Note: This app is for educational and personal use only. Always respect access control systems and only use with cards you legally own. Not intended for unauthorised access or cloning of secure systems.
Recent changes: - NFC emulation is now smoother — the NFC refresh only triggers silently after a confirmed successful reader tap, never on screen open or card load. - Devices that don't need an NFC refresh (Sony, Samsung, etc.) are no longer affected at all. - Fixed a rare crash when the NFC service restarted while the app was resuming.

Need to find out how the rooted device will work with this

The Emulator stuff is great, but I can't seem to bypass the notification that I need root to show the real UID while my device is already rooted
