Tried the first method. Installed it, got email from google. Thanks OP.

Rooted, verizon GN bere...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] distortedloop:
Good stuff, and thanks. Do you know what part of the hardware/phone/device the connection is (e.g., the NFC chip id, the IMEI, etc)? I (and many others) are wondering if battery swapping on the GN will break wallet since the NFC is on the battery. Anyone with a spare battery tried?

If I can ever get Wallet working on my upgraded ROM on my Nexus S, I'll at least know if Wallet balances survivor ROM flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Not certified T-Mobile UK on stock 4.0.1.

I have access to a PC in the US. If I tunnel my internet connection through that PC so that it appears as if my phone is in the US, I wonder if it will work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
Went to my pre-wallet Nandroid backup and installed the APK above with no problems at all.

Loaded the pre-paid card and it came up with the same amount after I did the ZIP install from last night. Gonna try to make a payment with it today and let you know.

Thanks to everyone for all your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsyourboyerik:
worked flawless for me!! thank you for making this work, devs!

the woman behind the counter was so confused at what i did lol i was hoping there'd be more people behind me to witness the power of android and put their iShits to shame. but i'll try again during lunch rush.

Rooted/stock G-Nex LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatspsychotic:
Works great.

Also installed the most recently posted APK with no issues. No more "optimizing apps" at boot and no FC after transaction. Thanks for putting this up! Just had to restore to pre-zip install backup, but other than that no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusParty:
Installed on unlocked LTE without rooting. Works flawlessly! Totally stoked, Cannot thank you enough for making this so simple. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiephat:
anyone give this a shot? i dont want to risk breaking my phone again lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julienrl:
please let us know if it does!

I happen to have a pre-paid t-mobile USA sim card, when I opened it with that simcard in my phone (roaming), it allows me to get past that error saying it was not supported in my country. Unfortunately my data roaming seems to be blocked, so I will report back once I have a full activation and have switched back to my regular sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HWOW:
I had the same problem on my nexus s and I can't seem to add my citi card on there. Why!? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] distortedloop:
I only use American Express Blue unless the store won't take it. I haven't tried to add any funds with it.

I'm really surprised that there are no hidden fees...I'd hesitated adding funds to the Google Prepaid for two reasons:

1) fear that it would be treated as a cash advance and charged the cash advance fee most credit cards charge. Have you gone through a full billing cycle where you can confirm that it wasn't added at the end of the billing cycle?

2) uncertainty about how "rewards" points are accumulated doing this. Amex Blue gives me 2%, 3%, 6% cash back depending on where used (6% is for grocery stores); the convenience of using Wallet vs the cash back lost isn't worth it.

Wallet's an exciting step forward in phone tech, but it's clearly just a baby step right now; Google's got a lot of work to make it a true replacement for my leather wallet.

I'm going to go read all the fine print on Wallet and see if I can get a clearer picture of the rules. I'd initially just played with it because I love playing with new technology, and Google's $10 gift didn't hurt. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Well, I contacted Google Wallet and although they tried to help (knowing full well that the Galaxy Nexus isn't supported yet), they were unable to resolve the problem. They directed me to Money Network which also tried but was unable to solve the problem. They escalated the issue and will have a technical rep contact me in 24-72 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n0m0n:
Which file do I download if I have a Verizon Nexus?

Are there 2 I files or just 1.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjcelius:
I can say this works for me. Tried it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] distortedloop:
Try this apk FIRST: http://googlewallet.lukegb.com/stock/wallet/1.1-R41v8/com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.apk

Download to the phone and install by opening the file with the download manager. Voila, it just works.

You'll have to go into settings for the phone and allow installing apks from unknown sources first. You'll get a warning message when trying to install if you haven't done that already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keattsd:
Sorry if this has already been answered, but is there really any reason to install the new APK if we already have the old method working? I followed the instructions to remove the old apk/odex files and put the jar files on my phone, and then when I installed Wallet it would crash as soon as I opened it. When I use my nandroid backup, Wallet still works, because I had it working before I tried using the new apk.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
Installed and running fine on my unlocked GSM on 4.0.1. Got my ten bucks, and even added a citi mastercard without issue. Will report back later when I try it at a store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
That was so freaking awesome... The indian guy at 7-11 was mad impressed and confused at the same time about how it worked, and how it was so easy. Just tap, and the receipt prints!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Nope. The APK didnt work for me in the UK on GiffGaff running an unlocked phone

Carrier is not supported etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ccb1208:
Good question... I have the same issue, as soon as I open the newly installed Wallet apk after patching the zip install, I get "Unfortunately, Wallet has stopped." I even tried to go back through the uninstall procedure again and had the same issue. I am going to continue using the original install method....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] distortedloop:
Almost my exact same experience, right down to the clerk being Indian. LOL. Guy thought my phone was an iPhone, though. Yikes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jopah:
I'm don't really know what else to try. I've wiped my whole device and pushed the stock images to my phone then relocked and reunlocked the bootloader and I still get "The Secure Element has stopped responding." message when I install the apk. I couldn't get the old method working either. Has anyone else have this issue and fixed it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esocid:
Got it working, but just curious, does the prepaid not show up online for anyone else? All I see is my one visa I use for checkout. It would be nice to add money to the prepaid online rather than through the app itself. Also, payments worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arma47:
Are you running 4.0.1? You might need the update first for UK phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KenG_CA:
It's easier than it sounds to install

There's >50 pages on this thread, and maybe it's been said, but this apk does not require any complex series of steps to install, as detailed on the first page. I have an unlocked GSM GN, running on T-Mobile, with only 4.01, and all I did was copy the .apk file to the phone and click on it in the file manager (Astro), and it installed without any complications. The only way it could be easier if it was on the market, but that's not really a big deal. I'm going to go use it in a couple hours, and spend those $10 Google just gave me.

Thanks to lukegb (and all others who may have contributed), great job!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Unfortunately I've only just realised that stock Android has no way of setting a proxy server! :mad:

I've tried turning off all the location features, taking my SIM card out, and pretty much everything I can think of to stop the phone knowing where it is. Nothing worked. The only think I can think of is that it is doing a reverse DNS lookup on my IP address and determining that I'm in the UK. I'll think about it some more ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LexusBrian400:
I made 2 purchases yesterday via Google Wallet... they are not showing up online. This troubles me as far as being able to use it in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Got it working in the UK. Pretty simple really.

Download MarketEnabler and set it to US T-Mobile. Then start Wallet and tada
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Ignore.

.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HUNZwiebel:
Will it work in the EU (UK version) without root? Simply download the apk and install it? Btw, will I got the bonus 10 from Google? How can I transfer money to its "virtual" card from my own?

Nice release :) Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bergqvistjl:
To the OP:

Do you think you could make your original post a little clearer? I've got about 3 different methods, and several files to download and frankly i'm confused as to which file goes with which method. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayclapp:
I have a Canadian Virgin Mobile GN that I am using right now in the USA with ATT sim card (voice/data) and was able to install apk but running app I get the error not supported couontry/device. ???

Its stock GSM not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KenG_CA:
I bought my GN from a store in the UK, it's running 4.01, and it installed ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
I'm in the UK on 4.0.2 and UNrooted, is there a way past the "not available in your country" thing if we dont have root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
Yes, anyone having this issue just needs to install market enabler(https://market.android.com/details?...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5ub3RlbmtpbmcubWYiXQ..) and set it to T-mobile USA and then you'll be able to setup wallet without an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Define "Online"; Google Wallet on a web browser is old "Google Checkout" ; the two although the same name now do NOT share any info amongst each other yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
Sweet just got my free 10 bucks. Thanks to whoever figured this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Those outside the US there is some rhyme and reason to Google blocking use; I think it has more to do with not having a previously provisioned Google Wallet account now makes them check carrier/locality.

I switched from my TMO US SIM to a Vodafone Australia, Swisscom, 3 UK and Chunghwa Taiwan *ALL* worked if I wiped Data from Wallet and let it re-init.

Leads me to believe the initial setup first time around is looking at carrier/locality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Except ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Weird, I installed this using the .zip file yesterday and then I flashed the new revolution HD ROM (I went from 2.1 to 2.1.1) and google wallet wasn't there anymore. All my other apps were still there except google wallet.

I shouldn't have to install it every time I update a ROM right? I just reinstalled it but isn't that odd? Why would it disappear like that? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noev:
Not sure if anyone has any ideas but i has the flashed version up and working on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I could not get it work after following the remove instructions. I tried to do a factory reset and reflash the stock 4.0.2 I have done that now and everything should be stock but when i try to install in the wallet.apk it says my secure element is not responding. Any ideas on what i can do, or do again to get this to work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Flash the .zip file (if you're rooted). That's what I did and I didn't get that message. I hope it works when I go try it soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiephat:
welcome to my world.

I just returned the phone and got a new one and everything works again :-P

im pretty sure the original method with the .xml change screws up the hardware somehow. I reflashed factory images and new roms and google wallet would never open for me again.

Should check to see if you can turn on and off your NFC...when your "More..." option is settings causes the settings.apk to crash...its just time to get a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noev:
yeah i was hoping to be able to undo the flash hack and just use the .apk but if the secure element dose not want to work with this .apk i might just have to do the flash hack again. I got the flash hack working bought a few things at cvs it would fc after each buy but it went through. If the only way to get wallet working is to do the flash hack again i might just pass on it more trouble then its worth.

yeah my settings.apk is still working and my nfc setting in more are still showing up. What exactly did you say to the people at verizon when you returned it.

Side note if anyone figures out how to solve the secure element not responding problem it would be much appreciated.

NVM: Wrong Wallet thread.

Wallet works perfectly on my Galaxy Nexus, as posted earlier. My Nexus S is problematic, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayfin:
2 days ago I ran the original Google Wallet method posted by the OP. Today I removed the .zip following the methods provided. I got 2 errors.

rm /system/app/Wallet.apk /system/app/Wallet.odex

rm: can't remove '/system/app/Wallet.odex': No such file or directory

rm /system/app/NfcGoogle.apk /system/app/NfcGoogle.odex

rm: can't remove '/system/app/NfcGoogle.odex': No such file or directory

All other steps went as intended.

I installed the provided Wallet APK, however Wallet FC's upon opening.

I'm running rooted stock LTE 4.0.2.

Tried wiping dalvik and formatting cache, Wallet still FC.

UPDATE:

I flashed the stock system.img and was able to install the provided APK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiephat:

I did a backup of my factory build, but no love.

Hopefully someone else will benefit from this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BatterseaPS:
So what happens if I installed CWM recovery and flashed the wallet .zip file from yesterday?

Will I automatically get the eventual 4.0.3 OTA or will I have to flash to some other image first?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edude03:
Blah, I tried Market Enabler on the GSM GN as Verizon and T-Mobile, no dice on either :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electrowolf:
Assuming there's no hidden malware in this version (which can be pretty well assumed, do the MD5 hash match to the Nexus S's version), then this is awesome! I'll admit I was a bit disappointed when I found out that Verizon would not allow the Nexus to have Google Wallet, since they were rolling out their own competing service (anti-competition, anyone?).

However, I downloaded the APK, emailed it to myself, clicked on the attachment on my phone, enabled allowing installs from unknown sources, and bam! Instant Google Wallet! I got the $10.00 prepaid card loaded with it, and it's working like a champ. I haven't had a chance to actually test it out yet, but it did successfully install, no FC's, I'm not rooted, and everything seems to work like a champ.

Here's another chance to gratefully say a big THANK YOU to all you XDA developers once again for an amazing job well done. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reverik:
Is this secure?

Sorry if this has already been asked and I did not see it in the thread, but how safe is this apk?

I installed the apk version w/ no flashing on non rooted locked VZW GNex. If this has been modded at all, that scares me a bit in using it. Is there a way to confirm it is safe to use and not get financial info stolen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
I hope you find a solution. I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Even though I'm using the official Google APK now, I still can't get my Prepaid card activated! Error activating card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Is the apk, that can be installed without flashing, unmodified? Is it the same version as in the market? I notice that it shows up in my installed apps and it shows as compatible now on the desktop market.

BTW, it works great. No force close whatsoever! I added $100 from my Discover card without any problems. Just bought Jamba Juice with it. Lady was so amazed by it lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cypherx82:
Is there any way to fix the "Secure Element not responding" error?

I had the .apk working this morning, added money and bought some stuff at CVS with it, but now it's giving me this error.

I had ~$50 on my Google prepaid card, I'd like to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Try restoring your phone back to stock and wipe data (yea, bummer you have to start over) and install the .apk instead of flashing the zip file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th0r615:
I'm not a security expert or anything but I don't think you have much to worry about if your careful. NFC is off when the screen is off so no one can scan it while its in your pocket. And just don't add your own card, use the pre-paid card google gives you and just add funds to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cypherx82:
I DID install the .apk. Now it's not working.

I never tried the .zip.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luigi90210:
how did you get it to install from the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Just download the apk in the first post. Apparently, it's the official one from the market. Once you install it onto your phone, it will show up in your "my apps" list. Before that, it wouldn't show up and on the desktop market website, it shows that it's not compatible with my carrier. Very strange...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
Any way to get round the "not available in your country" for NON-rooted phones? (Market enabler requires root)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joereger:
can somebody estimate the chances that installing the non-root apk on a galaxy nexus will hose an official wallet installer in the coming days, weeks, months, eons?

similarly, once the apk is installed, will the app update itself automatically?

Instructions for getting rid of ZIP version

Instructions for getting rid of ZIP version only <4.0.3:

Open ClockworkMod Recovery

Download the correct files from http://googlewallet.lukegb.com/stock/system/ that match your Android build and system - ICL53F is Android 4.0.2, yakju is GSM and mysid is LTE.

You'll need:

NfcGoogle.apk

com.android.nfc_extras.jar

Open an adb shell from your computer to your device from the directory you've just downloaded those files to

Run (on device via adb shell):

mount /system
mount /data
rm /system/app/Wallet.*
rm /system/app/NfcGoogle.*
rm /system/framework/com.android.nfc_extras.*
exit

Run (on computer):

adb pull /data/system/packages.xml packages.xml

Make a backup of the newly-created packages.xml file which is on your computer

Open packages.xml in a text editor (which isn't notepad)

Copy ALL the content

Open http://googlewallet.lukegb.com/gn_packages_xml_fixer.html in a web browser

Paste the content into the left-hand "Input" box

Click "Fix it"

Copy ALL the content from the right-hand "Output" box

Delete all the content in the text editor with packages.xml open

Paste the content

Save packages.xml

Close your text editor

Run (on computer):

adb push NfcGoogle.apk /system/app/NfcGoogle.apk
adb push com.android.nfc_extras.jar /system/framework/com.android.nfc_extras.jar
adb push packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/NfcGoogle.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/com.android.nfc_extras.jar

You're done.

EDIT (28/12/11)

Important notice for all those who have already attempted to remove the ZIP version to replace with the APK version

Read this if NFC has disappeared from your more menu, you get crashes in the More menu, Wallet now forcecloses where it didn't before after removing the ZIP

I have just (idiotically) noticed a blindingly obvious flaw with the files I had previously uploaded to the stock folder on http://googlewallet.lukegb.com - they were the odexed versions of the files, crucially WITHOUT the .odex files. I've replaced them with pseudo-stock (same signatures) versions of the apks and if you replace the NfcGoogle.apk, Android should correctly take this into account.

Don't forget to chmod 644 the NfcGoogle apk and the com.android.nfc_extras.jar files!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
It's an APK that's directly from the Market, and can even (with the help of Titanium Backup or similar tools) be attached to it and you can then use the Market to update whenever a new version is released there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luigi90210:
i did that and it isnt showing up on my market, ill try clearing cache for the market and see if that changes anything, any way i can force attach it to the market if that doesnt work(free methods cause im not paying $7 for titanium backup)

EDIT:

it isnt letting me see the app on my galaxy nexus, my model is toro if that matters at all(not sure if it does)

In can confirm that the apk works fine on a never-rooted, never unlocked completely stock 4.0.2 LTE Nexus. (My daughter just installed it.) (For my phone I did a 4.0.2 factory image recovery, then installed the APK - worked fine, and kept my existing Google Wallet balance from before as soon as I re-installed from APK, which still had $12.xx cents on it.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bp328i:
Ok I did the zip version and everything works then I go to pay and after I pay it force closes. So my question is I just downloaded the files for LTE but it looks like the NfcGoogle.apk in this link does not have a classes.dex file in it.

This seems to be for a odex ROM not deodex. Can someone chime in and let me know if this will work on a deodex ROM.
