did you use root explorer or ES explorer to edit the build.prop? ES will break it

one last one then I give up on that rom
you will need to delete the nfc odex (if there is one)
If it doesn't work, go find some free wifi and update to LFB
got all of it done up to adding the card. Then it just says "error adding card try again later". any ideas? i'm on t-mobile running free s3
Working great thanks. Nfc still works tested it with tag in car. After putting original build.prop back it still works. One note ...recommended backing up the nfc XML file in system/etc and the 3 nfc libs in system/lib with root explorer that the patch replaces in case you want to go back to stock.

great. I will add that to the op. It is very likely the stock nfcee_access.xml will work, I just replaced it with what I knew worked.
the stock nfcee_access.xml has the signature for isis (if and when that is finally released)
so as it is, if isis was released today...it wouldn't work
However, it wouldn't work anyways because the libs dont have the secure element enabled...
So expect to see a firmware upgrade when it does roll out in '14
But I figured it is very easy to find a stock rom and pull it from there

Rtored from backup and applied fix three, still no luck.thanks for your help though. Phone update says there are none available, so no wallet for me. Thanks!
Quick question, is this the latest version of Wallet?
I have flashed a modded apk from the nexus forums and it's working fine, however I am constantly reminded that there is an update.

Interesting side effect I found.. when you have the jewel build.prop active in system the menu to change 4g or wcdma only etc works in system/more/networks..this is in at&t stock where it is normally disabled. Tried it on the fly thinking someone could maybe create an app that changes build.prop and toggles setting and changes it back. But unfortunately it requires a reboot.

238Understanding google wallet
the new google wallet is now available on ALL devices, however the "tap and pay" feature isn't
the tap and pay feature is officially only supported on the following devices
other phone can support tap and pay.... they just need a work around
for google wallet (TAP) to work first your nfc libs need to be correct (smx enabled)
and second the google servers need to see that your phone is supported for the initial setup (build.prop edit)
for example, if you have an AT&T galaxy s3, the smx (most likely) is not enabled because they want you to use ISIS (which uses the secure element in the sim card)
We cannot compile the att version of touchwiz because we have no source, we can take the correct libs from a sprint gs3 to use on an att phone (see lib fix below)
When trying to get wallet to work on a new device/rom take the following steps
1-instal wallet from play or side load. Set up and see if tap and pay is enabled. if no, see step 2
2-change build.prop to galaxy nexus (see below) uninstall wallet then reboot and repeat step 1. if no, see step 3
3-run a logcat while opening wallet and look for "wallet" , "nfc" , and "smx" . Most likely at this point you need a (lib fix) In other words, you need the smx enabled libraries and corresponding files from a supported device. flash appropriate files (see lib fix zip) and start at 1
4-once google wallet TAP is working, the build.prop can be reverted, but sometimes is will break wallet (TAP) and it might take a couple times for success. keeping the build.prop as galaxy nexus has no real side effects (I currently have a sony galaxy nexus)
old wallet fix
*The lib&nfc fix is intended touchwiz roms
For CM9/10,aokp, and any other aosp rom, just flash the desired version wallet as the libs and nfc apk are correct
latest Wallet version 1.5-r87-v15 changelog
where google wallet works
Google wallet (rom) compatibly list
to contribute here is the google wallet compatibly list thread
Ok, first a little background
basically what you are seeing if you try to install google wallet on at&t, tmo, etc, is you get stuck on "activating device"
If you dig a little further and ran a logcat, you will see that there it no "SMX detected"
What this means, when compiling the rom you need to enable SmartMX in the config headers located in the external/libnfc-nxp library. (thats why it works on CM9/10, they do this)
this is impossible for us because there is no source for samsung's TouchWiz. We got a break on the international sgs3 as the latest update has the secure element enabled...so does the sprint sgs3
well that got me thinking, and of course sprint's nfc libs are close enough to work without breaking anything
so this is how to do it. (btw, you need root)
1-make a nandroid! I am not responsible if you mess up your device
2-edit you build.prop using root explorer (when you press save, it creates a build.prop.bak)
do not use ES explorer, it does not save correctly, for that matter ONLY use root explorer! (or adb push/pull)
/system/build.prop
preferred
orCode:ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus ro.product.name=yakju ro.product.device=maguro
Code:ro.product.model=htc_jewel ro.product.name=htc_jewel ro.product.device=htc_jewel
3-If you already have Wallet installed...open wallet, go to settings and "reset google wallet" (if it hangs at 99%, reboot and continue with steps)
(if you are (re)installing a new rom, this applies too...reset google wallet from within app)
4-boot to recovery and flash SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib&nfc-fix.zip for ics touchwiz roms or SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip for jellybean touchwiz roms and then wallet version com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.zip
(for CM9/10, I9300, aokp, aosp roms just flash the wallet zip)
5-reboot device, you will get "android is updating" (only this first boot)(all apps)
6-open google wallet and sign in. add your personal credit cards (you must add them from your desktop first if you have never used google checkout before)
7-(optional)if you get "error adding card try again later", wipe cache and davlik cache from recovery (only once! it sometimes takes hours, not minutes)
8-profit (hold on! your not done, continue on to steps 9 & 10)
9-after it is all up and running (meaning cards added), mount r/w in root explorer, delete the modded build.prop, then rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
10-make a new nandroid with working wallet and put it in a safe place in case you ever accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data.
still confused, here is a video of how to do it by moonfire711
step by step upgrading to jellybean and adding wallet for verizon here
notes*
-if you have used google wallet on another device, your prepaid card on the sgs3 is not the same...so balances will not carry over on the prepaid cardprepaid is finished
-despite the new cloud-based authentication system, the app does not require the phone to have a data connection to make payments at NFC-equipped terminals
-really the key to this fix is the libs with the security element enabled.
-the build.prop edit is for enabling cards, once they are enabled it can be reverted
-the wallet apk has 3 features patched out. The first was a device check, the second patch was an operator check and the third patch was removing the root warning
-NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER RESTORE GOOGLE WALLET WITH TITANIUM BACKUP! (please click link on step 10)

This is a modified version that does not require editing your build.prop!
It will probably work on any device. The only thing you might have issues with is the nfc.
Details/How you can do it to:
NOTE: Please share this as much as you'd like, but please give me credit. I've spent far too many hours on this.
ANOTHER NOTE: If you get "Insufficient Privileges - blah blah (release-keys)" then you need to find an nfc fix for your device.
EDIT: I updated the apk and used a maguro (Galaxy Nexus) build.prop and changed every reference to build.prop, except sdk/version numbers. I personally tested a transaction and it went through successfully.19I went ahead and patched the latest wallet version and removed the root check, carrier check and device check. This isn't my work. I simply diff'd modaco version and applied the same mods to the latest version.
It's working fine on my device (SGH-I747).
Download!
* edit: APK has been repacked with compression.12
Ok, so there is hope! I'm building a new one right now. I changed everything to the maguro build.prop and I modified ALL instances of model, product, device, id, etc. inlcuding in About and User Feedback.
EDIT: Here's the new apk for anybody to try. I can't test transactions at the moment. You can just overwrite the system app, but I would suggest clearing data for wallet and then overwriting.
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2266586&d=13795302467I might have this working on 4.3. Tap and pay is setup and ready to use, but it's 2am and I'm not going to 7-11 to test right now. I'll make my wife walk with me tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, I'll upload.
If you've used @dannyben's fix you'll know about the nfc payment has stopped (at least that's what I think it was) error message. That's because he used AOSP based files, whereas mine is modified TW files so no popups.
