If you've been trying to run Google Wallet on your USA variant Note II you've probably ran into some problems. like this one..

"Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)."

why is this happening? check HERE for more detail.

But for the sake of keeping everything together in this 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, 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
So, All i did was rip a handful of lib files and whatnot out of a International SGS3 (I-9300) and push them onto my Note II. and viola! you get all the ways to the point where you actually try and add the card. then things go downhill.



you can find information on people having the same problem we're now stuck at HERE

all you need is a rooted Galaxy Note II to flash the zip. must be running Touchwiz. should work on all US and International variants (providing it has an Exynos4412 in it)

Should go without saying, but this is my first CWM zip. it's been working fine for me the multiple times I've tested it. but you're on your own if you have problems. And i'm not responsible for damage.


NOTE: in my experience it doesn't matter where you get the Google Wallet APK from. I modified my build.prop to match the Galaxy Nexus and got it from the market. also tried the modified Modaco one from HERE with no change.

Did you by chance change your build prop?

did you edit the Build.Prop to this?

Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
i had zero success editing the build.prop using the free stuff from the market. either make the changes from Root Explorer, or use ADB to pull it off the device, edit it and push it back on.

I have used Google wallet and I already have cards added to my wallet account. Besides adding the card, has anyone tried just activating their current cards?

Yes tried activating current card , new cards, diffrent gmail. Maybe it has something to do with the nfc.apk if u try and change it. u wull lose nfc I think tmobile learned from the s3 not to make it so easy to get wallet working. If u open the apk w winrar you can see a lib file inside. Maybe thats key because wallet isnt seeing something from are phone that will get it to work like the s3 thread if u go into about in gwallet. Ull see controller applet version is empty thats what we need to figure out how to fix.esteef go into gwallet, about see if u have a controller applet version.thanks

If you were using GW on your last phone you have to either reset GW on the old device or login to GW in a browser and disable it. then you should be able to add the card. thats what i did at least. i also do it every time i flash a rom.

Going to try pulling more of the NFC based stuff from the international variants and pushing them onto ours to see if that makes an improvement. Right now all that zip does it update the libs down in /system/lib and /system/etc.

so, next test= NFC.apk and NFCtest.apk from the N7100. using the apk's from the I9300 cause bootloops.

EDIT: successfully pushed in the NFC apks from the N7100. but no change in Google Wallet when using the Modaco version.

even the sprint and international note 2 users are having the same problems as us when adding cards. we need to find a note 2 that has gwallet enabled sucessfully. maybe the note 2 is lacking hardware?? this is frustrating
