Hi Eliseo,

These phones have an embedded secure element that has a fixed UID.

Secure Element. The NFC controller uses random UIDs for all other cases.

> Which secure element they have?

The embedded secure element on the Nexus S/Galaxy Nexus is a SmartMX
from NXP.

For NXP's PN544 that's correct. For peer-to-peer mode and software card
emulation, that NFC controller will use a random UID/NFCID1. Only in
secure element based card emulation mode, the UID provided by the secure
element is used.

It not only depends on the SE being present. For the SE's UID to be
used, the phone must also be in card emulation mode using that secure
element.

The CyanogenMod 9.1 firmware contains patches to enable card emulation
on phone's with NXP's NFC chipset (PN544). So any phone that you can put
CyanogenMod on and that contains a PN544 should work. The standard
Android OS on the phones is currently not capable of software card
emulation.

Best regards,
Michael
