[GUIDE] How to get a working Google Wallet

Flame Red · Dec 10, 2012

Wanted to post that I was able to get this installed using CWM to install the Zip file itself instead of doing each file individually. I did get some very weird messages during the process that were not documented. Also, when wallet reset, it got to 98% and just hung there forever. I just closed the app and proceeded on. Seem to work as advertised, however, I need to try it at a store.

Are you fixing permissions as well as changing owner and group to root?

Thanks you. Not that. I think i'm using N7015 ROm so the app didn't match.

So I replaced my backup Nfc.apk and NfcTest.apk and Wallet still worked, but I could not make any purchases anymore. I just kept getting the message to check with the cashier to see if the transaction completed.

This worked perfectly for me, will see if it works next time I gotta get gas. Thanks!

Ok. I got this figured out finally.

I put the Nfc.apk and NfcTest.apk from the zip back in /system/app but continued to get force closes on NFC service.

Google Wallet worked though and I could make purchases again, so I figured I would read over the instructions again.
That's when I realized, at no time did you say anything about the odex files. I figured it couldn't hurt to try putting those back since they didn't get recreated.

Now I have the new apk files with the old odex files and everything works great. No NFC service force closes and I just made a purchase at CVS.

Hopefully my findings will help anyone else that decides not to follow the directions word for word.

I also am getting the upgrading message on every reboot, but everything else seems to be working properly. Any idea how to get this to stop happening? It seems to make my phone take longer to reboot.

Do I need to redo this whole process every time I flash/update a rom?

which rom are you using?

Got this working last week via manual push after following through WarlockLord's thread in the Verizon forum. By far the most common error is forgetting to change the permissions on the files. Read carefully and double check permissions on all files you've pushed before any reboot.

Heads up to everyone this long process does NOT seem to be necessary. I got this working(just did a successful transaction) via the following process.

Code:

1. Flash Zip.
2. Change build.prop to mirror Galaxy Nexus by,
   navigating to your build.prop in your /system and edit it to mirror the Galaxy Nexus. 
   ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
   ro.product.name=yakju 
   ro.product.device=maguro
3. Reboot
4. Setup Google Wallet, everything should go through without issue.
5. Restore build.prop by,
   changing your build.prop back to
   ro.product.model=SGH-I317 or SGH-I317M(which ever variant you have)
   ro.product.name=t0lteatt
   ro.product.device=t0lteatt Reboot.
6. Reboot.
7. Done!

Can anyone else confirm this?

Proof attached lol.

Confirmed. I dont have to downlload from app store and delete anything. No foreclosed. The setup goes straight to the end.

Can anyone clarify items 2 and 4 for us noobs?

2. "Change build.prop to mirror Galaxy Nexus" -- How do I do this exactly? Open build.prop with Root Explorer? Where is it? What does it mean to "mirror Galaxy Nexus"? Change which lines to say what exactly?

4. "Restore build.prop" -- what exactly does that mean? Replace the new build.prop with a backup of the original? Or edit the new build prop, and if so, then how exactly?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the dumb questions.

Hi, I want to try this but your STEP ONE seems very different from the OP of:

"1. Download the attached zip file, you must extract it, and place everything in their respective folders, backup your current files, rename with .bak on the end, paste the files in their respective folders from the zip. Set the correct permissions as the other files in the folder. Under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok."

So can we really just flash this in recovery without backing up the old ones?

Flashing the zip will do everything that his step one states to do, thats the point of flashable zips. As i said idk if this will work for everyone, it has worked for me and another so far. If you are weary you can always make a backup.

But i can say this DID work for me, nothing so far to the contrary. I was able to setup with zero issues and did a successful transaction, i can post pic if needed

Cool! Was just making sure, it's more like the OP steps did not make sense compared to yours because I've never had to manually extract a flashable zip before. Thanks for the help.

Do you get any NFC FC or strange bootup behavior at all following your own method? Thanks.

No problems at all.

After i did it i rebooted an instantly tried to open Wallet and it complained NFC was off when it was enabled. I waited a few seconds and it opened fine. Figuring it hadnt not initialized yet or smt.
