I updated my wallet a few weeks ago without problems, can I continue to update it? Its eligible right now.

I used the script method and flashed the app.

My phone still thinks its a nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
hmmm maybe it doesnt affect AOKP. As long as the line isn't there, its fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeyhihi:
I followed the directions for if you're already running a Touchwiz based ROM, and now my phone won't reboot... It'll bring up the SAMSUNG splash screen and the splash screen that comes with the Synergy custom ROM, but that's it. I don't think I messed up the instructions.

Apparently I'm still able to boot into recovery so I'm just going to update to the latest version of Synergy and forget about Google wallet until a ROM pops up where I don't need to mess around too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Check again, @amt897 was runing stock and he got it work. this is using is method basically.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
Google wallet has been stuck on adding wallet the. Eventually says adding card failed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Try it with the nexus, I reverted my change. D2spr has been giving issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
Before at least the google card added now even the google is stuck at adding
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbzcar:
Got it added and all my cards showed up, but my Google Prepaid card says Balance Unavailable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
reset it if its available. And uninstall and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
Your issue is probably that you used adb to edit build.prop, which removes the permissions from the file. Use Root Explorer to do the editing and it'll solve your soft brick issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
yea didnt think of that. @amt897 mind taking over stock bases questions for me since I refuse to touch stock any more :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
With respect to the op/dev.....

I've been on this other thread for the last few day's as they got this method to work well, and one of the users released a root patch for wallet It fixes the, (unsupported device at the top) issue.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
I used the patched new wallet version last night.

My steps were (all done with Root Explorer):

1) Copy real build.prop to SD card (for backup)

2) Modify build prop to show Galaxy Nexus values

3) Copy modified build.prop to SD card (for backup)

4) Paste patched Google Wallet apk to system/apps

5) Reboot

6)Profit!!!

I don't know if it ACTUALLY works, but my check card automatically showed up due to being inked to my online wallet. It also added that card successfully. I also added the Google Prepaid card and got the $10.

Looks to me that the way it works now is that it actually uses the Google Prepaid card to make the purchase. At the same time though it's charging the card you ACTUALLY want to pay with to load up the prepaid card.

My card shows. I can edit it. It shows selected.

The problem being if you flash ROM's and what not you have to make sure that you wipe data from the wallet app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Yeah....make a backup of you're nandroid that has Google Wallet working......that way you can reset it just in case you need too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WarlockLord:
Sounds like you don't have the right NFC libs installed.... you have to get a rom that supports them or pull them from a sprint (updated) rom and push them to the phone and repair permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
I have been stuck on adding card forever when I try to add my personal card any one why I tried all I could find
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistmycap:
Worked like a charm on stock rooted.

Thank you much!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] houseboatwayne:
Well I didn't bork my device. This worked for me. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtLemacks:
Were you guys on TouchWiz based ROM's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
For those that are asking, yes, you must leave it as the Nexus device or change it to a device in Build.prop that can use wallet. Otherwise, wallet will not run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Thanks, this method still works though. I just CONFIRMED it worked at a chevron by me, bought two monsters and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] quattr0:
Read 2 posts above yours :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
I saw that. I'm not on stock though so I'm still cautious about the update. The wallet app is modified

Running AOKP. Last update I performed was on paranoid Android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mr_bungalow:
My wallet app updated yesterday. I used it at the gas station last night with no problems . I haven't changed my build.prop away from nexus though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khtims:
Did you get an "Unsupported device" warning at the top of Google Wallet once updated? I'm seeing that but I changed my build.prop back to original. Then I put it back to Galaxy Nexus for the update. I have not changed back yet again to original but I get that Unsupported Device warning now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jrc27:
If you are rooted, that is why you are getting the warning
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khtims:
So is this still going to work fine with the warning?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jrc27:
that is what everyone is saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Yes, clicking on the unsupported message brings up talking about root. I guess the update is fine to install. I would make an updated version but if people can just use market from here on out we might as well do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
I have a quick question, I'd like to give Google Wallet a shot, but I have the Otter Box commuter case for the GS3, are there any known issues with using NFC+Google Wallet with a case? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Works fine just leave it on the scanner for like 2 seconds. Its just slower a bit. But I was using a defender.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zxsix:
That won't work for me. I use goomanager for notification of updates and downloading cm10 nightlies.

If I leave build prop set to nexus, it breaks goomanager. Not to mention having to edit build prop every time I update the rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] c4v3man:
Installed on beans v13. Installed fine after modifying build.prop. Updated to latest wallet from market, still worked but claimed unsupported device. Restored build.prop and can no longer open the program.

Reedited build.prop, and it works again...

Looks like the last person to use the d2spr name/device was september 15th. Has anyone tried that with the latest wallet? What do you set the phone model to in that instance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
the script method goes back to stock, then back to nexus in literally less than 10 seconds.

read the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Yes, that is correct. The script method is the way to go :). I am taking the MIT online Java class, and hope to have an app out soonish. I tried to make one already but my limited coding experience was restraining me. I hope to have something out sooner or later before our contracts are all up.................

0 ETA, for now.

I do have plans to expand the script method, and I think a Script + app combo is more than likely possible for me to do with my knowledge. Basically my current plans are as follows.

Create App with a simple button that launches a shell script located on sdcard. AKA One-click install Wallet, modify build.prop, reboot, run app again, click again, modifies build.prop back to stock.

Sounds Complicated but it isnt........ sorry I am writing things instead of not doing them, I am truly in love with the idea of Wallet and I will always maintain this thread :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
I think I can speak for everyone when we say we appreciate the work you and all the other devs do.

Much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Before certain members get grumpy.... I'm by no means a "dev" I am an enthusiast of android, Linux, technology and coding. I do what I enjoy and share with others. It makes me glad to hear others have similar mind sets and appreciate my work. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
That would be terrible because I like to revery back my original build when im done setting up. Id rather the apps read the actual phone im using.

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Im sorry, I dont quite understand what you mean.......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
I dont like to keep my build.prop on the nexus I want it on my original galaxy s3 build and I can't update from the market with the original because it doesn't supoort this phone so it doesn't show up in the app store. There I would hope they would still continue to mod the app to be able to flash it otherwise you'll have to always have your build.prop changed for good to run it

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Wait, your flashing updated files and not resetting old wallet? You should be.......

You'd have to change the build.prop anyway, but I guess I'll continue making zips.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
No where did you get any of this from? I never said anything like that. I said I dont like to keep my build.prop on the nexus build. I want it in my original so I setup wallet and then change it back to my original.

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Im still confused.... haha I havent slept in like 20 hours and I just nabbed BF3 for 7.50 on PC so my brain is fried :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hippoman13:
I definitely would use Google Wallet, but to what degree does enabling NFC to constantly be on affect battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
Ok so when you get to the step where you have to go into the system folder and change your build.prop so it reads the Nexus to setup the wallet app. Many people just leave it as the Nexus build.prop and i dont like to do that. I like to change it back to the I535. That is what i was talking about because if the zips stop being made and the only way to take the update is to go through the market i wont be able to do it. I would have to change my build.prop to the Nexus because once you update from the market ive heard from many it'll work but once you change your build.prop back to the I535 then wallet will tell you its not available on your device and will not let you opening the app.

I was always worried about this but I've had this mod of wallet on my phone my since the day it came out and still get great battery life. I only turn on the nfc portion. I keep android beam and the other nfc settings off

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Oh okay I gotcha, sorry lack of sleep watching LoL world playoffs. SO yea, the latest version hasnt been modded yet so I will post it once it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
Thank you sir

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
I love how everytime a new update comes out, someone makes a new thread....... and it usually doesnt work...........

Updating my guide in a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Nice going to try this out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertec:
I failed to reset my google wallet before flashing and now whenever I try to run google wallet it just keeps spinning on the adding account screen. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
So for those of us who flash nightly ROM's like CM10 that have wallet up and running, how do we keep from disabling and re-installing, editing build prop, etc. every time we flash? I have been told that dirty flashing will not effect your google wallet, but every time I dirty flash wallet is gone on re-boot. All other google apps are still there.

Is this because we flash wallet in CWM? I see it installs itself in system/app. Is that the problem? Can I just copy it to /data???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shinjielric:
Its because its flashed into /system and that gets formatted every ROM flash. If it was saved into /data it would survive ROM flashes. Dunno if you can just copy/paste the apk. Worth a shot tho. I'll be back with my results.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Seems to be working good. Tho I haven't tried to make a payment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Did you just move it, or did you copy it and leave it in system and then flash a ROM? I really am skiddish about screwing up my secure element:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shinjielric:
I moved it. Haven't done a flash yet. Gonna do that when tonights cm10 nightly to come out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
I'm still looking into an app to do it all guys. I'm out of town this weekend and several papers and essays due so rather busy. Will spend some time tomorrow messing with it.

Would you all like a script that downloads and install wallet and modifies build prop at the same time? Than after just reboot and set up wallet. Still gonna have to reinstall because I don't think sy links work for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shinjielric:
So yaaaa. Flashed a new ROM and it broke wallet. Dident bust my element. So copying the .APK from /system to /data does not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
I did this then put my build.prop back, it now says Wallet not supported. Changed back to Nexus and it's supported again. How can I keep this supported and keep my original build.prop for my other downloads? Also, how DO you reset security? Or whatever it is you call it.

Edit: Figured out the reset. I was looking in the wrong area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Oh well, it was worth a try. Thanks for that!!!. Now we know that will not work. Until we get a system in place for chronic flashers, we can just do it the hard way - reset wallet, flash ROM, change build prop, reboot, flash modaco wallet, reboot, set up wallet, return build prop with original values.

Not the worst thing in the world, but a pita anyway. Hopefully Tonu will come up with something soon.

---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 AM ----------

I flashed the AOSP modaco version and modify the build prop manually to the Galaxy Nexus - I am using CM10 nightlies. After I set up wallet, I get a notification that an update is available from the Play Store. I ignore it and then change my build prop back to the original values. The notification to update never comes back, and I don't have that annoying "device not supported" either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
Yea it says update because the current modded version of the wallet were using is the last version. When you change your build.prop you see apps that you can get on the nexus which is wallet so it says there's an update. Then once you switch back it goes away because its reading your s3 and its not supported.

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Correct, reverting to stock build.prop is needed. I recommend my scripts because it will edit it, and is cross=rom compatible.

Working on an App right now. I hate to do it, but I found a template to run scripts on an android app, so I am working on it right now as I am waiting for sdk to update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
Good work man. Did this last night and up and running. I like the fact that I can just go to gscript and push a button then go to store update ( if there is one ) then go back with one click.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
And I am making it even easier :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
Just used it at the local store. Bought 2 packs of smokes a sub and energy drink. And my phone paid for it. The girl working the counter looked at me like I was stealing so I had to explain. Pretty funny.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Thats funny how she thought you were stealing hahah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shinjielric:
I have to explain wallet to almost every cashier at walgreens/7-11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
But it just makes sense to use it. If u think about it someone can still your card and use it just about anywhere without even showing id . Until u shut it off. So with wallet yes they can steal your phone. But then to use the card they have to know your pin. As well as lock screen and a lot of other security settings before getting to spend your money. Just my 2¢…

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
does changing to a 4.1.2 Rom change anything for wallet users that have got wallet running on their 4.1.1 Roms?

The new OS just started rolling out in roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shinjielric:
4.1.2 is just some performance tweaks and bug fixes. It won't affect how wallet works or how we side load it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
ok, this saved my life lol, i tried using other hacks to get GW to work on jellywiz and no matter what i did, it kept saying my secure element keys weren't released which they were because i had just released them 10 mins prior on CM10, then i flashed this and now its working again, i just have to go buy something at a local store to try it out and verify it.....one thing that did happen, was that i keep getting a "nfc services has stopped" error, anyone else getting that after flashing the latest release?

edit: turning off nfc and going into google play and purchasing something still throws up a lot of nfc service has stopped errors as well, not sure what's causing it

edit 2: it seems to be anything google product related, such as gmail, and g+
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davidnc:
Is this the newest version of the Wallet? It updated on Oct 3rd

So I guess even if this isnt the newest version of wallet it still works on the S3 ?

I have not yet installed wallet on my S3 and running CleanRom2.5 so figure I would use the TW version of this wallet.

The reason if this I ask is because I have the newest version of the wallet on my nexus and that version is 1.5-R81-v4.

Thanks :)

Edit:nvermind got it ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mark-in-dallas:
Yes, I had the same issues running JellyWiz RS9: Turn off wifi and data taransfer and the nfc force closes stop. But, I resolved the force closes by reinstalling and using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921233
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
So for whatever reason my NFC option became grayed out. I am looking for a fix for it and will let everyone know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
i had that happen to me, i was given this reply http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32642134&postcount=2 i tried it and it didn't work for me, but maybe it might for you....CM10 will not let me use NFC anymore for whatever reason so i had to perma-switch back over to TW roms....you could try using odin and flashing root66 stock and then reinstalling the rom you're on, that might fix the issues if the link doesn't work for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
I just used my "wallet" at 2 different locations and the transactions history does not show. I have receipts saying I paid. Did I just get things for free? I have used it at one of these locations before and it was there right after.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] millerd79:
I had the same issue. What fixed it for me was restoring to a stock rom, turning the nfc option on, rebooting into recovery and flashing back to what ever rom you want to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
It's working again for me, but just never on cm10, all other roms work fine lol

Beamed via NFC through the local store to the internet from my SGS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
I did the Nexus build.prop edit and then downloaded Wallet from the Play Store. Because that installed it to /data, I have yet to reset it during a CM10 nightly flash. All I have to do to get it working again is mod the build.prop back to Nexus after the flash.

Note: I also keep an ICS nandroid with functional Wallet just in case something were to go horribly wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
So you must reset your wallet prior to flashing just to be on the safe side?

I tried this method as I had just flashed the latest nightly. It installed fine and I set up my cards but when I reverted back to my original build prop, wallet would not open. I had to go back in and modify the build prop back to galaxy nexus and then reset wallet. I am going to flash the modaco version again, it was working great. Just a pain to set up everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
Is this the most up to date wallet? Still looks like an older version...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yukonhijack:
I am running Clean Rom 2.5, and had wallet installed and working until last night. Today it says that my device is not supported and will not operate. I reinstalled it from the playstore after changing my build.prop to the Galaxy Nexus and added my cards/account, etc. just fine. When I returned the build.prop to the stock build.prop, it will not work again. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
You are supposed to reset your secure element each time you change ROMs. If your secure element gets borked from not doing it, you run the risk of never being able to use it again. But if you keep a nandroid around with a fully configured Wallet setup, a restore to that will allow the reset to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
yeah, same here, i can't modify it back because it force closes on me every single time, but when i leave my build.prop unmodified after installing wallet, it works flawlessly

edit: i had to use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921233 to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmdrdredd:
After hours of trying to get Wallet to work with varying results. Some NFC errors once, stuck on adding account, stuck on adding cards etc. I finally just did this and quit fooling around with modified apks and system mods etc. This actually seems to work for me and I would never have thought it be so simple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Hmm...... that is actually a smart idea haha, I never thought to think that the Play edition installs it to data. Maybe there is a way I can setup my scripts so it flashes the modified version to /data so you only have to flash my files once.... that would make life easier hahah.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
Yep. It doesn't bother me that the store thinks I have a Nexus. I'm running CM10 anyway, so it won't offer me any apps I don't want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zxsix:
Apparently none of you guys use goomanager to get notified of and download new roms. Impersonating nexus via build.prop breaks that functionality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
I use GooManager on my TF700, but manually download updates to CM10 from good old IE10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Sorry if this has been asked. I went through about 30 pages and got tired. I keep getting the "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image" message. Could anybody tell me what im doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
if you're using a touchwiz based rom, then you might not have the right libs for it, if that's the case then modify your build.prop to match this and download/flash the file thats on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921233 and it should work for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Used the Sprint build prop. It was much easier thanks anyway.
