Hey guys I've tried asking in the threads for these fixes but to no avail so hopefully someone will be able to help me if I make a thread for it. So my issue is that I've been using Google Wallet just fine with no issues using the "build prop edit, reboot recovery and move wallet apk into system/apps" method and it worked until a couple of CM10 updates awhile ago after which it stopped working, I've tried to go back to stock and use the touchwiz fix which also didn't work and currently I'm on the latest AOKP on which I still can't get it to work.
What seems to be happening is that the wallet app is not actually installing in the system, so after I copy the apk and restart, there is still no wallet app or anything in my drawer or if I try the zip file flash method after the restart I'll get a force close for wallet and then the app is gone as well. Not sure why it's happening or what to do, any help is appreciated and hopefully we can get me back on wallet asap, I'm glad I already used the prepaid card up lol.
I'm not sure if you posted in the correct section but here's your problem you need your permissions to be correct. make them match this

Actually now that you mention it I realize it's in the wrong forum as well my bad, and I've tried that as well actually I just neglected to say it. Maybe you can advise me of everything you did and I can try it again I've got my nandroid already ready lol. And did you flash the zips or do the copy of the apk? Thanks again for the quick response.

I'm currently on the latest AOKP, I've tried it on codefirex, CM10 and the jellybean official leak(for the leak I tried the touchwiz fix method) and I've tried r75 and r79 neither are working but the copying the r75 apk into system/app method is what worked before. On the touchwiz fix method I actually was able to get wallet open but then it would say NFC would have to be enabled at which point the whole NFC/S-beam options would mysteriously disappear from the settings screens. There would also be a random vibration for no reason every few seconds.
Here's what I do
First I flash my rom then
I reboot. And with root explorer I put the wallet apk into the /system/app folder
I then change the permissions to the correct type. Then I access my build. Prop and make the three necessary changes. After that I reboot and I am able to use wallet with no problems. Btw I am using aokp and ill post the wallet apk I use in one sec. Are you on a Sammy rom because if you are you will most likely have to flash the new lib files as well

If you are on aokp DO NOT flash the libs files. I here's the wallet I use http://db.tt/F6b4VTun
And here try this too its a modified build . Prop to be used for aokp ONLY it goes in /system/ (do not forget to do the permissions properly on both before reboot) http://db.tt/3JaUsEMv

Also NEVER Forget To RESET WALLET BEFORE a New ROM Flash or you WILL BREAK Your SECURE element and once you get wallet working make a backup of the rom so if you do one day forget you can restore the backup, reset wallet and hopefully fix the issue

Ok thanks for all the help I really appreciate it, I followed your instructions and am using the files you provided. I'll update in a sec, and no I tried a Sammy rom previously but as it didn't work I'm on AOKP now.

Ok so I used the files provided but now the phone won't boot up at all, it goes as far as the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo and then stops and stays black no bootanimation or anything, I'm gonna restore my nandroid and just see what happens if I use the apk alone and just manually change the build prop values for product device, model and name. Would you recommend the Galaxy Nexus values or the htc jewel? I use to use the Galaxy and it worked fine. I was also using root toolbox pro to edit the build prop which use to work as well,

I was confused about the reset wallet thing, I use to go on the wallet website and disable the app from there, not sure if that was right or not. I have not received any of the broken element msgs, there's just no wallet period lol.
Update, it didn't work. I did the move, edited the build prop but Wallet just won't appear despite being in the system/app folder rw-r-r

Hi
I've posted a few threads relating to my issue, and I keep thinking it is solved, but the issue still lingers for me. The previous posts are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791701
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808195
My current issue is having a few apps write to storage. The 3 apps that are most obvious are:
Dropbox - when exporting a file, it says 'error exporting file'
Beautiful widgets - I download a skin, but it doesn't show up in the downloaded files list.
Sixaxis - I made a custom controller profile, and hit save, but it doesn't save. The folder to put downloaded profiles doesn't seem to exist.
I'm pretty sure this issue started when I used the Gnex toolkit to backup and restore when I was updating from Android 4.0.3 to 4.1.
If I knew it would help, I would go so far as to restore back to 4.0.3, and factory reset,
Anyone offer any insight into this?
Thanks
So you probably already checked this, but I remember having this problem when my sd was full...

Yep, still have about 5 GB free
So just to clarify, have you changed anything with your phone such as flashing a rom, rooting, or a custom kernel?
If so you might want go back to stock and see if that fixes it.

Yeah.
My carrier was being really slow about releasing Jelly Bean, so I rooted, and installed it myself.
It was "bigxie_JRN84D_rooted_busybox_deodexed" for 4.1 and
Maguro_JZO54K_Deodexed_Rooted_FactoryImage_teshxx for 4.1.2
Both just zipped version of the factory image. I didn't change the Kernel beyond that.
My carrier has now released the most current version now, so I could return to stock, then root again.
Sounds like a good idea, and if you're looking for a good Rom,I would suggest minco, it's as stable as stock and a whole lot faster with better battery life.

Think I got it solved.
Previously I was doing a factory reset on the phone, so it was restoring the same ROM.
Today I used the Gnex toolkit, and flashed the stock rom from google, and re-rooted. That seems to have worked. I can export files from Dropbox no problem now.
Glad to hear it

Ok the system update crap has been driving me nuts.
so I finally got the deodex rooted ma7 update for the Note II (sprint) and its STILL bugging me about a system update ??
what gives? I installed deodex ma7 and ma7 modem.
am I missing something?
Accept the update, it will fail harmlessly and not ask you again.

The post above is correct. However to answer your question its bugging you to update cause the latest is MC2
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Update. It will ask again in a few days. So it's not a very good answer. I believe there is an apk you can remove or freeze but I don't know what it is off hand. Sorry.

I didn't stay on the rom I was running long enough to see if it will ask again. Thx for pointing that out. But if you're running deodexed stock just install deodex stock mc2. Theres also the flashable mc2 modem and kernel. Its all in our android development section.

Installing MC2 is one way, but since MC2 kills both Wallet and your battery, I don't think it's a super great option.
Found an app called System Update, but so far even uninstalling it does not prevent the notification.
blargh...
I've now backed up and un-installed System Update, Smart Device Manager, Sprint DM Service, Sprint Installer, SysScope, Sprint Zone, and still, the notification is there upon reboot.
Logcat Extreme shows some weird stuff at the moment. It's showing something called SystemUpdateService verifying that the update zip is downloaded into /cache, but then it's also showing an error that says SystemUpdateService application does not exist. So what's running then? Maybe a dalvik cached copy. I'm going to reboot into twrp and wipe cache and dalvik and we'll see...

The APK you're looking for is FWUpgrade.apk
-go to /cache
-delete update file
-go to system/app
-Rename FWUpgrade.apk to FWUpgrade.apk.bak
-Accept the update and attempt to run(it will end the count down and do nothing)
-reboot phone and it'll never ask you again to update

So far as we know so far that's correct.
Possible exception that I haven't tested myself or seen anyone else yet either:
The xposed framework hack and any normal market version of Wallet doesn't work so far.
But there is another way to get working Wallet which is to use a patched wallet apk that doesn't need xposed framework. I am currently using that patched wallet apk and no xposed framework. Maybe that version will work on mc2 or maybe not. I haven't seen anyone say about it yet. All I've seen is that the regular market version of wallet plus xposed framework which works on ma7 does not work on mc2.
Battery life dont really seem much different to I me. And I never use wallet much anyhow.

Well... es explorer says there are no files in /cache including not the filename that logcat clearly shows. Yes I have show hidden files in settings and yes I'm rooted.
And... I already have no such apk named FWUpgrade.apk anywhere.
So I'm rather mystified. Because I still get the notification even after wiping both cache and dalvik in twrp and rebooting.

...ok so after all this, with all these apks deleted and the cache empty etc, then I went to the notification and accepted the update one more time, it failed of course. And now finally I think that cleared it.
So it's not enough to accept the update and let it fail.
It's not enough to delete (or freeze or rename etc) one or more apk's.
You have to do both. Disable the apk(s). Wipe cache or delete files in /cache. THEN accept the update and let it fail.

Thanks. I will stay on ma7 since I use Google wallet often. Plus the only real issue I'm having is the home button issue and sometimes the show gallery. Both I can deal with.

Still no more notification.
Yay!
Now just to figure out which of those eleventy-seven apk's I removed was the only one that actually mattered....
Maybe one of them was named FWUpdate.apk as the other Brian mentioned, and I just never saw it's filename because I was seeing the package name in Titanium or System Tuner Pro instead and maybe already uninstalled it before he posted.

OK so i have the Sprint version, S G Nexus with Slim Bean, stable version toroplus.4.3.build.1-OFFICIAL-901
I'm having an issue with the themed MMS.apk
I just rooted this phone for the first time, i know what I'm doing btw.
When after reaching the limit to split, it won't split. It just stops typing. The counter above the send arrow just stays at 0(zero) I have to send it and continue my message.
QUESTION: Is there a quick fix for this?
I haven't re-installed the ROM, I will shortly.
I appreciate any help, its not a big issue but if it can work, that would be awesome. Thanks
----------------------
INSTRUCTIONS ON SOLVED ISSUE
----------------------
Ok os what i did was backup my current Slim Bean ROM, then i flashed CM 10.1.3 (4.2.2) stable, went into /system/apps/mms.apk, copied it. I restored my backup, deleted the old mms.apk from /system/apps i copied and pasted the new one, i didnt install it or anything, just copy and paste. went into recovery to wipe cache and Dalvik cavhe. rebooted, SUCCESS.
Now i should have thought about Going on STABLE 2 Slim Bean before trying all this, lol.
Open up settings in Messaging. There should be a tick box or some setting to dictate message splitting. Alternately, replace the Mms.apk with one from another ROM if that one doesn't have the setting for it.
There is but it don't work. I tried unistalling mms.apk without success, I was using System App remover, I've always used it with my Epic 4G Touch (S2).
I cleared cache force stopped and disabled, no success.
Any other app I can use to remove system apps?

Made Backup
Installed XenonHD stable
Mms worked
Extracted mms
Restored backup
Still couldn't uninstall mms
Tried to install over current apk, no success
XenonHD 4.2.2
Slim Bean 4.3
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
When I replace an apk I do this. Pull the new apk from whatever ROM you're taking it from, delete current Mms.apk with something like Root Browser, move new Mms.apk to /system/apps/, fix permissions, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. See if that works.
Edit: You don't install the apk. You have to actually replace the new one with the old one in /system/apps/. Do this with an app like Root Browser using the steps I listed.
Tried with 2 different ROM mms.apk both wouldn't open the app after reboot.
I will try other things, will post if any success, thanks.

SecExchange.apk
SecExchange.odex
SecEmail.apk
SecEmail.odex
using es explorer to set /system to RW, copy the above files to /system/app, change permission to rw-r--r-- for all of them
set /system back to RO
reboot
the calendar and mail app didn't come back, not in the app drawer.
tried to go to /system/app and click related apk to install, it shows: "application not installed".
could anyone point me what is missing? thanks.

Already rebooted couple times.not sure if there is compatibility issues?
As long as you pulled them from the same Rom/build version it should be fine. You could always reflash your Rom or firmware and start again.

As the good Doctor said, Reflash your Rom. Since its the same rom, I don't think you will loose any data. The bloat might come back.
I think you possibly deleted other related Apks sich as GMS or Google Core. Or may be those apks you tried are from different version. If you want to De-bloat, try one of the guides like this one.
Flashing the same will restore everything to the roms original state and won't wipe anything.
Not sure if it's the same as Perseus' link, but Aerowinder has a debloater in his signature a few post a back.

I *think* the problem might be I am not using the correct apk...
I used root66 way odin flashed MB7system.tar.md5 to root the phone, didn't flash any other ROMs.
When I tried to get those 6 apk, I was not able to get those from MB7system.tar.md5(unzip it to .ext4 file and don't know what to do with it).
So I got those files from T999L_UVAMB7_PureStockRooted.zip. Could this be the problem?
DocHoliday77, how can I get those 6 files from MB7system.tar.md5? I'd try this first before I reflash it again.
regarding reflash, in my case, do I just odin MB7system.tar.md5 again? and my own app/data will stay?
thanks

If you are on Linux you can Untar that file. If on Windows you should be able to open the tar with Winzip. Either way Re-Flashing Tar should not delete your data.
With the firmware it's not quite so simple as extracting it. (Youd need to install the kitchen and use it to extract everything from the .img.ext4 file. This has already been done though and is what the pure stock Rom was built from)
If you pull it from the pure stock Rom, make sure you are also getting the corresponding .odex files.
If you already are, then you need to flash either CWM or TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache.
Or you can factory reset
Or you can reflash the firmware on top of what you have now. No wipe required.
All of these things should be relatively easy to do. If you've already got the root66 firmware, then easiest would be to just reflash it.
Putting the correct files back in /system/app should work, but if not, that's probably your best option.
