APK method
Prerequisites
You need:
(NOT in the US only) A rooted device
(NOT in the US only) Market Enabler
A device running Android 4.0.2+
com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.apk saved on your device
General Instructions
Pull down the notification bar and hit the settings icon next to the date. Then choose "About phone" at the bottom. If "Android version" is NOT listed as "4.0.2", "4.0.3" or "4.0.4", you need to update to a new version. Do that before continuing.
Now, what needs to happen next depends on where you are:
I'm not in the US!
If you're NOT in the US, you'll need to be rooted. Grab Market Enabler from the Android Market and install it.
Run Market Enabler and set yourself as "US T-Mobile".
Now follow the US instructions.
I'm in the US!
Open the Wallet APK on your phone e.g. using ASTRO/File Expert/Root Explorer/the download manager.
Now just open Wallet, and it should correctly authorise.
Troubleshooting
Help! Google Wallet says "Unsupported Device!"
This means that you're on a rooted device, and is perfectly normal. Transactions will still work - it's just Google's way of letting you know that you may be less secure than you would be normally, as rooted apps will be able to access Google Wallet internal files. Be vigilant when approving root access!
Secure Element not responding!
If you have a Nandroid backup of a version of Wallet that worked, try restoring to that. Otherwise, you're screwed unless you get a new device. The Secure Element in your phone has now locked you out.
EDIT: research seems to show that Android is not actually enabling NFC-EE, which might be why it can't communicate with the SE. This needs further research.
To try to avoid this, before flashing a new ROM please, please, PLEASE: open Google Wallet. Open the Wallet Settings menu. Select "Reset Google Wallet" from within the app. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS SELECTING "CLEAR DATA" FROM WITHIN MANAGE APPS!
The Google Wallet reset system will disable it's background services, reset the secure element by deleting the Google Wallet applet (which is what you want!), clear the database, ping C2DM that it is now deprovisioning, clear the shared preferences, clear files and cache, and finally shut itself down. Clearing data from Manage Apps will only delete the database and shared preferences: it will not deprovision, disable background services, and most importantly will not remove the Wallet applet from the secure element.
Insufficient Privileges. Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)
Err, what? This should only occur if you previously used the ZIP method. If so, you'll need to manually restore the old versions of the files.
This can be achieved by either restoring a Nandroid backup from before you flashed OR by following instructions in this post.
I have something not answered here!
Post in this topic and it'll probably get answered pretty quickly.
I restored a backup and Wallet isn't working
Try uninstalling then reinstalling the APK. This should get the SE back in sync with the Wallet status.

Haha, you packaged and released it
My credit goes to mike1986

Lukegb,
Does this zip include the Wallet (1).apk you had me flash in the other thread? With that I was able to successfully add my Citi card where as before it continued to force close.

It should do.

I restored to my stock backup, did a wipe and confirmed it working on stock ROM (I was originally only getting success in MoDaCo ROM.)

Adding Funds
I flashed the zip you posted in the original Google Wallet forum earlier today after wiping cache/formatting etc and this worked fine on the stock rom, I now have my $10 pre paid card all set up.
Have any of you worked out a way to add funds to this card or is the Citi card the only way to use this more often?
Thanks for all your work

To add funds to your Google Prepaid card:
1) On your device, open Wallet app.
2) Choose Payment Cards.
3) Tap the Google paypass card.
4) Choose Add Funds

I am in the UK and the add funds section has the country locked to the US with no option to change it

Did any of you use Wallet on a Nexus S?
I had been using it, and I had added $25 of my own funds back then, bought something, and I had like $23 left in my wallet.
I did successfully get this Wallet working on my Galaxy Nexus (thank you!!!) but when I added the Google pre-paid, it gave me a new card (the last 4 digits are different than what I had prior) and I just have the $10 for signing up.
I'm guessing it's also tied somehow to hardware?

I need to look into this, because Google has been giving me a new user ID every time I've reinstalled the app...

This was the first time installing it on my Galaxy Nexus. I "installed" it numerous times on my Nexus S though and every time I had to sign back into it, it always gave me the same user ID/correct funds.

Could someone tell me how to flash this thing? I have clockwork mode but the ""flash zip from sd card" shows me some weird layout of folders..

Sorry, I've managed to get it working now, it's all fine.

Is there any chance an APK will be released that will be installed on a stock ROM? I really don't want to root just to do this since it'll wipe my phone and I'll have to start over also want to keep the phone stock for a bit.

I think you will need to wait for google with out root

The only way I see that working is if Google release it.
You need to either flash this after doing a wipe or by modifying.
The only was I can see you managing to do this is if you unlock the bootloader (which will wipe your phone anyway), then boot into CWM (not flash) and then install the zip.
Then when you reboot your phone, CWM will be gone and you should get a stock ROM with Wallet installed.
No idea if that would work though

flashed zip after flashing Ir3 and all seems well. $10 free cash available. unable to "add funds" though.

Same problem also since this morning... Yesterday I had no problem using my phone and when I used my phone this morning bam "android.processus.acore" stopped (my HoX is set to French ).
I just tried to reinstall (without wipe) the Rom... but no changes
I'm gonna try Wipe cache / dalvik.. and if there is no improvement.. will go for a full wipe ..
Update 1: Btw, I haven't installed any new apps since yesterday, nor updates
Update 2: Dlvik and cache didn't solved the problem

Did that too... Also no use... Is that some 2103 bug?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I faced the exact same problem a minute into 2013!!
This is what I did to solve the issue:
1. Disable auto-sync
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Contacts Storage
3. Select "Clear Data"
4. Your address book is wiped clean
5. Reboot and enable auto-sync to get your contact list populated again from Google
Problem solved!
As an additional step, if you want you can use a tool like Export Contacts to save your address book as a CSV before clearing it in Step #3.

Update 3:
- I Full wiped the phoned, installed new rom (through CWM 5.8.4.0) qnd it worked perfectly.
- Then I reinstalled the tom with the % battery (without wipe) and again crashes
- So, reinstalled the whole thing without % battery... for the time being, runs smoothly..
Keep you informed..

is this some kind of 2013 bug?
i just wiped clean my contacts yesterday do i must do it again to fix this problem?
it 100% sure after i wipe clean the contacts it will work again?

notice tousals
I'm not sure if this is a guaranteed to solve the issue for good. But, this seemed to be the easiest and quickest way to solve it without having to do a factory reset.
But it does seem to be related to the change of year. Some sort of bug I guess that got triggered with the year rollover.

Solved
With de Factory Reset the problem continue, but with de address book wiped the problem is gone for good :good:

After the contacts db wipe it was fine for few hours, came back...
And I had it factory reset yesterday I do not think this will help in the long run.
---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
So the wipe solution wont help me. After it syncs its get bugged again.
What might have helped. I edited my contacts that had birthday on 29.02 to 28.02 <<< this year there is no 29 only 28.
And in the contacts it showed as 1.03
Now it shows "correctly" 28.02
PS: While editing the app crashed and had to do it few times. Maybe through google contacts editing might work also if the app crashes for you while changing the date.
Sorry dad HTC or Google hates your birthday!
If someone will find out why there is such a problem let me know so I can change the date back

So glad im not the only one that had this problem. I had the same thing after midnight. I did delete my contacts but then my call history and text contacts went crazy so i just did a factory reset. Seems to be fixed for now. I did notice however that my background screen doesnt seem to scroll between homescreens anymore like it used to, but i dont know it thats just been since it updated to JB or not

I ended up uninstalling facebook and unfriending the person with a leap year birthday (functioning phone more important, sorry!) reinstalled, resynced and no problems since.

Hey guys,
I had the exact same problem on my One S.
After a factory reset, the problem occured again and then I found this post and a clue the 29/02.
One of my contact has her birthday on this date. Only by removing this birthday in the contact sheet, everything came back to normal.
So don't perform a full wipe too quickly.

Also u may try to remove the facebook account, and then reconnect.
This is a solution too!

And when I want to turn on the mobile data or call to someone it's go to Emergency Call mode ...

And I Changed my ROM.even I flashed CM ROM but the problem didn't solved.
Why does my problem happen and what should I do ?????

I installed many official and custom ROM but you say factory reset ?????
I'm sure this problem is not because of an application.because when I Factory reset or install a new ROM it is good for a while but after 10 minutes the problem is shown ...
When I Insert a Sim Card in the device the screen turn off and on quickly and the network of Sim Card will Unavailble and it goes to Emergency Call Mode ...
What's your Idea?

well i just want to make sure and the reason a screenshot of the background is because sometimes when you quit an app, it doesnt always shuts downs and runs on background and could be the cause of the problem. so can you please post a screenshot.

You mentioned you have flashed many ROMs both custom and original.
Do you use TitaniumBackup to restore? And if so, do you restore data as well?
I would recommend not restoring phone data and when you restore your apps, do a few at a time to see if it is an app causing this.
If you don't use TitaniumBackup, and allow Google to restore, do the same.
You say it starts to happen after several minutes after a fresh flash... I think there is an app that is causing this.
Good luck.

Permissions get reset constantly for apps

Permissions get reset constantly for apps, I think I read it somewhere that anytime the Launcher updates that all the app permissions for apps on my phone reset. Is there anyway to fix this?
I am sick and tired of allowing things to get permissions on my phone over and over again. I never had this issue on my Nexus 6.

Stock HTC US ROM, and stock launcher.
The permissions reset all the time, and I have one friend that is on sprint on their ROM (I use the US unlocked ROM) and he has the same issue. where he will set the permissions to allow, and then out of nowhere the permissions reset on him.
Really irritates me with the google opinion rewards app, because I dont get any surveys since the app keeps losing the location permission.

any app that asks for permission the first time you open it is doing it, and it seems like it is almost random when it will ask for permission again. Like I right now I just opened my camera app and it asked for location permission again.
I dont see a box that says dont ask again if I tell it "allow"

Nope, just an allow and deny option, nothing else.
That must be specific to your ROM or something.

don't think so its specific to rom... as i had used multiple roms and every rom gives me a permission option with that option as shared in ss

I have the same issue and it's really irritating. I'm on the stock unlocked version.
I didn't think it was the launcher update that causes it. I suspected it was the fact that I use adopted storage and when I reboot my phone, I noticed that occasionally some app icons appear unavailable with the "X" icon. When that happens, I feel like that's when all the permissions get reset (and lost)

tried alternative launcher to see? as i am not stock my result won't help much as there are few more users who is reporting this permission being reset on reboot....

Joining the boat here. My app permissions also get reset every now and then. It only happens after a reset of the phone. I always turn the phone off at night, next morning all permissions are gone. It doesn't happen every morning, just sometimes.
I'm on a completely stock phone, never tinkered with root and s-off etc. It happened on both the first software version it came with, and the current latest software from HTC.
I have also set my external SD-card to be seen as internal storage. Is that the culprit?

I have had the loss of permissions problem after restart for a while. It has persisted across multiple hard resets, and even multiple devices! I am working on a theory. For anyone here who has had this issue, did you encrypt your device? I'm trying to find a common thread, as clearly every device hasn't had this issue, but many have. Any input is appreciated.
Now I also can't even change the permissions back, as it claims I have a screen overlay. Not only do I not, but disabling screen overlay for all apps still results in that error.

Now I also can't even change the permissions back, as it claims I have a screen overlay. Not only do I not, but disabling screen overlay for all apps still results in that error.

PS: I'm on an M9. I hesitate to upgrade to the 10 if this is an HTC-wide issue. It has been a nightmare for me.

Why not use appopsxposed? Works great for me and never resets ?

I surely have my device encrypted.
What's appopsxposed?

What carrier version? Or are you unlocked?
If it's not encryption, I'm puzzled what other specifics could be causing this. Is anyone else using any other settings that could be somewhat atypical? How about launchers? Is everyone using a third-party launcher perhaps?

I'm on the stock non-carrier-locked software. Not rooted. Not s-off, nothing. HTC sense launcher.

Did you ever wipe the partition cache?

No. I did do a double factory reset 1 week ago, cause my device had become very slow.

I want to uninstall AppLock and the uninstall button is disabled as its a part of device administrator
Is someone else facing this kind of issue and also what is the fix for this ?
Please help

You can't uninstall it if it's a Device Administrator. Just uncheck that box and try again.

I think you didn't get what I'm trying to say here..
I want to remove Applock from Device Administrators so that I can uninstall Applock, which I'm unable to do
When I uncheck Applock, the Settings app restarts / crashes and it restores Applock as Device Admin
Hence, I'm stuck with this, and I can't remove Applock from Device Admins

Oh okay, now I understand. Well, that shouldn't happen. What does that app do exactly?

Its supposed to lock apps in my phone which certainly fails to do.
Its not only AppLock which cannot be removed from Device Admins, its with the Android Device Manager too
Its a bug !!

Just format your phone... Honestly, I'm not sure there's other solution.

I am facing the same issue with app easytouch, do let me know if you find any solution

device administrator ???
I try to uninstall the first N Launcher It is not the default launcher. When I select it I keep getting "SETTINGS HAS STOPPED" Restart App.
So not sure what to do about this.

Start android in safe mode. And then disable device administrator setting and uninstall the App.
To restart android in safe mode open the shut-down menu and press and hold the shut-own entry for 2-3 sec. until you get the option to restart in safe mode. To leave safe mode restart you phone.

Yes. I tried to remove the app from device admin in safe mode. But it didn't worked. The settings crashes in safe mode as well.

Doesn't the app have inbuilt uninstall option to remove it from Device Administrators list, like Greenify?

If you are rooted, install TiBU and then try it. If not, then I am out of ideas.

After uninstalling the offending app, you can uninstall TiBU and unroot the phone. Merely flashing the ROM again will make you to go back to stock. You will/should not lose any data if properly done, provided your bootloader is already unlocked. If not, then I don't know how else to do it.

Well then you are out of luck. There is no way to remove it without root.
