May be a noob question but does applying just the modem from the new updates/otas affect wallet since it applies updates to NFC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Mine still opens ok...not sure if it still works.

Question:

Has anyone figured out what steps are needed to get this running on the GE based ROMs?

I am wondering if we can just use the GE build prop info for the device and call it a day?

If not, do we need both hacks, or just one or the other. TW hack out AOSP hack? Etc etc.

Edit:

OK, so I tried the TW and the AOSP version.

The TW version gave me NFC force closes.

The AOSP version gave me unfortunately wallet has stopped.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrDJ:
It it safe to use the aosp build to patch if I am on Cyanogen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
I have done this mod on my VZW S4 on both AOSP (using method B) and TW (using method A...*method B didn't work for some reason, maybe I did something wrong), and I can confirm that it works like a charm!!!

Thanks OP!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] naturalstamina:
I see a lot of mentions about method A,

I am on Verizon Wireless CleanRom 1.6.5 odex.

I would install the TW version correct?

Which method is recommended?

is there any difference between the two?

***UPDATE***

Installed via Method A and set up went through, have yet to try but i believe it is working. Will report back.

Is it ok to uninstall xposed installer after we go through the process?

I tried to uninstall and realized there is no simple uninstall shortcut, how can we uninstall the "xposed installer" app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] p-slim:
You cannot uninstall if you want wallet to work

ok thanks i left it, i have yet to try wallet, but i will do it today or tomorrow and report back that it is processing payments correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottusa2008:
I had great success using this mod already (and if I haven't posted it yet thanks for the detailed instructions and links).

But I ran into a slight problem with an update I just applied to my phone. After applying the Darkslide ROM I keep getting an error message that says "'insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release keys)" every time I run Google Wallet.

I have already performed the wallet reset instructions for changing roms, but the error continues to happen even if I go to apply the mod from scratch.

Is there any information that can be provided to help resolve this matter? I figure this may be just an ME7 update related issue and that one or more of the mods (or frameworks) may need to be updated for ME7 compatibility.

**edit - never mind, it seems that I was able to get it to work by flashing the zip file right after flashing the rom (both were done in recovery). I don't know if this was a fluke thing or not, but if someone else has the same issue maybe this might help?

VRUAME7

ok, so, maybe a stupid question:

I have the latest official ota vruame7. Obviously as we all know, there is no custom recovery yet in order to install this patch.

Now, looking into this further, it looks like the zip file just contains a bunch of revised system files that need to be overwritten in order for google wallet to work.

So, here is my question: instead of patching all the files using a custom recovery, can i just manually overwrite all these files using root explorer to get the same results?

Someone please tell me if i am way off track here.

Then, assuming this would work, the next question would be if the patched files are still valid for this update, or if a new patch is needed for vruame7.

Thank you

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Wonder if there is a way to replicate the situation with the GE ROMs. I am assuming there is more to it than simply modifying the build prop to look like a GE device.

Verizon Galaxy S4 Wallet Installer

I made an installer app to help out those who are on the ME7 OTA and thus cannot flash a custom recovery. This should work on all Verizon GS4s running TouchWiz, but be warned that this has only been tested on my GS4 running stock rooted ME7.

Root access is required.

The only user intervention required is two reboots, installing the Xposed Framework/Wallet mod, and setting up Wallet. The app will handle the rest (build.prop modifications, installing the necessary files for Wallet, etc.)

To use, perform the tutorial (method A) like normal. However, instead of performing steps 5-8, run this app instead and follow the instructions. Proceed with the tutorial like normal. Instead of performing steps 17-18, run the app again. Congratulations, you have Google Wallet!

I've attached an apk to this post that you can install. If you want to donate, I'm also publishing it on the Play Store for $1 (link below, won't be active for a few hours).

As always, the usual disclaimers apply. Use this app at your own risk, and I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to your device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
I'm on jelly beans ROM build 5 and was wondering if/when there is a update to the ROM, if I dirty flash the update will Google wallet still be installed and working?

Am I correct to say the only time you will have to reinstall Google wallet is if you wiped data and installed a new ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Well, I tried the updater app, and it broke my NFC. S-Beam still enables, but NFC doesnt engage. Not sure if there is a way to revert or not...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
Can you elaborate? I literally just tested out the NFC between my S4 and Note 2 and it's working fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Google Wallet does not see NFC as enabled, and in the notification toggles, the NFC option has the dim green lighting, and won't change. S-Beam toggle lights up like normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
I'm not sure why this would be the case. I'm currently reflashing my S4 back to stock to investigate.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
aye. I don't have a custom recovery... any idea how I might fix it? (or at least revert to normal NFC without Wallet)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
Flash the ME7 no-data image in Odin. This will revert the NFC libs to normal. You will have to re-root, but that takes like 60 seconds anyhow.

Also, for what it's worth, I just reflashed the ME7 image twice and got Wallet working on both tries. I did freeze system apps before I got around to making this app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Where's the best link to download the image?

I can flash that in Odin on the device even though it wasn't rooted before my update to ME7?

Is there a dummies guide to flashing it in Odin? I've not flashed a device in Odin yet, just used to 4EXT on my old phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
I think I did it in the right order, did you have a version of wallet installed before starting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
No. My friend updated my phone to ME7 on first power on by accident, and the reflashes I did with Odin reset the /system partition where Wallet resides (hence my need to re-root every time I reflash).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I did but I cleared the data and cache and uninstalled before starting both times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
I edited the app to make it clear Dalvik cache before reboot, try this and see if it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Josebori:
It's this app only for the new update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Well, i went into Odin, got the update to start, but now the phone says Odin:flash write failure and the progress meter is stuck, and Odin software says fail

well... of course, rebooting the phone results in message that firmware update encountered an error.... kies for some reason wouldnt recognize the phone, but the verizon update assitant is seeing the phone and I was able to start the recovery, wiping the phone... will see how it goes.

I think I will be holding off until someone else tests this out next time...

It would probably work on TW MDK ROMs, but I haven't tested it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
I might be willing to try another version IF it could back up the original files and restore if needed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GameChanger:
It will work if your going from build 4 to build 5 with a dirty flash. Just make sure you dont do a full wipe. If for some reason you are having bugs with build 5 and have to reflash with wiping all 3 then reset google wallet before you flash again.

From my understanding, you need a NFC sim card that's only in certain markets.

I have me7 also. Try reinstalling the rom, then flash the Wallet mod directly after you install the rom. Then proceed with the steps. Wallet is confirmed working on my current.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
You can't flash on ME7 last time I checked as there is no custom recovery? Maybe I'm missing something here.

I had to copy the files manually to their respective locations and change their perms.

When I replaced the lib files NFC wouldnt toggle on. After restoring them to the original libs NFC would toggle on and off, however, Wallet would crash and of course the ISIS app griped about the phone being rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
I have a custom recovery because I didn't flash the OTA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Have you used the ISIS app yet? It isn't horrible but limits you to the cards that you can register which I don't like and I don't really want to support VZW since they have such hate for Wallet.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

So you are still on MDK with regard to bootloader. I am talking about a completely ME7 stock phone (OTA installed). That makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
No problem, everything is me7 except I have a custom bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Do you have an ISIS/NFC sim card? That is the only other thing that I can think of that would be breaking it. I wouldn't think the bootloader would touch NFC (I could be very wrong).

Here is the difference between the two. I unfortunately didn't try this before getting my NFC sim.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
If i upgraded to me7 then tried to install Google wallet my nfc would break. Different files I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
So why is it that you have to reset Google wallet when switching Roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] m3Jorge:
I have ME7 Stock rooted only so I used the app posted a few pages back. Mat be the ME7 Kernel is an issue or I need to freeze some apps?

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

I tried ISIS but it complained about me being rooted so no dice there either....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
When you look at NFC under your quick settings (pull down bar with all the toggles) is it a dulled out green? That is what mine looked like and I couldn't turn on NFC.

When I replaced the original libs but left all of the other mods on NFC would turn on/off no problem, however, Wallet would FC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
Wallet needs the modified libs in order to function. The NFC issue doesn't seem like it's limited only to our device though, as I explain here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Question is how do we modify the libs? I believe they are signed and are machine code (use hex to edit) so they would have to be reverse engineered from what I have read.

Edit: I see that it has already been figured out by you. So it is just the libs that needed to be changed for ME7?

All of these files?

/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so

/system/lib/libnfc-nci.so

/system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wchill:
Actually, I realize I just derped and forgot to copy over 4 files.

Let me push out a new build and see if that helps.

For reference, these are the files that are copied over:

I forgot to copy over NfcNci.apk, NfcTest.apk, and nfcee_access.xml. Don't know why it worked on my device even without those, but the new build should work.

No, they're all the same files. Those files, however, are obviously not stock - which is what I meant by "modified"

For ME7 roms flash the Wallet mod immediately after flashing the rom and then proceed with the other steps afterwards and you will have it working.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjk639:
Just for verification.

If I am updating a ROM (only wiping cache/dalvik, nothing else), do I need to follow the guidelines for changing ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I always do. Most ROM scripts wipe system so you are going to delete the wallet app. BUT..the xposed apk and the xposed module apk are in data, so I just do this:

flash ROM

flash gapps, kernel, etc.

flash wallet zip

do first boot and basic setup

change build.prop

for 4.2.2: re-install xposed framework in the app reboot activate wallet fix and reboot again

for 4.3: reboot and run 4.3 xposed framework installer zip then reboot and activate wallet fix and reboot again

set up wallet

restore build.prop backup (root explorer automagically makes a backup)

reboot

spend dough with wallet

I THINK you may be able to just flash the 4.3 framework installer zip when you flash the ROM. It only requires that the xposed installer apk be present in data, but I have not tried it. It would save a reboot if it worked.

Either way, you are going to lose the exposed framework changes and the wallet app, so really just redoing the whole process is not that much more work and you know it should work.
