Finally, got google wallet to install on the SGS3 (UK)

WARNING: THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK ON 4.1 (JELLYBEAN)
Ok, so first things first! I haven't tried using it to make purchases yet nor have I tried adding or topping up cards (I've only activated the prepaid google card and got the $10)
After 2 weeks of trying various methods and reading through various xda forums/posts etc and google I finally got it.
You'll need;
The latest firmware on SGS3 (can't confirm it will work on previous firmware)
A rooted device
market enabler
and finally the modaco patched google wallet
If you've never had google wallet on your phone you can skip steps 1-2
1. force close google wallet and clear the cache/data.
2. uninstall google wallet and delete any of it's files you might have saved.
3. backup your build.prop file from the system folder and move the original somewhere else.
4. open your build.prop file and look for the lines that says ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, and ro.product.device.
5. you want all 3 to read htc_jewel like so
Code:
ro.product.model=htc_jewel
ro.product.brand=htc_jewel
ro.product.name=m0xx
ro.product.device=htc_jewel
6. move your edited build prop file back to the system folder.
7. put your google wallet apk in the system/app folder using your chosen method.
8. Do Not open google wallet yet (This is where I was going wrong for most of it)
9. restart device.
10. switch NFC on if it isn't on.
11. open google wallet and follow on screen instructions.
options 12 - 14 might not be necessary but I'm putting them just in case
12. open market enabler and set it to t mobile us.
13. open the play store and find google wallet and uncheck automatic update.
14. you can now reset your google play back to UK.
source(s) various XDA posts (Mainly HTC forum) and Modaco for the patched apk

Steps 12 - 14 won't be necessary for sure.
Once you have got it working have you tried changing your build.prop back to see if it still works? Long term implications of having your phone think its something else could break other apps.
Plus on a side note, I thought Market Enabler didn't work with the new market versions?

what is the benefit of having google wallet in the UK? are we able to use it at all and for what?

I can confirm that Wallet now works in LFB without any of the hacks in the OP
Just have LFB rom installed and push the modified Wallet file in the OP to system, reboot and it works.
NFC.apk was upgraded in LFB this must have been included in the changes.

that's good but tell me... who has seen an NFC enabled payment system anywhere in England?!!? I know McDonalds have it, will this Google wallet work with that?! I don't want to bust out my phone to pay and end up looking like a tit! haha

Loads of shops
All McDonalds have them, All Greggs (bakery) have them, Most Pret coffee shops have them now and there are lots more too.
Visa and Samsung are pushing NFC payments for the Olympics so expect loads more to pop up this summer! (along with Visa apps).

Quite a few places in London..
I have an AMEX and VISA with contactless but never managed to get it working.. and yes I feel like a tit for trying each time
:crying:
EDIT:
I managed to get google wallet installed as per Lenny UK's instructions with the new firmware.. I just can't add the google prepay card.
And still unsure whether we can use Google Wallet rather than our normal contactless cards in the UK

sweet i did not know about greggs/subway. That's pretty sweet. I really REALLY want to try this. Anyone actually tried it out and about yet?

Look for Modaco's forum post with this app, he details how to get money loaded onto the app.

over before it began..."Application Not Installed"
and my only choice is "OK". no explanation. My device is rooted and on siryah kernel, Omega 8.0, baseband XXLFB?

You need to push this file to /system/app it will not install like a regular app.... I said this as did the OP... please read

apologies. Excitement got the better of me. Thanks

It seems that you need to make the changes to the build.prop file to add your google prepay card and after that registers, you can resotre your original file.
unfortunately, to add more credit, you need to pay over the odds to use an american credit card.

well hopefully we're all set for when it launches! in the meantime I think my next meal will be on Google thanks for the great thread and info

I got angry with it not working so removed it

Hey Guys, this is great. Quick warning though there is a known issue that if you switch rom, wipe you device or do anything like that without going into wallet first and using the reset wallet option inside google wallet , it can break the nfc secure element in your phone and you will not be able to use google wallet ever again on that phone.
This happened to quite a few people when I wrote a similar thread to this about 3 weeks ago now and some people had to RMA their phone or claim on insurance. I mean it even stopped working on my phone when I tried to remove it properly using the reset wallet option. So i deleted the guide and had the thread closed just incase.
I am not saying that this will happen to you or anything like that, just thought I would warn people as I'm sure as Lenny said there will be alot of english wallet apps coming out this summer for the the Olympics so it might be worth waiting untill then. Not trying to scare people or anything well done to the OP great post just don't want people breaking their new phones.

Likewise, but it does work - you just have to change ro.product.device and ro.product.model in build.prop to "htc_jewel", then force stop the app and clear data in "manage apps", then reboot.

It took me a while too because I had installed the wallet without chaning the build.prop but this is what I did.
in google wallet >settings > reset wallet
delete apk from system/app
restarted the device
backed up and changed the build.prop
placed apk back into system/app
restarted the device
started google wallet
added card.. (it takes about 2-3 mins)
exited wallet
restored original build.prop.
seems like a hassle but I suppose there's a free mcdonald's meal for your hard work

[FIX] Google Wallet Outside US

I've been searching for a way to get Google Wallet working on my 7 here in Australia and eventually came across a couple articles that did the trick for me, so I thought I'd share.
Firstly, you need to be rooted and you'll want the patched Wallet.apk from here, which was linked from this XDA thread. Then I used these instructions but with a slight modification. This is the procedure:
Take a backup of Wallet.apk, just in case. Use your favourite file manipukation app, such as Root Explorer, to copy Wallet.apk from /system/app to somewhere safe - /sdcard, for example.
Go into Settings --> Apps, find Wallet, clear cache, clear data and force stop. I like to be sure
Open up Titanium Backup, browse for Wallet, clear data, then uninstall.
Push the patched Wallet.apk you downloaded into /system/app. DO NOT try to install it, as it will fail.
Set permissions on this file to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Go back to Titanium Backup and defrost Wallet.
Open Wallet, register, claim $10, win.
Before anybody comments about unnecessary steps, I'm sure some of them are but this is what I did and it worked for me. I'm not sure if it is necessary but I already had a card registered in my Wallet account with a US address. That is a regular Aussie Visa card where I just set the address to be some random address in The Bronx (I also have a Google Voice number for the same area). I had done this to purchase a magazine from the Play store (over VPN).
Once you are set up, you will need to add a payment card - I added a Google Payment Card - then you will get a confirmation email and will have a Nexus 7 screen looking like the attached, with $10 courtesy of Google.
While researching this, I found several examples of people in Australia successfully using Nexus phones to pay for goods where Pay Pass / Pay Wave is used but I haven't tried it myself yet. Come on, it's 10pm Saturday night!

Think about it: You're credit card doesn't have 3G
I don't know all the technical details of how it works but I presume it is the same as a credit card process - i.e. the merchant's credit card machine verifies the card, then checks in with the bank. The analogy here would be the merchant's machine verifies the account by interrogating the NFC chip, the talks to Google to confirm payment is good.

did u get the 25$ credit as well?

You get $10

Does this work in the UK? I assume by Lennyuk's response that it does?

In Wallett or just in the Play Store? They are 2 different things.

Google have clarified the no internet issue (I dont have the link on me, I think it was in their blog):
To make a payment, you DO NOT need an internet connection
To change between cards on the device, you DO need an internet connection.
To top up, you DO need an internet connection (I would imagine for accurate balance, you would as well)
So, you can use a Nexus 7 to pay without any issues and no internet connection

I tried Google Wallet with $10 credit paying to buy a cup of coffee here in Taiwan, but failed.
It does react in both ends when the NFC touched, but on the cashier side, it said "read card error"...
I will try next time with the credit card added to Google Wallet...

Google Wallet - $10
Google Play - $25

Very nice post! I just enabled the modaco modified wallet on my Galaxy Nexus and will test it tomorrow in MacDonald (italy). This has already been reported as working in a local blog @ android.hdblog.it
Thanx
(At the moment it's impossible to topup the Google Virtual Card from Italy)

I have seen people able to use the $10 on wallet in Australia but I don't know of anyone who has been able to apply money onto their own cards on the Wallet.
Has anyone been able to do this successfully yet?

No, that's a little different. To make Books and Magazines work on your tablet, use Titanium to defrost the apps. To get Music, you need to connect to a US VPN to sign up. Once you've signed up, it doesn't check again

Install Titanium Backup, list apps, tap on Google Play Books, hit Defrost. Repeat for the other apps
You have to do this after each reboot on stock ROM.

Its weird because my phone is able to access all these apps. My tablet is rooted and I checked /system/app/ and all are there but when I try to launch it, it "Activity not found - com.Google.apps.appname" know what I should do now?

Try checking through Titanium Backup if the app is frozen.
My nexus didn't show the App initially, but it was actually already installed, but was frozen by google due to country restriction.
I unfrozen the app using Titanium, reboot and seems to work fine.
Although I still have to use VPN and Market Enabler to access content on Play, but content I copy through USB seems to work fine on the app.

Actually I have a quick question. Were you able to get the 25 dollar app credit and transformers movie? Because I wasn't able to get any

I don't have the 25$ credit as well, I don't think you can get the credit if you activated your device outside "USA".
Google also double checks the credit card address to confirm your country of origin as well.
Honestly it's not a big deal, there are many ways to get the movie.
I plug in and copied a few movies (including Transformer ) to nexus and they show up and play fine on Play Movie.
My only problem is Play Book & Play Magazine doesn't recognize anything not purchase through Play.
So I have to use other readers (Aldiko) which read my ebook, and magazine.
The interface is not bad, actually better then Play Book/Magazine, maybe give that a try.

Another option, you can Root your device and try running Market Enabler + DroidVPN.
I was able to access the US version of Play and can download App without country restriction.
But I haven't tried purchase as I don't have a US address tied credit card.
The downside is VPN is slow, you have to upgrade Premium account. You may have better luck trying than I do.
But DroidVPN seems down these few days for Upgrading Premium account.
If anyone has other alternative for DroidVPN, please advise?

You don't need a US credit card. Just add a US address to your regular credit card

If those system apps are on your device you should be able to access them by unfreezing them with titanium backup. Once unfrozen they will be visible, unfortunately with the latest updates Google wallet no longer works for me. (Still had $1.67 left on it too )

If you could disable all location services and connect to US VPN at all time, then google wallet should work... just need to wipe network location and play store data...

Doesn't MarketEnabler spoof that you are in the us? I enabled it and it still says not supported...

Given that Google has stopped giving out prepaid credit and AFAIK you can only add US credit and debit cards I'm not sure how useful this will be.
If I'm mistaken let me know.

Ok so I defrosted all locked Google apps like books and wallet. All of them are useless as they're empty and none of those services work abroad. The free books seem preloaded tho. I'll set up a US proxy and clear the data later, see how it goes. Google wallet wouldn't even open without updating bwt so I sideloaded the newest version but as expected, it simply opens and says it's not available in my country.

Well through a proxy I was able to access all the content from the play store I didn't have access to before. But Google wallet still says instantly that it's not enabled for my device or carrier. But I really don't need it so I'm not going to bother changing my locale, spoofing my carrier and running a proxy. I'll probably go ahead and freeze all those apps again except for books.
If anyone else feels inclined to pursue this, feel free.

It's just a personal preference because its easier to install all apps when I have them all in one folder, rather then always searching for them on the play store.
Got used to it because I had my phone a lot of time on service, and it was frustrating to always install everything again and again.

The ones that aren't installing are paid for apps bud, how'd you get them then? Too coincidental that the paid apps won't install, but the free ones will...
If you paid for them from the Play Store, you can hit the little magnifying glass and type in the first 3-4 letters, and it'll find the app right away, takes seconds to do. You can also log into your Google account and search/install that way.
If you got these apps without paying for them, you won't find help here for that.

I didn't get any help, just atacks on WHY did I do it this way and not the other way. My grandma doesn't use the walking sticks even if her life would be better with them. It's a personal preference It doesn't matter why she wont use the sticks even if I cut off her legs.
If I'll ask what are those 4 gold dots on the side of the tab, I wanna know what. Not explain to you why would I use them and why not!
Now please, can we get to the point of the question?

Wow, so you don't want to just TRY going to the Play Store to install one of these paid for apps to see (called troubleshooting) if it'll install? Google keeps a list of everything you installed, Settings - My Apps - swipe over to All, there's your list.
I know you bought the tablet, no one questioned that. You are asking how to install an app that you have to pay for but you got it via another means (pirated app), and it won't install...again, you won't find help for that here. You're getting asked questions which helps with trying to figure out the root of the problem, and your grandma reference is just disturbing and irrelevant.
Paid for apps don't get installed in /system like system apps are, so the question is relevant.
So here's your answer: Go to the Play Store, search for ONE of the paid apps you are having trouble installing, and TRY installing it from there. Oh yeah, and in Android 4.2 there is more built in security for pirated app detection, so like I've said before, if they are apps that cost money and you didn't purchase each of those apps, you won't be able to install them.

You are asking how to install an app that you have to pay for but you got it via another means (pirated app), and it won't install...again, you won't find help for that here. You're getting asked questions which helps with trying to figure out the root of the problem, and your grandma reference is just disturbing and irrelevant.
Paid for apps don't get installed in /system like system apps are, so the question is relevant.
So here's your answer: Go to the Play Store, search for ONE of the paid apps you are having trouble installing, and TRY installing it from there. Oh yeah, and in Android 4.2 there is more built in security for pirated app detection, so like I've said before, if they are apps that cost money and you didn't purchase each of those apps, you won't be able to install them.

Thanks. That's all that I needed.

Furthermore, have you enabled "Unknown Sources" in Settings to sideload apps like you are trying to do? If not, that could be your problem as well. It could also be the the version of the apps you are trying to sideload are old and aren't supported in Android 4.x, hence the suggestion to try installing from the Play Store.
With Android 4.2 sideloaded apps are scanned, please review: this. It gives you information about what you are trying to do, and the "why" aspect of it.
So before you fly off the handle again with odd no-legged grandma references, try the above mention suggestions to see what happens. Are you rooted, or is your N7 stock?

Well U might be right about the apps being not 4.2 supported. Because some of them are old.
I'm not rooted, just stock.

Some apps are not compatible with certain devices.
It doesn't matter whether a user paid for them or not. They paid for the app. and it installed on the device they had at the time, and it worked. Nowhere is it written, that a dev has to support any devices a person buys in the future.
The app dev's, have no obligation to program the app to work on everybody;s devices, regardless whether you paid for it or not. This is the nature of programming development.
Nowhere is it said that if you buy a new device, the app you purchased last year is compatible. If somebody can prove me wrong, please tell me.
Yes, you may be able to sideload the app. Another way is to make a build.prop edit to make it compatible. This is OK, and you are welcome to do so.
What is not acceptable, is to ask for paid apk's or discuss anything related to software piracy. This is against XDA rules, and also, against the law in most countries.

Your weak rationalization aside, it is still piracy.
