[APP] Google Wallet On Xperia S - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I was just messing around with my Xperia S as we all do, especially with the new Jelly bean Update from Sony out. I was curious to whether I could get any NFC payments working on my phone and I found that a user had been able to get Google wallet working on the Xperia Z forum (Running Jelly Bean). I thought since we just received the new update we might be able to do exactly the same as with the Xperia Z and I followed the steps he described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203482
I have subsequently been able to get Google wallet to successfully set up on my Xperia S.
The only step that was different to the Xperia Z way was when editing the Build.Prop you have to add the ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus as a extra line above ro.product.name=yakju because we don't currently have that as a line in the stock build.prop
so it ends up looking like this in the build.prop:
ro.product.brand=SEMC
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.build.tags=release-keys
I have been able to set up the wallet fully, but seeing as though I live in the UK I have no idea if it will actually work because Google wallet annoyingly isn't supported over here :'( Just wanted to share what I managed to do with you guys and to see if you can actually pay for goods this way?
I don't take any credit for this other than being curious to whether or not it would work and trying it out...Just follow all the steps provided in g35mt thread above and the steps I mentioned.
Obviously if you don't know what you doing don't do this as you might end up screwing your device over if you do it wrong and I am not responsible for that.

Google Wallet working on Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (J
I have got the app working on my Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2 in New Zealand and I have my kiwibank visa debit card loaded onto it (which is a new zealand visa debit card). I went into countdown (a supermarket if your not in new zealand which supports contactless payments) . I put my phone up the the terminal and my phone vibrates and says processing the eftpos machine says processing then my phone and the machine say declined. Not because i am poor . Then the eftpos machine says please contact your bank.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
does the card loaded onto my google wallet account have to support contactless payment?
my speculation is that kiwibank dont support visa paywave only mastercard paypass and i dont have a mastercard paypass card, so i am thinking that i might need to enable contactless payment with my bank account.

Hi yeah it's got nothing to do with your card it's because you don't live in the US and Gwallet doesn't work outside the US at this point in time.

[Q] I have a sim free GN in UK, is it possible to get Google Wallet on it?

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is a working APK for ICS/GN out there? I really want to get Wallet prepaid working on my Nexus with all its NFC payment goodness.
Thanks

Google wallet only works in the US anyway.. but AFAIK there's no ICS version yet (although someone did report getting the old version working on the Nexus S ICS port).
It will work fine in UK, there is a prepaid option using Google Virtual cards that works on any touch pay terminal, including UK ones.

i think he means that your Google account will simply not allow you to use Google Wallet because you are geographically outside of the US.
Google say otherwise...
"Please note that this service is only available on eligible phones to users in the US."
That's why even on a Nexus S you can't install google wallet from the market.

Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

other phone can support tap and pay.... they just need a work around
for google wallet (TAP) to work first your nfc libs need to be correct (smx enabled)
and second the google servers need to see that your phone is supported for the initial setup (build.prop edit)
for example, if you have an AT&T galaxy s3, the smx (most likely) is not enabled because they want you to use ISIS (which uses the secure element in the sim card)
We cannot compile the att version of touchwiz because we have no source, we can take the correct libs from a sprint gs3 to use on an att phone (see lib fix below)
When trying to get wallet to work on a new device/rom take the following steps
1-instal wallet from play or side load. Set up and see if tap and pay is enabled. if no, see step 2
2-change build.prop to galaxy nexus (see below) uninstall wallet then reboot and repeat step 1. if no, see step 3
3-run a logcat while opening wallet and look for "wallet" , "nfc" , and "smx" . Most likely at this point you need a (lib fix) In other words, you need the smx enabled libraries and corresponding files from a supported device. flash appropriate files (see lib fix zip) and start at 1
4-once google wallet TAP is working, the build.prop can be reverted, but sometimes is will break wallet (TAP) and it might take a couple times for success. keeping the build.prop as galaxy nexus has no real side effects (I currently have a sony galaxy nexus )
old wallet fix
*The lib&nfc fix is intended touchwiz roms
For CM9/10,aokp, and any other aosp rom, just flash the desired version wallet as the libs and nfc apk are correct
latest Wallet version 1.5-r87-v15 changelog
where google wallet works
Google wallet (rom) compatibly list
to contribute here is the google wallet compatibly list thread
Ok, first a little background
basically what you are seeing if you try to install google wallet on at&t, tmo, etc, is you get stuck on "activating device"
If you dig a little further and ran a logcat, you will see that there it no "SMX detected"
What this means, when compiling the rom you need to enable SmartMX in the config headers located in the external/libnfc-nxp library. (thats why it works on CM9/10, they do this)
this is impossible for us because there is no source for samsung's TouchWiz. We got a break on the international sgs3 as the latest update has the secure element enabled...so does the sprint sgs3
well that got me thinking, and of course sprint's nfc libs are close enough to work without breaking anything
so this is how to do it. (btw, you need root)
1-make a nandroid! I am not responsible if you mess up your device
2-edit you build.prop using root explorer (when you press save, it creates a build.prop.bak)
do not use ES explorer, it does not save correctly, for that matter ONLY use root explorer! (or adb push/pull)
/system/build.prop
preferred
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
or
Code:
ro.product.model=htc_jewel
ro.product.name=htc_jewel
ro.product.device=htc_jewel
3-If you already have Wallet installed...open wallet, go to settings and "reset google wallet" (if it hangs at 99%, reboot and continue with steps)
(if you are (re)installing a new rom, this applies too...reset google wallet from within app)
4-boot to recovery and flash SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib&nfc-fix.zip for ics touchwiz roms or SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip for jellybean touchwiz roms and then wallet version com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.zip
(for CM9/10, I9300, aokp, aosp roms just flash the wallet zip)
5-reboot device, you will get "android is updating" (only this first boot)(all apps)
6-open google wallet and sign in. add your personal credit cards (you must add them from your desktop first if you have never used google checkout before)
7-(optional)if you get "error adding card try again later", wipe cache and davlik cache from recovery (only once! it sometimes takes hours, not minutes)
8-profit (hold on! your not done, continue on to steps 9 & 10)
9-after it is all up and running (meaning cards added), mount r/w in root explorer, delete the modded build.prop, then rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
10-make a new nandroid with working wallet and put it in a safe place in case you ever accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data.
still confused, here is a video of how to do it by moonfire711

notes*
-if you have used google wallet on another device, your prepaid card on the sgs3 is not the same...so balances will not carry over on the prepaid card prepaid is finished
-despite the new cloud-based authentication system, the app does not require the phone to have a data connection to make payments at NFC-equipped terminals
-really the key to this fix is the libs with the security element enabled.
-the build.prop edit is for enabling cards, once they are enabled it can be reverted
-the wallet apk has 3 features patched out. The first was a device check, the second patch was an operator check and the third patch was removing the root warning
-NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER RESTORE GOOGLE WALLET WITH TITANIUM BACKUP! (please click link on step 10)

that can take some time, its not always within 5 mins (it can take hours)
if you get an error adding card, post a logcat while doing it

are you running a modified rom? it doesn't seem to work (bootloops) with DIET ICS rom
Do not use ES explorer to edit
SUCCESS!!! I got google wallet working on my T-Mobile USA GS3 (t-999) running the Free GS3 R3 ROM by following the OP instructions. It hung for several minutes trying to add the google prepaid card but it finally came around. I was on my home wifi if that makes a difference for anyone.
I'm going out on a limb here to guess you could use the build.prop strings from the Sprint GS3 instead of htc_jewel since that is the origin of the NFC library files but I guess as long as it works it doesn't really matter. I used htc_jewel as instructed in the OP.
I would add the following to your instructions:
1.5 - make a backup copy of your build.prop file
8 - once you have verified everything is working, put your backup copy of build.prop back in place and reboot
Edit: Also, it would be a good idea to make a nandroid backup once wallet is working and store it somewhere safe. That way you can restore to a working config if you accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data.
I tried it on AOKP (7.12.2012 Build) and I can get past the "this device is not supported" stage and through to the Terms and Condition page but when I click agree, it tells me NFC needs to be enabled and "exit" "settings" menu option pops up. I click on settings which takes me to "more..." under settings which displays "airplane", "VPN", "tethering", etc but no NFC options.
If I remember correctly, on yesterdays release, NFC was there in all it's glory with the option for lockscreen, etc... But now, it's no where to be found.
I guess I'll be posting this to the AOKP forum (task650 and ktoonsez) and see what they say.

sweet. you might be the first with a tmobile sgs3 with a working google wallet (using tw)
I will add to the op...yes, as far as the build.prop, it really doesn't matter...that is just what worked for me. I will add though, after you get it up and going, you can put your stock build.prop back in...

The official Sony Playstation site tells a slightly different story,
The One X, S, and the rest will have the playstation app included in the jellybean update. Or to quote Sony "Playstation support on HTC phones is rolling out with Android 4.1 and above upgrades, timing of which is subject to regional and operator circumstances"
It specifically calls out the One V as "playstation support will arrive as part of a larger update, details to be announced later on".
So, obviously HTC has informed Sony the One V is NOT getting jelly bean as this new update is well, new.
I am hoping the "larger update" will include a newer version of sense for us, or a "value pack" but who knows. We could also see HTC decide it was a mistake including the One V and ask Sony to quietly remove it from the list of certified devices.
When the update comes, you will have two new icons in the app drawer. The "PSM" icon and a "let's start PSM" which will help you set up a playstation account if you don't already have one.
Yes, there are "hacks" to make it work on any rooted device, but seeing as we have a playstation certified device we will not have to worry about manually updating the darn thing all the time.
All this info is available on the Sony site guys, and is being updated continually. I do not have any kind of inside info, I just know how to use google!!!!

Well, easy........updates.
It's like getting google now on an ICS ROM with flashable zips. Your version is as current as the version the zip was based on. When google brings out new features, you have to wait for a new zip, and flash again when or if it becomes available. Kinda, but not really like "pirating" an app. Updates depend on someone other than the first party. Being "playstation certified" means, when Sony chooses to update the PSM app (done twice already) certified phones will recieve the update right away, phones with modded versions will have to wait for the dev to re-mod the app, or,worse....an update could close the hack used to install it on non-certified devices. This is something we will not have to worry about.

Xperia ZL, NFC and Google Wallet

While we're all waiting for .233, has anyone found the NFC functionality of Google Wallet working on the ZL?
Android 4.4 was suppose to forgo the use of the Secure Element in favor of a cloud-based approach (link), but even with a carrier unlocked ZL on 4.4 I don't seem to have the click-and-pay functionality.
Can anyone share some knowledge on this?
I had the same question and can't find the setting for Tap and pay on my ZL 6506. :-/
