I think I will wait for you to update the Wallet installer to try the new wallet again (since I don't know how to do it myself:o)

To go back and get a functional wallet, do I just uninstall the newest version and then run Wallet installer again?

EDIT: Let me get this straight.....IF I decided to give the new Wallet another go would I:

1. Get Wallet running as it was

2. Copy and rename the build.prop

3. Install the new Google Wallet

4. Paste in the "saved" build.prop and restore its original name

5. Voila....Google Wallet up and running?

Is this correct? If so, where is build.prop located?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
It will probably take me a while :/ There will be no update needed though, I'll just swap the modded apk's out on my server. I'll update the OP when it happens : ) And yes, just remove that version and run my installer. Just be sure that you have a stock build.prop before doing so.

Edit:

If you want the new version now, run Wallet Installer, then go to the market and install the update. Just make sure to leave the modified build.prop in place. I'm not sure if you'll be able to make purchases though. I think you will be able to, but I haven't tried it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
I guess I don't "uninstall" it? I think my S3 views it as a system app? Is that right? If not, how do I uninstall it before running wallet installer again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
You just need to delete it with a file manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjmiller:
The about screen from wallet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Im gonna try it. Where is build.prop located?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
It is located in system folder. You will need a file explorer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjmiller:
If you are not comfortable doing this, you should wait. If you mess up the build.prop you can soft brick the phone. I got the file permissions wrong this afternoon, and couldn't boot my phone. Fortunately I was able to fix it with adb.

Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
I certainly don't understand what build.prop is but I gotta learn somehow! I can always fix a softbrick through TWRP.

I found the build.prop in RootExplorer and can copy it to another location.

Right now, I have used TiBu to uninstall the non-functional GW, then I reinstalled Wallet Installer and let it do its thing. After that, Play Store immediately installed an update. Now I have the newest GW installed and running but I know if I restore the prop build I will have a non-functional GW again. So....

What changes do I need to make to the prop.build/what do I need to do to get GW working again? And...out of curiosity - if GW is working now, why wouldn't I just leave everything as-is and just not restore the build.prop using Wallet Installer?

I appreciate your help.....I know I'm asking alot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
There are 3 lines in the build.prop that have to be changed. You have to change the build.prop to the sprint one. I have attached the 3 lines that need to be changed, a before and after shot, Sprint is the 2nd one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Thanks for all of the help in figuring this out. I installed Wallet Installer and let it do its thing. Once my phone rebooted, Play Store immediately updated it and now I have the current version and it runs (I will try purchases later today).

I'm starting to understand what the build.prop does and I've looked at it on my phone (I have not yet restored the build.prop using Wallet Installer because this seems to cause Wallet not to work). From, what I understand, Wallet Installer does automatically what the post above describes, correct? So if I've installed via Wallet Installer, there is no need to do the above. AND whether I allow Wallet Installer to rebuild or if I do it manually - GW will cease to work, correct?

If that is all correct - is there any harm in leaving build.prop indicating that I have a GNEX running 4.1.1 when I actually have a GS3 running 4.1.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
There is no harm in leaving it unless you try to download an app specifically made for the gs3, only nexus apps will show up in the market now. That's technically why I use the sprint s3 build.prop because I already have all my VZW apps downloaded and I would rather have the play store resemble an S3 vs a galaxy nexus. Honestly both work well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Left my prop.build alone after running wallet installer and successfully made a purchase with the new wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimmypop13:
Yeah but your phone thinks it's a galaxy nexus now. Also in settings, you'll noticed the sliding buttons that used to say on and off now have a 0 and a 1

Can you start a different thread? I think you may be stepping on someone's toes here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
open1your1eyes0 has a modded wallet apk for the new release, specifically for TouchWiz. I haven't tried it, but if you want an update quicker than I can give, I would recommend giving it a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Thank you jmichaels! I really tried to make it simple and user friendly. If you would be interested in some of my other new projects, send me a pm. I'm in need of testers and feature ideas!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
I sincerely apologize for that. Just wanted to spread the updated Wallet apk for as many people as possible soon as I got it working, but I should have known better. :/ I did not at all mean to take over your credit. I definitely respect your work OP. Have removed my post. Kindly edit yours to remove my link as well. No hard feelings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skateoroma:
I soft bricked my phone the first time because I thought busybox was installed since it's used with Solid Explorer. After installing busybox from play store, I didn't have any issues.

Now I just need to go use it... Thanks for working out all the kinks...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
I understand you wanting to share it as soon as possible, I'm not upset about it! I just like to keep the thread on the main topic, that's all. I would be happy to link to your thread in my OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Certainly sir, feel free to do so if you'd like. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
So I tried the update on my d2vzw using the build.prop edit to the sprint device info and it successfully updated via play store and I was able to make a purchase. After several reboots and cache and dalvik clears I attempted to change the build.prop back to d2vzw status and as I suspected the wallet app would no longer open. So I'm now back on the modded version in the OP which of course works wonderfully!!! As usual!!!

I'll be waiting patiently for a modded version of the updated wallet to hit before my next update!!

Thanks again OP!!! YOU'RE WORK ROCKS!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vudugan:
I decided to give this another go, got it all setup but haven't tried a purchase yet. Has anyone encountered an issue with Exchange mail not receiving data after install? The first time I tried, on a Saturday and noticed the problem with Exchange the following Monday. Yesterday I installed again and today I didn't receive any Exchange mail data but both times would send mail. I had to remove Exchange Account and re-add to get working. Just me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Haha thank you! : ) I can't promise anything real soon, but I will have some more time now that I finished my other project! I won't leave you guys hanging for too long : )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scoutzilla:
I'm also looking for info on Jelly Bean 9, I have JB8 installed and used the Google Wallet Installer to get GW working just fine.

I'm wondering what steps I need to do to update to Jelly Bean 9 and still have GW.

I'm a rookie rooter!

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] htim95:
Idk if this has been posted bofore but when i use this to install i lose all OTHER NFC functionality. Wallet will run fine and i can buy stuff in store, but I cant use android beam or NFC tags at all. Is there a way to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
I've actually never heard of that happening. Try toggling NFC on and off, then reboot. If that doesn't work, try wiping the dalvik cache via recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] htim95:
ill test it when i get home
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] htim95:
neither fixed the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fafinaf:
Love this app. Bought it from market on my device as well as my brothers and dads. Any chance of updating to newest wallet? Not rushing or anything and definitely not trying to sound demanding! Just wondering since your app is so easy to use :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Hey fafinaf! I remember you, you were the first person to try it : ) Anyways, yes, I do plan on upgrading the wallet to the new release. It may only be a few more days until then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scoutzilla:
ROM update

Once Google Wallet is installed and working. What steps does one take to update to a new ROM.

I have read that TBU does not play well with Google Wallet.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
This has been covered multiple times. Simply reset wallet, and then flash to the new ROM, and then run my Installer again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
No need to reset wallet anymore. I've been switching roms over and over, and never did a reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcarterny:
I would say its phone to phone because myself had wallet working made purchases and forgot to back it up. Now I've tried everything on the internet to restore it and nothing works for me. Also I have a galaxy nexus also and wallet works fine so I know its a phone issue. It will never activate a card. So bottom line is do it the safe way or have a nandroid with it working before you flash something different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
When you switch roms without resetting, do you install wallet and your cards just show up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aerichards1977:
If it won't add cards, try going online to google wallet and reset your device there. Because you switched ROM's it won't actually reset but it will allow you to add cards again. I have had to do this multiple times. This always seems to fix any problems if you forget to reset and it won't work right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcarterny:
I've tried everything I could find and no luck. Could just be my phone but like I said better safe and resetting than being stuck. That's all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
OK gotta say this, today went to the bp(gas station) on my way to work, brought something paid with Google wallet, the guy said how did you do that I said what he said pay with your phone I said oh with Google wallet my phone has NFC, he said can my phone do that? I said what kind do you have? he said I have an iPhone.I said no you cannot. He said your sure? I said I'm positive , he asked me is there an app like Google wallet so I can pay with my phone I said no iPhone has no NFC chip yet. He said I'm gonna look for an app that can do what your phone does... I laugh I said let me know if you find it.... He was amaze his phone couldn't do that... i said yup... This is a Samsung Galaxy s3 no iPhone.... When i left, he was looking for it. Felt good to use Google wallet which I rarely use, being not that many stores carry the machine to do it. Any way thought I share that funny little story..

stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonie01:
Question. Does the machine actually have to say Google wallet or just have the NFC icon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
You can use this to locate them in your area, does not say neither Google wallet or anything of the sort has to say pay pass

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
This is what the machine looked like at the gas station same as this McDonald's one .Picture this but instead of the credit card the phone would be there lol;):D

On a credit card machine you'll see it also say PayPass

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdlopez83:
I think he means at the pump not actually walking in to pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrostic:
Is this persistent through AOSP updates or will I have to wipe data on the app between use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
It depends on how and what is being updated/changed. Your best bet is to reset wallet and uninstall/delete it. Then just reinstall it after the flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:

I had a soft brick after trying to restore build prop in the app. My phone even showed 2 comm's in Odin one failed the other flashed after twice...now it came up as one comm again i flashed root 66 zip and I'm up and running but every time i try to flash a Rom it goes into a bout loop....what can i do to fix this? And don't say it's my Rom I'm not an idiot....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
For future reference, you could have flashed via recovery without the use of Odin. I don't know a thing about root 66, besides that it causes issues. I would recommend Odin flashing to a non-rooted, stock Samsung ROM, and starting from scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] muddychief:
I have wallet working.perfectly on my phone. I saw a wallet update in the play store. I installed it while I still had my build.prop set for flashing wallet and the updated wallet had a small line if text saying I was using an unsupported device. Went on to say that some people use root permissions to circumvent....

Has anyone installed the latest version of wallet? I think the version was dated January 29 2013
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Yes, but restoring your build.prop while having the market version installed will cause it to stop working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JCBiznatch:
Is there a thread with a trusted fresh Samsung Rom?

Man I want to do that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Just a heads up, but Wallet Installer will be getting R96 support today or tonight! You will still use the V3 installer. The changes will be on the server side. I will make a post here and in the OP when it happens!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tducote:
Sorry for being the dumb kid in the class, but what exactly is this R96 support you speak of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
The latest version of wallet with correct libs/mods to work on our device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Wallet Installer has been updated on the server side. The credit goes to Paul Obrien for the new version! To install it, simply reset Google Wallet, delete it, and then rerun Wallet Installer! Make sure to also have BusyBox installed/updated!

still have the sd card problem. I need to flash back now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
To those asking about the Sdcard issue, I'm relatively positive that I know the fix. I am having a tester test it later today, so expect an update late tonight or sometime tomorrow if it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] swimdude1120:
Awesome dude! Can't wait! Worked amazing and installed wallet, once storage is fixed you will have one hell of a product! :D

btw Prl91, if you want you can PM the new apk and I can test it later tonight for you.

Update

Just to give an update from my first response. I ended up dirty flashing CR 5.0 and everything went back to normal. I proceeded to use another post's flashable zip for jellybean touchwiz roms where I manually modified my build.prop, flashed the zip, then had somewhat the same problem happen, but this time I ended up having limited access to my internal memory and i kept receiving "NFC has stopped working" errors. At this point, I would assume it has to do with CleanROM 5.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Thanks for the info RussDR! You are correct though, the issue is mainly with JB TouchWiz Roms, especially CleanRom. The fix I found isn't going to make everything perfect for some of you, since the cause falls on your Roms, but it will help most of you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
Installed on clean rom 5 no issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Great! Out of curiosity, was it the full or lite version of the Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
So if your on an ics Rom it should work ok?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
I haven't heard of any issues on ICS TouchWiz, so all should be fine! If not, my fix tonight should solve any issues you have. Post your results!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
I don't think you did. They're still there, you just can't view them until you go to recovery. The fix tonight should cover it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
And is this because you tried this install? not seeing why this is posted in here?(no harm intended)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
Yes this install created theses issues listed

Reinstalled clean 5 and it wiped out yhud install and all works now back to normal

I don't recommend this apk so at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
I don't mean to be rude, but if you read through the thread you would see that the /Sdcard partition isn't wiped at all. It's just a side effect of the build.prop swap which is being changed tonight. I don't appreciate reading that my app isn't recommended when it's the first release and you didn't ask or search for help with the subject.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
Thanks : ) All the credit for this one goes to him though! All I did was make some changes on my server.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tducote:
Again, being the dumb kid in class: how would you suggest deleting the Wallet app? Can't uninstall the standard way as app is seen as a system app, as I'm sure you are aware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
You're fine! Just use a file manager, like root explorer, to delete it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tducote:
Sweet! Thanks for being so helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blazera:
Install success! (TW stock rooted JB 4.1.1)

In order to ensure a clean install, I did the following:

1. Reset my wallet from the previous installation (this took more then 5 minutes for me and I thought I got hung up here, so I decided to kill Wallet using Task Manager and decided to run step 2 to ensure everything was cleared out)

2. Went into Settings > Application Manager and cleared Wallet data

3. Deleted the old Wallet using a root file manager

4. Rebooted into recovery to clear out the caches (regular and dalvik)

(I realize this was likely overkill - call me paranoid.)

From there, I rebooted the ROM, installed the apk, ran the installer, and watched it do its magic. Upon running Wallet the first time after install, it asked to verify my Google account, and after a bit, it came up with my funding source and previous payment history already in place.

Now it's off to Peet's for some coffee! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
It's great seeing users make sure everything worked correctly! It's not paranoid at all. And I'm glad it all worked out well!

I'm not sure if this has already been covered, but after installing wallet with this method (and the Editing build.prop manually method) I lose ALL NFC functionality. I.e. android beam, NFC tags, and wallet. All work before installing wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prl91:
I've heard of that happening to a select few. I think it may be ROM dependent, but I'm not positive of the cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Yeah unfortunately it happens time to time. Happened to me several times in the past. You need to either flash or nandroid a tw rom, enable nfc+sbeam, then re flash your current rom or restore your nandroid to get it back working. The cause has been eluding all of us, but the fix is the only way that works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] storm81456:
Have people tried flashing the NFC libs file from the other wallet install thread to see if that works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Got no impact, once you kill nfc function it's gone. There were some zip "fixes" that were based on that principle, but no go.

Quick question, I just installed google wallet on my verizon gs3 which is running synergy r290. Seems to have worked fine and I was able to add my debit card successfully. Of course have not tried any purchases yet. Am I safe to restore my build prop at this time? I would love to not run into any problems lol. Thanks in advance! Also, can additional cards be added later on with the gs3 build prop?

Btw, this app was awesome op. Donation definitely coming!

In the correct thread now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Good to go. Once it's setup and 1 card is added, you can restore your build. After that the app works as it should, add cards, remove cards, no problem. You just need to do the initial setup with your build changed
