Ok, so I know there has been a lot of talk about this already. I searched and read numerous posts but I am still having problems. I dont know if I am reading old threads about this or what but this is what i have done. I downloaded "wallet installer". Im not sure how old the version was but it did in fact change the build prop to say nexus. I installed google wallet and now the "setup tap and pay" tab was finally there. I added a card to set it up and the card was added fine. But then it says "tap and pay failed". I don't know how to fix this problem at this point. I have even tried getting an older version of google wallet, but that did not work either. I tried the xposed installer, but it didnt work either. Is it possible to get this working on our phones?

I was having the same issues as you. I would install the GW Installer, reboot to find my device ID changed to GNex, install GW from the market and set up Tap and Pay, then Restore my build.prop in the GW Installer only to find out that the TnP feature wouldn't survive the build.prop restore. (I think the problem stems from an old version of GWInstaller and the new version of GW.apk. Installer needs updated I believe)
I did it probably 6 times and failed each time. But, in the end I used Loserskater's modded version (which is the latest) and it works fine. Just uninstall any version you have of GW and then push his modded version to /system/app and set permissions, reboot. Open up GW and set up TnP and your are good to go from there.
My Google Wallet physical card should arrive today in the mail. Right in time for Christmas shopping.

Ok. These are not apps that you install in the traditional way (ie Package Installer). What you want to do is go the the OP of that thread I linked and download this one (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.0-R141-V14-MODDED.apk). Then using a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES, you copy that apk and open /system/app and paste it there. Once you do that, longpress on the app and set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r). Once that is done, back out of your file explorer and reboot. Then your GW will be installed. Upon reboot, you'll see it say, Updating Apps 1 of 1.
Open you app drawer, fire up the app and set up TnP.

Based on your signature, are you doing this on Tapatalk? If so, then your apk is in your tapatalk default download folder (wherever you have that located) and not in the normal "downloads" folder.
I meant i "cant" copy from the regular download manager. But i dont see the apk in ES
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Don't use the Download Manager.
Where is your tapatalk folder located? Give me the pathway.
Edit: Do you have a Tapatalk icon in your notificaiton bar stating that you downloaded the app?

I dont know what tapatalk is but i got a notification that it was downloaded, yes. While in ES, i searched for the apk and found it but then i tried moving it, but it wouldnt move to the system/app file. I dont know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It says copy task failed when i try to "copy to" or move task failed when i try to "move to". Maybe its doing this because i searched for the file in ES instead of locating in manually?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Ok then. So you found the app. That is good. The reason why it won't move to /system/app is probably becuase you need to mount the /system partition in the file explorer. Since I don't use ES, I can't help you with that.
With Root Explorer, there is a button on the top left that stated "Mount R/O or Mount R/W". You need to mount your /system/app as RW.
Edit:
Here is how to mount it and where to find the settings to do so with ES.

Lol..so close, yet so far. I think that link you just sent explains how to get the ES app. Im confused because after reading that thread i dont see where it explains how to make the wallet apk file writeable to be able to copy and paste to system/app using ES.

The link that I posted was to show you how to use ES file explorer to mount /system.
You don't need to do anything to the Wallet app other than copy/paste.

Yes. Make system RW. Then copy yout Wallet apk after you do that to /system/app. Longpress to set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r) and reboot.
Let's get someone else in here that might know more about ES.

Greetings,
I'm also attempting to delete select apps.
I'm running on a rooted (Unrevoked 3.21 & Unrevoked-forever) stock ROM.
However, any attempt to delete an app while SU'd in Terminal-Emulator, returns
failed; read-only filesystem.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for all your time and consideration.
--Chris
The way I deleted these apps was the following: I have clockwork recovery running. So I ran that. Then in the recovery screen, You select partition menu and mount the /system. Next I ran cmd and opened the adb shell. The command to remove app is "rm /system/app/ + name of app" if you need more info, let me know.
Hope that helps.

So I'm not able to find a 'how to' on changing the boot animation, been running incRom for awhile now and figured I'd change things up a bit. Anyone know how or know a link to view how to change this? Thanks in advance
Do you have root explorer? If so you can copy and paste a new boot animation right in to the proper location. Probably system/customize/resource. Just rename or move your current one so you can still use it later on. I just made a pretty badass one recently. If you want I can post a flashable zip for you. Just let me know where its located and what clockwork recovery you have.

Alright. So from root explorer scroll down to system. At the top it has mount ro and mount rw. You want to mount rw. Now find the original boot and rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak. Go back to the SD card through root explorer, long press and copy the new bootanimation. Now go back to system/bin and paste. Should work from there. Ive never had to set or fix permissions. Holla back.

I have downloaded the apk and moved it into my system apps but I can figure out how to get it to install. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks.
You need to make sure the permissions are the same as the other system apps and then reboot.

Root explorer or es file manager find the /system/app should be browser.apk then hold on it and select properties and change the permissions. Should be the first row completely checked then the next row should only have the first two checked.

Nevermind, I figured out how to fix the permissions. Thanks for your help.
I posted a thread earlier, asking how to revert a Modded google play store to normal and barely got any real.. answers. I was wondering if I got a normal APK Google Play Store, replace the modded version in System>Apps with Root Browser and then Restore with Titanium Backup and reboot would it work? Mind if anyone would care to confirm this for me? If not then give me your way of returning to normal Google Play Store status.
[I was able to restore mine by downloading the newest version and putting it in system/apps, renaming it and then restarting. Make sure you change the permissions on the new file to make sure it will work right. You need to rename the new play store to phonesky.apk most likely. Just make sure that is what yours is called in system/app first.
yes, copy the playstore you want to use, copy it over using root explorer, copy to system/app dir, renaming the original first, then set the correct permissions, and reboot, it will work...
thank you
