Question about installing a new ROM. and Nanoid.

Should I reset all data in Wallet before? Or, if I do a restore, should I wipe google wallet and just relog in or something?

Ideas sudjections? etc?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
Just reset wallet before flashing new rom and do it all over it again to bring it back, don't flash if you haven't reset wallet first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatonjb:
Yea, thats what I thought, loose all the payment data, but thats what being a rom junkie is! but not a biggy. what if you do a non-wipe rom update?

Quick Question. Do we still need the modified build.prop file in place when adding a visa?

On my computer, when I log into google wallet, it shows my visa as my default card, but on my phone, when it is attempting to add it, it says it fails. I have already reverted to my original build.prop though. Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, I guess you do have to keep the modified build.prop when adding the visa for the first time. Once it finally went through, I changed my build.prop back and rebooted and it still looks good in google wallet. Will have to try out the new method soon. Thanks for all the work that's gone into making this possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
Mm is hard to know some people got a secure element broke,not being able to use Google wallet back in the gnex forum, and that's why they recommend clearing before doing anything else, better be safe then sorry
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] getontarget:
I had an error with adding the $10 prepaid card. Found out that you have to mount r/w in order to change build.prop. After I changed that, I had to go into recover and clear cache and dalvik cache before reopening the wallet app. Worked after that. Good luck.;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thcaddict:
Already made sure root explorer was in r/w mode before editing build.prop. root explorer wont actually open the file to allow you to edit unless it is in r/w mode already.

Dude i used rom toolbox lite its free i went to build.prop editor then the little pencil on top rite corner. Edit your build.prop and all u have to do is hit the save thing on top right corner (looks like a memory card?) Anyways hit that it will say it saved then go into recovery reflash the google wallet mod boot up and try to activate once everything is good and your cards are a go. Change build.prop back
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahfu25:
Weird issue. I downloaded the zip files and put them in my root folder. When I go into recovery they aren't there. Then I check in root explorer and for sure..they're not there...Any one else experience this. ..btw I'm on att

The error you got (in the logcat) is the same one you get when you try to activate the card when you haven't changed your build.prop

Can you post a screen shot of the build.prop (where you made the changes)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thcaddict:
havent used the rom toolbox lite but i did edit the build.prop with root explorer and i know it saved because once i flashed the files thru recovery once i rebooted i checked the build.prop just to see if it was still modified and sure enough the edit i made was still there, so technically it should be working, but still getting the add card error :confused:

Will do. In just a minute, because I restored to my original nandroid prior to trying wallet. The process I am using to edit build prop is Open Root Explorer, grant SU access, go into /system, mount r/w, click and hold on build.prop, then select "open in text editor", scroll all the way to the bottom, add the 3 strings, hit the menu button and select "save and exit", then I reboot into recovery and flash the two files. am i leaving something out or doing something wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metups:
Is there any problem with just keeping the modded build.prop around, maybe by renaming it to build.prop2 and then just swapping it in when reinstalling the wallet apk? I don't know, I just find it a bit tedious to edit that file...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thcaddict:
here is the screenshot of the build.prop
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
Really? It's quite easy in Root Explorer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
ahhh. That's it. One minute and I will upload a pic

No but add a period like build.prop.2

I rename the extra one to build.prop.bkk

Then if I mod the original it won't conflict with .bak
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thcaddict:
LOL i figured out the problem. I have been ADDING those 3 strings to my build.prop all the way at the bottom. Didnt realize i have to instead, make changes to the existing strings towards the top. After editing the strings at the top of build.prop i finally was able to get it to activate my google prepaid card. Already reverted back to original build.prop and about the make a nandroid. Thanks alot guys for helping me troubleshoot this issue. Can't believe i was doing it wrong all that time. I was getting quite frustrated lol

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

So everytime we want to add a new card we have to mod the build.prop again, correct? Then after adding the new card, revert back to the original build prop?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
I see you got it, but in case anyone else is unclear
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ddmac:
If you are putting the zip file at the root of the internal sdcard, you should be able to find your zip located at /data/media when in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
Yay i got it to work and revert back to original build prop... All is well now!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
Non zip files won't show up in recovery...whatever browser you used to download them knocked that off. Add .zip to the end in root explorer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thcaddict:
Are you sure you are in the right folder? On my S3 the Internal Storage folder is named /sdcard but the external sd card is /extsdcard.... so make sure you are in the right folder, and they should be there if you downloaded/transferred correctly

Just a reminder, there's a video in my signature for those that need it. I haven't added the update part, but at least it will get you as far as making a purchase. ;)

Feel free to add it to the OP, if you want. No worries if not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metups:
Sure, Root Explorer is what I use, too. My eyes aren't that good any more, and the text is pretty small, so it is less easy for me to edit.

Nice work. I will add it. Thanks

Btw, wiping the cache and dalvik is not necessary, the script in the zip already does this. But meh, doesn't matter

how do i switch roms after getting wallet working?

hello, would i back it up with TB or do i have to go thru all the process all over again? (changing build prop)

hate to sound like a noob. im greatful for all the hard work i really appreciate it.

thanks!

also are wicket roms and cm9 nightlys the only roms this works with?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
Read the op again. Do NOT use TB!!!

This mod/fix is intended for touchwiz (stock) roms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acloaf:

Thanks to OP for making it so easy.

The transaction didn't show up in my transaction history in the Google wallet app. Any idea how long it takes to show up? I tapped the phone when it was time to pay and it beeped, then the card machine printed out a receipt with a transaction number and seemed to work smoothly, but nothing in the transaction history yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Mine have shown up almost immediately.

Also, stopped at Petco to pick up the dog some treats since they use Paypass and was able to use my Discover Card through Google Wallet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arts711:
if i were to install the new one on its own without previously installing the old one, can just change the build.prop and install the patched version? or do i have to do steps 1-10? It just seems like the first steps only apply to the older version and I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks,

Impossible to add a creditcard

I'm on a tmobile phone and I can install successful Google wallet. I followed all the steps exactly what and I'm able to add the prepaid card and also my funds are showing up, and so far no problem.

But I'm trying to add a credit card for days now. I see my cards showing up in the app that I added online. After a long time waiting I just get a notice unable to add card please try again later.

Clearing cache is no use. The adding the card in the app itself does work either.

Does someone have a suggestion?

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
the "old version" also includes the libs you will need for wallet to work. So no, there are no short cuts

you may need to have the mod build.prop to add additional cards

It might be helpful for the OP to add some clear information for flashing ROM updates and maintaining the integrity of Google Wallet.

Based on what I can gather, this *should* work but I have not tested it. Simply putting this process out there for discussion. This assumes a working GW install (app runs, cards added, purchasing tested, etc). The process should support Touchwiz -> AOSP conversions and vice-versa, provided the proper Google Wallet zip is flashed.

Reset Google Wallet (Settings -> Reset Google Wallet)

Nandroid. May not be absolutely required, but you should have a nandroid with a working google wallet stashed away just as a safety.

Flash ROM update (nightly, new ROM, etc) and other ancillary zips (gapps, kernel, etc).

(Only if factory reset (/system reformat) performed by either user or script) Flash com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6-1.zip Is it necessary to also flash the appropriate wallet-sgs3-* zip prior?

Reboot. DO NOT restore Google Wallet app or app+data using Titanium Backup.

Open and sign into Google Wallet. The current Wallet version should restore all cards, prepaid balances, etc without the build.prop hack as this data is synced to the cloud correct?

Again, this isn't tested, but if I had to flash and had the stones this is at least what I would try. Just want to get my idea out and let those with more knowledge of the subject pick it apart and eventually get it merged into the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seaskimmer:
For those having problems with the device showing as "htc_jewel" in the play store, here is what I did.

I used a pre-wallet install Titanium backup of play store and simply restored the data for the app. This reverted the phone to being correctly identified as a SGH-I747M. Alternatively, you could just wait for a play/phone sync. I waited the first time around and it took around 4 days before the phone fixed itself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
-for touchwiz roms, they DO NOT (by default) have the correct working libs, so if you flash a new rom (touchwiz) then you will need the original zip(with libs) + the updated google wallet zip.

-for cm9/10 the libs are right so you will only need the patched wallet

*note, it is possible that some rom chefs are adding the correct libs into there touchwiz roms, should be in their op pointing this out

Paul is returning from vacation tomorrow, I will post a new zip with his patched wallet that will work on all touchwiz phones and may or may not solve citi problems
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tefloncoated:
Has anyone experienced an issue where the NFC just stops working? The check box is still ENABLED in settings, but the NFC tags are not being read. This happens with screen off or on (i have the fix enabling NFC with the screen off installed). I have to disable and re-enable NFC in the settings to make it work again and be able to read the same tag. Then, after a period of time, NFC stops working again and i have to repeat the process. Seems this started happening after i installed and set up the Google Wallet fix... Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] airtower:
Ok, so the com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6-1.zip is the current wallet-only zip? I don't need the libs on CM10, but good to point out for those on stockish roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
yes,, this was never an issue about installing wallet...but getting it to work on touchwiz.

wallet has always* worked on cm9/10, this thread wasn't about that but the "aosp guys" kept coming here (thats why I added a aosp zip) if you open it up, it is just a flashable wallet.

I think people are skipping the whole op and just going to the downloads, if you read the the top of the op "background" it sheds some light on what is going on

update and op cleanup coming in the next couple days

haven't heard, but it looks like wallet doesn't like the screen off enable

Hi ogdobber,

I just pm'd you my logcat.

Thank you in advance.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] airtower:
Wallet installed from play store and executed on CM9/10, but it would not pass the carrier check. "Sorry, Google Wallet is not available for your device" or something to that effect. This was on AT&T, other carriers may have encountered different issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peterkef:
Ogdobber,

I pm'd you the good logcat.

Sorry the previous was wrong.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
again that is cm9/10 and to get past the "Sorry, Google Wallet is not available for your device" all it takes is a build.prop edit

on touchwiz roms, you could install just the same and get past that error as well. but you could never add a card because the libs did not have SmartMX enabled

the patched google wallet apk is not necessarily needed in the US. but it does get rid of that "device not supported" banner on the top for rooted phones
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Tried that, no go for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] airtower:
Got ya, thanks for clearing that up. Would a build.prop edit be necessary again after a factory reset?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
From what I've seen, the build.prop edit is needed whenever you want to add cards whether it be just adding an additional card or after a resetting the app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lynseyw:
So noob questions:

1. Do you have to reset the app if you are doing a dirty install rom?

2. Do you have to reset the app if flashing a kernel?

1-no, since there is no wipe (data) it will be good to go. However, unless the rom dev has added the smx enabled libs, you are going to lose functionality (unless on cm) you would then need to perform steps 1-10

-NO! titanium + google wallet = problems

never, never, never!

if you are going to restore data with TB, reset wallet, and never restore wallet data

today i made my first purchase with this app. it worked like a charm with no lag or anything but the guy said i had to do it twice. did it the first time and phone vibrated and wallet popped up but i did nothing else. second time he had me do it I had to press "confirm" on his CC machine. thinking the reason it didnt go thru the first time was becasue i didnt hit the confirm button on his machine. but the weird thing is now when i go into my transaction history on the phone it pulls up 1 transaction but doesnt say the amount, where it was purchased or anything. just says that info isnt available. yet it DID deduct from my balance so I know it went through... any ideas?

just tried going to the official wallet site but it would not let me enter my account without first adding a CC, and i'm not wanting to do that atm. just using the $10 google gifted me with. still would like to see if the actual transaction info will be listed on the official site

UPDATE: Trying to add my debit card via the app on my phone and it will not allow me to do so. It keeps freezing and force closing everytime I hit the "next" button after entering my card info. Tried adding my card from the website and it let me do that but now i cant configure it so that wallet sees my debit card. I modified my build.prop before entering my debit info, didnt work.. so i tried wiping cache/dalvik and still got the same result. Is there a method to adding a card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tefloncoated:
Yep, looks like it has to do with the Wallet. The Wallet timeout seems to affect the NFC availability, even with the check box selected (NFC enabled). When the conditions are met (NFC is enabled but after a time out period it stops working) opening/enabling Google Wallet restores the NFC functionality in both screen on and screen off modes.

Questions to the Developers: Is this anything that can be fixed easily via modifying a settings/system file(s)?

UPDATE: Re-flashed the NFC hack over the Google wallet hack, i thought it worked but... after about an hour NFC doesnt connect, same story
