[MOD] Google Wallet NFC fix (TW 4.3, wallet 2.0+) - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

Report: I just installed wallet according to the new post of yours and it all went well. I'm on MBJ bootloader and also on yours att deodexed 4.3 Rom. Here's the screenshot:

Also, after I made the changes to the feature.XML file, I made a copy to my sdcard so I can just paste it should I have to reflash my ROM. Might not work if I upgrade or change my ROM, but if I bork and have to reflash it.

This is the s3 forums, I have a working zip for the note2, but androidfilehost is down right now. So here it is. I'll probably be making some threads soon.

I can finally upgrade to 4.3, just needed a working Wallet. Thanks so much for figuring this out!:laugh:
EDIT: Finally flashed to 4.3. This is what I did. I forgot to disable Wallet, so I did so through the website, wallet.com. After flashing I edited the xml file, then I booted into recovery and flashed the nfc fix. Then I downloaded and pushed the new .apk. When I booted up, the wallet icon did not appear in the notification bar. And after setting up, I have tap and pay not available. What went wrong?
T-Mobile SGS3, Stock rooted T-Mob 4.3, nfc fix from your thread and modded 2.0-R141-V14 .apk
EDIT: I just noticed that auto-upate is on by default in the playstore. I didn't notice any update, but I wonder if that's what did it. Never mind, somehow I got the wrong .apk.
EDIT: Turns out it was the old MD5 modem. I was on wifi the whole time after flashing and didn't notice I did not have a cell signal. Wallet tap and pay is setting up! Thanks!!!

Thank you very much for the work that went into this NFC fix and for the work that has gone into the modified Wallet.apk. I had forgotten to reboot after pushing the app to system/app and the tap to pay feature kept failing. As soon as I rebooted and tried again, it worked. The real test will come when I can actually make it to a store to test. Thanks again.

After I pushed the right .apk and flashed the right modem to get a cell signal, everything set up fine. Used it tonight and had to explain to someone who was so impressed he wants to buy a Nexus or a Sprint GS3.

This worked for my TW 4.3 Note 2

Thanks so much for this thread. I'm happy it give the technical nitty gritty details as well as instructions. Tap to pay is now working on my T999 running rooted stock 4.3.

will this work for a vzw sgs3 with isis as well? i have isis and wallet on my vzw s3 and both are working right now. but not when i upgrade to 4.3 so i've temporarily reverted back to 4.1.2

Does this has to be done on s4 running 4.3 rom?

[CM10] Workaround: Newest Google Wallet (1.5-R75-v6, 8-1-2012)

Edit: If I Mod could move this to the General section, I have no idea how the app skipped from General to Development.
Hi everyone,
THIS IS FOR THE AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S III SGH-I747. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS WILL WORK ON OTHER DEVICES. I'll try to keep this updated as people find it working on other devices/configurations.
List of working devices/configurations:
AT&T Galaxy S III SGH-I747:
07-29-12 CM10 AOSP
08-08-12 CM10 AOSP
JellyBean AOKP
tuch Mi S3X
CM9 Nightly
7/22 DIET ICS
ICS Domination 7
Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Stock Rooted
I had to go through some digging on the Touchwiz Google Wallet workaround thread to find this, and thought I would make it more accessible to those of us using CM10 on our devices. These are the steps I took in getting it to work and can confirm that a Visa stored in Google Wallet works at my local 7-11.
Warning Make sure that you reset Google Wallet from within the app each time you flash a new ROM. Failing to do so could result in the frying of your Secure Element, meaning permanent loss of Wallet capabilities.
1. Download ROM Toolbox Lite from the Play Store.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
2. Download Root Explorer from the Play Store.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
3. Download the modified latest Google Wallet APK (Thanks to magn2o for the APK).
Link: http://d-h.st/VZi
4. Open ROM Toolbox Lite and go to the 'Performance' tab and choose 'build.prop editor'
5. Change the following build.prop values to that of the GSM Galaxy Nexus:
ro.product.device: maguro
ro.product.name: yakju
ro.product.model: Galaxy Nexus
6. Reboot into recovery and reboot device.
7. Using Root Explorer, locate the Wallet APK in /mnt/sdcard/(place you downloaded to). The file should be named 'com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-r75-v6.apk'. Copy this file into /system/app (you will need to mount as R/W before copying the file).
8. Reboot into recovery and restart the device. You should now be able to open Google Wallet and set up your account.
9. Using the modified APK, you are now able to revert your build.prop to the original values for the SGH-I747. Do it the same way as outlined above using the below values. You will need to reboot your device in order for the changes to take effect.
ro.product.device: d2att
ro.product.name: d2uc
ro.product.model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Hope this helps some people out. (Be sure to hit the thanks button if this did help you out. )

6. Locate the Google Wallet APK in your downloads folder and install.
7. I haven't tried this step to confirm continued usage, but if you want to change your build.prop values back to that of the AT&T Galaxy S III, they are:
ro.product.device: d2att
ro.product.name: d2uc
ro.product.model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Not working for Nexus S i9020a, confirmed, on Stock and Rooted 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
working with latest cm10 preview fine so long as you keep or build.prob changed. As soon as you change it back Wallet goes back to saying the device is not supported like before.
Changing it back to the Nexus and it works again. Guess I'll just leave it changed for now.
Thanks for this.

I am off to 7-Eleven to blow their minds again by paying with my phone
it says "unsupported device" is that normal?

Did you have to do the build.prop edits to get this to work? I only want to put it in the list of devices this works on if it required you to follow the outlined steps.

Mine also says "Unsupported Device" but, as I understand it, this is a result of having a rooted device/running a custom ROM and potentially greater security risks associated with using Wallet on said devices. Basically, just be careful about the apps you give SuperUser access and you should be fine.

This is correct. The app will still work as intended, but the unsupported device tag will appear at the top of the app if the device is rooted. Basically, if you've any issues don't expect any help/support from Google. Its a "use at your own risk" type of deal.

[Q] Is there a way to enable call recording in stock ROM?

Hello there,
I have a rooted t999, unlocked. After going through multiple posts on this forum, I have realized that to enable the call recording feature on your samsung galaxy s3 t999, you got to install a custom ROM.
But, is there any way to update a .apk (or any other method) , compatible with the stock ROM on t999 which might enable the call recording feature back?
Cheers!

Thank you guys! But all in all, it seems you have custom ROMs on your phones. I had searched the forums and had come across a phone.apk that seemed to be the answer. Now, I am not able to trace it.

Here is the one from FreeGS3 r6.
This is NOT my work!
This the stock UVALG1 Dialer app modded by uoY_redruM, dev for the FreeGS3 rom. All thanks and credit goes to him!
(Try out his rom, btw. It is awesome!)
This should work on any stock based rom though.
I'm pretty sure this is where the mod is included. Not sure right now if its dependant on another modded apk as well. Heading to work so will check later if this doesn't work by itself.

So will this not work on custom ROMs?
Its the samsung dialer so itll only work on stock based roms.
It'll likely be dependant on other parts of the touchwiz framework and is integrated along with contacts and such.
You can try it but I would be extremely surprised if it worked on anything like CM or ASOP.

That, I do not know. I don't use wifi calling so can't test for you either. I think that it would work, but you may just have to give it a test run to find out. If you do, report back as im curious about it myself now that you brought it up!

Wait, sorry I shoulda been specific I guess! I don't think you can install like a normal app.
Use root explorer and copy the original from /system/app for your backup.
Pay attention to the permissions it has and copy the modded one over the old. Change permissions to what they were before. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik, then reboot system.
Test.

Thanks a lot Doc!
This is quite interesting! Although I have root explorer, I am terrible with the android stuff and so I am worried about replacing this apk with the existing phone.apk. (its the lack of "recovery" knowledge that scares me to go ahead)
Has anyone of you experts made the dialer work so far through this integration of FreeGS3 phone.apk on the stock ROM?
Cheers!
Another thing that I just figured - In my stock ROM, I do not have a phone.apk (attaching screenshot)
Which app should be backed up? I am guessing that the GS3 apk should be renamed as the stock ROM apk. correct?
http://db.tt/t7Ig4rsG
Edit 2:
guys, just figured out that there is actually an .apk called SecPhone_TMO.apk (kept searching for phone.apk )
so, please ignore the screenshot above!
although, will wait for someone to try replacing the stock ROM .apk with the GS3.
Worked perfect on Wicked's ROM. Have to move the stock phone APK out of the system\app directory and replace it with Doc's. Make sure to put the phone in airplane mode first.
Question - where are the recordings stored?
Thanks for the awesome mod!
They are stored at /sdcard/sounds/
Thank uoy_redrum at the freegs3 thread. Its his work not mine.
.....hope he didn't mind me sharing it like this. Shoulda asked first.
Ill check with him to be sure though.
You guys should try his rom. He's an outstanding dev and very helpful!

I wouldn't worry much about it. Especially if you make a copy of the original file as a backup on extSDcard.
Titanium backup works really well too.
Biggest thing to remember is the permissions.
If you can boot into recovery, wiping cache is no big deal at all. Wiping dalvik isn't bad either. When you reboot it'll rebuild dalvik but will use the new app you copied into system.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE ANYTHING!!!
That's the most important yhing you can do when messing with anything. It basically creates an exact image/snapshot of your current setup so you can go back to it at anytime.
Nandroid = Peace of Mind!

[MODS] General Mods for Stock Jellybean

Until the bootloader is unlocked. Attached is some mods to improve upon Jellybean.
Also, I urge people to bring any modifications(or test yourself) some of the mods in the Nexus 4 section that I can hopefully start transposing onto the LG Optimus Jellybean. I suggest if you're unsure if a mod will work. Ask me first, it's better to ask than brick your phone.
I'll make flashable zips and incorporate into lifeless eventually.
thermald-8064.conf
- Download file (this is NOT flashable)
- Extract the file
- Replace the extracted file with the same file in System/etc (Using Root Explorer or similiar)
- This improves the overheating issue based on the modified stock thermaconfig from ICS
Camera-Mod by _EPIC
- Same exact directions as above
- Excep replace the media_profiles with the media_profiles file attached.
More to come
Seems to be working thanks!

Wifi Teather Root
Hello,
Hope this is the right forum, just recently updated to jelly bean LS970ZVB from this forum. Was able to retain root access; however lost my ability to use Wifi Tether for Root Users. Evidently FreeGee hasn't came up with a way to unlock the bootloader just yet after the update. Is there a way with this update to utilize free WIFI wireless tethering. I've looked around everywhere, and nothing has seemed to work. I have all green check marks on the log within the application. Please help!!!!:confused.
Maybe Sqlite will work with forcing entitlement changes; however , cant find this either.

The JB mods thread?
I didn't realize I was in this thread. The camera mod is one I made. It greatly improves camera and video. The thermal one helps with overheating.

Hello,
Hope this is the right forum, just recently updated to jelly bean LS970ZVB from this forum. Was able to retain root access; however lost my ability to use Wifi Tether for Root Users. Evidently FreeGee hasn't came up with a way to unlock the bootloader just yet after the update. Is there a way with this update to utilize free WIFI wireless tethering. I've looked around everywhere, and nothing has seemed to work. I have all green check marks on the log within the application. Please help!!!!:confused.
Maybe Sqlite will work with forcing entitlement changes; however , cant find this either.

Um, wifi tether works fine for me. Not sure why you need an unlocked bootloader to run wifi tether.

I really liked your camera mod for ics so I wanna give this a shot. I don't know where to put the XML file though. I don't see anything names camera_profiles. Does this replace something or just get dropped in somewhere. Thanks for your work. Sorry for my lack of smarts

I can't seem to DL the thermal zip correctly. It says it dl's but when I open it there is nothing in there. The cam mod zip worked fine.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Adri, the bootloader is unlocked, but the boot image that freegee has is for ics and therefore won't boot. If you just flash the recovery and aboot, you are unlocked, but can't debloat since the security error is fixed with the custom boot image. We haven't figured out how to fix it on jb hence the delay.

This one sounded interesting. Wonder if there's a similar mod that would work for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289
It changes the synaptic driver out to increase touch screen responsiveness.
Nothing else really comes to mind though.
There's a virtual CD ROM mod I saw floating around, but I would have to find it again.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Shelnutt has updated freegee to properly work and boot for us (the jb boot image and stuff has been taken care of). Now that is out of the way and we are unlocked/rooted zvb, could you make flashable zips for the 2 mods? would love to try them out
thanks
Always look forward to you and Epics stuff.
thanks op!

Hotspot on 4.3 TouchWiz?

Has anyone managed to get a hotspot workaround running for 4.3 yet?
I'm liking the ROM on now, but I really need hotspot and it doesn't seem to work on any of the posted stock 4.3 ROMs out of the box.

Thank you! I'll check around for that then. Much appreciated!
On Jovys rom I posted a link with modified framework and files that will allow tethering if you are using the MK2 modems.
Tether/hotspot only seems to work on 4.2 roms tried 4.3 and 4.4 none works or seems to have no support at least nobody answer to this kind of issue

That is good to know. I will migrate my way over there and look for that. Now all I have to do is get smart on how to modify framework.

They go under /system/csc folder
You should be able to just overwrite the two that are there.
I typically delete thme out and then write the new ones and change permissions.
Reboot and it will read the new files.

Framework Files
Hello Agelistus,
the files you can find them on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47983804&highlight=tether#post47983804
It will be Post #225
I didn't copy the direct URL as I don't own the link of files. Would be glad to post them here if TheArtiszan is ok with that or re-upload them to make them available in more than one spot.

Much obliged!!
Hey southsidexz, thanks a million!! xda is an entire universe of information and I would have truly burned the midnight oil looking for this to no avail. Gonna try it out now. So far that's my only issue with infamous 9, it seemed that wifi tethering worked natively on 8.0. Again, many many thanks!
Your welcome
Your welcome. Always glad to help people around.
On another note I was dumb enough to rename the framework to old before I replaced it so my Phone got killed..... However thanks to cabloomi and his Recovery Image to .tar.md5 odin flash, I was able to flash CWM latest recovery so it could read my MicroSD card and then flash the zip I created that flashed the framework file. (Thanks to ScatteredHell)
If in case someone else does it... and doesn't want to re-flash the rom or restore old backup.
You can flash Framework via recovery, following this thread instrucitons to get the framework apk into a flashable format for recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840098
If in case you have a recovery that won't read your external SD card (like I did) you can use this link to flash any recovery via ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
(Side Note: if you get errors, please see post #23 on the link above, it provides the solution if you get errors)
Note:I am not responsible for damaging or further damaging your phone, I am just providing help/alternate solutions. Your phone is your responsibility
I follow the steps above and got back up running.

Just to make this easy I had the same problem on replacing framework, too. Then I searched on some other forums here and found out you can copy or move the framework apk into system folder and fix permissions then move that framework I to the framework folder to replace over the existing apk and just reboot. Just make sure to make a nandroid before doing anything just incase something goes wrong.
Thanks
Thanks Carlos2200,
I would've taken that route but sadly I couldn't get into the system folder. I wasn't able to do a nandroid restore as my SD card got messed up and the backup was gone.
Definitely for anyone, make sure you have a good Nandroid before anything.
I will update that the method I mention above does remove all your accounts only. So you will have to re-add them.

An alternative....
For those who don't care to bother with the framework files in the event that 3minit is updated to work with 4.3, I came across an app on the play store called "wi-fi tether router" that seems to work, though I haven't a clue why it does. Changing the user agent on the browser renders it successful it seems. Good luck to all!

|Mod|How-To| Patched Google Wallet |28 Jan 2014|

This is a guide for patching Google Wallet for the S4, which is based off the original work (here and here) by @loserskater. There is also a flashable zip linked below.
This mod is really simple actually. You just need to grab some files from the GT-I9505G and change some CSC code.
You will need the following files from the GT-I9505G:
Code:
/system/app/NfcNci.apk
/system/etc/nfcee_access.xml
/system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so
/system/lib/libnfc-nci.so
You will also need to grab the most recent app from loserskater's thread.
Now just place all the above files in the appropriate locations in your ROM.
In your ROM, navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml and open that document with a text editor.
Find the NFC code and replace with the following from the GT-I9505G:
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_EmbeddedSEType>TypeA</CscFeature_NFC_EmbeddedSEType>
<CscFeature_NFC_DefStatus>ON</CscFeature_NFC_DefStatus>
Notes:
If you flash the zip below Google Wallet will work, but some of your ROM features may change due to the included CSC file. If so, simply ask you ROM dev to update their CSC file with the code above.
If you are modding a TW 4.3 ROM, you will need to use files from a GT-I9505G 4.3 ROM. The same applies for 4.4 when we eventually get the update.
Do not install wallet updates from the Play Store. This will most likely break the patch.
Lot's of additional info available on loser's thread.
If you are outside of the US, you may need the disable device/network check Xposed module by entropy512 (also see post #8).
Download (Wallet version 2.0-R141-v14):
As with anything on xda, flash at your own risk.

I'll try and get this fixed tonight.

So I got it working. Just get the X posed mod google wallet root and region check remover. Then download the Google wallet apk. Then go to Google wallet on your browser and change your Addy to any US address. Worked for me after all that. Make sure to change your address before opening google wallet app.

I updated the DL link in the OP with what should be a fully working version (didn't make a transaction yet).
If you installed the previous version you will need to clear Wallet cache and data before flashing the new version.

Nice find. I'll direct non-US users to your post.
I went in this order, over wrote files from 19505 rom, placed latest mod from other thread, flashed zip from here and Nfc crashes. Is there a particular order I should be doing? I even tried a variant of editing the build.prop

What device do you have?
There is no proper order, and nothing else besides the zip in the OP should be needed (except for possibly the Xposed module).
I suggest re-flashing your ROM, then flashing only the zip in the OP.

Sounds like a lot of work.
There may be an easier way to get wallet working on 4.3. @loserskater posted a flashable zip that included his modded wallet along with the necessary files/edits from the S4 Google Play Edition in the Verizon forums. Not positive this will work on the AT&T version but this is the same approach @dannyben used to get wallet working for us on 4.3 before he locked his thread and pulled the files.
Check out this thread for the zip.
Also take a look at dannyben's thread. Even though it's locked down, it still has some good info including stuff specific to AT&T ROMs and a patch for a couple of issues for those of us running Golden Eye.
Assuming everything else works, if you're running a ROM with an international base you may get fc's for NFC Payment. You can just freeze/delete that app without any issues.
Thank you!!! I have tried everything on my MDOB v20 (4.3) ROM, old versions, many many mods, and this one fixed it! I haven't tried it yet, but says tap and pay ready, which is the farthest along I have gotten (before it wouldn't even load).
Thanks!!
UPdate- Well I have access to Tap to Pay, but it simply doesn't work at a shop. I guess I need to try another route... So frustrating!
a good place to test NFC tap N pay is at CVS and MCDonalds...other places are a hit and miss i noticed.
