I'll post my experience for everyone. I used some NFC apk's that someone posted earlier for Clean ROM. The ones that came with the ROM I believe. Since then I've flashed Clean ROM 3.0 and in both cases Rite-Aide works just fine.

I've also used mine at a quick stop that worked fine. Funny thing about the quick stop is I didn't put in my pin but the guy handed me a reciept. I noticed when walking out that it was asking for my PIN. I typed it in then got a message to place on the terminal again. I was already out of the store so just pressed cancel. This was several days ago and the transaction still hasn't posted anywhere on my account.

I did notice at Rite-Aide the transaction will not go through unless they press the credit button first. Maybe there is a similar issue at McDonalds. I don't think they have a credit button for the cashier to press.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbiz:
I know with the paypass card system, many stores have to hit a button on their register first... even though the green lights flash because your card connected properly, you'll have to tap it again after they hit the proper button on their side... could be the same situation with some places like Mcdonalds etc... jack in the box for instance is like that... a lot of the time the cashiers can't figure out how to use the machine so they say the paypass system isn't working... so I tell them to hit the paypass button on their register first and it then works every time... I'd see if someone can take a peak at the register at mcdonalds to see if that's not part of this problem...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LegionZero:
Can OP update the first post with better details for ATT users. The process is much simpler and can be found in this thread if you search for "ATT google wallet" also, to avoid the FC (NFC has stopped working) message you must use the default nfc.apk and nfctest.apk, another user has provided those in a download as well in this thread.

Great work to all involved and thanks so much! I got it working with my ATT Note II with CleanROM 3.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bordman:
So awesome a million thanks!

Got it working. I had a nfc crash problem that i resolved but just deleteing repasting and restarting if that helps anyone.

Can't wait to give it a try!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mejori:
ok i finally was able to get it to work at mcdonalds!!! when i placed it on the machine i immediately told the cashier that she might have to accept the transaction on her screen, and she did..and it worked!!! no error at all!!!

this was at a mcdonalds in a gas station if it matters!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flame Red:
Just tried it at CVS which has PayPass. Started NFC, Started Wallet, put in PIN, then selected the card to use. Worked great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhigh:
wouldnt work for me at shop rite. kept saying ask cashier if it went thru. they were trying to help and tried different register but it aint working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Worked without a glitch at a vending machine and at Mc Donald's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrodri29:
Ive successfully set GW on my phone but I keep getting those fc when I open up camera or gallery. I had done a backup of the original nfc and nfc.test apks and when restored I keep getting them. Also I have the other two nfc.apk and nfc.test.apk from that zip file but my question is if I should resplace the original with the ones from the zip file. Thanks in advance

This is not to steal anyone's Thunder.

We are all trying to accomplish the same thing. I also have a thread started in the app forum. Noone has reported a failure yet. It basically flashes all the same things you are manually changing to avoid any hiccups. Again, I'm not high jacking the thread here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrodri29:
I reflash my rom and then went ahead and flashed the zip file following the steps and google wallet set up. Only problem is that I did this more than 3 time (because for some reason, GW kept doing some weird force close and had to start over again) and now when I try to add the card keep getting an error message. Also when I open camera, gallery and other apps I get the nfc force close.

Heres a pic of the error on google wallet. I think I exceeded my set up amounts for the day

Went to the thread you opened up in the apps section, and I have no more force closes. Wallet still not adding the cards (I think I exceeded the daily limit of set ups) I will wait some 24 hours and report back

Used at McDonalds and Cashier stopped after GW recorded the transaction on my phone and said "Whoa! What was that?" Made me stop and verify if the transaction went thru...that's when the receipt printed out and he got all confused.

I will note that after I tapped the phone on the paypass system, I did get the prompt to enter my pin and after doing so I was told to put it back on to complete.

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------

I believe the steps called for replacing the nfc files which is what I did and I do not get any force close. Also, did you remember to set permissions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrodri29:
Thanks for answering. Yes I did, but I fixed it. Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
There has been a lot of confusion here and I don't know what I should do. Hard to get an answer because so many conversations are going on, but I will try again.

Running completely stock ROM (rooted). I followed the video in the OP step by step and doesn't work in the two places I tried (MCD and CVS). I have seen where people say I need to replace NFC files, but I don't think I need to do that on stock do I???

I am getting the error to have the Cashier check if the transaction went through.

Anyway, I would appreciate help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnadeau15:
Sorry for the delay in response. Yes I have used gw in multiple locations and it had worked great. Best buy, McDonalds, and at wallgreens pharmacy. All worked flawlessly.

Anyone having trouble when setting the build.prop back to stock. I get the same stupid message (Not supported on your device/carrier...)?

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

I would try replacing the NFC files (.apk's) and setting the right permissions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Can someone please gimme the stock nfc apps from the the stock ROM. i deleted them and tried to restore the older one's as the google wallet setup failed on me. How many are there in system/app what permissions are they set to? please respond asap i am getting constant FC's to where i have to turn off the phone.:crying::(

I forgot to mention that i did delete the files that i merged with other folders under system but have replaced them. Can someone shoe me the whole undo processe of this.

Update: fixed;):angel::o:p

Tried redoing all the steps. Google Wallet works, but still getting "android is upgrading" every boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrodri29:
For those having the failed message while trying to add the cards do this. in order to get thru adding the cards successfully, go to google wallet online, remove the existing cards. Then open the google wallet app on the phone, remove all info and re-add the cards

My google wallet will not reset...what should i do....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Does anyone know if the modded Google Wallet NFC files interfere with the new OTA Update issued today. I am on complete stock root with root ONLY. I can't seem to update when other people with complete stock and root are able. So I am possibly thinking these files have to do with something.....

I also cannot receive the update...idk what i should do. I tried resetting my wallet and it wont reset the apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reubendevries:
Did steps 1 - 3 with no problems, after that not so much luck

After I reboot, I can't seem find wallet in my App Drawer, I've double checked everything, double checked permissions. Rebooted twice still didn't work, on the third reboot I went into TWRP and wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache. It still doesn't pop up in App Drawer... so does anybody have suggestions, I'm have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on Rogers (SGH-I317M) but I've loaded [ROM][12/21][N7105XXDLL1 4.1.2] Best International Stock ROM for i317 and i317M, so I'm running that, and I think that might be the issue, if I need to restore or do something let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Are you reseting thru the Google Wallet App or the phones Appllication Manager under the settings? Also try adjusting the date and time under settings to 1-2+ (uncheck the automatic date and time set)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Anyone else who got the latest update and setup GW getting nfc force close when opening the play store?

Edit: Fixed this by copying back the stock nfc and nfctest apk's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] malinois16:
Yes this is a known problem with 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
So I am hoping for directions to do this on a Stock rooted AT&T phone running 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Followed the exact steps but instead of replacing the nfc and nfctest apk...left the stock files in place. Basically do not copy the nfc.apk and nfctest.apk from the zip to /system/app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Have you tested it yet?

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Also, what directions are you following, since the first post in this thread doesn't mention replacing NFC files that I see. I want to make sure I follow the most correct directions this time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Yes...used it at McDonalds this morning.

The first post did not mention it explicitly but it did say to download the zip file, extract, and place everything(which includes the files I mentioned) in their respective folders.

After the update though, those files seem to cause problems...so I skipped them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Sigh.... Please forgive me... I did this before flashing and it never worked for me, so I am trying to make sure I understand this completely.

Can you COMPLETELY clarify what I should download and what I should do with what file at what step??? If I skip step #1 how will I use the file in step #4. I would appreciate COMPLETE clarification on what files I should use and where I should get them so that I don't screw up again.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

So to make this a little less work for you, I am going to try to rewrite the original directions a little more clearer and you can comment where appropriate. Double asterisks are looking for clarification.

** 1. Download the attached APK file (I assume we will still need the com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.apk that is in the ZIP file, so I was going to extract it manually, and attach it to my updated post. DO WE NEED that APK file which is located in /system/app of the zip file in the OP????)

2. Next, navigate to your build.prop in your /system and edit it to mirror the Galaxy Nexus.

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

ro.product.device=maguro

3. Reboot

4. Open your app drawer, find the wallet app, from there, set it up, it will say Setting up this will take 5 minutes, you WILL get a force close.

5. From this point navigate to your /system/app and delete the wallet app.

6. Reboot.

7 Open the play store, download wallet, now set everything up, and add a card, once you have registered a card, it will say the app needs to reset. Reset it, and wait. Once you get back to the screen where you can select your account, close the app.

8. Navigate to your /data/app and delete the wallet.apk in there. DO NOT UN-INSTALL IT!!, This is crutial, ONLY DELETE IT

9. Now head back to your downloaded files from this post and paste the modaco R87 wallet apk back into your /system/app, and set the correct permissions, under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok.

10. Reboot.

11. Now open wallet again from the app drawer and set everything up. It should proceed with no errors if you did everything correct.

12. Once setup, reboot again and open the app again to make sure its still working, and your cards are still there.

13. If its still working, you can now change your build.prop back to

ro.product.model=SGH-I317 or SGH-I317M(which ever variant you have)

ro.product.name=t0lteatt

ro.product.device=t0lteatt

If you do not change your build.prop back to stock values, it wll probably break SNote

14. Save the build.prop and exit.

15. Profit.

After reading this post again, I am wondering, should I just delete Nfc.apk and NfcTest.apk from the zip file and then copy all of /system and /META-INF to / of the phone????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Guys... I am getting extremely frustrated, and it seems like no one is willing to help, or seeing my pleas for help (there have been many).

PLEASE NOTE.... I LIVE 15 MILES from the nearest place to test this (round trip). This isn't exactly around the block from me, so I REALLY need some clear and concise help getting this to work. This is my second attempt at doing this (after a full wipe and upgrade to 4.1.2 I tried again) and both times I am getting the exact same result (pictured below this post). PLEASE NOTE, I would like this to work without having to wipe my device again, so please let me know what file(s) I need to delete to either restart this process or whatever.

I am going to list the OP step by step and the results I saw. I am hoping SOMEONE can please help me, because this has been quite an ordeal.

ORIGINAL POST (listed step by step).

Ok this step is really badly written IMO, but here is what I did. Using Root Explorer I extracted all of the files which extracted to /sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Extracted. Two directories were extracted (with files and directories under them) - /system and /META-INF.

I deleted the two NFC files in /sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Extracted/system/app as per this post -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36004767&postcount=265

I then copied /sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Extracted/system and /sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Extracted/META-INF to /

Every file that I pasted from the zip file to / (so every subfile in /system and /META-INF I went into the pasted copy and changed permissions to 3 checks in the first column and 1 in the second.

Self explanatory. Did through Root Explorer text editor

ok

Took 1-2 minutes but DID NOT FORCE CLOSE, instead it asked me to associate the Google account to use with wallet.

ok

Done

When I did this, I got the error that my device wasn't supported despite my build.prop being changed.

I believe I was able to do this.

Did this

Done

Done

Yes they were

Done

Restored old build.prop

I wish
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
Is that screen shot the result of you using it at an actual store? Does the app seem to run on your phone ok?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Yes and yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
Gotcha. I have had luck installing Wallet 3 different ways mentioned in this post, and have never gotten that error. The only thing I can think of is that maybe you should not have deviated from the instructions by not installing those 2 files. I have followed the OP to a tee and had it install fine.

Another possibility is that there is something interfering with NFC. Are you using the stock phone cover? Do you have a case?

I always open the app, enter the pin, select the card, tell the cashier to run it as a credit card and hold the phone against the reader until it properly registers.

Hopefully there is not a problem with your NFC...

I forget which rom you are using, but have you read that others have set it up successfully on the same rom?

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Oh, and just ignore the META - INF files. Those should not be copied over
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Yes, that's basically what I did after I updated to 4.1.2.

Edit...I think the place that you tried to use GW on might have an issue...because I went to a different McDonalds and got the same result from your last screenshot. I will try to test again tomorrow at the McDonalds that it worked at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
So as I originally stated, I completely wiped my phone and upgraded to 4.1.2.

I wanted to try this entire process again, so I did a search for wallet on my phone and deleted all occurrences that didn't have "vending" in it, and restarted the process. Now I get to the step that says:

I did that, and it brings me up the first screen asking what account do I want to use. I selected my only gmail account which I use for everything, and it said "Adding your card", and hung there forever.

Really really getting frustrated. I am sure I am following the directions clearly, just need some help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Forgot to mention that I had the same problem. Not sure if I did anything wrong but I just went ahead and moved on to the next step and deleted the apk from /data/app then copied the google wallet from the zip file back to /system/app and rebooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I did that too. No joy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Hmmm...not sure what else to suggest. You said you this also after doing a factory reset/wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Yes and had the same results last time (basically).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Sorry, I dont have an answer for you. I'm away from a computer today but I quickly zipped up all the files that I used on my phone and pm'd you a link to that file on my dropbox account.

I just followed the same instructions from op and used all the files in the link I sent you.

Also, as mentioned in my earlier post...I also got stuck at step 7. But after downloading and installing wallet from the market I just went ahead and deleted the apk from /data/app and then copied the google wallet apk from the zip back to /system/app then rebooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
Used again at McDonalds today and worked fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbiz:
Have you tried the 2 flash file method that's posted on the themes and apps section? That finally worked for me. Also its suggested to remove any cards that are in the Google wallet via the website first and I flashed a fresh ROM before finally having success...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Are you flashing anything at any step??? Also, do you have a custom ROM?

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

I have not flashed anything as I am on a Stock Rooted ROM with stock recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
I am on stock rooted rom with stock recovery and I have not flashed anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Ok, one last question. When changing the permissions on the file that you sent me, do I need to change all files in all directories, or just the permissions of the single APK???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dnanj:
I changed permissions for all the files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I still can't seem to get this to work. I can get the app to install and run just fine, but every time I go to make a payment, I get a reader error and the transaction never goes through. Is anyone else having this problem? What's the fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
Assuming the app is running fine, and there are no issues with it reading your NFC, just make sure you: open the app, enter the pin, select the card, tell the cashier to run it as a credit card and hold the back of the phone against the reader until it properly registers.

I have gotten Wallet to run on 4 different roms using pretty much every method, so I know it can be done in most cases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] IcOpRo:
Are you by any chance trying it in different vendors? I know for example that Best By has NFC payment but it never works because its not enabled but Ive been able to use it in other places.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosmohtac:
Ok. I had this working, but I had to reflash to stock in order to get the 4.1.2 OTA. I want to do this again but, like it says in the directions of the first post, I want to make a backup of all of the files that I'm replacing. I don't want to just merge everything like I did the first time after watching the video instructions. I can't find any of the files on my phone that are the same as the files in the META-INF folder.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the files backed up so I can replace them when another OTA comes around, or are all of the files in the META-INF folder additional files that are not already part of the phones file system?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robroy90:
I think I read elsewhere that the meta-inf portion can be ignored. I just finished flashing a rooted copy of the 4.1.2 ROM today and followed these instructions in the first post of this thread again and it worked just fine. The references to the two flash files method (from the themes section) did not work for me.

I just left the NFC apps alone, and ignored the meta-inf portion, and mine worked (as far as I can tell, haven't tested it at retail yet). I did get the confirmation email from google, so I think I am good.

Just do a nandroid backup before you start this tutorial (and after you have a good rooted install of 4.1.2) and then add a .bak or .old extension to the files referenced so you have yet another copy of them if needed.

If you need more help, just let me know. I will do what I can to help you. I know how frustrating an involved process like this can be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosmohtac:
Thank you, for the quick reply.

I am rooted but have a stock recovery, so I believe I have to just add the .bak at the end of the original files. I suppose I could use my backup root to make a good backup of everything else.

I will follow the original instructions ignoring the META-INF files and the nfc.apk and nfctest.apk . Hopefully this will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yeloway:
Thanks for the guide! I was very helpful. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robroy90:
You are welcome. I can't see why it won't work for you if you follow it carefully. Give me a thanks if you don't mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosmohtac:
Thanks given.

I started to follow the instructions in the first post, and after copying all the files into the proper place in the System folder, I started the google wallet app. In the instructions it says "you WILL get a force close" on step 4. I didn't get a force close, and it opened to the select account page within google wallet.

Should I keep going with the instructions, or try to set up wallet?

NM. I set it up after step 4 and it worked. I rebooted the phone and reopened wallet to make sure it was still working and reverted the build.prop back to original settings.

I then rebooted and reopened to make sure it was still working and it is.

Now to test it at mcdonalds tomorrow.

Well I tried it out today and it doesn't work at McDonalds or CVS. I guess I'll start over and continue past step 4 and follow all of the instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
So far, the only places I've tried are CVS and Harris Teeter. Those are the only places I've been that offered NFC payment so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosmohtac:
I went back and did all of the steps (leaving out the transfer of the nfc files and the Meta-INF folder).

It still didn't work at McDonald's. I haven't had a chance to try it at CVS again.
