Guys, I give up.. I just cannot install Wallet on my Nexus. There's something really simple that I must have missed.

Here are the steps that I follow:

0) I am on T-Mobile UK. GSM Galaxy Nexus, Maguro, unlocked, rooted, AOKP rom b4.

1) downloaded the file "com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-R79-v5.apk" from "http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-15-r79-v5/"

2) copied the apk to /system/app using ROOT Explorer

3) Changed permissions to rw-r--r--

3.1) at this point I have *also* tried renaming the file to just "com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.apk"

3.2) at this point I have *also* tried cleaning Dalvik Cache

3.3) points 3.1 and 3.2 have been tried both as "OR" and "AND".

4) reboot

The app is just not there. What on Earth am I doing wrong?..

Cheers'n'thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameshmiller:
You don't have to put it in system or anything like that. Just leave it in your download folder if you want. Install it (i.e. open it, tap on it using your file browser) just make sure you have unknown sources enabled. After you have installed it, open it. Authorize it, add a card, and go to MickyD's and buy a happy meal with your phone. :)

BTW - Wallet has been updated to 1.5-R81-v4

a search will find it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] temka:
Nope, it doesn't work. In fact, Paul O'Brien wrote about it on the first page. You CANNOT install this apk as such - has to be put in system/apk..

and once again: I am in UK. Not in US. I am using a UK carrier. Not US T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameshmiller:
OkieDokie, I was just stating what worked for me, Different APK apparently though. I am using the R81-v4.

Good Luck to ya. :fingers-crossed:

I installed the latest google wallet on my Gnex and added my credit card too with no problems. I live outside U.s and forgot to install and set the market enabler. Will google wallet not work at the pay pass locations since I did not install market enabler to t-mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I'm stuck here

Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp917:
I don't know when this started, but now all my cards show an "unexpected error" message. Last time I know it worked was October 7. I see there was an update on October 3, I'm not sure which version I was on October 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp917:
The Nexus4 system dump has a new wallet.apk. I was able to update my wallet with it but I still have the problem of "unexpected error."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marsy00:
Version no longer supported

When I try to open wallet, I get the message "This version of google wallet is no longer supported. Please download the latest version from the android market." Then it takes me right to the market. I cant get into the app to reset it. I have version 1.1-R57v5.

Anyone had this issue and installed modaco with success without resetting? Or anyone know of another way to reset? Does uninstalling reset the secure element?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
I believe the secure element is no longer used, thank goodness. What an abortion that was. To be safe, go into settings and click "reset google wallet". Then uninstall.

Download and install the new wallet: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-new-google-wallet-apk-and-install-manually/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
How did you come to that conclusion?

I am still getting the secure element error with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
Secure Element is now only used for Google's Prepaid Card (which has since been eliminated) and some Citi MasterCards. It seems they've moved away from it. Does Google Wallet not work at all on your device? If Google Wallet doesn't use Secure Element, it'd probably be beneficial if they removed the error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
No,it is not working at all. Nothing's changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
sux, sorry. fwiw, i've only used it at mcdonalds. it doesn't really work anywhere else for me. fail...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I bought GNex to use the wallet and did use it once at McDonald.

After that I messed up the secure element by flashing a ROM and that was the end of it. I wasted a lot of time trying things to fix, but nothing ever worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyoteqwik:
The secure element is still used for Google wallet and it even says so in the quote from Google in post above.

Your cards are no longer stored on the secure element however the virtual MasterCard (not the prepaid card) that is linked to your cards is stored on the secure element. When you make a payment the merchant always gets the number from your virtual MasterCard. Google pays the transaction for you and then instantly charges the card that you have selected to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niteh@wk:
For those active ROM flashers like myself, installing GW as a system apps creates a challenge/hassle. From my research of several sources, here's how I am using GW in user app partition on an AOSP ROM like AOKP or CM10.

Recommended app for ease of build.prop editing and backup/restore: ROM Toolbox

1) Make a nandroid backup in case you mess things up.

2) Use ROM Toolbox and create two backups of build.prop

3) Use a file manager (or ROM Toolbox root browser) and rename the two build.prop backups. These are at /sdcard/romtoolbox/build.prop-backups. Do not rename the last part of these files or Rom Toolbox will fc. If it's messed up, just delete all those backups and start over.

I renamed mine as below:

aokpjb.m1.gnex.11-14-2012-18-43-12_system_build.prop

aokpjb.m1.org.11-14-2012-18-43-12_system_build.prop

4) Now open up Rom Toolbox build.prop editor and open the gnex build.prop backup. Change the values to Gnex as stated in OP. Exit to save it.

5) Restore it so that it's applied to your system build.prop

6) Reboot

7) Go to the PlayStore, search for Google Wallet, you should be able to see it and install.

8) Open GW, and proceed with setting up, add credit card(s), set PIN, etc... Make sure everything goes well and you are able to add credit cards ok.

9) Now restore the original build.prop backup.

10) Reboot

From now on, every time you need to use GW, just restore the gnex build.prop and reboot. Restore the original build.prop and reboot when you're done with GW.

Every time you flash updated ROM build, wipe cache/dalvik like normal. As long as you don't full wipe, GW is still there and working. Be sure to make new backup of build.props as most likely it's changed with updated build.

If you plan on full wipe, you must go into GW and reset it first or you will bork the secure element.

If this happens, is there a fix? One day my Wallet stopped working and said to reset and now my cards won't get setup, I just get a "unknown error" message. I have reset, wiped app data and cache, uninstalled, re-installed and re-setup but nothing works. I never got the actual secure element error though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
SE error is irreversible as I understand. Maybe try contacting Google Wallet support, if there is such a thing. Hope you can fix your issue.

So, I had to get a replacement Gnex. I went to restore my Google Wallet, but when I go to set up my card, I get a error that reads "Your request failed. Please try again." I had my card set up and working just fine (on Verizon) on my previous GNex. I tried reseting my wallet on the app and on a full web browser on a PC. I tried deleting the app and re-installing. I also tried editing my build.prop file to download the app from the market and it didnt work either. Any suggestions/links?

Files were pushed to /system/app, permission had been changed to rw-r--r-- and wipe cache/dalvik.

After reset I check via root explorer whether everything is OK. It's seems OK.

App was defrozen via Titanium backup and lauched. After 5-10 min pop-up appear that I should check internet connection, but wifi was enabled...

Does someone has any advice for my problem?

Odp: [APP] Google Wallet (APK: 1.1-R57v5, Play Store: 1.1-R57v5) [09/03/2012]

I think I can add a card to google wallet because my bank security. my card in December, is no longer acceptable in google play. recent changes in the bank require a cvc code for every transaction, otherwise the transaction is automatically rejected. I just ordered online virtual prepaid card, which is working with google play, I think that can work with google wallet.

-------------

I checked the card, I can not add. I read the card must be registered at the address was the U.S. that you can pay using Google Wallet NFC

Well I got it up and running. No force closes or anything. The XML stuff wouldn't work for me. I would paste my stuff in and click fix and nothing would come out the other side. Then again, i'm a noob and don't know anything about adb, command prompts or any of that really. I can just follow directions when you smart people spell it out for me. No idea why it wasn't working for me. I just went into recovery through rom manager, wiped cache, wiped data, flashed Peter Alfonso's stock rooted rom from his site, flashed the wallet zip, fixed permissions, and booted up. I've logged in and got my 10 bucks. I haven't added to the Google card or tried to buy anything yet but so far so good.

Updating

I was able to get this to work on ITL41F, but when I went to OTA to 4.0.2 it just went to the android guy on his back with the red triangle. I haven't done anything extra besides installing this as per the updated instructions.

I didn't think I would have any issues with OTA's. Is anyone else having this issue?

(I'm running GSM version).

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noev:
That simply means that your flasing of CWM did not stick. the best way to do this is in rom manager flash the CWM stuff then open a program like root explorer and navigate to the system folder in there located the file recovery-from-boot.p and change that to recovery-boot-from.p.bak that should make the flashing of CWM stick and solve your problem Good luck

Edit: ok so its normal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takaides:
Post #282 (quoted above your post) says you can fix it by flashing everything in the system folder, but you lose root (probably due to the loss of the su bin).

As for FCing after paying... Some people (me) are getting FCs before payment goes through, some after it goes through, and some not at all, when it goes through. I don't think that there is a known/published reason for this yet, but you're not alone in your symptoms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
Did you have a previous version of wallet installed from either the Nexus S thread or this one? The market app will not install over either of these versions since the signatures are different.

Anyone who wants proof that it works directly from the market after I flashed the ICL53F image JBQ posted on the google group, here you go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
I initially had 1.1-R38v5 on 4.0.1 (working great, able to add prepaid card) then I flashed 4.0.2 (fresh flash) and flashed 1.1-R41v8. I currently have 1.1-R41v8 on my phone. At this point, I am willing to try anything that may work :D

EDIT: Not sure I follow with the market thing... Are you saying I should flash ICL53F again and that may cause Google Wallet to download from the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
You know now that I think about it, I may have an explanation for why the market auto installed the wallet at time of activation. While trying to get it to work with the hacked versions, specifically the v1.1R38v5 wallet, I used titanium backup to attach the hacked wallet to the market to see if it would grab the updated version. Doing this did not work. Ever since then I've had wallet show in the market, no matter which ROM I've had installed. I apologize for adding more confusion to this.

If reflashing using the images I posted does not work, try the above steps and see what happens.

Are you in the US? If not, find a US proxy and create a new Gmail account via US proxy. You can add proxy to WiFi settings on Android. You will also need a US SIMM card, or Market Enabler to emulate a US carrier.

Hello Folks,

I live in India and i would like to send payments via Google Wallet to an individual in the US. I own a Union Bank of India VISA Debit Card. I noted that the Google Wallet android app from the play store is not compatible with any of our devices form India just like the Paypal android App. Is there a way to get this app to work so that i can send payments to US ?

As a last resort, is there any other reliable method of send online payments to US. Thanks in advance.
