Searched and didn't see this posted in the ET4G forums anywhere. Found this in the Evo3D forums and it works fine on our phones. I take no credit! Just sharing my find....

awesome!!!!! In case anyone is too anxious to get it going, here are the install instructions:
1. Make sure the app is named Vending.apk.
2 Using root explorer or advice, move it to /system/app/ and replace the previous version, which should also be named vending apk. I recommend backing up the older versionusing titanium backup before replacing it.
3. Set the permissions to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot
its not updating even if i remove the one that is originally there and putting the new one in.... i still have 3.1.5
EDIT: its case sensitive! so name it to lower case "v" and reboot, that made mine work!

So if your like me and you remove pretty much everything verizon the second you get your phone youll like this.
Verizon Backup assistant a really crappy version of google sync. Anyway once you remove the apk files you still have that annoying button in the setting menu. Well Heres a modified SecSettings.apk that removes it.
Just navigate to system/app
Rename the old secsetting.apk to secsetting.old
Then copy the new secsettings.apk and fix permissions.
Someone can make a cw flashable zip for this is they feel so kind.:victory:
Enjoy
This is the International GS3 section. The Verizon Galaxy S3 section is over here.

How did you do this? I am trying to do this exact same thing for Clean Rom 6 and can't figure it out. This dead settings entry is the only thing that makes this rom not seem "Clean"
i decided to try out the s-voice from the gs4 but keep getting network error. can anyone show me were to find the right s-voice for the gs3 on 4.1.1? all the ones i come across are for ics. feel like a dunce for not making a backup of the app before i go and try it out.

1. Download this
2. Use root explorer or another file explorer to extract the apk from the svoice folder
3. Push it to system/app, set correct permissions and reboot
You can use the installer to do it but it has all the stock apps in one place just in case you ever need one. Faster this way as well. good to have on hand

Soo i went over an old patch that i had for my GS3 to find out exactly what files were swapped and replaced from sprints verson..
and this is what i came up with...
system/lib.............
libnfc_ndef.so
libnfc_jni.so
libnfc.so
system/lib/hw
nfc.MSM8960.so
system/etc
nfcee_access.xml
system/app
NFC.apk
NFCTest.apk
.........................................................................................
With them files swapped onto our Tmobile builds, with the addition of build.prop edited to sprints Galaxy nexus, Google wallet in fact worked>>
I went and took the same approach with our Galaxy S4.. except some files were a little different..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I started wallet up with no tweeks/mods and got an error that its not currently available for my device... I then modded the build.prop to...
ro.product.model=SPH-L720
ro.product.name=jfltespr
ro.product.device=jfltespr
I chose sprints galaxy s4 build because i dont wanna lose s voice drive by changing my build to a nexus.. I wanna keep all features working..
I opened wallet up and it did not say that same warning. This time it said something about insecure elements and force closed. So obviously like the S3, a tweak needs to be made..
in the system/app folder, i replaced..
NFCNci.apk
NFCNci.odex
NFCTest.apk
NFCTest,odex
system/lib
libnfc-nci.so
libnfc-nci_jni.so
(there were only 2 files in this folder regarding NFC)
system/lib/hw
nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
system/etc
nfcee_access.xml
.............................................................................................................
after all that, i rebooted.. Clicked on wallet, and wallet opened and prompted me to turn NFC on. When i did, settings force closed.. if i turn nfc on from the pulldown bar, it wont turn on. Sooo NFC is borked....
then i did the same thing MINUS the system/app files since maybe they have nothing to do with the permissions in wallet. i rebooted and now NFC works.. turns on, and does what its supposed to, but when i open wallet, it force closes. I then cleared wallet data, and the same thing,. it freezes and force closes.. I then uninstalled it and installed it again, same problem.
this is where i stand and because i am NOT a dev and dont know the first thing about what they do, i am now at a standstill. It was an honest effort of copying the same method used on the s3. If any devs sees anything wrong with i did, feel free to tell me, or pickup where i left off lol.
Any help would be appreciated . Thanks guys. I realize not many people have this device yet, but i wanted to post this to get the attention!
Im so glad u brought this up!! i brought this up earlier but no one paid attention to it. Would love to see google wallet on this phone as i also had it on my s3. Maybe something to do with knox security on phone?

did u swap from a odex to odex or a deodexed to deodexed version of TW??
note: sawpping deodexed into odex would possibly cause FC's or stuck at TMO boot. btw, if u havent already i recommend installing a clockwormod recovery

yes u are right, i am just making sure.
if u are up for it i can give u some suggestions, do this at your own risk although the worst thing to happen will be that u have to ODIN stock firmware.
please make a nandroid backup before u try this and also install [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.2 or TWRP for the TMO S4..being proficient with ADB will help also but not necessary. MAKE SURE TO MANUALLY BACKUP your EFS folder, i normally just add the EFS folder to ZIP using root explorer and save it to my PC.
ill post back in about 20 mins once download is finished, in meanwhile u can do above if u wish. let me know if u are interested in trying.

Try the following in the EXACT ORDER OF INSTRUCTIONS:
BACKUP your phone using Nandroid and backup your EFS folder just in case.
uninstall any version off Google wallet u have installed and be sure to clear data and cache when uninstalling.
change your build.prop to reflect the following:
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
u may try the sprint s4 build.prop but im not sure yet if it will work, i guess u can experiment:
Code:
ro.product.model=SPH-L720
ro.product.name=jfltespr
ro.product.device=jfltespr
reboot after changing build.prop and saving with PROPER FILE PERMISSIONS
since u are running the odexed android system swap the following from the Odexed TMO S4 with the Odexed Sprint S4 files and be sure to SET PROPER FILE PERMISSIONS
system/app
----------
NFCNCi.apk
NFCNCi.odex

how did you "replace" the files? flash them? or use a file explorer....I am going to guess you used a file explorer other than root explorer and your permissions are wrong. from recovery you can use the (fix permisions) and that will sort them...
(or start over with root explorer)
oh yeah, if you are "testing" twrp, go get clockwork
going to need a logcat once it gets close....
UPDATE.. xeonox...
here is the flashable file i brewed together with the exact files to replace in which you stated
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pemlf59xrtckj41/GS4walletfixx.zip
you guys are more then welcome to download it and try for yourself or even see the files that i swapped over to confirm i did everything right, however i am certain that i did...
anyways i flashed it..... downloaded google wallet.. opened it.... it tells me that NFC is turned off and to turn it on...... went to settings, and seen that nfc toggle was off... I turned it on and Settings force closes..... i try to turn NFC on from the toggles up top and it wont turn on... Soo same issue as when i did it the first time i posted... hmmm
thank god i took your advice and backed up.. otherwise ide be ODINing right now back to stock lol..
soo wallet aside, something is causing NFC not to work, and i believe its the actual files themselves in the system/app folder
and to confirm NFC breaking, i flashed this file again, however with the system/apps untouched.....
NFC now works again..
HOWEVER
Wallet force closes when you try to open it
its very important that the permissions are correct. did u check using root explorer or similar app to make sure the permissions were correct?
Stock ANK4 T-Mobile ROM deodexed by jovy23 and debloated by myself. Really nothing else to say about it. Check out jovy23's thread for what he's done.
Instructions: Wipe everything in recovery (shouldn't need to tell you to backup first) and flash the zip. Done.

It's been a long time , and seems like u changed carriers also ? Good to see your work again.
Cool
My Mobile Hotspot force closes upon enabling it. Can anyone confirm? Other than that, smooth like butter.
Can confirm. Hot spot FCs on trying to activate. Must've removed something necessary for it. Otherwise I love how light this rom is.
EDIT: I have jovy23's original rom on my phone. If anyone has any idea what app I'd have to reinstall to get the hotspot working again I'll grab it from there, put it into system/priv-app, change the permissions, and reboot to see if it works.
Ill fix up the hotspot today.

Thanks buddy.
EDIT: Does S-Health work for you guys? Also I think that if were keeping S-Health we should also keep Samsung Galaxy Apps since it's the only way to update it.
I really like this rom. Two things though. Can anyone tell me what files I need to restore to get the Samsung Browser working and the Smart Select for the S-Pen? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: So I figured out the Smart Select but I still need to restore the samsung browser.
EDIT 2: I figured out the browser as well.
Also, is there anyway to get the Samsung Account integrated? I would like to download the extra camera filters. I realize that this is a debloated ROM, but if anyone has a link to re-install some of Sammy's apps, that would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Found a zip file. =)
Ya'll are killing me man! Pro_b tell me what files you need to restore those functions and wheres that zip file Murphy71984? BTW does S-Health work for you guys? Doesn't for me and I figure it's because of the Samsung Account stuff.
really slimmed down thats how phones should come out of the box + the weather widget. I want the weather widget back, tried installing the app from another rom but it does not work properly.

I restored the files myself. I used good old fashioned google searching to figure out which files needed to be restored. But I'm glad the rom was built without them. I prefer how slim the rom is and what I wanted may not be what others wanted or needed.

I noticed that the dev of this rom also removed the libs along with the apps. You may need to find out if there're some missing lib files to s-health. At least that was the case when I added back the sbrowser.
How to re-enable smart select, the galaxy app store, tethering, and Samsung account.
This is how I got everything working. For smart select you grab Pinboard.apk from another rom (I grabbed everything from jovy23's original stock deodexed rom), place it in system/priv-app and change it's permissions to match the other apks there. I used ES file explorer for this with root explorer on and changing the system option to R/W (Tap on root explorer after turning it on to change this option). For the galaxy app store grab GalaxyApps_3xh.apk place it in the system/priv-app folder and change its permissions like before. Theres also a apk called SamsungAppsWidget_BannerStyle_common.apk which goes in system/app but I'm unsure if it's neccesary. If you are adding it just remember to change its permissions. For mobile Hotspot grab TetheringAutomation.apk and TetheringProvision.apk place them in system/app and change permissions. For the Samsung Account grab Samsungservice2_xxhdpi_RTL.apk place it in system/priv-app and change permissions. You are able to log in to the galaxy app store without this but it is necessary to get full access to your samsung accounts synching capabilities, like with s-health for example. Let me know if you need help with anything.
EDIT: Reboot after you've done everything!
Blame @ProTekk
