[MOD] 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).

Anyone with a Galaxy S4 on STOCK TouchWiz ROM willing to test the below?

1. If you have Xposed app installed be sure to disable/uncheck the Google Wallet Root/Region Check Remover in the Modules section of the app
2. Force Stop the Wallet app (in Application manager)
3. Clear Cache and Clear Data on Wallet app (in Application manager)
4. Delete all traces of it from both locations /system/app and /data/app/ (could be called com.google.android.apps.wallet.apk or similar or could be called Wallet.apk as well - check both)
5. Reboot your device
6. Flash the attached file I have in this post using your custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)
7. Open the Wallet app and set everything up
8. Check what "Tap and Pay" says in "About" section of the app
9. Confirm what happens on a transaction
10. If failure, go back to Xposed app and enable/check the Google Wallet Root/Region Check Remover in the Modules section of the app
11. Reboot your device
12. Test again a transaction again

***WARNING*** TouchWiz ROMs only!! Preferably stock but if you're using custom just make sure to include that in your post when you tell us the results.

Woww dude.. Basically you took my patched fix and renamed it to Verizon and pretty much jacked my instructions for method A and didn't even give the slightest bit of thanks on your OP.. that's wrong.... Then in my MAIN thread, you told vz users to post here instead since this is a Verizon forum and to leave the T-mobile talk there..

News flash, the patch is the same for all variants, all derived from sprint.. It doesn't matter if you have tmo, verizon, or att, the fix will work for all carriers..

Not to be a prick but this is kinda messed up

Hi Joe,

I'm sorry that you feel I have hijacked your original mod. You originally posted in the T-Mobile section for the Galaxy S4 and as you can see I was working on the same mod way back on the Verizon Galaxy S III. My initial intent on creating this thread was to make one that works universally on both deodex and odex with both AOSP and TouchWiz ROMs. Since there was no known working Odex version (the one MikesTooLz created was confirmed not working on Verizon devices and some AT&T as well) and no one stepped up to take on a proper working Odex version after multiple requests, this is what motivated me to make one myself. I just did not want to confirm it works on other devices just yet until more people can test but this version differs from yours as it universal (at least for Verizon devices for sure) and modifies many less files than your modify so we can keep as close to stock as possible but still have the required files to get Google Wallet working.

Please note I did not take any code or files from your original mod, I merely replicated what I previously did for the Galaxy S III by taking the same one from a deodexed Sprint S4 ROM (if this is what you have done as well it is by mere coincidence since this the only known working solution that has worked in the past). But I do feel bad about not giving any credit so I will go ahead and edit the OP to rectify this situation. I hope you understand where I came with the idea for this as I merely wanted to recreate for the Verizon Galaxy S4 the same that I did on the Verizon Galaxy S III (especially since we had no thread in our section, just one linking back to your deodexed-only version). No hard feelings sir?

Is it the old wallet apk that is borking the nfc or is it that the zip from the OP also includes an older version of the exposed installer that's not compatible with 4.3 roms?

It's the apk that breaks nfc..... I'm not on a 4.3 rom. I'm on hyperdrive 10. 2 which is 4.2.2 based. Hyperdrive comes with xposed. The old apk would just flash the older xposed framework which can easily be updated from the download section of the framework. It's when I flash the zip nfc breaks. I cannot figure it out. The old apk worked fine on hyperdrive 9.1, then 10. Breaks on 10.1 and 10.2. The new apk of Google wallet. Sets up fine, but the transaction won't go through. Really hoping someone can help me with this issue as no one has been able to help for either old or new apk.
