nfc still only available for sprint and us cellular. at least we finally got the app.
Edited...
If youre running the hacked method to get it to work (Tmobile users)then do not update the app.
I just finished installing the new Wallet app. This isnt directly downloaded from the PlayStore. Im testing a .zip from a developer.
The new Setup is kinda wierd and im not sure if tap and pay is the same as before or if I have to choose a default card for it to work. Will report results after I make a successful transaction.
Im sure the developet will create a thread when bugs are fixed.
Please merge.

thanks for guinea-pigging this for us. I hope the new .zip version works well. I'd really like to run the most current version and have the added functionality. at present, I have the old nfc enabled version on my note 2 and the current, but non nfc enabled version on my tablet and old phone. It would be nice to be able to run the current version with NFC.

Heres what happened. I tried to make a purchase earlier this morning at 7-11 and it didnt work. From what the developer and I briefly discussed is that the modified NFC files might be the culprit. What I suggest that you can do is restore the factory NFC files and install the Wallet app directly from the PlayStore and test that way.
I dont have a copy of my factory NFC files anymore and dont want to odin back so im just waiting. As of right now im using the previous Wallet app.

I installed the new app on my note 2 after updating the rom so i didn't have the cracked version anymore (yes i reset google wallet app first) With the updated app loaded, i looked through settings and it said tap to pay wasn't available, so after configuring the rest of my new rom (jedi master 17) I reinstalled the cracked version and (i havent tried it yet, but it loos the same as ever) nfc tap to pay should work again, just still on that oudated GW app. Fingers crossed one of the brainiacs at modaco will release an updated cracked version.
Go to the Note2 Themes & Apps Section. There is a new flashable .zip .
Few things you should do first.
1. Turn Off NFC & S-Beam.
2. Clear Google Wallet Data and Cache
3. Flash the New .zip
4. Check to see if Tap and Pay is active.

I've been fretting about this for far too long and I want my question laid to rest for once and for all.
I am running stock 4.0.2 rooted and boot loader unlocked. I want to install the google wallet apk without worrying about it messing up and giving me the secure element error. Can someone please aid a fellow ever-worrying flasher?
And yes, I have a backup to rely on.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
There's no guarantees. Essentially to be absolutely safe you need to wait until Google releases something official.
The error occurs after installing another rom with a wipe or after a factory reset. The theory is to make sure to press reset within Google Wallet so that it deletes the info off the Secure Element's memory. This is still just a theory, no guarantee..
You should watch the main thread for the most up to date info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365360
To add to Royal2000H:
Even if you reset Google Wallet from within the app, it will still re-initialise the secure element. There's an ADB shell command that will reset it properly.

You need to download and install the Android SDK (software development kit). The ADB (Android device bridge) drivers and software are included with it. Sorry I don't have a link handy for you, maybe in the morning if someone else hasn't posted one.

perhaps make a backup then of your working ROM. cause i believe if you wipe or switch ROMs something happens that resets the NFC hardware and you may lose ability to use it again. i'm not totally sure of the details exactly though.
I have another experience to add to this thread.
Today my phone got stuck on the boot animation so I reloaded my current 4.03 ROM. When the device booted up after flashing the gapps.zip I tried using my NFC for a tag but it wouldn't work. Additionally, trying to access the "more..." settings menu froze the settings program.
At this point I tried multiple ROMS etc and had no luck getting my NFC to work until I restored my nandroid backup from long before wallet, the first day I got the phone.
I then flashed back to my 4.03 ROM and everything works fine until the Gapps.zip adds wallet which breaks the NFC again. Removing wallet from the .zip makes everything ok but there is apparently no way for me to get wallet working again. I tried the ADB command and everything, but whenever I reinstall wallet wallet itself just opens to a black screen that is frozen and it destroys my NFC(plus the settings freeze)
Is there anything else I can try? Is my secure element bricked forever(meaning I should exchange)? Or should I hold on until google releases an official .apk?
Thanks for posing the question
I actually, using a link from here, installed Google Wallet and It is working just fine for me but my phone is stock rom and unrooted (LTE Edition), So I'll be paying close attention to this thread because I might decide to root this phone in the future.

I gave in an rooted my phone. I have SuperSU, ROM Toolbox Lite, Root Browser Lite, and Root Explorer installed.
Ok, so it started as unsupported.....rooted and that fixed that problem. Now, it just goes to add account. I select my email address, then it goes to an error "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys).

Google Wallet is supposed to say unsupported device if your device is unsupported. This is unavoidable. You can still use Google Wallet just fine, though.
No, I mean I cant even open the app because it has a popup that say unsupported on your device and network, I click ok, and it kicks me out.......as if I never rooted my phone and installed.
I went back to the Galaxy Nexus build.prop and it works fine when I leave that alone. But the minute I change it back to the original build.prop.....it starts the unsupported thing again and not able to open app.

Samsung Galaxy S3 on ATT is not supporting Google wallet. That why we using diffrend one by changing build.prop to make wallet work.
Do not restore you nandroid after your wallet is working just restore your build.prop

How did you install your Google Wallet? Did you follow instruction in post i give it to you or did you install Google Wallet from Play Store?
This nfc fix is designed for 4.3 TW roms.
For older versions, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
Install Instructions:
Navigate to /system/csc
Open features.xml
Look for <!-- NFC -->, and replace that section with the following:
Code:
<!-- NFC -->
<CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>GOOGLE</CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>
<CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>NONE</CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>
<CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>ESE</CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>
<CscFeature_NFC_CardModeRoutingTypeForEse>ROUTE_ON_WHEN_SCREEN_ON</CscFeature_NFC_CardModeRoutingTypeForEse>
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- If you want the NFC icon in the statusbar add this line, otherwise remove it -->[/COLOR]
<CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>Att</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>
Download file below
Flash file in recovery
Install wallet by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457569
Notes:
If you installed any other nfc fix, you'll need to revert back to your rom's "stock" system. Just flash your rom again.
This will work on either odexed or deodexed roms, as it will remove any associated .odex files.
Devs:
This is a modified Nfc.apk taken from a Sprint build.
Here's a rundown of what's happening:
NfcService looks at /system/etc/nfcee_access.xml and checks for the Google wallet signature.
It also looks at /system/etc/security_nfc_profile.dat for certain files and their sha-1. If it can't match the file with it's sha-1 it marks the system as tampered and will not allow access to the secure element.
This modified Nfc.apk will always return true when it looks at security_nfc_profile.dat.
To-do:
Create a script that will modify features.xml during install.

I have only done this on custom TouchWiz roms, so not sure if it works on other roms. It's pretty easy, you must have Titanium Backup and Root Explorer(or similar).
1. Open Titanium Backup and find Google Search 3.5.16.1262550.arm(or whatever version you have). Convert it to a System App.
2. Open Root Explorer and go to /system/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk and move it to /system/priv-app/
3. Reboot ur phone and you should be able to see the settings to enable OK Google on any screen in the Google Search Settings.
Enjoy!!
Thanks so much for the info, it did the trick! I already had it installed as a system app, but moving it to the priv-app folder made all the options show up.

Hello,
I've already Google Search as a system app (system/app-private/Velvet.apk) and the options are disabled on my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G901F .
Thanks.

Up until a few months ago I owned only Samsung where Android is concerned. But I got tired of the **** battery life that seemed to always manifest no matter which phone I bought. So I made a change and bought the finest LG I could find, which turned out being the v10. I've had a few issues here and there but nothing too serious. In my pre-LG days I used the S-Pen and Galaxy Apps often. Now, the latter was the only thing I really missed.
So, I dug up an old Note 4 ROM zip that was still lingering in my Dropbox, and began copying various files from it into my /system. After lots of headaches I managed the bare minimum # of files that were necessary to get Galaxy Apps working. The result is a <20MB flashable zip.
What you need:
File manager
Xposed
XInstaller
My zip
Download XInstaller, activate it in Xposed, go to Device Properties in the app, enable changing device properties, then change your model to "SM-N910T" (no quotes), then reboot. You technically could probably use any Samsung model, but this is what worked for me. Be aware that this will cause the Play Store (and possibly other apps) to mistake your model. Galaxy Apps checks your model when you run it, so this is necessary, unless you want to edit the APK to omit the model check (I don't know how).
As an alternative to using XInstaller and Xposed, you can just edit the model in your build.prop (located in /system).
Next, reboot into recovery and flash my zip, then wipe cache/dalvik cache. An alternative is to manually copy the files in the zip into their appropriate locations, then set permissions for each file to 0644. You can try installing all the APPs as data/user apps, but the 3 files in /system/etc/permissions and /system/framework must also be present, or this won't work.
Next, reboot into Android, go to Accounts in Settings, then add your Samsung account (create one if you don't have one). Launch Galaxy Apps and let it update and download additional necessary files (if necessary). Everything *should* work normally, including updating GA itself. I was able to download and run apps (all free). However, I haven't tested buying apps, in-app purchases, registering and using a credit/debit card, etc. If anyone wants to try then feel free and report back.
Caveats:
1. This may not work on ROMs below KitKat, since the files were pulled from a KK ROM. All files are presumably Samsung originals and I have not modified them in any way, which is why I'm calling this a port rather than a mod.
2. This may not work on AOSP/CM ROMs (it didn't for me, I got an FC/hang when trying to log into my Samsung account).
3. Nothing else I can think of ATM.
This is my first contribution to the Android community. This can probably also be used on other non-LG devices, but since I own an LG currently, I'm posting it here in the v10 forum, instead of somewhere else on XDA where it would receive more attention (people would eventually find this thread anyway by searching around).
If you think Galaxy Apps on LG is stupid, keep your thoughts to yourself and don't try this, I could care less what you think. This is for people that want to try it. Any trolling will be reported to the mods/admins.
Enjoy!
Edit: To be clear, I'm referring only to the GA Store itself, and not other Samsung Apps like SVoice, SMemo, etc. I just realized that my topic title might cause some confusion and people being mistaken.
Feel free to comment/discuss here, but all questions should either be PMed to me or (less preferably) posted in the Help/Q&A/Troubleshooting forums (but I don't really feel that this 2nd option is appropriate, because any issues are almost certainly due to trying to run GA on non-Samsung devices, rather than an LG/v10/non-Samsung issue).
I will be regularly updating the zip whenever any of the APPs get an update (and probably stop when this no longer works for whatever reason).
Credits to Samsung and HyperDrive ROM devs for the files, and JRummyApps and ZipMe for the means to create a flashable zip.
I don't own the v10 anymore. I went back to using the Note 4, which is a bit older than the v10 but still very fast and reliable for me. Battery life is also much better than I remember it being around 2 years ago (the last time I had my old N4 before it was stolen). Overall I'm happy I switched back, very few issues, all small. On it I'm running a modded Nougat ROM that is based on LineageOS. My Galaxy Apps zips runs fine even on that, no need to use Xposed/XInstaller or edit my build.prop, probably because it's an N4 and not an LG. I will continue to provide support for this, I plan to submit another zip soon that has all of the provided Samsung APKs as up-to-date as possible, and will have only the APKs that will be compatible for as many devices as possible.
Which samsung app are they? Just curious if the camera will work?
@raven213: They are:
Samsung Account
Samsung Billing
Samsung Galaxy Apps
Samsung In-App Purchase
Samsung Push Service
The only ones you can actually interact with are Account and Galaxy Apps, Account is so you can sign into a Samsung account from your Settings' Accounts menu, or from Galaxy Apps itself. I don't think Galaxy will let you download without an account anyway. Billing and IAP are most likely for being able to collect your payment info if you buy an app or make an in-app purchase (like buying coins in a online game or whatever). I haven't tested buying anything, so if anyone decides to tries, please post whether it worked. And Push Service is so the Samsung apps can send notifications to your device. So basically, just the bare essentials needed for Galaxy to work and nothing else. As for Samsung Camera, I doubt it will work, it'll probably just crash, since other files might be needed for that. Maybe you can get a Samsung Camera APK from apkmirror.com, or from Galaxy. There are also numerous threads on XDA where you can find collections of Samsung apps, they might have what you want.
I'm posting an updated zip with updated versions of all the apps/APKs, I made it not too long ago so they should be relatively recent. If they're out of date, they may ask to update, just let them. Or you can manually check for updates in Galaxy. I haven't tested the new version much, but it did work in my most recent try.
Also, I've come up with a new method that should work. It involves pushing touchwiz.xml to /system/etc/permissions/, and pushing twframework.jar and twframework-res.apk to /system/framework/. These are necessary and must be present in /system/. But the APKs can just be installed as regular user/data apps instead of system apps. To accomplish this just flash the latest zip (presumably from TWRP), then open TWRP's file manager, go to /system/priv-app/ and delete the Samsung APK files. You can also use FlashFire. Then boot into Android, unzip the zip file, then just install the APKs like you normally would. You'll need to enable Unknown Sources for this to work. Follow my instructions from the first post too. If you're on Marshmallow or higher, go to Settings and then Apps, manually grant all permissions for the Samsung stuff. If you cant see them make sure to enable viewing of system apps in this menu.
I am going to apply this method to my new non-Samsung Android phone as I really missed Samsung Focus. Do you think I will be able to use Samsung Focus with your method?
@xanga: I've never heard of Samsung Focus, so I wouldn't know if it would work. I only tested with the Galaxy Apps store. You will have to try for yourself and find out. Let me know if it does.
Does it works on xperia z5 with lineageos 14.1 on it?
I don't know, you'll have to try to. I don't own any Sony phones. It should though.
Important Question
This way, will I be able to install "Samsung Notes" app and Sync with Samsung Account?
@Fuurio: I don't know, as I said before, you'll have to try for yourself. Let me know if it works.
Yeah, it's a shame that this isn't working on Linage 15.1 . I can get the watch talking to my phone but I am unable to load any apps from Galaxy apps to the phone (which is better than nothing). As you said it just hangs... Everything else seems to work, it can even communicate with SHealth. If I don't update Galaxy Apps after flashing your 2nd zip I can sign in but when trying to install/download apps to my phone (Note Edge... pretty much a note 4) it downloads but hangs at that point and is unable install it to the watch through the gear plugin apparently (which is running).... If I update to the latest Galaxy apps (4.2.22) it can't even log in it gives me an error that the account already exists in account manager. Anyway, seems like I am almost getting it though. In fact I was able to work this prior to the last month or so (not with your zips) but something either changed with the Samsung apps or with Lineage 15.1
If anyone manages to get this to work completely on Lineage 14.1 or 15.1 pls post how you did it. I would like to at least be able to add watch faces.
Working now....
@rickpub: You mean it works with Oreo now? Because for me it doesn't, the app will open but it keeps saying there is a Samsung account already registered, when I try to download most apps. Works fine in Nougat.
Camera broke
Help i need to fix it how do i undo it
@Nick32603: What did you do? You just flashed the zip? And now your camera isn't working? I don't see how my zip would break your camera, unless you changed your model in build.prop, or with the Xposed module I mentioned. You can try deleting the files in the zip from your system partition. Or you can flash a stock KDZ. I used my zips on a LG v10 stock ROM awhile back, nothing broke, camera continued working normally. If you need more help then just post or send me a PM, I'll try to help.
Here is a link to a zip with the updated Galaxy Apps components (everything should be current as of May 2019). Follow steps in 1st post and flash in TWRP:

Thanks, I tried installing this after the original one didn't work, but it didn't work either. It always hung itself up or crashed when trying to add a new Samsung account.
But I got it finally working after installing this Samsung Account APK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ng-account/samsung-account-2-2-04-64-release/
I'm not sure why it works now but I'll take it. Newer versions of this apk might work as well, but I only tried this one.
Thanks for this. Could you maybe bundle a few more apps. The sync provider(s) are really useful IMO.
Or maybe you could just dumb the entire rom on mega so we could pick the apps we like?
the file is not working
