Google Wallet Installer for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3.
Requires ROOT, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and BUSYBOX!(A deodexed ROM is just recommended)
My newest project, RemoteFlash, was just released! Take a look and give it a try!
Wallet Installer Is Now Available For Free To All Supported Carrier Models On XDA! (Donations Appreciated)
My application, "Wallet Installer", will install Google Wallet on almost any US based Samsung Galaxy S3. It simply edits your build.prop and then places the correct modifications into your system. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which is pretty quick. Just select the appropriate Rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz, and then your carrier: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular. I also added a restore option for your build.prop, so you can restore it after you setup Google Wallet. Hopefully this helps you out and makes the process easier!
Wallet Installer has been updated on the server side. The credit goes to Paul Obrien for the new version! To install it, simply reset Google Wallet, delete it, and then rerun Wallet Installer! Make sure to also have BusyBox installed/updated!
Please donate if my work helps you : )
V3: No Recovery/More Stable
Original Thread: Here
And as always: I take no responsibility for bricked devices, whether a soft brick or a full on brand new coffee coaster.
This sounds great except for the recovery flash. Does the app offer to skip this step so we can keep whatever recovery we may already have installed?

Unfortunately, no. It has to use an open, unencrypted recovery to flash the files. I would allow use of CWM if it was unencrypted, but it's not. An option I am planning on adding in the future is the option to backup your current recovery and flash it after TWRP has been used.

It sounds like you had a bad download. Go under your /sdcard partition and look for files like: "Wallet.zip", "recovery.img", "Fix.zip" and delete them(they shouldn't be there if they flashed correctly). After deleting those files, try again. Make sure you have a good data connection. Preferably WiFi.

Also, make sure you have busybox installed.
That's what it was...needed busy box installer. Worked great. I had the apk and files for libs but that was much better. Thank You, and nice work.

Technically the open recovery isn't an issue, at least not development wise. I use it because there are different versions of CWM rolling around, and they aren't all capable of the same things. This way, with an open recovery flash, I greatly reduce the chance of bricking/other issues.

Recovery Return Question
Thanks for putting this together.
After flashing this, can users return to the recovery of their choice, or are we locked in to TWRP 2?

You can go to whatever recovery you like! TWRP is only used for safety reasons during the flash.

It's not working for me. It reboots into recovery but doesn't do anything. Then the phone doesn't boot into the room and I have to re flash the rom
Edit: I to, did not have busybox installed. you may want to put a warning on the app
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------
Also, if the build prop was edited to SPH-710 the Samsung voice program would still work
EXACTLY what I was looking for. I saw the entire post about getting it working, and just didn't feel that I was "qualified" enough to do what was required. I bought the app and figured I'd give it a try. It took a bit longer to download from the Play Store for some reason, but once it was done, it installed rather quickly.
I then ran the program, and selected as it was instructed. POOF it started installing, and then the phone rebooted into TWRP (I already use TWRP anyway), and all went well. I set up my account and that too went well. I tested it as I could and it works, then I decided to restore my build prop, after that again the phone rebooted, and then tested out wallet. It too works again.
Now then the only thing I am thinking about is automatic updates. I have to have that for another program for my work. I've seen the other post that you do not want the auto updates on. If on the next auto update it causes a problem I will report that here, but I think that just re running the program letting it do the build prop again, get it working, then restoring the build prop should be an easy fix for that.

Glad it helped you! Also, thanks for the thorough post, It's really appreciated. I leave my auto-updates on, but I haven't had any issues. If you were to have issues, you can just reset wallet, restore built.prop(if you haven't already), and run Wallet Installer again.

What happens after you install this get it working then flash a new version of a rom... Im currently using Tasks aokp jellybean rom. Do I need to do this everytime I update a rom or just do it once nad it's done, Also Task has 4.2 available does this matter once I update to his 4.2 releases

Every time you want to flash a new ROM, you have to reset google wallet. Then you can use my app again, after the new ROM flash, and you'll have wallet again. When it comes to 4.2 in specific I can't give you a straight answer, since I don't have access to a 4.2 ROM. My guess is that it will work fine, but it's never been tested.

If I just update a new version of a current Rom as I do weekly doing a dirty flash or not wiping just clearing dalvic cache etc, would I still need to re-install the app. Or only on a full wipe or a new Rom would I need to start from scratch? .
Another question if I re-install the app would I need to setup the payment every time and add new funds or cards or would all that information be available in the account

If you're dirty flashing, you should be fine leaving Wallet as is, but if you need to do a wipe, you should really reset Wallet. All of that information is saved on Google's servers, so it will be there next time

Sounds right. Anything dependent on touchwiz wont work. You're likely to get s lot of incompatible errors because of the changes in the density as well. Running tablet mode comes at a price. you can just sideload the ones it says are incompatible or get them from blackmart.

This is just taking a shot in the dark but maybe something changed in the build.prop. Try pulling the build.prop file from the last version of P.A and replacing the one in /system. Then resync w/google
Hi folks, a few questions if you guys have any thoughts. I'm new to the GS3 (came from the G2X) so bear with me while I try to refigure all this out.
1) I have FrostyJBv4 on my phone now. I want to go to v6, but I hate downloading everything again. I have TiBackup and I used it before, but I felt like there were some random glitches/incompatibilities when I tried to do the restore function and put everything back. Is there a way to just have the appstore just send everything to my phone automatically. I'm hoping there might be an app to download everything from the app store. So basically, I want to just have everything come back fresh onto my phone, without any settings or anything like that. Is that possible, or is TiBackup my only recourse?
2) Regarding the App Store, is there a way to delete apps that I had gotten from there that I would never want to use again. I hate looking at "All Apps" and seeing the more useless stuff still listed there.
3) Modems: referring to this thread. The latest modem is dated 10/17/12 but is listed as ICS 4.0.4. If I had this, would this cause any issues with JB, or should I just have the modem from 9/17/12 that is for JB 4.1.1?
Thanks all

1) Is hit or miss for me, but if I am correct I think it will link to the playstore and download all your previous app's on the new version of FrostyJB_V6.
2) Follow the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932542 for the new Playstore apk that will allow you to permanently to delete the apps you will never use again.
3) I have tryied all ROM's for the TMO S3 and have played around with all the diffrent modems. They are all compatible as long as they are for TMO S3. you can interchange the ICS and JB modems. I would use the MAP feature in the link to the page you posted (DocHoliday flashable modems).
Damn Android_Monsters your fast, beat me to it....lol
2) I just went to all apps and clicked on a live wallpaper and it asked me if I wanted to uninstall it. So you could do it one at a time.
If you ran across that app while searching the playstore it would say purchased, however, if using the same account

Or just dirty flash and save yourself the trouble of backing up your apps. Not sure why it's such a taboo subject around here. It's like the myth of wiping everything 3 times does any good at all. Anything past wipe number one is wasted time. Defies logic.

If he didn't give a specific reason, dirty flash it anyhow. A lot of devs tell you to do it because someone will try to go from ICS to JB without wiping and wonder why it won't work.

Yeah, I was wondering if there was a way outside of TiBackupPro, which I have. I just don't fully trust it. But that's probably because when I did it before, I probably saved settings and that played a role in mucking it up.

I already have this version apparently, but I hadn't seen that feature. Very cool. It's too bad there aren't checkboxes where you can do a batch removal from the appstore. Glad it's in there regardless.

I've had bad experiences with this, but again, could be and probably is chalked up to user ignorance, but I definitely didn't try going from GB to ICS or anything before. At least I hope I wasn't that much of a noob. But I don't mind being safe, especially flashing BB at the same time.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure he recommends it whenever he either changes his base builds (its a mixed base) or makes enough changes to where it could cause issues restoring data. Plus the jb builds are leaked/experimental so you just can't tell what may happen with some random app.
That said, you always can dirty flash, but if you have bugs or run into a problem its better to wipe and reflash before reporting issues.

1) I haven't tried the first thing you asked but I use go backup pro it's a freeware and the best thing about this app is when you're restoring apps it won't ask for your permission meaning you won't have to hit install on each app I know Titanium does that too but last time I checked that option was only available in paid version
2) If you are root then you can get a lot of apps that will un-install apps even if the apps that you can't uninstall normally but be careful when you uninstall system app
3) No it won't cause any issue, infact I am using that modem right now and I am on 4.1.2 JB ROM
I just flashed the initial file, and then setup Google wallet. Then I rebooted into recovery and flash the second file that appears to put your build prop file back to the original Samsung settings.
I tried the other methods mentioned but they didn't work for me.
Here is the link to skynote rom thread and it contains the two files in the first post or so. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093870 You can see who to thank for this at this thread.e
I don't take credit for any of this other than taking a chance and flashing these files from the Skynote Rom thread and trying on my Note 2 that has Cleanrom 4.0.5.
The cards I added to Wallet were my visa credit card, debit card and American Express.
Today I made two vending machine purchases using wallet with pictures attached. FYI I live in the Seattle Washington area and have not tried this wallet anywhere else.

I taught RC3 had the wallet stuff built right in there. No need to flash anything. Just change the build prop after setting up wallet. All these zips do is change the build props from NEXUS back to I317.

If you downloaded the two zip files from sky notes page for Google wallet it tells you that you have to get rid of the old Google wallet stuff so it doesn't get wonky when you set up the new ones.

what do you mean by cant get past? Do you mean it takes more than a few minutes and then you give up and reboot? I would make sure you uninstall any google wallet apk you have on the phone and any other traces of it. Maybe then reboot and try the two files again?
It eventually fails to add the card after a few hours. As for the first failure I gave it many, many hours. Ill give your suggestion a try though. Thanks!

[Q] JMT 6 - Anyone able to get Mobile Print out of the "Goodybag" app to install?
Edit - Meant to say Mobile Print app out of the Goodybag.
First - Great ROM. I've used the last three versions, and so far, it's been a keeper. :good:
Second - I did the usual: Flashed new version over previous version. Tried to install the app, afterwards. When it didn't install, I performed a wipe using TWRP. When that didn't work, I did a fresh install (Complete wipe using Infamous followed by a TWRP wipe then followed by an install of JMT 6).
I haven't had any other issues with this ROM. I just saw this app in PTMR's goodybag, and it would be nice if I could use it.
Actually, there is one more thing: Anyone been able to get Smart Stay to work?
You should be able to extract the Apk from the prior rom's zip and then install it on the new version. If it's one that needs to be installed as a system app, you will need to use a root explorer app to set the permissions.

The app didn't exist in the prior version. The "Goodybag" is additional apps that can be loaded after the ROM installation. Granted, a few apps were included on previous ROM versions, but Mobile Print wasn't one of them.
I've already tried the side install method to make it a system app. Checked permissions, etc. App still won't install.

Oh well. I'll need to email PTMR3 about this. (Been trying to get past the 10 post minimum so I can post directly in the development threads. If it weren't for that, I could ask PTMR3 in his thread. lol.) Thanks for your input, anyway. It's appreciated.
Well, I found out that this app only works with Samsung printers and the app itself is available on the Play Store. Since I don't have a Samsung printer, I'm not going to concern myself with this, anymore.
How do we load the items in the goodybag? I downloaded 3 items and tried to load the from zip via CWM but it ended up getting my phone stuck in a boot loop. I ended up having to flash JMT all over again and start from scratch. Obviously I did something wrong. I've searched all over the forums and all I can find is something about using Aroma to install them, but the process looks confusing.

Hello to everyone.
I am really ready to give up trying to fix the issues that happened after I rooted my Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889V).
Rooted my phone successfully through the procedure described by Chainfire, worked flawlessly, got SU installed. The purpose of the rooting was to get rid of bloatware that took a lot of memory, battery and space. Deleted all prescribed programs, restarted my note and that is where problems started. Obviously, I accidentally deleted something that is related to contacts, messaging and keypad to dial phone numbers. Tried to manually dial the number on the keypad, I got it frozen after inputting 3 numbers (area code) and then black screen appears with the error *Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped* and it goes to home screen. Same happening with messaging. Basically, I lost 2 of the most abilities of the phone to call out/in and send texts in/out. As recommended on some forums here, I cleaned data in Contacts and Contact storage,but it did not help.
I am brand new to this rooting stuff, but it went OK, I screwed somewhere on the step of deleting bloatware from the phone. Lost any idea and hope what to do...My phone is pretty useless now...
Phone data (if it is needed to get an idea what happened and how to fix it) :
Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-T889VVLBMA3
Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Kernel 3.031-861899
Stock ROM
Device status - modified
Please, please, please HELP!!!
THANK You and Grateful!
Do you happen to know what apps you deleted? Actually it would be easier if you just get a log cat of the fc. An app like cat log will do the trick

You most likely deleted one of the contact system apps. It's usually better to freeze an app first (I use titanium backup) to see if there are any problems. If you have a custom recovery twrp or cwm you can flash a custom stock based rom that are usually already debloated. If not use odin and go back to stock and start over. Make sure to backup your essential files/pics first. If you odin back to stock everything on your internal storage will be lost.

I recall majority of Google apps like maps, search,earth, learning hub, movie, music, google+, chrome, news, yahoo news, chokoEURoe, magazines etc. I will try to run catlog and post the results here.
Thank You very much for replying to me!

I backed up everything to google servers through my gmail account, but it did not work, tried to restore it from there but it showed nothing was backed...I do not have custom recovery, so I am going with odin option then? Do I need something else in addition to odin, like original rom T889VVLBMA3? I backed up all my files to the computer HD, hopefully this time I will find files.
In odin does it matter what signature is showing in the top left corner of the screen - I saw T889V, Galaxy SIII , I3171. Do they indicate to which version of Galaxy this odin version was developed? My sorry for these obvious questions, but its better be safe than sorry (for me now). Also, I read on this forum that in addition to restore to stock rom it needs to be cache and factory reset done to get the phone back to *normal* mode and *official*. Do I need to do these as well?
Thank You a lot for providing guidance to me! Very much grateful!

Update 1.
Tried to download and install Catlog from google play, the download stuck at running line for about 10 minutes and then showed *Cannot download due to an error (927)* I guess need to go for a complete restore. What is your opinion?
THANK YOU!
Update 2. So I decided to go for a full recovery to original stock ROM T889_MTC_VVLBMA3 through Odin option v.3.07 It took about 8 minutes, but, Thanks God, it worked flawlessly and now I back to my factory shipped condition Note II
Thank You very much for participation and your advises, much appreciated!
Now I am debating with myself one question - do I need to go for another try of rooting? Major concern is that phone has too many stock applications that I do not like and will never use in m life. What would be your opinion on that matter?
Also, can you point me in right direction how to do it right way? Previously, I used Chainfire method and it worked nicely, should I go with it or there are another ways to do it (I just looking for rooting)?
And one more : there is a description how to root phone by technique from Mr. Robinson and there are links to files to be used with Odin (root66...), but any link that I used for downloading provided me me corrupted 7z archive. Do you know any other rights links to these files?
Thank you aain and best of luck to everyone!
Cheers!
I would recommend a custom rom. Jedimaster and tweaked are very popular here. Both are based off of the stock rom and are debloated. I would download goo manager and use the option to install custom recovery. This will install twrp recovery. Read up on how to use twrp. Its easy once you get familiar with it. In twrp you can make nandroids (backups) of your current rom and install others. Now that you know how to use odin and go back stock everything else should come easy. As far as root I always use odin. Checkout galaxynote2root.com there are great tutorials there and links needed for root and just about everything else.

INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY after you root the phone. Then - reboot and you'll see how it works. You should read upon the very basics of rooting/installing custom roms. Fundamental stuff. Jedi are good custorm roms, I prefer AOSP but you have to use gapps for those.
Download Jedi .zip file and put it on the external card (over 1G) navigate through custome rec, wipe cache/dalvik cashe /system; go back to main menu/install click on .zip file wherever you put it on your external card (preferred to internal) and you're done. I used exynos exploit one click root, and TWRP recovery. It's actually quite simple once go over this first time.
