[MOD] Patched Google Wallet for Galaxy S4 (Version 1.x - Old Version)

Patched Google Wallet for Galaxy S4
(Version 1.x - Old Version)

Description: This method (nearly identical to my previous thread for the Verizon Galaxy S III) will help you get Google Wallet working on your Verizon Galaxy S4, regardless if you have a TouchWiz-based ROM or AOSP-based and whether it's Odexed or Deodexed. This should also work on AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile Galaxy S4 as well.

Please Note: In order to use this method you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery (1, 2, or 3).

Downloads (Version R96 v16)

TouchWiz Only - Download Link
AOSP Only - Download Link

How to Apply Mod

Code:
1. Make sure you have no Google Wallet pre-installed, or if you do, reset data on it
2. Once you have reset the data, go to the Wallet app in your Application Manager
3. Select to "Clear Cache", then to "Clear Data"
4. If you see "Uninstall Updates", select that button, but if you see "Disable" button leave it alone
5. Using a root explorer and text editor, change build.prop lines to correspond to this

Code:

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus ro.product.name=yakju ro.product.device=maguro

6. Keep an old version as a backup
7. Copy the TouchWiz or AOSP zip file for the mod to your phone/SD Card
8. Reboot into your recovery and flash the Google Wallet mod
9. Boot back into the OS and open Xposed Installer app (should be installed after flash)
10. Select "Install/Update" and allow root access if it asks
11. Reboot your device
12. Download and install Paul's Xposed Wallet apk
13. Launch Xposed Installer app again and go to the "Modules" tab
14. Enable the module by checking the checkbox for it
15. Reboot your device again
16. Now open Google Wallet and setup everything as needed (PIN/Security/Cards, etc...)
17. After it is all setup and working, change your modified build.prop back to ONE of the below

Verizon Galaxy S4

Code:

ro.product.model=SCH-I545 ro.product.name=jfltevzw ro.product.device=jfltevzw

AT&T Galaxy S4

Code:

ro.product.model=SGH-I337 ro.product.name=jflteatt ro.product.device=jflteatt

T-Mobile Galaxy S4

Code:

ro.product.model=SGH-M919 ro.product.name=jfltetmo ro.product.device=jfltetmo

Sprint Galaxy S4

Code:

18. Reboot your phone normally one last time and you will be all set

When Changing Roms

1. Open Google Wallet
2. Press the Menu key on your device
3. Select "Settings"
4. Select "Reset Google Wallet app"
5. Select "Reset" button
6. Flash your new ROM and/or wipe as needed

Updating to New Version Anytime

Everything seems to be working. I will have to head to McDonald's tomorrow and give it a try. Thanks!

Well I got this working from the other thread but looks to be same methods which is fine.

Now poking around... I noticed I have a devices section on the Wallet website and see I can reset it remotely if anything happens (though I wouldn't test that for ROM issues). Nice to know... is this more a secure element self destruct?

Also I notice a section asking to "Verify Identify" which if required... I will. But I am already reading where people have entire Play Store/Checkout locked out over this permanently over this. I just hope I don't get my account screwed one day because Google hates the grocery which I shop at or some lame thing where GPS is off by 500ft and claims I'm not there.... I know farfetched and over the top but just concerned or if anyone had issues with this.

Ok it works for me untill I change my build.prop back. What am I doing wrong

I wouldn't worry too much about those, I think the remote reset from the website just wipes the app by itself, the secure element stays working so it can be passed on. Highly unlikely and unnecessary that Google will want to brick a secure element for security purposes.

Which method did you use? What happens when you restore the build.prop? I personally have this running back on the stock build.prop using method A, so I know no issues on that one.

Will this work for the at&t phone of the same model sgh-i337? Stock rom rooted.

I'm currently stuck in "identity verification hell" and can't use Wallet even on my 100% stock Nexus 7. not happy. I sent them my license and a utility bill already and they still want more (SS card) which seems ridiculous. Amazon Payments was required to collect SSNs not too long ago...but they didn't require a freakin scan of the original document.

ugh.

anyway: Method A works great for me (still on TouchWiz for now sadly).

anyone else notice that when you change the build.prop product name, if you long-press the home button you see three icons along the bottom of the screen instead of "Task manager", "Google", and "Close All"? I believe that's what AT&T/T-Mo users see by default. wasn't enough to get rid of that stupid WiFi notification though

The way I designed it I'm pretty sure it should. Give it a try and let us know.

Wow sorry to hear about all that difficulty. Hope you get it resolved with Google promptly! Glad to hear the method worked for you though (as expected).

On an unrelated note take a read at this thread here regarding the icons instead of words and also the Wifi notification fixes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295622

Method A , Step 7. Reboot into your recovery and flash the Google Wallet mod

The file downloads as JFLTEVZW-Wallet-TW-JB-1.6-R96-v16.zip.zip

It's a nested zip file. does it need to be unzipped one level first or is that just the name of it ?

EVOme · May 31, 2013

Mine has been at 'setting up this could take 5 minutes' for 10 minutes. I used Method A.

Parafly · May 31, 2013

Nice, just finished Method A.

ZIP file was fine as is.

Everything appears to be working. Will confirm after i get to make a purchase at some point. Thanks!!!!

Edit; I had previously used Google Wallet on my Galaxy Nexus so everthing came back, cards, etc. easy peasy.

What happens if we follow all steps properly and get Wallet working, but then flash the 3Minit framework after in order to use the UI tweaks that the 3Minit app offers? Does that mess anything up for Wallet or is that Xposed framework needed permanently?

My mistake, it's not actually a nested file if you look inside, I just forgot to rename it. I'll reupload with proper name to avoid confusion.

This one did take some time for me as well, usually just let it be there for about 5-15 minutes. It checks a lot of stuff in the background at this point.

Wow!! That took like 23 minutes to configure, but it's working!!!!!!!!! Solid work on this. This was the only thing my S4 was missing.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Xposed framework is needed to stay there for Google Wallet to patch properly but if I understand that 3Minit mod correctly I think it just added an additional patch to the Xposed framework to enable and doesn't need to replace it? Could be wrong but I think it should be fine.

ticrandall · May 31, 2013

I already have xposed framework installed. Do I have to UN install it before doing this? I'll lose all my mods.. and have to set it all up again, grr.

In that case not required. All you have to do is update the new one that this mod flashes, the rest should remain the same however.
