mobile

I'd like to be able to unlock my device and turn the screen on when I scan an NFC chip, but NFC is disabled until you have already unlocked the device by default. I have read that there are ways to keep NFC on while the screen is off on other devices, but haven't seen anything for the XT907. Anyone know if this is possible for this device? And if so please tell me how?

If it helps, I'm running CM12 on the 4.4.2 kernel/bootloader
