how safe is it?

I'm just gonna ask this question even if it's already been answered. I know Google Wallet can work properly with some Roms BUT HOW SAFE IS IT to use wallet on a custom Rom?

The stock rom is made and installed by Google (SECURE) but the other custom rom are made by one person or a team and NOT by google.

any comments?

I'm using Paradigm JellyBean Rom and the gapps zip files comes with google wallet for verizon (toro). I was able to customize and use google wallet BUT the whole time, there's a message at the top of the wallet app that states "unsupported device" and the details it gives is that because my phone (Galaxy Nexus) is rooted, it's not supported (BUT IT WORKS FINE)...

any comments???:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fluid888:
hmmm... i got mine up and running fine on a galaxy nexus here in germany using market enabler.. but now for some reason the app wont show anymore.. there is no shortcut on my home screen and it wont show up in the installed apps.. however when i visit the play store its says wallet is installed???

weird.. what can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
I have the same issue but mine did not show up at all after installation. Btw, I live in holland so maybe it's europe-related?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fluid888:
well i could use the app, add credit cards and everthing.. but then all of the sudden the shortcute disappeared.. would be great if someone had an idea ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
What country?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albatnawy91:
I am in the USA and that happen to me :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Unfreeze using TiBu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fluid888:
Germany

how exactly would i do that? sorry for the stupid question...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
Okay so I used to use market enabler before but now that Google wallet can support every debit card apparently. I want to get the apk and market enabler but ME isn't on the app store anymore, what to do?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk_ln:
so you successfully made the purchase at McDs using your own added cards and NOT the google prepaid $10?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphan22:
Hi

Sorry to ask this im a noob.

But i went to wallgreens the other day and couldn't pay with gwallet.

Is it cus it says unsupported device?

I know my nfc works i trade stuff between phones all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niteh@wk:
Unsupported device warning shows cuz your phone is rooted. It should still work. I paid at McD using gwallet on my rooted Nexus S. I didn't know Walgreens has Paypass, gonna try tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skinote:
I pulled the packages.xml file with adb, then the fixer updated it. I then could NOT push the file back, got an insufficient privileges error, so I coped the new one to the SD and used root explorer to rename the old and whatnot. Rebooted and the amazon appstore and all the apps I had downloaded with it weren't working, and wouldn't work even with a reinstall. I'm going back to the old packages.xml and waiting for a more polished install of wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sicRage:
I was having this same problem, easy fix

1. download factory image here..hxxps://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz (replace "xx" with "tt")

2. extract and find system.img in factory image zip

3. reboot your phone into bootloader

4. use fastboot to flash system.img ( Win: fastboot flash system system.img ; Mac ./fastboot flash system system.img)

5. Enjoy!

**EDIT** ok so upon doing this you will need to re-root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheTomas:
I tried to do the same thing, but my problem was the fixer didn't fix anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Facegarden:
Mine also force closes on me.

I rooted my phone, booted up to install ROM manager, used root explorer to delete the stock recovery backup thing, copied the ZIP to the phone, used ROM manager to flash CWM, then told it to "flash a rom" and picked the Wallet zip file, and selected the option to also erase the phone. I figured that was the only way to get it installed without having to edit the XML file.

The app opens great and all that, got it set up and google gave me a $10 card, but when I tried to use it it just FC'es.

I tried to use ROM Manager to fix permissions but it just throws an error ("An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" - but SU seemed to work fine).

As others said - almost there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noev:
Had the same problem the solution is in CWM is to go into mounts and storage and unmount everything that is not data (click to unmount data it wont seem to work but it will) once you have done that then push the changed .xml file to the phone that should solve the problem with wallet not working

Edit: to the post above this you need to install busybox for fix permissions to work, you can also do it from recovery in the advanced section
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psouza4:
Doesn't work -- applied the new packages.xml, verified the timestamp and file size changed, fixed permissions and chown'd it for system.system -- restarted the phone, and market doesn't show me Google Wallet. Tried the web market too -- nada.

Is this supposed to work for the Verizon LTE version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
Heh, I think this means it's already mounted! Move on to the next step, man...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheTomas:
I ended up wiping and reflashing my rooted but unmodded backup, then flashing the wallet rom and it now seems to be working (havn't bought anything yet). I don't like wiping, but I didn't have much to lose this early. Now that it's working, i'm going to make a backup and then install my deodexed rom and button mod to see if wallet is still there afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwclarknu:
Does this also fix the FC issue when using it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] compywiz:
Thanks, this took care of it. Now if only the actual app worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Do you lose any of your data by doing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qw3r7yju4n:
@OP - Fixed your instructions =)

How are we supposed to make companies, like BIG RED, sell more Dev devices?

By bringing in a bigger crowd to the OPEN SOURCE! No offense, love all of you guys' work; but a little patience and understanding, would and could go a long way to make OUR CAUSE the MAJORITY, not the minority. BTW - I found this thread from another site - which caters to a much more newbish crowd. It's hard searching these threads to find what you need. I do it all day long and still don't find it all!

<3 your work... just wish I had soft buttons. The on screen ones do not work in the Wallet app; had to bounce my device to get back to launcher. I suspect it has something to do with the modified UI Buttons I have(4 instead of 3). Could be wrong though.

Yep.. everything went wacky on my device.. even CWR wanted soft keys....NANDROID FTW
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SS2006:
I cleared data/cache (aka factory reset my device) then flashed this when still in recovery and it works

but when i make a transaction google wallet force closes, but the transaction does GO THROUGH, so it still works

any ideas why it FC's tho

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

now that i got it working without having to edit anything, can i just flash future releases without doing nething else
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valkyrie743:
i think i got it working. i have yet to test it or set up the google card ($10 free) is there a way for it to stop upgrading apps when cold booting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georges023:
With great success!

Alright guys I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE (Build ICL53F), and I followed this guide (with CWM's recovery) and I'm happy to report that it works! I tried it tonight at CVS, it worked amazingly and had a couple wows from it ^_^

Thanks a lot guys, you rock!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valkyrie743:
NICE. i cant wait to try it out tomorrow. do you have the issue when you reboot the phone it updates apps? (on each reboot?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
Earlier I flashed ICL53F to my device and noticed on the reboot it restored Wallet from the market. I opened the app and it said it wasn't supported. Opened the market and found an update. Installed the update and reopened Wallet. I was able to activate the account, card, and it shows my info. I'll test later tonight to see if it really works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
I have that issue, I did not know it was Google wallet causing that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
i got the same thing^^^but I am out of the country, so my local sim says my country is not supported....but I am confident all will be good when I return home.

I imagine anyone with a gsm version will soon unsubscribe to this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus15:
It does not. Followed your steps to the letter. Still FCs on wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphan22:
Ahh ok. Tough didnt work cus of that. And maybe it was the Walgreen machine. Neither my GF phone worked. Thanks for the info
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nessnet:
Walgreens hasn't enabled the functionality. It works at JackNBox and McDonalds, so I know it's Walgreens not the phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphan22:
Ahh i thought so. Cus i tried with 2 different gnexs and neither worked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] automaddux:
See I was having the same issue. It was working at some places then all the sudden I couldn't use it. It's kinda embarrassing to walk up and try using your phone to pay and it not work. Could someone confirm that I have a working version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I got an email yesterday asking me to confirm my address with them. Could this mean the end of international Wallet use until it's officially released?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk_ln:
were you able to use anything else other than the initial $10? specifically, were you able to add any cards and confirmed them to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I'd added funds to the Google Prepaid using a BuyFromPowerSeller card with AVS address as recommended in Paul's MoDaCo thread. As for Canadian CC's, I did the address-change trick to add it, but of course it can't be used yet, as previously reported. Google Prepaid still works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
I just installed the modaco modified one set the permissions, rebooted and it doesn't show the app any ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
What ROM are you running? Make sure it supports Wallet since I don't think they all do? How did you install it?

You should adb push it to /system/app and then adb shell in to chmod 644 the apk.

I am running stock yakju and have been using Paul's apks for months now with 0 issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
I'm running AOKP Rom I used root explore set it to system and set the permissions rw r r.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
"set it to system" as in chown? That's not necessary, root.root works fine, it just needs to be in /system/app/.

I also don't trust explorer apps to do stuff like this correctly, so I'd prefer if you went in with adb shell and ls -al /system/app/ to make sure it's all good.

Are you sure AOKP is Wallet-compatible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
Sorry I meant I pasted in /system/app and set permissions to rw r r. rebooted

The device and it doesn't show in my drawer.

I dunno if it's compatible this is my day one with the nexus. I use the s3 as my primary device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GANJDROID:
Its the only rom that it installed on with ICS. Used the MoDaCo version as its got all restrictions lifted. Haven't had any luck since JB came out though.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Perhaps AOKP isn't compatible now that it's JB? Like I said 0 problems for me with yakju stock JB.

mardos: what're the owner and group? I told you to adb shell and ls -al /system/app for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
I ran the adb shell in android terminal emulator. Then I did the ls-al /system/app

Any other suggestions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Well first of all you didn't tell me the output... basically I need to know that owner:group are set to root.root for the file. That screenshot doesn't show it.

I don't trust explorer apps to do stuff like this correctly, so I'd prefer if you boot into CWM went in with adb shell and ls -al /system/app/ to make sure it's all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
This is the output http://pastebin.com/Ew1ziriF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Okay. That's still not cwm/adb shell but it got the job done... That all looks good; as you can see it's root.root.

Next we'll try to force your system to read the apk: Boot into CWM and clear your dalvik and cache.

If it doesn't show up after that then you could see if for some reason it's being frozen by TiBU and needs to be defrosted.

That's pretty much the extent of my troubleshooting for you though. Failing all of that, I'd guess AOKP JB just isn't Wallet-compatibile at the moment and you'll have to go file your complaint with them. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
Ok it seems like it's frosted with titanium back up. When I defrost the app and reboot it comes up with an fc and then it gets frosted again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Like I said, no idea what the story with the freezing is other than maybe Wallet knows it's incompatible.

How attached to AOKP are you? It will definitely work on stock yakju, and probably on stock deodexed if you're big on modding. AOSP-based still possible but it probably depends on how far it deviates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
Not attached first day, I would thank you but xda continues to fc you got a link to a working Rom. I'll thank you tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Click the ROM link in my sig for Google's factory images, grab the yakju one.

Edit: And here's bigxie's stock deodexed - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737849

I'd still recommend stock yakju from my sig unless you're hellbent on theming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JSiNeM:
Can someone share the 9/15/12 update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Paul hasn't patched it yet so that's a negatory over here.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landstander:
Does anyone know if the Galaxy Nexus uses the same APK as the Nexus 7, or is there a separate Wallet version for tablets? Hoping I can just extract the app from my other device...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Try STOCK STOCK. yakju from my sig. Do a full wipe of your phone first. OEM lock and unlock would do the trick, then flash the yakju images in fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dskyers:
Using paranoid and works great put gas yesterday and bought cigs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I've seen reports of AOKP working too, might just be that mardos is dirty flashing? With a clean install, yakju WILL work though, since I've been on it all along.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
aokp works fine with it, and even i am just now giving the newest nightly of cm10 a whirl and combine with its gapps comes pre-loaded with wallet which also works fine so take your pick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
Ok going to try this soon. Will unroot flash stock lock boot loader and try lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
And then unlock the bootloader again since you want to make sure it's wiped. Reset to factory defaults, etc, etc. :)

Just make sure you know how to do a clean flash and then do one. That's the important thing here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
Today I flashed the modaco app on my gnex and unfroze it using TiB . After that I used VPN on my phone to get a play music app update (i live in Holland) and the store also gave me the newest wallet update. I was able to set it up (with vpn and MEnabler). I got some questions regarding this app:

1. Will I be able to 'update' the app using the yet to come patched modaco version?

2. Is there a way to make TiB automatically unfreeze this app on boot?

3. Why am I able to install wallet (and other US only apps) through the store on my Nex7 but not on my GNex? Wallet is working without vpn or ME. My tab was activated using a vpn to obtain 25$ store credit and is running paranoidandroid custom rom (my gnex is stock)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
Alright so I did all that and still nothing, wallet is hidden. Keep in mind I'm in Canada where wallet is not compatible lol oh well I give up, going to start using my s3 for now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I'm in PEI... no idea why it isn't working for you. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
Really? This sucks maybe the nexus I bought had an issue? Maybe the previous user did something lol. I just activated wallet on my S3 and it works on touchwiz

The only way I got it working on the nexus was using market enabler on reboot setting to T-Mobile. It didn't get frustrated or any fc

Btw are you using your Canadian visa or buying prepaid MasterCard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Maybe the original user did.. but it shouldn't crap out on your phone forever like that. I got my phone from Telus and in the first week switched to yakju because I wanted the OTAs and haven't looked back. I've done a few mods and rooted since then, but I've had no issues with Paul's modded Google Wallet apks since I started playing with them in May. I even forgot to reset Wallet a few times when I was flashing backups which had me terrified but still no problems with secure element or anything.

Even if you do get Wallet working on your device, you can't use Canadian CCs/Debits on it yet, even though you can trick it into adding them; transactions will decline. Using Google Prepaid and filling up with BuyFromPowerSeller AVS configurable prepaid cards is still the best way to do it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Droid:
I called my cc company added an American address in my card (aunts address) the card was accepted by wallet but decline every time like you said! I'll see if I can use your method
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] collingall:
I was able to get the update from the play store by using market enabler and then changing my build prop from Toro to manguro.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Don't even need market enabler. I just edited /system/build.prop by hand (made a backup), and rebooted. Install wallet run wallet. Works fine.

Restore backup of build.prop and reboot again. Run wallet. Still works fine. Buy chips at 7-11.

Are we gonna get the updated version of Google Wallet? 1.5 is released but I think we're all still on 1.1...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Follow the link in the OP to Paul@MoDaCo's thread for his modded 1.5 apk. That's what most people have been doing.

Speaking of the N7, got mine yesterday. Wallet came disabled on it (like with takju in Canada). Removing the Wallet.apk and adding in Paul's wasn't enough to get it going. Now Wallet crashes on startup but Defrosting after that using TiBU gets it working just fine. So odd. I added a Filter for system apks called "Wallet" to TiBU and Scheduled it for daily at 12 noon... If only TiBU had an "at boot" or "delayed by x run at boot" option for schedule it'd be the perfect work-around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nessnet:
Can't install patched version - (Play version just fine)

Cannot install the latest patched version.

I have had Wallet working on a GNX with no problems whatsoever.

I have been using unpatched versions, and have been able to easily update by downloading on PC, then putting the apk on the SD and simply installing it.

I'm currently sucessfully on 1.5-R75-v6 and I thought what the heck, let's do the patched version.

No go. Tried just installing it - I get an error: "X App not installed". So, I tried the build.prop edit. Rebooted, same error. Tried complete uninstall of old version, then install. Nope, same error.Even tried root explorer and setting permission, still no joy.

Luckily, I saved the version that had been working. Just did a regular old normal install (build.prop = toro) and it installed just fine.

Anyone able to possibly explain why the patched version ain't happenin'?

Also, if someone has 1.5-R79-v5 from Play, could you please post it?

Thanks

Yeah, it's a "feature" of JB. Paul's MoDaCo custom roms have it patched out (his changelog shows it as "Disable Jelly Bean 'Disable appts on boot'"). Shame we don't have a standalone patch for this - would save a lot of grief.

I haven't been able to get into Google Wallet in many months (says March 28th was the last time I made a purchase with it), I flashed a ROM update and did a factory reset, before I found out you must do a Reset in the app first... Haven't been able to get in ever since. The messages it displays differ by version...

I have NEVER gotten a secure element error though. So I'm hoping it's somehow fixable still.

Currently what it does it lock up, indefinitely, at "Adding your account..." after selecting my gmail/google account. It says there forever. It does this in the latest or prior 1.5 v75 build.

I've tried patched and unpatched APK's, sideloading, flashable zips, market enabler, etc. I've wiped the phone multiple times, tried different ROM's, did the "Disable Wallet App" from here: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#devices: - turned NFC on /off, cleared app settings... you name it, i've tried it...

Anyone ever find a solution to getting past "Adding your account..." ?? Anyone want logcat data or something to help us try and solve this... I really miss using Wallet :( And again, I've never gotten a secure element error...
