a nfc reader;

I will gladly help in anyway, msn/pm me and i will gladly put an effort into this. (if you believe that this can become a reality). I can make windows software and android. And i love discovering new stuff!

Wrong section buddy, themes and apps....

Stock.
Wrong forum whine for +10chars.
Thanks captain useful... I put a request for an app in the nexus development section sorry... maybe a mod would redirect me but for some guy who is as clueless as I am to come on here and tell me I'm whining when in reality he doesn't have a fix for it or even advice...
Its funny how only mods/devs are useful and the rest (not all, had some great advice from here) are just snarky users who pounce on a mispost... go back to flaming on youtube.

So again I ask is there an app or a mod that modifies an existing tether app to allow wifi tethering via usb instead of 3g/edge... OR can a mod please direct me to where I should be posting... That way I won't have to deal with flamers... Thank you xda

The phone tethers over wifi via USB stock. Just try it, it works.
really... Wow well il try that at home... Thanks in advance... Every android user is allowed one stupid question

Me thinks you owe someone an apology.
and save YOUR snarky comments for youtube...
you come into a dev forum and ask for some one to spoon feed you an answers to newbie questions, an excusable offense, but the attitude you complained someone else had, is the one you felt the need to display.
Hypocrites suck, especially ones asking for help, then cop attitude because they are too dumb to read the post that helps them.
Especially when the answer was in the 2nd post, which you ignored.
Stock isn't an answer... And the solution still hasn't been found... All bs aside is there something I'm not getting... I tether via usb with the stock tethering and on the comp side it shows up as ethernet 2... now in the network settings it won't connect to my "ethernet" is there something else I over looked or are their manual settings that need to be input.?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Thanks for the useless, unhelpful comment Tbirdguy... Seriously how much attitude are we talking here... I asked a pretty basic question as the stock tether won't work for me which is actually a big deal as I need internet for my work... He didn't answer my question and he told me off for whining... So I gave him a piece of my mind and when Pwig helped out I admitted my stupidity and I admit I probably posted in the wrong forum but hey at least I'm getting ppls thoughts on it negative our positive... Il gladly buy whoever can help solve this one a beer, granted you have a paypal account

Evilkorn is there a settings/setup on the pc side of things? I understand how it works it just won't connect... Do you know of any issues with cm6 and older g5 macs... God they sure have a lot of problems! Thanks in advance.

I'll entertain this even if it's in the wrong forum.
It'd be nice to be able to share wifi in the absence of 3g. One perfect situation is in hotels where only one computer has assess to the pay-for-access wifi internet.
1) You can't share WiFi over WiFi. You can, though, share WiFi using USB.
2) COMPLETELY STOCK PHONE SHARES WHATEVER INTERNET CONNECTION IT HAS - WIFI OR 3G - USING USB TETHERING. IT CREATES VIRTUAL ETHERNET ADAPTER ON USB. SOME COMPUTERS WILL NEED DRIVER FOR THIS. SOME COMPUTERS WILL NEED RESTART TO ACTIVATE THE WORKING PHONE CONNECTION AS PRIMARY. SOME COMPUTERS MIGHT REQUIRE DISABLING OTHER, NON-WORKING CONNECTIONS.
3) I hope the caps were big enough to end this thread that shouldn't have begun (or at least should have begun in Q&A section with "I tried to tether my WiFi through USB, it doesn't work for some reason, what am I doing wrong")...
What the guy wants, what i presume, is not the tethering he says, because that is stock.
But if you are picking up a Wifi Signal with your Nexus One! and you want to share that connection through USB on your laptop/pc. This means your phone acts as the wireless network card for your pc/laptop
Correct me if this already is possible, but as far as i know, this wasn't possible till 3 months ago!
1. I know that, that's mobile hotspot...
2. Stock tether is not supported on osx as it said in the help under tether/hotspot settings.
3. I know that my post wasn't in the right section as I stated before... and to be honest I don't really care
4. I'm sick of these ppl treating me like a noob when I've probably owned more android phones then half these cats, only reason I'm a noob on xda is because I've never had a problem with android that a few searches on xda/androidspin couldn't fix..
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm back to my original question... Is there an app besides pdanet that allows usb tethering... *sigh* you know what forget it guys... any other day I'd be down for this and usually droid does but today droid didn't which means money in apples pocket... Thank you to the ones that helped and thank you to the ones that didn't, they did their best
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have cm6 and I just tried it and it works like other posters says, USB tether shares whatever interwebs connection you have over a USB based rndis adapter. Your mac needs an rndis driver to make use of it, I thought newer versions of macos had this included. you may need to do some googling to find it, I cant help you as I know little about macs.
Oh I have no doubt that everything in cm6 works very well its something on the mac right after it finds it as a ethernet port it gets weird. A rndis driver you say... I can work with that... Thank you even if it doesn't work!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
On another note... Isn't cm6 f'n awesome... It literally cured my rom flashing habit! After cm6 I just check out news and apps... As far as I'm concerned my phone does everything I want... EXCEPT USB TETHER haha... Ahhh! My phone performs miracles and it can't tether lol... That's why I lost my hair on this one because I don't mind if I get stuck trying to trick out my phone (goodies, oc, aesthetics) but If I get stuck on something that can be very useful (won't say need cuz 3 months ago id say your dreaming) then I lose it lol... Anyways I'm gonna go check it out!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
OP, I did answer your question. You asked for a rom or an app that could do it, I said stock rom. That it doesn't work with your mac, that's a seperate issue, but stock rom can tether wifi over usb.
Plus I didn't mean you whined, but I needed some extra chars to be able to post so I put up a whine about you posting in the wrong forum.
You might want to look at your posts, they don't show a great attitude. If you want help you shouldn't say things like you don't care about posting in the wrong forum. I, and probably more people here, don't like to help someone that doesn't give a crap about following some basic forum rules and starts flaming people who actually anwer his question.
Good luck finding a solution.

[Q] Truecrypt port to Android

Anyone here can port TRUE CRYPT to Android? I am ready to donate if anyone can do this.
Even a basic program that can encrypt and decrypt SD card, at least the external SD card would be acceptable. This way we can be assured that data on the external SD card is secure, and store documents on that.
I looked for something along the same lines for a while, tried every app I could find on the market that was related, but none of them came anywhere near truecrypt's functionality.

Current rom: Perception b8
Agreed. If anyone could get an app that could atleast encrypt the whole external card, I'm good. Don't even want the functionality of mounting n dismounting as a drive.

It's the only application I can't find alternative on Android. I need a port of TrueCrypt or FreeOTFE very much!
I think we could start a bounty for anyone who can do this.

This is the place where people can post what they want. Please feel free to post on this forum too, as it would be seen by android dev folks.
It would be super awesome if they ported it to the Android platform. In my experience, BB 9700 is a truly secure device with its full AES-256 encryption. I used to use it before i got my Captivate so i can def say i miss that feature.

U have an extra 250 MB in ur drop box now
Truecrypt has an dedicated forum, I would say ikt would make a lot of sense to go their and propose realistic outlines/requirements of what we expect from a TC version for Android. There seem to be a lot of folks who cling to the notion of "if it is important do not put it in a handset with a Google OS because Google kis teh evil".
Voice your opinions and needs there, maybe that makes a difference.

Software is called Truecrypt. Surprisingly it has an official website, truecrypt.org. Checking that one out you find a blue box on top which has a simple text link going to the forums.

really not that hard to find. Linking the actual thread won't do anything either way cause you need to sign up for full access. Once you are, just use in site search with the term Android or something.

I've been interested in making something like this. I do have android development experience as well.
I'm assuming opening a truecrypt container would be a good place to start.

Writing a paper about app development, need devs to answer questions

Hey guys, just wondering if one you devs would mind answering a few questions that I'm going to use to write my english paper.. I would greatly appreciate it.
feel free to leave your name or make one up, I'll use whatever your comfortable with.
1. What made you get into app development?
2. How long did it take before you were able to to start making apps?
3. Where do you see the mobile market going?
4. Would you say there is a good career in app development for mobile tech?
5. If you could go back in time, would you choose app development?
Thank you so much for reading and more thanks if you answer the questions!!
dammit. nobody? i really need to get started on this paper...

Move to Q/A please{Request}On screen buttons possible without PC ?

Is it possible to enable on screen buttons for ICS without having a pc to edit the files? I'm running CNA and have to say its the only thing missing . I read the tutorial to enable them but that requires a PC is there an app to edit them with ?

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Change the button mappings so that one of the buttons do not exist, and see if that gives you an on screen button. To the best of my knowledge ICS detects hardware buttons, so if it thinks there is no physical home/back/search button it will create an on screen version.

there is even a ****ing how to in the OP on the first link, it amazes me how little people do to get something that they want, is it that hard to search google or xda. And if you dont have the skills then learn, its always good to know how to do something so you dont have to rely on other people, you sir (the op) are what gives xda a bad name
I already read that thread and would have done it already but my only machine i own is my vibrant so I cant edit those files. Thanks for being a cocksucker tho !

I tried this for a while. Not really worth it. You'll still be able to see the capacitive buttons and it's really just quite ugly to have two sets of buttons.
Why you need on screen buttons ??
we already have soft buttons that perform the same function.

There is such a thing called a library, or a friends laptop, hell walk into walmart and do it.
Also if you ask if something is possible it implies that you don't know. If you new it was possible you should ask for a port of this feature with links. I stand by the statements I said earlier
I think he posted this thread as a joke. I sure thought it was funny good one
why are we all such negative people, like seriously come on now. OP, they have a point, search nextime. But everyone else, you dont have to be so instantly judgemental and negative toward him. there is a polite way to tell someone something, and swearing only makes you sound ignorant like you dont know how to form intelligent sounding words. this site is for our hobby, everyone cheer up, geez.
You guys need to relax , it was a request . I know how to search I wanted to see if someone had the same interest or had it for personal use . Seems like the threads title was "My GPS doesn't work" CHILL
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I agree that rudeness is not needed but:
#1 You posted a request in the development section. Questions or requests should not be posted here.
#2 You should have posted in your OP:
a. What you are requesting
b. The conditions you are in / working with (status)
c. What you have looked up already
d. What you have attempted already
The last 2 are key - its shows you are not lazy and you are genuinely trying to fix / solve the problem yourself.
Good luck

hey guys, I was a windows phone lover, but as we know, i got forced out... so as I'm nkt a snob, I won't own a iPhone, so im trying my best with Android, but am not happy how intrusive Google is, I don't really care for Google either, and I feel they're watching my every move, and id like to ride dirty if I want to without someone watching me.. if... I felt like it.. sorta creepy if you ask me, plus Google ruined my buddies phone for downloading a video game they say was pireted, so im not ok with that, as the phone was my buddies property.. so.. yeah, that's my feelings on all this, miss windows, don't own a computer, just a boy and his stalker android phone, that always seems to have issues with software, afraid to turn my phone off, because for whatever reason, android phones don't like to turn back on.. for me anyway, hello everyone

thank you, I don't know how to do that sort of thing, and ware I live, we don't have phone lines, so no computer access, so I would need a way to do stuff either buy using phones own storage, or SD card, or to another phone, and a male to male cable linking the two phones together,, but as it seems, I'm guessing my Stylo 5 isn't root friendly, so idk, thanks for any help info you can provide, also, I'm having major problems with senior members, I posted a help question, and no one has responded to it, but if I comment on others posts, asking if they fixed the problem, or what I should try, it gets removed, then I suggested someone with a broken phone, hook a Sim card up to another broken phone, after getting the one networked unlocked, if it still didn't work, and putting in the other phone... and got message not to post illegal stuff on here.. it wasn't illegal, seems everyone wants to keep removing my posts, and talking crap to me, but no one wants to help me with my phone problem, I don't understand, I need help, not policing, thanks, if there's anything you can do to guide me or help me, it'd be appreciated
