New way to install official Google Wallet app?

Hey everybody! I was playing around with the Android MWC 2012 app and looking at the Google section, clicking on the booth names and what not.
However, I noticed that when I clicked on the Google Wallet section, it gave me a Market link to download the app. I thought that was weird (Verizon gnex here, so not officially allowed). So I figured what the hell, click it. Gave me an option to use the Market app, clicked on that too.
Low and behold, took me to the market and allowed me to download and install the app! No muss no fuss. Haven't tried to setup any cards yet (visa user, MasterCard/prepaid seems like a bother right now), but it's interesting to see that it worked.
OK, so, info about my phone :
Verizon Galaxy Nexus
On stock Android 4.0.2 (the stock version you get with the WugFresh tool)
Boot loader is LOCKED
Phone is NOT ROOTED
Just curious to see if anyone can do this as well...
Steps to install:
1) Download Android MWC app from the Market
https://market.android.com/details?id=in.phantompa.mwc2012
2) Open the app and click on the "Google Section"
3) Scroll down to the Google Wallet portion, click on it
4) Click on the market icon
5) Select the market app (if you don't already have it setup as default)
6) Install

Well, I dunno about Verizon, but it worked just fine for me on T-Mobile. Thanks for the tip!

Are either of you running a customer rom? I'm on CM9 nightly w/ T-Mobile. App not available for my carrier message, use MarketEnabler to make it appear as US Verizon, app still not available.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Yeah, I'm on AOKP 26. Strangely, I noticed that if I go to the web market now, it says my phone is compatible with Wallet. I'm not sure if that's due to the app being installed now or not. The app doesn't even show up when I search the market from my phone, though.

Just tried and getting the old carrier not allowed message. Tried both with the market app intent and browser

Google Now actions don't work correctly in the UK?

First off I have set up Google Now correctly, I have downloaded English Language Packs (US and UK) and I live in the UK. I have a play music account set up using a proxy so I can understand those music actions sort of not working. But others for me don't work. Also I allow Google Now to search my apps.

Try clearing dalvik and cache. If that doesn't work try going into Google app info then clearing data and start again.

It seems to be working better for me today.. it doesn't think I'm in Washington any more
I presume google are getting the backend servers working for the nexus 7 rollout, so they've got a couple of weeks. I don't expect everything to be fully working until at least then (even assuming there doesn't need to be an updated Jelly Bean, since this build was for google IO not general consumption).

Working a little better for me to, sometimes a command won't work and other times it will. If you notice the download pack for English US is 22mb and every other language (Inc. English uk) are 15mb. This has me to belive that the commands are built into the US pack. As some Google now guides have stated.

sorry, only just seen this, in Google Now settings, set it to use Google.com, also set language of phone to US English, then all the commands work, the cards appear with photos etc.

Proceed at your own risk.
Tested as working on:
AOSP
ParanoidAndroid
CM9
ProTip: Back up your information.
ProTip: If your device ends up being non-responsive, and somehow starts the zombie apocalypse, I warned you a total of 3 times to be careful, so it is your sole responsibility.
Last ProTip: This isn't my app, all credit goes to febycv.
Requirements
Rooted Device running AOSP
Hands
Procedure
Download this: http://d-h.st/GZ1
Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system
Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.

Sorry, like I said, I'm not the creator of this, but apparently, voice will not work unless you're on JB, because it need the JB framework to run.

Well, technically, the main function is to search, voice search is an option, you can always type out your search.
Also, what's the point of installing anything that you know isn't stable? It's the fun of testing it, or getting a preview...

I'm using it on a leaked Samsung ICS ROM with very little issues. It's really cool... Can't wait to have a fully functional "now"!

NFC works on Stock based ROMS but not CM9, CM10 or AOKP (Rogers/AT&T Version)

So my NFC hasn't worked since the first day I had the phone. I played around with Touchwiz and thought it was quaint and funny, but not for me. So I tried out AOKP and CM9 nightlies of ICS, which were pretty stellar, despite dealing with the camera issues that have since been resolved. Then I switched to the CM10 Preview Builds, and while I absolutely love it, I really miss the android beam/NFC party tricks that my galaxy nexus and nexus s friends and I would play to entertain the ladies.
In all seriousness. NFC has only worked for me on Stock, Stock Rooted, DietICS, and the only other Stock or Stock-based ROMs I have flashed. I have installed and reinstalled AOKP or CM9 and CM10 several times, doing full wipes all around, and my problem is:
On AOSP built or based-from ROMS, the option to tick the NFC box results in it blacking until I restart the phone. It never activates. Ever. I've held that thing up to my Nexus 7 corner trying to see if it maybe is activated but just not allowing me to unactivate -- that is NOT the case.
Anybody got any clues or ideas as to what might be going on here? If I nandroid back to one of the backups of the other stock-based ROMs, NFC works, as it does if I then wipe and flash a different stock-based one.
A friend of mine (with a White Bell SGS3 [mine's black and the Rogers version]) just had me root/unlock/flash a JB rom onto his phone, and his NFC works. I felt incredibly left out.
Any advice would be appreciated. Legacy drivers or libs from the Samsung distribution? A carefully tweaked SQL DB? Anything, anybody? NFC isn't faulty, and wouldn't qualify for a warranty exchange since it does work on the original unrooted stock nandroid that I did before moving on to a Touchwizless life.

look at this thread

yeah. I checked that out, but though it works for sgs2, it didn't work for me. Currently I'm trying to copy over some of the old nfc-related libs and files from a stock-based rom and seeing if that'll do the trick...

I'm using CMX. No problems with NFC. See if you can get your hands on a different battery with NFC. Make sure your stuff isn't bad.

I have the exact same problem as the OP using CM10 from day one. When I went back to Sammy stock NFC worked. I don't use NFC so I chose to stick with CM10. My friends NFC on his SGS3 works fine running CM10. I tried switching battery's with him for a test and it was still a no go. I'm not sure what is going on but at least now I know it isn't just me. Hopefully somebody does figure it out at some point.
Here is how the option looks after I enable it. It remains checked but darkened out and does not work. After rebooting the phone it is not checked any more.

[Q] SlimBean 3.0.0, T989D: Incompatible app from Google Play

Hello all!
I have a T989D (Koodo) running the latest SlimBean rom v3.0.0. There is one game from the Play Store, Monopoly, that constantly refuses to install saying it's not compatible. It installs fine on CM10 stable and also on AOKP JB Milestone 1, both on the very same phone. But when running SlimBean, it just won't install. In fact, it doesn't even show if you do a Play Store search, you have to browse to it through your purchased app list, and then you're given the "This application isn't compatible with your device" nonsense. One obvious answer would likely be "Just use CM10 or AOKP", but I really prefer SlimBean. It's level of customization is astonishing, and I like that.
I have compared the build.prop files from the 3 ROMs mentioned, and have done 1 correction in the file under SlimBean, but it hasn't changed a thing (yes, I have cleared Play Store data and cache). Needless to say, I have rebooted a million times too, as well as reinstalling from scratch about 6-8 times.
Every other app installs fine, just this one. Of course, manually installing the APK works, and the game runs fine, but then I lose the updates that come through Google Play. And, you know, installing the "official" way just feels better...
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Thanx in advance!

Same problem with the t989 (hercules). Electronic Arts' Monopoly cannot be found on the Play Store and I cannot install my APK that I backed up with ROM ToolBox. Can anyone help?
I'm running Slim Bean V3 with the AIO Inverted Package. Using TWRP v2.3.1.1.
Thanks!

Just for kicks, I re-did it all and installed CM10 stable. The Google Play Store can find the Monopoly game and it installs fine. Wipe all, install AOKP JB Milestone 1. Same thing, Play Store can find and install the game without problems. Wipe all, install SlimBean v3.0.0. Play Store laughs at me for even mentioning Monopoly.
Now, I also have a Nexus S and a Galaxy Nexus. Why not have some fun...
For some strange, unknown reason, Crespo and Maguro WILL install Monopoly under SlimBean v3.0.0 (using the same Google account). So it appears the problem is limited to the T-989D only...in my case at least.
Advice, anyone?
Thanx!

You think thats weird....If I have a Gingerbread rom on my phone I can go into the marketplace and search for bejeweled 2(which I purchased) and download it no problem......If ICS or JB is installed it doesnt even show up in a search.....I dont get it

the problem is in you dpi, follow the process in slimbean UI setting
set to default dpi (240), reboot, clear market cache,back, then select the dpi you want "slimbean defalt 180 dpi"

I haven't tried Gingerbread on either my Crespo or Hercules since I got them both after ICS was released. Might be worth the try though. But then again, on the Hercules, AOKP and CM10 both allow me to install Monopoly in Jelly Bean, just not when using SlimBean.
On a more positive note, the patch issued for the greyed out notification toggle switch (LED flashlight) works flawlessly and is much appreciated!
Thanx!

This has been done each and every time I retried an installation from scratch (full wipe). The procedure itself works flawlessly, it's a simple process (to change the DPI). But, still no dice. Every other app I have bought installs fine, but this one.
Thanx anyway!

+1 on this issue. It seems to be apps at random.

I followed your suggestions and changed my dpi to 240 and I'm still having the incompatibility issue.

I just flashed CM10 Stable and the Original signed Gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) and still have the same issues.
Original Monopoly, Qik, and other apps cannot be found in the Play Store and cannot be restored from backup due to incompatibility issues. Apparently is not gapps related and based on this fact it appears to be a JB issue.

That's really strange... In my case, only Monopoly refuses to cooperate. Not that I would want other apps to misbehave, but still... We seem to be in the dark at different levels regarding this issue. Then again, CM10 worked in my case.
Still searching for answers...

Just to knock DPI out of possible causes completely, try the multi DPI patched store:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31656210
Make sure you clear data for the store before flashing.
DPI changes is the only thing that has caused incompatibility problems. Another symptom is a incorrect count for installed apps in "my apps" in the play store.

Will re-try this again tonight when I get home. I had tried this procedure and it did not work, but I have nothing else to try anyway. I won't leave this friggin' phone alone until it does what I want, hehe.
Thanx!

Well, I could not believe this, but it happened. After seeing that once again, it did not work, I decided to laugh a bit and reinstalled the stock Koodo image. Back on 4.0.4 ICS from Koodo for T989D.
And now, guess what?????
Yep, yep & yep!!!! It won't install!!!!!!!!
Now I know for SURE it's not SlimBean's fault, something else is to blame here. A friggin' Monopoly game that installs just fine on Nexus S, but for some obscure reason refuses to install on a more powerful phone? Well, f* me!
Of course, sideloading the APK worked from the start, and worked good too! I just wanted to go at it the official way, but it appears EA or Google think otherwise.
Sideloading it is for this game! I'm done searching for the cause seeing it won't even install on stock.
Thanx to all who offered some help!

i was having the same problem installing some games but changing the dpi to 240 helped me.....:good:
