Michael,

Since you wrote the paper on this, any hints on how to activate software CE
in CyanogneMod? Looking at the code, the app should get a notification for
a IsoPcdA tag and be able to transceive() with it, but I don't get this when
sending reset, select etc. with an external NFC reader. I have registered
for IsoPcdA using foreground dispatch, and looking at the logs IsoPcdA
seems to be enabled. Does the reader need to send any specific command
to get this to work? I've tried with both CM9 (ICS) and CM10 (JB), but never
get TECH_DISCOVERED intent.
