Does anybody know of a way I can track a phone's location that has GPS on?

Only if you have a particular app installed before you need to track it. I use seek droid.

Have sprint locate via MSID or serial number. unless if the phone is off it won't work. you can only have track them a phone that is on your account, but since its your phone it won't be a problem.

If your still signed in to your account on the phone. Go to the play store on a PC and install "plan b" to the lost phone. Obviously if the phone has been wiped this won't work.

To anyone using this method/mod, are you guys able to make any phone calls? Everytime i try to, phone FCs

Yes phone calls work fine. I doubt your issue is because of Google wallet.

Just a word of caution, if you flash new rom after installing wallet make sure you reset from within wallet before flashing to avoid secure element error. The error could potentially make your device not work with wallet ever again.

I tried this and it didnt work. I did the following:
- Build.prop changes
- downloaded market enabler and ran t-mobile/verison fake emulation
- downloaded google wallet from play store.
Now.. I try to link my gmail account. It loads forever. And eventually closes.
Any thoughts?

Worked fine for me also. I'm pretty sure that if you change your build.prop back to T-999 it'll continue to work once set up
Lol. Nope. Can't change your build.prop back

Cydia Substrate for Android

http://www.cydiasubstrate.com/
for Android
Supported on versions 2.3 through 4.2,
including Kindle Fire, CyanogenMod, and Intel.
While Android itself is "open", the devices that run it often aren't. Before installing Substrate, you will first need to get root access on your device.
Depending on which device you have, and which version of Android, this process differs; we therefore can't provide a simple recommendation.
Once you have root, you will need to install our APK, run the application, click Install, and grant Superuser access to Substrate when prompted.

Interesting
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

@jd14771: In the play store description it says:
Users should keep in mind that Substrate includes a safety feature: by holding down the volume-up button on your device you can disable Substrate while it is attempting to load these modifications (such as while it is turning on and starting); this will give you an opportunity to use Google Play to uninstall things that might be broken.

If you don't like it just don't use it lol
Also when I used my network worked fine I was on liquid smooth ROM may 3 or 5 build not sure anyways winter board wouldn't open up however. Back on cm10.1 and haven't tried it again don't plan on till it gets updated

Google Wallet update

I noticed there's a new version of the wallet app, and from the looks of it, the app itself loads on more devices now because Google is using it for more than just tap and pay. Problem is I don't know if this affects the workaround to get the old versions working (changing the build.prop and using the xposed module)

The update may not have been pushed to you yet. The latest update enables Google Wallet on all Android phones.
I would assume you could still install it with the mod/workaround just like older versions for NFC support.

Well seeing as how our phone does not have a secure element chip, we fall under the "Non-NFC devices" category. The app will work for other methods of payment.

The new T-Mobile SIM cards with the chips in them are only for ISIS. As far as making a "mobile" payment? No. We can only send payment via email with the app. I'm sure they have plans for more integration with other services and other payment methods in the future. It seems to me that if you can send money via email, you should be able to use NFC just like PayPal does, but I guess that's up to Google.

So we still probably need the older version if we want to tap and pay

Looks like it as Tap and Play has been removed for our device. We aren't a supported device yet. In Settings > About > Tap and Play is listed as Not Available. Had it throughout the weekend with the Xposed Mod and Nexus Build.prop before the update.

Tmobile atnt and verizon are backing isis, an upcoming competitor to google wallet. So they have not allowed it on our phones..
To clarify, with the new app you no longer need a patched apk or xposed mod. You do need the libs in the flashable zip. You also need to do the app setup while your build.prop is the nexus or sprint values. So some of you have to redo the setup with a modified build.prop (clear data or reinstall to redo the setup)

This worked for me as well. It didn't give me an option to "tap and pay," using the Sprint build.prop. I had cleared Wallet data and reboot but nothing. When I switched to the Galaxy Nexus build.prop, once I reset Wallet and rebooted, I was able to get wallet going, my pin was already attached to my email, which Wallet gave me an option to choose from.
From there, I was able to set-up tap and pay and pick my default payment of choice.
I also noticed a much more lenient "lock" time for Wallet: immediate, 15 minutes, 1 day. I guess if you're running a custom ROM, be sure you don't select "screen on, locked" option for NFC.
I haven't had a chance to use it, as I'm already home for the night, so I'll be testing tomorrow and reporting back.
Has any of you Wallet users been having problems before this new update? Mine suddenly stopped working at CVS and McDonalds, but I can still read and write NFC tags.

I too was missing the tap to pay section after the latest update.
To get it back I uninstalled the latest update then rebooted. Upon reboot the original Google Wallet wouldn't activate.
I then changed the build.prop to the settings in the thread on how to initially install it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383251
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
I rebooted and Google Wallet activated. I then went into the play store and let Google Wallet update itself. I ran it to verify that I could see the tap to pay section then modified the build.prop back to the defaults for the Tmobile SG4. and rebooted.
ro.product.device=jfltetmo
ro.product.model=SGH-M919
ro.product.name=jfltetmo
After this reboot I can still see the tap to pay in the latest version from the app store. I will test it at a 7-11 where I have used Google Wallet previously tomorrow but am hopeful it will work properly.
Hope this helps someone else.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

When your phone is rooted, it knows, and so do the apps. That's why you cannot install isis wallet if your phone is rooted. In the about section in settings, it says if the device is rooted. If it says modified then it is rooted and any app can probably see that. Doesn't mean that tmobile knows it is, but the app does, and it may, or may not report this back to them.

They went commercial, now are a official corporation. They are looking to make that money, eventually. With features like a CM account, privacy guard, secure messaging they were getting ready for it. None of those are attractive though.

it seems more likely the purchase fees will be for the added features. Allcast is the perfect example. It's a CM app on the app store that has a time limit unless you pay money. That's their future. I can easily imagine a CM rom that is basically AOSP, and a collection of appstore apps that you have to pay money for to get the "Full CM experience". Of course, if you buy a CM phone (like the oppo n1), you'd get all those for free.

Or they just collect your data and sell it on their own kinda like Google
