[Q] accidentally uninstalled nfc..

I have the verizon galaxy nexus and i somehow accidentally uninstalled nfc.. Last month i tried installing one of the hacked google wallet ports for the nexus. I installed it through the clockwork recovery, and made sure to make a backup before doing this. That version of google wallet didnt work right, so i just deleted it with root explorer. When i found out that google wallet can now be installed from the market, i immediately downloaded it to try it out, but every time i tried to open it, it would get an error. So i went to my backup and attempted to copy the old nfc files back to the system folder (i/e: NfcGoogle.apk and com.android.nfc_extras.jar), but that failed to work.
So any ideas on how to fix this and get nfc working again?
Im kinda new to android as a whole, this phone is my first smartphone. Im hoping this is a simple fix and i dont have to to a factory restore or anything. My phone is rooted too if that helps, and I still have the google wallet files i intalled too.
The attachment is a screenshot of what my wireless and networks menu looks like.
Any help is appreciated

"Secure Element Not Responding" ?
If that's the case, sorry, you need a new phone.
You shouldn't have installed any hacked Google Wallet in CWM.

It said that when I had the nfc files from the hacked google wallet..but with the old files it just says "unfortunately, wallet has stopped" ..and I know that now, at the time I just found the easiest guide to follow for installing it though.

Damn
Sorry man, you borked NFC.
You might be able to use it again by flashing back to stock images, but you won't be able to use Google Wallet again, that's for sure.
If you can, try to get an exchange

Huh oh well , I guess ill just give up on using nfc..its not too important to me. Its just too bad I won't be able to use a feature of the phone.
@samsuck Maybe I will flash the stock images sometime this weekend and see if that fixes anything..hopefully it will bring back at least some nfc functionality. Oh and I'm pretty sure its too late for me to exchange phones 0.o

[Q] Google Wallet

With the latest update for Google wallet, can I update it thru the market or wait for a modified apk? Also I've seen multiple threads on how to install wallet on the S3. One way being for touchwiz ROMs and another for AOSP ROMs. can anyone point me in the direction for the AOSP install? I've tried with touchwiz and it didn't work with all the threads. So now I wanna see if there's a specific way for AOSP.

my touchwiz version worked great. I am now on AOSP and hopefully can get the newest wallet and tutorial on the install as well....i cant find that specific technique either.

I'm using Paranoid Android ROM which is CM10 based and I followed instruction on this thread to get my Wallet working on my SGIII without any problem.
I also used that thread when I was on TW ROM too... for AOSP based ROM, just don't install the lib&nfc fix

Not all OTA's work with the Google Wallet patch. For example:
I'm still running the very first UVALEM firmware with the OTA UVALH2 Radio/Modem. (I'm rooted, thus I was able to install a different radio)
I choose not to download any firmware update because I like Google Wallet that much, and because I don't care much about the Brightness Slider.

Has anyone found the newest hacked wallet apk? I think it was updated yesterday? also I read that if you want to add cards you have to change your build prop to Galaxy Nexus or HTC jewel, add the cards, reboot, then change the settings back to normal.

I read that the wallet doesn't work on LH2 ROMs. Does that mean I it won't work on my AOKP ROM?

Thats just your baseband. You can change the baseband to whatever you want. When they say it doesnt work on LH2 ROMs they are talking about stock.

It's posted on that section but it shouldn't hurt to try it since you aren't flashing or fiddiling with anything for different devices. All you are doing is just setting the permissions for the app APK. You might also have to change the build prop to the nexus or any device that wallet supports, just in case.

Well if you would have clicked "learn more" you would know that it only says that because you have a rooted device. It doesnt affect the usability of the app at all.

I was gonna use it today, but now it says "it's unsupported on my carrier/device" and closes.

This woked for me on Frosty JB
I'm on Frosty JB V5.
Initially I tried the below steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
I was able to get wallet installed and add cards. And then I started getting the "unfortunately, NFC service has stopped" errors whenever I opened the browser, gmail, play store and some other google apps (not all).
Then I reverted back to my nandroid before wallet and tried the below patch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921233
Here are the steps that worked for me:
Change build.prop (I used Galaxy Nexus)
Reboot to recovery
Flash the patch JMJellybeanWalletFix.zip
Flash com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r79-v5.zip (from the first link)
Restart. Go to play store, search for google wallet and make sure automatic update is off. Or else it overwrites the app and it doesnt work anymore.
Open wallet, login and add card
restore original build.prop and reboot.
I still havent used it to purchase anything. But atleast I've got the thing up and running.

Thanks I'll check it out and report back
Edit: I'm on codename android and when I change the prop to nexus settings it works, but when I go to back to original it says it's not supported but the carrier/network
any idea why?

If the above doesn't work, you could try pushing all the files manually, then fixing the permissions. That's how I installed it, twice. Open up the .zip to see where all the files are to be placed. If there are any duplicates, replace them with the new, but save the old ones first to a labeled folder, of course. That's in case you want to go back.

I tried your link. I already had that Google now zip but I re downloaded and tried again. Flashed but still nothing happened... This is really annoying Idk why it's not working. I'm just on stock rooted rom from mobile Odin. I mean flashing other things work. I flashed a theme mod and it worked fine. Why is this not working!
I'm not sure how to push manually but ill try opening like you said and try to figure it out.

The meta INF folder isn't supposed to be pushed, that is a list of instuctions that places all the other files in their proper places when the zip is flashed in recovery. The velvet.apk is the most important part. I'm not sure what you mean by "couldn't install" it. If you tried using the Android installer, that would probably make sense as it doesn't always work with modded apk's. You would have to copy/past it into /system/app manually, first either copying the existing one to another location on your sd card or just leaving it where it is and renaming it "velvet.apk.bak". Then all of the files that you pushed have to have their permissions set correctly. Just follow what you already see for the various .apk's, files, and folders. Then you should reboot. Now before doing any of this (any changes at all) make a nandroid so if something goes really wrong you can restore back to where you were.
EDIT: I see you solved your problem. Good show!

In the new update the name of the google search apk change so most of the zips floating around for Google now havent updated to the new name so yes just deleting it will work untill the updater-script changes in the zips

So I have it installed but it says a new version is available in the play store. Obviously can't get it from the store but is there an updated version that works on our phone?

No, we on ICS just have to ignore that for now. Someone (a new dev) in the original thread claimed he could mod the updated version for us, but many are skeptical.
EDIT: What you can do is get the present GN to display your sports teams. Before the devs stopped working on this, an Aussie developer came real close to getting it working. What you can do is temporarily replace the velvet.apk and use the updated lib file. This will allow you to set teams. The problem with this version for me is that is was mute. I would not talk back no matter what plus it would force close every time I tapped "show more cards". So the thing to do is restore the original valve.apk after you've go your teams set (set every single team you are interested in before you restore the original velvet.apk) and that's it. They will always show up after that through a Titanium restore when you flash another ROM and you won't have to repeat this process again. The other way guys were doing this was to flash a Jelly Bean ROM, set their teams in GN, then flash back to ICS. This is a shortcut to that process. Unfortunately, the movie listings and emergency notifications available in the JB version of Google Now won't stick once you go back. I'll link you to the post. Incidentally, I pushed these manually too then fixed permissions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31991861&postcount=5824

The Google now I'm using I can already add sports teams. Just wanted the theaters n stuff with the new version.

I wonder if I missed a version that allows that. I've followed the GN thread for quite some time and only the JB versions could allow adding sports teams. In our version the settings are there, but they don't work AFAIK. I'm keeping my eye on the new JB port by DocHoliday. As soon as he adds in WifiCalling Im going to flash it and enjoy all of GN. Or, flash the real thing if the rumor that T-Mob is releasing JB or Wednesday is true, lol.

I'll either get something like "Setting up Wallet. Can take up to 5 mintues" and then it says my device isn't fully initialized OR it'll get past that and then error when adding the card. Anyone found a fix yet? Tried on CM10, AOKP, JellyBeer etc - no luck.

Same issue here. I think its something to do with our hardware. Also if I use the wallet app in the play store everything works but when trying to add card, request failed. I also noticed that about section says Google secure element version not present. A quick search revealed that the "secure element" may have been soft bricked thus causing the request failed error. Further research also shows that it can be fixed by removing your device from wallet using a PC. Then remove app, reflash. I haven't reflashed yet as I have far too many customizations. Someone try this and let me know

I was getting the same error. I contacted google wallet support through email and after a lot of back and forth, they got it working. I don't know what they did but there is a fix. Here is the response I got from them;
Hello,
I apologize for the delayed response. There have been some new updates in regard to your issue. These steps should help in resolving the
issue. If you have already taken these steps, please do so again. Can you please reset the device? You can do this by navigating to app
Settings > Reset -OR-- by navigating to the Android system Settings >Apps > Wallet and select ‘Clear data'. Then, reset the app by logging
into wallet.google.com/manage, disable your device then set up your
account again.
If this does not solve the issue, please inform us so we can
troubleshoot further.
Now, I have run through these steps probably 30 times, with no success. I flashed back to stock and still nothing. That tells me that they have finally figured it out. Funny thing is I RMA'd my phone and the day that I got notice that my new device has shipped, they got it working. Anyway, thought I'd post for others who have probably been pulling their hair out trying to get a fix for the app. Help is on the way (probably)

I have consulted Google support about the card adding issues this is the official response.
Hello,
Thanks for your email.*I understand that you are having issues adding cards to Google Wallet mobile application on your device.*I can see here that you're experiencing a known bug which prevents your device from being able to add your cards to the Wallet app, which we are actively working on. If you have not already, I recommend resetting the Wallet app and trying again periodically while we attempt to resolve the issue.*
Thanks,

If you have any additional questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.

Well its not AOKP, read google's official response on the message above yours, just need to wait. It appears these issues are affecting lots of Nexus 4 owners as google is aware of it (it is not a rom issue or hardware issue) we just gotta wait until the next wallet update I guess

Had to reactivate after flashing CM10?

Hey all, I haven't seen this before and can't really find any info searching. I flashed CM10 and right away the phone said it had to be activated. I figured what the hell and tried to follow the prompts to activate it, it failed. I restored my nandroid backup to the stock TW rooted rom and again it said it needed to be activated, it activated just fine then.
What was that all about? Anyone know why that may have happened? I'm gonna try flashing CM10 again (or some other ROM) , but was wondering what I did wrong or what might have went wrong. It was a clean install of CM10...

Its possible that when you originally did the activation, it didn't ping the server in time from when you 'completed' activation. I've never heard of that issue, and if you were on 3G when doing it, it could have taken a couple minutes. So that's my go at the situation.

Ok so the fix for this issue was to flash a stock rom and follow the activation through with that, and then flash back to CM (reboot first)
If it still doesn't activate, or just to be safe, you can force activation through the dialer by using "##7...." I forget the rest >.<

Thanks for the replies. I did have very bad 3G signal at the time, maybe that could be it?.
The fix was to restore my backup and when it booted up, I was prompted to activate and it worked that time. This morning I did a clean install of CM10 again from the same .zip and it worked without issue.

This happened to me when I went to CM10 from CM10.1. Others have reported loss of service (need to reactive) in the CM10.1 thread. I restored to Touchwiz and all was good.

Yeah this happens sometime, when it does you just need to follow the activation through while using a stock rom
