Understanding 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

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
or
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

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 card prepaid 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)
