This method is cool but I prefer the old method, method 1, they one seems to work for me Beyer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
Yea v1 was easy to get working and worked good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustyjerran:
just tried and mine still shows gallaxy nexus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I did this yesterday then tried a purchase on a soda machine that I was able to use with V1. Didn't work. I tried a reboot, verified that tap and pay was still enabled, and still failed.

On another soda machine with what looked like the exact same reader, it worked. Frustrating!

I tried to use "adb logcat" to grab messages, but there wasn't anything wallet related. It'd be nice if we had some idea what was causing the transaction to fail, but it was too long after the failure before I could plug in to my PC to check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitals:
I'm not sure why you are recommending not to open Wallet first. If you have Wallet open and unlocked, you will only need to tap once. Otherwise, tapping the first time opens the app and requires your pin, and a second tap to complete the transaction. Either way works. But its quicker to have it out and ready while waiting in line to check out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ct_tec313:
Just tried 2v at cvs, it worked on a deodexed stock rom using safestrap, im starting to notice the newer the nfc terminal, the more chances of it working. ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muyiwafly:
Old terminal vs New terminals

That is EXACTLY what I noticed too. Mcdonalds worked for me everytime flawlessly without a hiccup, no matter what version I use and no matter how I upgrade to v2 wallet.

The first time I upgraded to v2 wallet, I just changed my build prop to nexus then upgraded through google play. Even with no modded wallet, its successful at Mcdonalds everytime.

The weird thing is that the older nfc terminals used to work on v1 wallet. Its like google lost some compatibility with older terminals in v2. This could be verified if someone with a Sprint S4 or nexus could give some input on their experience with v2 wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
You know...I actually had the feeling this could be the case as well. Perhaps older terminals just need a firmware upgrade to make them more reliable with the new communication method (perhaps in v2) which many places haven't done yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muyiwafly:
But that would be silly on google's part because between v1 and v2, the hardware is the same. It seems like it would be more beneficial to take the perfectly fine and compatible v1 method and just add it to v2 instead of removing the v1 method. This, I think, would boost general compatibility for wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Oh - for the record - I'm running stock ME7, rooted, of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjk639:
Two more sucessful purchases made. Gas station and store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ct_tec313:
Yep im 3 for 3 for the last 3 days, just made a successful purchase today at the gas station, what troubles me though is that the the nfc terminal was one of the older ones that didn't work before, confused...:what:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Those are some long instructions for "just flash the appropriate zip" lol.

I never went through the trouble of the old wallet install because I flash ROMs almost weekly and didn't feel like doing all that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobbieL811:
This setup properly on my AT&T GS4 running Touchwiz. I haven't gotten to try tap & pay. I'll do it at break time at the vending machines at work & report back.

I tried it today at the vending machine at work & it seemed like the app & NFC worked properly but it just wouldn't go through. I kept getting a radar detected error or something along those lines. Anybody know what that might mean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gotroot801:
Tried v2 on CM10.2 at a few CVS locations and a 7-Eleven. I'm 0-for-3 in getting NFC to trigger in a payment situation, but my phone will read NFC tags normally.

On toro Wallet was hit-or-miss as well, so I'm willing to put the blame on the terminals.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Does anyone have this installed on their me7 stock ROM side using safe strap and been successful?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
On latest version of Hyperdrive...... At McDonald's and Wallet didn't even open up after tapping.

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
On hyperdrive, used it at the gas station to buy a candy bar and water. Didn't ask me for my pin or anything. Just went right through.

Edit: I hadn't opened wallet since I installed it last night. And I use pattern unlock for the screen lock. I unlocked my phone, tapped it on the credit card machine, and it went through. So I wonder why it didn't ask for my pin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iwearthebelt:
The default setting on the pin lock is 15 hours. You can go into settings and change it to 1 hour or 15 minutes.

yes sir! installed on the saferom side using andybones deodexed stock rom.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Which kernel are you running?

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Stock optimized from hyperdrive aroma installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
just failed on me last night...went to CVS and it didnt work at one register so i wen to a different register and then it worked. the POS machines looked the same...so i guess that makes me 4 outta my last 5 that worked....its strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjk639:
I'm also on Hyperdrive, and it did not work for me at first. Go back a few pages and do what looserskater (hope I got that right) suggested. That worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skybronco:
Has anyone had any success on Galaxy S3 on Verizon with this most recent method and zip file? I read all the posts just not sure anyone who was successful was on an S4 or S3,

TIA,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
It seams that those running hyper drive running stock or stock optimized kernels can get it to work. I'm not running those kernels because the smart features are broken and you need to run either elite kernel or ktoonz kernel. Does anyone on either of those kernels have any success with the new wallet app on hyperdrive?

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 78Staff:
I think is is a key part, I had a failure this morning at a McD's, was first time I used v2 since upgrading my phone and rom, and was in a hurry so just paid cash. Same as your exp, early am failure had "reader detect but transaction may not have gone thorough" message (which I've gotten before but it always went through - they have to hit a key as you mentioned.) But the girl was basically clueless, didn't know what to do.

This afternoon, I went to a different McD's where i know it's worked in the past and got a McFlurry just to try it again and it worked fine. Again same as your successful one, just tapped, no pin needed, it just went through with no interaction from the cashier.

So I think a lot depends on the reader config, to be honest, some places are configured different that other places is my best guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:
This afternoon at McDonalds my first attempt failed so I paid cash. Went back 15 minutes later to the same register manned by the same clerk and tried another purchase and it went through. Both times I got the message "reader detect but transaction may not have gone thorough" didn't go through the first time but went through the second time. Hyperdrive 9.1 stock optimised kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ct_tec313:
Just had five successful purchases in the past 24 hours it started out rocky first couple of purchases it struggled to work but as the day progressed,the app got better. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Rom and kernel?

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Idk that the app for better, perhaps the terminals you were using were newer and could support the new wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChrisNee1988:
I tried a few times on vending machines and it didnt work but they dont like my credit card either. I also tried at Walgreens and it didnt work either.

I'm using hyperdrive 9.1 with stock optimized kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] officer629:
I'm running Beans 6 with Beans Kernel. It installed with no problem and activated fine but I keep getting "Tap and Pay Set Up Failed"

Any suggestions?

Deodexed me7 stock rom safestrap in the stock rom slot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Yup.ME7 roms with stock or stock optimized kernels seems to work. But no one has been able to verify if hyperdrive 9.1 with either ktoonz kernel or elite kernel works.

I dont want to loose PIP or smart features for google wallet to work. Hoping someone can help with a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Temporary fix, use version 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I tried using V1 but the moment I install the root check and region remover, my nfc breaks and i cant open titanium back up to get to uninstall the root checker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Walgreen's has never worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChrisNee1988:
Really? They definately advertise that it works with google wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
i had 2 experiences like that where it failed to read then went thru but with a message to make sure it went thru. its very strange...google wallet v1 definitely was more reliable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Ha. I googled "paypass walgreens" and first result was a thread I made a year ago on the subject.

Back then I found out that they had them hooked up, but the higher ups had them disconnected because it would be too easy for someone to steal a paypass card and use.

I don't know if they changed their stance on it since then though. I haven't tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjk639:
Bad news. Just had two unsuccessful transactions. Both at a place where I had a successful one last week.

First try nothing happened. The second time I went everything went through, but I got a possible failed attempt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
It's not 1.0...it's 1.6...and that may be the issue...teething issues with a point zero release. I'm guessing a lot of this goes away with 2.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
Might need to do a clean install of hyperdrive. I am running hyperdrive 9.1 with ktoons kernel and the v1 wallet works just fine. I even using a modified nfc apk that allows my nfc tags to work with my screen off.

From my Hyper drive powered S4 OC with ktoons
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
I think so far it has been determined that the changes which are causing failures on transactions are entirely due to the new Google Wallet app itself and not any relation to the NFC libs that have worked in the past. The NFC libs being used are the same ones in the officially supported by Google Wallet device Sprint Galaxy S4 so if it is not working for you then it wouldn't be working on the Sprint Galaxy S4 as well, meaning it is a bug in the app itself.

As of this time I think it's probably best to continue using version 1.x for now and we will see if any update comes in the near future that will fix reliability in the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BaronLager:
I did this, and where I was not having luck making purchases, I am now having luck. I just made a purchase at a local grocery store perfectly, that had failed before. I'll keep trying and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I tried twice and had to redo the install of hyper drive because of the previously mentioned issues. Following the steps for v1 install, qst edit build prop and download the patched apk and region root check remover. Rebooted into recovery and flashed the zip files. Once I reboot, my nfc toggle remains grayed out, and nfc won't turn on so I can set up wallet. On darkslide rom, the install went flawlessly.

What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
I just wanted to say I installed the 2.0 wallet apk on my brand new S4 which is a me7. Installed with safe strap recovery, worked at the only place I know for nfc. I had a s3 on boost and had no problems at all, wallet worked out of the box
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
Have you tried replacing your nfc apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Actually I just reflashed the rom and necessary files for v1 to work. Going to confirm v1 working on my hyper drive 9.1 rom shortly. Hopefully a more reliable v2.0 app is released, but not holding my breathe as v1 worked fine for me on darkslide rom previously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
Stock Developer's Edition here and I am having the same problem trying to revert to Wallet 1.6. Many tries but it always results in an NFC button that will only be "greyed," dark green, never truly activated. Wallet cannot complete setup because of this. After many different tries, it is always the same.

Flashing 2.0 brings it back to life, but 2.0 fails at the POS every time for me.

Attempted restoring a couple NFC system apps with Titanium Backup and that didn't change anything. The versions appeared the same anyway.

I did modify the 1.6 TW package, removing Xposed since it's an older version than what I have installed. I don't see that being the issue. I also tried manually replacing files and setting permissions to the same end. Having the NFC button ON or OFF before doesn't seem to affect the outcome either. Maybe I'll change one file at a time. . .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Flashed v1 of wallet on hyperdrive 9.1 and all is well now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
:D:D

From my Hyper drive powered S4 OC with ktoons
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
I've narrowed it down to /system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so. Everything else from the v1.6 can be changed back and the NFC toggle works as long as that file is the one from the v2.0 wallet. Once it's changed to the one included in v1.6, greyed out NFC toggle.

I tried setting up Wallet with the one 2.0 file intact and it failed (screenshot)

There is, of course, network available. Not unexpected to error anyway, since I'm mixing files.

Still have a couple things to try to see if I can get past it.

Edit: Added screenshot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Inigo Montoya:
I posted this elsewhere but I was able to get tap & pay on 2.0 but I finally got this to work on my S4 with safestrap running Eclipse GE. Took alot of fiddling but here's what I did. Have yet to test but here was my process if it helps anyone.

1) I started from scratch. Uninstalled Wallet and removed all traces of it in system/app and data/app.

2) Rebooted into recovery

3) Installed the TW version of 2.0 found here: Download Link

4) Installed loserskater's modded version of 2.0 found here: Download Link

Now this is where I think I hit a bump in the road. When I rebooted my apps "refreshed" or whatever it says I forget right now, and upon opening Wallet after the restart I noticed no tap to pay. So I forced closed the Wallet app cleared cache and data and rebooted to recovery. From there:

5) I reflashed loserskater's modded version.

6) Reboot system

7) When I went back into Wallet the option to tap and pay was available.

Not sure why it worked for me this way but after about 25 attempts to get this thing to work in different ways I finally have it. I have yet to test it out but it is installed and tap to pay is available...Step 1!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChrisNee1988:
I tried it at mcdonalds today and it worked. I pretty much ignored all of the OP's steps. This is what I did.

1. Flashed Hyperdrive 9.1 (stock optimized kernel) (I'm guessing as long as you don't have wallet already installed, it should still work)

2. Flashed Wallet Zip

3. Set up Wallet

In store I opened up the app prior to tapping cause i feel uncomfortable showing other people my PIN and it worked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Lots of success with McDonald's it's really hit or miss on the reader it's looking like
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
I'm running Wallet on a rooted S4 (Eclipse 2.0 ROM). Mine works fine at McDonald's but that's all that I've tried it on so far.

Although mine is running fine (as far as I can tell), I do have one admittedly ignorant question: after looking at reviews of Wallet on the play store, it seems that people with a VZW S4 are giving it 5 stars and saying how well it works. Are they wrong (is it not fully functional) or are we having issues because of root?

I haven't personally tried the play store route because mine works fine and I'm afraid to push my luck by removing what I have and trying it.

EDIT: One 5 star review from 9/30 (most recent update was 9/27) mentions requiring a special SIM card? "Verizon users need new SIM If you have Verizon you have to order a smart SIM card. You should be able to get it for free. If you go to their website and look up info on Isis it will give you details. Finally wallet!" Anyone heard of this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
well i dont know whats going on and as a previous poster said, i think its just wallet related, as ive used v2 at my local 711 and at the same register/pos system and sometimes it works and sometimes it doest. Im just going back to v1 as im not using any of the "new features" of V2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:
I believe the special sim card is for Isis Wallet a joint venture between ATT Tmobile and Verizon. This service is not widely available (Austin and Salt Lake City according to www.paywithisis.com) and uses different software at the POS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
I live in Houston and ordered a ISIS SIM on vzw.com for free. Got it 3 days later and use it anywhere paypass is used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
How is your success with Google Wallet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 78Staff:
Well just to throw in a monkey wrench, got a failure today at the same McD's where it's always worked before. Difference is I have wallet installed on two rom slots at the moment, so that might be mucking things up a bit.

Also, do I recall reading that wallet will not work if you have lock screen security set to none?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Mine has always worked with no lock screen security (v1 and v2).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobbieL811:
I had this working last week. I never made a successful purchase with it but I could get it to set wallet up & also successfully set up tap & pay but the last few times that I have tried to set it up, I have gotten an error. I posted a pic with the error. Any idea what could be going on anyone? In on an AT&T Galaxy S4 running CyanogenMod 10.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
The ISIS sim had little/no change in my success rate for transactions with google wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Figured that, was asking because of a review for Google Wallet that I had quoted above. I thought MAYBE....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 78Staff:
Ok, rules that out then. Just more Wallet hit and miss then I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PVLMTREE:
Been getting the Tap & Pay error too.

Unavailable (nfc payment setup failure: 13)

Running Carbon Rom (4.3) AOSP - latest nightly

I'm going to try to change the build.prop manually and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 78Staff:
Ok i figured this out... short version - operator error :).

Long version, I had forgotten I had installed a HoloWiz TW update over Shostock base, and also reverted it with another "return to shostock stock" package, so I suspect one or both of those packages overwrote my TW NFC fix. So I uninstalled and re-installed the nfc fixes and Wallet 2.0-R133 and all is working fine again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobbieL811:
I don't know if that will help you any. I have a different error message but I tried changing my build.prop to that of the Galaxy Nexus but it didn't have any effect. If you figure it out, please PM me & let me know. I REALLY wanna get Wallet back up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jerrah:
Odd didn't work at 7-11 last night but it worked like a week before. Very hit or miss I guess, one time it took like 6 trys when at the mall for a soda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
I won't lie guys, personally I've given up on Version 2.0. It's clearly buggy and has nothing to do with the phone it's on either (Sprint and Nexus users are having some troubles as well with tap and pay on terminals that always worked on Verizon 1.x). I went back to the old build for more consistency until Google updates Wallet again (because I'll admit it's pretty embarrassing trying and trying many times at the terminal while everyone is waiting for you to finish and you keep trying thinking "this time it'll work, it just has to" but it never does). Sorry guys, I wish there was a universal fix for this but the truth is it's not such a black and white solution at this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 78Staff:
I'm with you, I'm going back to 1.96, never had any issues with that version on TW or AOKP based roms... Little more work to install, but always works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Had my first failure the other day and I tried to scan 3 times. This version is definitely buggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtstech:
This is confirmed working for tap and pay using version 1. This is a Cricket Galaxy S4. jfltecri CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Android 4.2.2 Stable Release 9/23/13

I was successful at McDonalds and Circle K. I have found it sometimes takes more than one tap depending on the merchant.

I was unsuccessful at the pump of Sheetz. The pump kept saying PayPass not available sale cancelled. I did not try inside yet.

Sent from my SCH-R970C
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Another data point to prove that this is a bug in Wallet - I tried again with my favorite soda machines and couldn't get it to work at all.

I opened a terminal window, used "su" to get to root, then "logcat >/sdcard/wallet.log".

Opened up Wallet, then successfully made a purchase. It seems that grabbing the log slows things down just a tad, allowing 2.0 to work as this has been pretty consistent behavior.

Those of you having failures could try this to see if it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NickSaul:
Looks like there was just an update sent out to v2.0-R133-v14-RELEASE.

Hey Open, there's an update to Google wallet if you want to work your magic id be willing to test it out for you. ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Unfortunately it would be up to loserskater to edit those lines in the apk that he is already aware of. Then I'll be happy to repackage it for my mod once we get that modded apk. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ct_tec313:
Great!!!!! I think that google realized that they made a boo boo with the new app, it doesn't have a change log in the play store bit I'm sure they noticed the issue with tap and pay and fixed it. ..

Is there a way to flash the wallet zip without installing xposed? My current ROM jellybeans already has it installed accessible through the settings menu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
I opened the wallet zip on a PC in WinRAR, browsed down to the /system/app folder, right clicked the Xposed apk and selected delete.

Rename that zip to show that's your modified one. Flashes good for me and doesn't downgrade my Xposed framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Sweet I'll give that a try. I thought that I would need to verify the zip or something for twrp to flash it. The other way I was planning to do it was extract the contents and copy all the files to the correct system folders
