[PATCH] Google Wallet Fix for Touchwiz 4.1.1 JB

So There are 2 JB TW roms posted on here that i see.. and after it becomes officially available, more roms will start to come out.. The old wallet fix for ICS WILL NOT work for Jellybean.. NFC will break and your phone will vibrate like crazy...
I dug through sprints latest leak and compiled a flashable zip file to make Google Wallet work... Tested on my end and it works!
The steps still apply from ICS versions
... open your buildprop in text editor and edit these fields..
ro product model ..... to -- Galaxy Nexus
ro product name...........to-- yakju
ro product device .......to -- maguro
save it...
Reboot into recovery... Flash the JMJellyBeanWalletFix.zip
reboot...
go to the playstore and download wallet....... You should be good to go..
Ignore the "unsupported device" message on the top... its saying this because the phone is rooted... everything works!

Nice job bro! :good:

Fan-freakin-tantistic! Do we change the build.prop file back after getting Wallet up and running? If so, can you please post the steps, etc? Really appreciate your work!!

It wouldn't hurt to try, but I think if you change the build back to stock, wallet will relock and FC saying that your device isn't supported

Wow... posted in wrong forum. Its too early. Sorry guys.

thank you soooo freaking much!! I've been wanting to try out the NFC payment thing since i got my GS3. Now, i can officially look cool infront of the cashiers, and show off to my sad friends who have an iphone

Great job.
if you want to go back to the original buildprop use the modaco fixed google wallet from the att forum.
and turn of automatic update for the google wallet in the playstore.
In that way you can go back to the original build prop when everything is installed.
Works perfect for me.
Thank you again

Downloaded patch, set to Galaxy Nexus. Installed Wallet from play store and it installed but says that "Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network." Wonder if new version (Oct 3rd) looks to see what network you are on.

Did you change your build.prop? The 3 different lines I mean and then rebooted?
if not you have to do that otherwise it won't work.

where can i find my buildprop file?
Looking with my root explorer but cant find anything called buildprop. I'm on liquidsmooth. Just looking for a little guidance. Thanks!

You need to mount it as R/W.
In root explorer there should be a button at the top that says mount r/w.

Jelly Bean wifi calling apk

Can someone please share this for me? I am using the i9300 and having wifi calling will be a real improvement for me. I've tried searching, all I get so far is that the apk works only on touchwiz (which is what I have), but nobody's put up a link to this mythical thing

It only works for Tmobile, if you're using international S3 it won't work.
It's not just a apk, it's in the framework too.

I am on an Omega Jelly Bean ROM on t-mobile, with the i9300 variant. Don't I check all the right boxes? I thought the framework that it needed was part of touchwiz?

its way way more complicated then what you think it is.

The pack has to be built for touchwiz because of the libs used to make it work.
You need the wifi calling provisioning or it won't route the UMA traffic over the right T-Mobile gateway.
Files:
system/app/com.android.kineto.apk
system/lib/libganril.so
system/lib/lib_ril_switch.so <--- may be custom modded for vendor (ie: Samsung, HTC etc)
system/lib/libkineto.so
system/lib/libreference-ril.so
system/lib/librilswitch.so
There may or may not be other files but you can see it's not just an APK.

Thank you, that's a great start! When I get back home today, I'll take a stab at extracting these from a T999 update and try it out. If it works, I'll see how complicated creating an update.zip is and package it.

That is a start but im afraid that's about all it is. You'd also need wificall.apk (com.movial.wifiicall) and probably some binary files.
Also, even if you managed to get all the correct files, you would then need to port the code over to settings so you can use it. There is also probably code in systemui, framework, etc. I just doubt that simply flashing the files to your phone will work...unless the i9300 version of tw has it already and you just need it to work for tmobile. I dont think itll be a quick or easy thing to do.

It is possible to get wifi calling on your i9300. As seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHhjduFCCug] need to flash a T-Mobile S3 ROM on your phone. Much more simply than the methods discussed above.

[Q] Difference Between Toro/Maguro Roms

Hello,
I am learning about rom development, and want some information about porting a rom from one version of the Nexus to another. There are a couple roms that are on the GSM Nexus that I would like to see on the Verizon Nexus. Where can I find documentation on what the differences are between the same rom running on both versions of the phone? Is this just the binaries found on the Google Developer page, or is there more that would be required for porting from maguro to toro?

There's more to it. There's some lib files that might be needed in order for some stuff to work properly. But its real easy tho. Make sure the ROM u want to port is the same android version. So for example u want to port a 4.2.1 ROM make sure your base ROM is also a 4.2.1 like cm 10.1. Then u just copy some files from one ROM to another. So u go into your ROM that u want to port and u open it with 7zip go to system folder and copy app fonts framework and media folder and copy them to your base ROM. Then u go into the lib folder and copy libandroid_runtime.so and paste that into system lib folder of your base. Then it should work. That would be the basic way of doing it. As far as building from source I can't help u there lol. Good luck.

Ok, how do I know which lib files I need? Is there somewhere I can go that says this file does this, this file does that? For example if the camera doesnt work, or if sound doesnt work, how do I know which files are needed for those?
Also, why copy the app fonts framework and the media folder?

Because the framework folder has all the mods from the ROM. As far as camera u don't have to worry about that since they are both the same phone. The only lib file u need to change is the one I mentioned. That's the one that usually will give u a problem booting up. But that's what I was told u need to change and it works.

Is there a place that documents what all of these files do? I am trying to go a couple levels deeper than just "Do it because it works". I am hoping to find a place that will explain why, so I can track down bugs when they pop up.

I see. I'm not to that level yet. Try Google search or maybe even YouTube see if u find something. I do know u will need knowledge on how to use adb so u can do logcats when errors occur. Good luck man.

Alright, I got the rom to boot, but I am not getting any signal or wifi. What files do I need to get these working? I want specifics, not copy over all files in a single folder, because I dont want to lose any of the customization already in the rom.

I once ported a version of minco to Toro before there was an official version. I figured out which files to swap by comparing file by file two roms - one maguro one Toro. Any file that was divergent file size got swapped except systemui.apk and frameworkres.apk. I used two bugless beast roms as a base. It worked perfectly.

There are hardly any differences. I looked at it a lot when the jelly bean developer preview was released for gsm devices and I 'ported' it for toro. I had a list of the differences, but apparently lost it. I want to say that there are only 10-15 differences. The way I found out what the main differences were was by comparing the same build of CM for toro and maguro using Beyond Compare using a binary comparison. Some files may be different, but if you compare the bits directly...you can sometimes see it's only a build date/time and not a real difference.
edit 1 - To try to answer some of your questions, try libsec-ril_lte.so and libsecril-client.so (and the apn stuff listed below) for signal AND bcmdhd.cal and bcm4330.hcd for wifi. For camera, I think I remember fRom being needed. For GPS, you'll want sirfgps.conf, gps.omap4.so, gps.conf, and lib_gsd4t.so from toro.
edit 2 - Ahhh, I found a post where I listed the difference between maguro and toro that I found (it may not be all inclusive, but it should give you a good start!). These were from the CM roms, so toro factory images have a couple more things like MyVerizon.apk, VerizonSSO.apk, VZWBackupAssistant.apk, and libmotricity.so (needed for VerizonSSO.apk).
Code:
\system\app\BIP.apk
\system\app\RTN.apk
\system\app\VZWAPNLib.apk
\system\app\VZWAPNService.apk
\system\etc\gps.conf
\system\etc\permissions\android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.vzwapnlib.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.hardware.lte.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.hardware.ehrpd.xml
\system\etc\wifi\bcmdhd.cal
\system\etc\apns-conf.xml
\system\etc\NOTICE.html.gz
\system\lib\hw\gps.omap4.so
\system\lib\lib_gsd4t.so
\system\vendor\etc\sirfgps.conf
\system\vendor\firmware\bcm4330.hcd
\system\vendor\lib\libsec-ril_lte.so

Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I do have one more question. How is a power menu (hold power button to get reboot, recovery, hotboot, etc..) added to a rom?

You have to modify the android policy jar in framework from code. There is a modded jar in the apps and themes forum, or you could try and lift the file or of your favorite custom ROM, like cyanogenmod.

Glad to see you have some initiative! If you want the .smali edits for the advanced power menu, I have attached a .zip containing the comparison of the mod for my 4.2.1 stock AOSP rom. You need to add the 3 GlobalActions$11xx.smali files (in the attached .zip) to \smali\com\android\internal\policy\impl when you decompile your android.policy.jar with apktool. The 2 .pdf's show the smali edits to the 2 files that need modified. There are just a few lines added/changed. The changes for GlobalActions.smali are on page 19 of the .pdf. If you need a working apktool for 4.2.1, you can get one the I compiled using paulobrein's patch HERE.

I'm glad to see people helping a fellow who whats to turn user-to-dev.

JOP40D Stock Wifi Tethering

RE: Sprint, Glaxy Nexus running Stock 4.2.1:
Has anyone found a way to enable wifi tethering with a rooted stock JOP40D yet?

Oh no, three angels have fallen from grace as a result of your mis-leading title and posting in the wrong section.
Now for the goods I was gonna do the hack for that but I won't have time, its simple to do all you need its apktools and the knowledge of how to use it and you're good to go.
1. use apktool to de-compile framework-res.apk
2. navigate to res/values/arrays.xml
3. open arrays.xml in a notepad editor
4. edit the line "config_tether_upstream_types" change the 4 to a 5
5. save changes and re-compile framework-res.apk
from there you will be able to tether

wrong thread? I am talking about a Sprint, Galaxy Nexus running JOP40D stock and rooted and the wifi tethering functionality, this requires some dev work (see post above yours). so maybe I should have been more descriptive in my title or even my post I guess I assumed since I posted it in here it would be obvious sorry to anyone who may have been confused or mislead, if a mod wants to move it no worries :good:
Anyways... I will try the decompile/recompile steps and see if that works, I just didnt want to re-invent the wheel if someone already had done it
thanks!

Thanks this worked perfectly! For anyone choosing to do this things to note:
1. It will wipe your google account so you will have to re-login and setup the gapps
2. the framework-res.apk size will not be the same (in my case it was either a full MB larger if I unzip/reziped it with my changes or 4 MB smaller if I just dropped my new resources.arsc into the original apk.. very big size difference but everything still boots up and works *shrug*

Would it be possible to post a "back to stock/restore to Sprint configuration" flashable .zip, just in case? (It's always nice to have that available in case I need my phone to appear to be truly unrooted and stock.)
-- Andrew

OK not sure if this works but here is a flashable .zip to return tethering to Stock (Locked) state. I did not flash this to see if it works so if you have issues please let me know and I will see what went wrong. The "tethering_4.2.1_Return_Stock.zip" is for Sprint Android 4.2.1 only and will not work with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2.

Can you flash T-Mobile Rom on At&t Gs3?

I have an i747m galaxy s3 which is unlocked, i downloaded the Wicked rom which has the multi carrier feature, i accidentally clicked on T-mobile device in Aroma and continued with the setup. What surprised me was that it worked perfectly ( I prevoiusly flashed an t999 international rom and bricked my phone) but i was just wondering if that is an exception with the Wicked Rom or do t-mobile roms work on the at&t gs3? while were at it do sprint roms also work on at&t? I'm new to flashing, any help is appreciated

Yes you can flash a t999 rom to your i747, I have flashed many of your i747 roms to my t999... There is no such thing as a t999 International version, though. International S III has a different ChipSet so they brick our US S III's. Read some more and be careful what you click or you'll be sitting on 500$ paper weight bud.

Yes you can. You may have to do some build.prop edits to change from d2tmo to d2att to get everything working right

You can use RootExplorer or Solid Explorer to edit your build.prop file located under your system root in the folder "system" (/system/build.prop)
Your build.prop is basically a configuration file that stores information about your phone.
The lines that you would need to edit are "ro.product.name" and "ro.product.device"
Once you flash the tmo ROM you would edit the above lines accordingly. Then, reboot the device for the changes to take affect.

T999 is the TMobile version. The other ROMs (Verizon and Sprint) CAN work, but you cannot just flash them like the t999 ROMs. You have to make some edits to port the ROM over before you can flash, otherwise you may harm tour device. I'd recommend searching XDA on "ROM porting for the S3."
Also, just so you know, for the build.prop, the code names for each device is:
"d2att" is AT&T
"d2tmo" is T-Mobile
"d2spr" is Sprint
"d2vzw" is Verizon
There are some great tutorials out there, its a little more in depth than what I can go into here.
