I followed all the steps to the letter. Went into Root Explorer and found the swype apk in data/app. Held it down and moved it to system/app. Renamed it by taking out the 1. Rebooted.
Went into metamorph and extracted the theme. When I go to apply, it says .com.android.swype-1.apk can not be found in target data/app/
2 things:
Why is it looking in there? I moved it out of there
I renamed it so why is it looking for that old file name?
It also said the sub theme was put into data/app.
I'm stuck. I even tested it out by renaming it to what it wanted and put it back to where it was looking and nothing at all.
Any help? I'd really like to have the all black swype instead of the gray. Goes with my theme. I even watched the Youtube video and am doing everything he is.

Un-install swype, reboot, install, reboot. Then try to metamorph it without moving it. Same thing happened to me.

On the post with those instructions, there is a fixed version of the theme. Download it & follow instructions again.

Yeah, I'm having a problem with this as well. I followed the instructions, but when I go into MetaMorph to update the theme, an error pops up that says, "The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could not be read and may be missing." Any ideas?
If you use warm 2.2 either donate to get the RLS5 beta, or wait a few days to get the final. Either way RLS5 has themed swype built in.

Thanks! Did not see that. Probably should put that link on the main Rom page and replace it. I see that is what the guy in the video is using, too.

Hmmmmm. I may do that but I really want it now, lol. I can be impatient like that. Id this new fix gives me issues, I will wait for Rls 5. Is it dropping this week?
Well that new zip did work.
But everytime I install Swype, move it to the system/app folder and reboot, it's not there for use when I get back.
I guess I'll just wait for Rls 5 to include it. I've been trying this since yesterday.

I'm also having a similar problem. I first move the inputmethod.apk from /data/apps to /system/apps, reboot my phone, then apply the update through metamorph, reboot my phone again. Then the phone loads up, it says swype doesn't exist. Any suggestions?
Just upgrade to RLS5. Now that Swype is on the official Sprint ROM, it can be included in custom ROMs. RLS5 is a good upgrade, and it will have the themed Swype already there.
First this is a guide from the Verizon Note 2 forums, for those who don't know about it.

Follow these steps, I have done this 3 times already and every time it works, IF you follow these steps.
I HIGHLY suggest using root explorer for this
1. Download the attached zip file, you must extract it, and place everything in their respective folders, backup your current files, rename with .bak on the end, paste the files in their respective folders from the zip. Set the correct permissions as the other files in the folder. Under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok.
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.
Everything you need to know is in this post, if its not working, you didn't do something correctly, or you missed a step.

I was one of those who tested this out for warlocklord. Weird thing is, I re-did everything last night again just to see(going back to stock) without all those steps. I used the flashable zip(r87), replaced the build prop warlocklord uploaded when he first started it(attached). I load up wallet without crashing, everything loads and then I place back the original build.prop.

Yea I did the same, you already had the folder in your data with saved stuff is why it worked.
However that is the verizon build.prop - I dont suggest people using it. Won't hurt, but verizon likes to block app's from the makret.
This is my first chance to use google wallet, lol its awsome.gas stations, cvs, gas stations, toys r us, mcdonalds.love using it

This going to be a really stupid and probably self-explanatory question... but I don't want to take any chance: Do you have to be ROOTED to perform this complicated procedure or can you be fully stock??

I am on step 7 now, and I think I am stuck. How long does the reset take? The progress bar is stuck on 98%, on "Removing payment cards," for about 15 minutes now.

Yeah, I finally gathered my courage and backed out. I finished everything and now my wallet seems to be working. Time to give it a go at a store!
Is this something that would be able to be cooked into a rom- a working version of Wallet, or would this procedure have to be done after every flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I originally used the original link that you posted. Those directions were a bit lacking so I ended up using the GS3 thread in combination with the original GN2 thread. It said to remove the APK. I was like, what APK, I am starting new, i don't ahve anything installed. So I assumed this person started off using the GS3 thread. So I went to the GS3 thread and flash modaco patched r87 and the GS3 NFC fix (I know, that was mistake). I then removed the APK. Then changed my build.prop. I installed the legit APK from play store. Then I opened it and activated my cards. It claimed that the app would restart on it's own, but it never did. I then just deleted the APK and then moved the modaco patched r87 into the system/app directory. Everything appeared to go well. I tried to make a payment and got a declined message at a 7-11. I then tried it at a CVS and but this time the NFC didn't even register. I then realized, I had the wrong NFC fix. So I flashed the NOTE2 NFC fix and was able to make my first successful wallet payment. Well everything ended up well so I'm happy. It seems that your directions are a little bit clearer than he original. Good luck to everyone else. I feel a little uncomfortable because my method was little dirty cuz I flashed the GS3 NFC fix first by accident. Once the new Cleanrom comes out with the multiwindow, I will try this process again from scratch and hopefully get a cleaner install.

Go back and repeat the process.
Soo i went over an old patch that i had for my GS3 to find out exactly what files were swapped and replaced from sprints verson..
and this is what i came up with...
system/lib.............
libnfc_ndef.so
libnfc_jni.so
libnfc.so
system/lib/hw
nfc.MSM8960.so
system/etc
nfcee_access.xml
system/app
NFC.apk
NFCTest.apk
.........................................................................................
With them files swapped onto our Tmobile builds, with the addition of build.prop edited to sprints Galaxy nexus, Google wallet in fact worked>>
I went and took the same approach with our Galaxy S4.. except some files were a little different..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I started wallet up with no tweeks/mods and got an error that its not currently available for my device... I then modded the build.prop to...
ro.product.model=SPH-L720
ro.product.name=jfltespr
ro.product.device=jfltespr
I chose sprints galaxy s4 build because i dont wanna lose s voice drive by changing my build to a nexus.. I wanna keep all features working..
I opened wallet up and it did not say that same warning. This time it said something about insecure elements and force closed. So obviously like the S3, a tweak needs to be made..
in the system/app folder, i replaced..
NFCNci.apk
NFCNci.odex
NFCTest.apk
NFCTest,odex
system/lib
libnfc-nci.so
libnfc-nci_jni.so
(there were only 2 files in this folder regarding NFC)
system/lib/hw
nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
system/etc
nfcee_access.xml
.............................................................................................................
after all that, i rebooted.. Clicked on wallet, and wallet opened and prompted me to turn NFC on. When i did, settings force closed.. if i turn nfc on from the pulldown bar, it wont turn on. Sooo NFC is borked....
then i did the same thing MINUS the system/app files since maybe they have nothing to do with the permissions in wallet. i rebooted and now NFC works.. turns on, and does what its supposed to, but when i open wallet, it force closes. I then cleared wallet data, and the same thing,. it freezes and force closes.. I then uninstalled it and installed it again, same problem.
this is where i stand and because i am NOT a dev and dont know the first thing about what they do, i am now at a standstill. It was an honest effort of copying the same method used on the s3. If any devs sees anything wrong with i did, feel free to tell me, or pickup where i left off lol.
Any help would be appreciated . Thanks guys. I realize not many people have this device yet, but i wanted to post this to get the attention!
Im so glad u brought this up!! i brought this up earlier but no one paid attention to it. Would love to see google wallet on this phone as i also had it on my s3. Maybe something to do with knox security on phone?

did u swap from a odex to odex or a deodexed to deodexed version of TW??
note: sawpping deodexed into odex would possibly cause FC's or stuck at TMO boot. btw, if u havent already i recommend installing a clockwormod recovery

yes u are right, i am just making sure.
if u are up for it i can give u some suggestions, do this at your own risk although the worst thing to happen will be that u have to ODIN stock firmware.
please make a nandroid backup before u try this and also install [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.2 or TWRP for the TMO S4..being proficient with ADB will help also but not necessary. MAKE SURE TO MANUALLY BACKUP your EFS folder, i normally just add the EFS folder to ZIP using root explorer and save it to my PC.
ill post back in about 20 mins once download is finished, in meanwhile u can do above if u wish. let me know if u are interested in trying.

Try the following in the EXACT ORDER OF INSTRUCTIONS:
BACKUP your phone using Nandroid and backup your EFS folder just in case.
uninstall any version off Google wallet u have installed and be sure to clear data and cache when uninstalling.
change your build.prop to reflect the following:
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
u may try the sprint s4 build.prop but im not sure yet if it will work, i guess u can experiment:
Code:
ro.product.model=SPH-L720
ro.product.name=jfltespr
ro.product.device=jfltespr
reboot after changing build.prop and saving with PROPER FILE PERMISSIONS
since u are running the odexed android system swap the following from the Odexed TMO S4 with the Odexed Sprint S4 files and be sure to SET PROPER FILE PERMISSIONS
system/app

NFCNCi.apk
NFCNCi.odex

how did you "replace" the files? flash them? or use a file explorer....I am going to guess you used a file explorer other than root explorer and your permissions are wrong. from recovery you can use the (fix permisions) and that will sort them...
(or start over with root explorer)
oh yeah, if you are "testing" twrp, go get clockwork
going to need a logcat once it gets close....
UPDATE.. xeonox...
here is the flashable file i brewed together with the exact files to replace in which you stated
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pemlf59xrtckj41/GS4walletfixx.zip
you guys are more then welcome to download it and try for yourself or even see the files that i swapped over to confirm i did everything right, however i am certain that i did...
anyways i flashed it..... downloaded google wallet.. opened it.... it tells me that NFC is turned off and to turn it on...... went to settings, and seen that nfc toggle was off... I turned it on and Settings force closes..... i try to turn NFC on from the toggles up top and it wont turn on... Soo same issue as when i did it the first time i posted... hmmm
thank god i took your advice and backed up.. otherwise ide be ODINing right now back to stock lol..
soo wallet aside, something is causing NFC not to work, and i believe its the actual files themselves in the system/app folder
and to confirm NFC breaking, i flashed this file again, however with the system/apps untouched.....
NFC now works again..
HOWEVER
Wallet force closes when you try to open it
its very important that the permissions are correct. did u check using root explorer or similar app to make sure the permissions were correct?
I had the original optimus g on att and had been running a leaked version of 4.1.2 and was able to get an aosp version of the mms.apk to run (didnt like the one on the rom, no emojis haha) and since this is running 4.1.2, would it be possible to swap in that same mms app if i root the decive? If anyone braver than me wants to give it a try i still have the mms.apk i had on my OG. Or possibly root, install tb and then freeze stock/restore backup of mms.apk? If anyone has done this already then awesome, if not maybe ill do it this weekend (became a bit of a flash-o-holic with my OG so i cant wait for someone to tear into this and get some nice roms loaded

You can install the MMS.apk as a user app and not a system app. Makes it quite a bit less risky. If it causes problems you can just uninstall it.
whenever i try to install it it keeps saying its a system app and then fails cuz it says there is an app with a conflicting signature. is there a special way to install it as a user app instead of system or does it all depend on the apk?
I was messing around with this the day after I first got mine. Since they have the same signature, you can't install both at the same time. The only way that I would suggest doing this safely is to be rooted, set the system\app folder to read/write, rename the UniMessagebin.apk to UniMessagebin.apk.bak, then rename UniMessagebin.odex to UniMessagebin.odex.bak. Copy your mms.apk file to the system\app folder and rename it to UniMessagebin.apk then set permission on it to -rw-r--r--. Then set you system\app folder permissions back to rwxr-xr-x.
You should NOT need to reboot at this point. If the apk is valid and will work the the current system framework, you should see it show up in your app drawer. I was able to get the AOSP 4.1.2 mms.apk to run ok on my phone, but MMS messages weren't working (apparently a known issue with 4.1.2 AOSP). If the apk force closes or doesn't show up as valid, go and delete it from your system\app folder and rename the other two files back to their original names before you attempt to reboot.
Good luck!
i actually found one that worked but didnt have the popup like i had on my original og and the stock one on pro has it...plus the notifications didnt work at all...only reason i knew i had msgs waiting was cuz i happened to open the app...thankfully gf knows wat a geek i am and believed me when i told her haha. back to hunting i guess...thanks for all the help

Stock ANK4 T-Mobile ROM deodexed by jovy23 and debloated by myself. Really nothing else to say about it. Check out jovy23's thread for what he's done.
Instructions: Wipe everything in recovery (shouldn't need to tell you to backup first) and flash the zip. Done.

Nice! Thanks
It's been a long time , and seems like u changed carriers also ? Good to see your work again.
Cool
My Mobile Hotspot force closes upon enabling it. Can anyone confirm? Other than that, smooth like butter.
Can confirm. Hot spot FCs on trying to activate. Must've removed something necessary for it. Otherwise I love how light this rom is.
EDIT: I have jovy23's original rom on my phone. If anyone has any idea what app I'd have to reinstall to get the hotspot working again I'll grab it from there, put it into system/priv-app, change the permissions, and reboot to see if it works.
Ill fix up the hotspot today.

Thanks buddy.
EDIT: Does S-Health work for you guys? Also I think that if were keeping S-Health we should also keep Samsung Galaxy Apps since it's the only way to update it.
I really like this rom. Two things though. Can anyone tell me what files I need to restore to get the Samsung Browser working and the Smart Select for the S-Pen? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: So I figured out the Smart Select but I still need to restore the samsung browser.
EDIT 2: I figured out the browser as well.
Also, is there anyway to get the Samsung Account integrated? I would like to download the extra camera filters. I realize that this is a debloated ROM, but if anyone has a link to re-install some of Sammy's apps, that would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Found a zip file. =)
Ya'll are killing me man! Pro_b tell me what files you need to restore those functions and wheres that zip file Murphy71984? BTW does S-Health work for you guys? Doesn't for me and I figure it's because of the Samsung Account stuff.
really slimmed down thats how phones should come out of the box + the weather widget. I want the weather widget back, tried installing the app from another rom but it does not work properly.

Flash in recovery, but do a backup first, that goes without saying.

I restored the files myself. I used good old fashioned google searching to figure out which files needed to be restored. But I'm glad the rom was built without them. I prefer how slim the rom is and what I wanted may not be what others wanted or needed.

I noticed that the dev of this rom also removed the libs along with the apps. You may need to find out if there're some missing lib files to s-health. At least that was the case when I added back the sbrowser.
How to re-enable smart select, the galaxy app store, tethering, and Samsung account.
This is how I got everything working. For smart select you grab Pinboard.apk from another rom (I grabbed everything from jovy23's original stock deodexed rom), place it in system/priv-app and change it's permissions to match the other apks there. I used ES file explorer for this with root explorer on and changing the system option to R/W (Tap on root explorer after turning it on to change this option). For the galaxy app store grab GalaxyApps_3xh.apk place it in the system/priv-app folder and change its permissions like before. Theres also a apk called SamsungAppsWidget_BannerStyle_common.apk which goes in system/app but I'm unsure if it's neccesary. If you are adding it just remember to change its permissions. For mobile Hotspot grab TetheringAutomation.apk and TetheringProvision.apk place them in system/app and change permissions. For the Samsung Account grab Samsungservice2_xxhdpi_RTL.apk place it in system/priv-app and change permissions. You are able to log in to the galaxy app store without this but it is necessary to get full access to your samsung accounts synching capabilities, like with s-health for example. Let me know if you need help with anything.
EDIT: Reboot after you've done everything!
Blame @ProTekk
Thanks man
