This is a guide on how I got Google Wallet working on my SGN2 (N7105) in New Zealand (which is not supported by Google Wallet at the moment).
Should work for all variants.
REQUIREMENTS:
1: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Should work with all variants) TESTED ON N7105
2: Root Access
3: MarketEnabler from here
4: Newest modded Wallet.apk from here
5: Root Explorer from PlayStore/Market
Guide
Step 01: Clear data for Google PlayStore/Market (and any updates)
Step 02: Change build.prop details to this - (use root explorer)
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
Make sure it has correct permissions still!!
Step 03: Reboot
Step 04: Use MarketEnabler and set your market to US T-Mobile
Step 05: Push the modified Wallet.apk to \system\app and make sure to give it correct permission!!
Step 06: Open wallet
Step 07: Set up wallet
Step 08: Reboot
Step 09: Check wallet is still working
Step 10: Change build.prop values back to what they were before you changed them
Step 11: Reboot
Step 12: Check wallet is still working
ENJOY!!
All this information was taken from different threads and I just pulled the info together for what worked for me - none of it is my work.
Thanks to everyone involved in getting this working on the SGN2.
I may upload a video on how to do it...so more to come!!!
Thanks dude...i appreciate it.
Well done.
Keep up the good work..and keep us always up 2 date....nice share.

hi, wallet is working fine when i change the prop value to the one you stated before. but when i change it back to galaxy note 2 prop before, the wallet seems to be not working saying not yet available for your device or mobile network. is it okay to just leave it at galaxy nexus?
Working in the uk? Can we add cards

I have tried this about 30 timed now and it gets stuck at the same point every single time:
"Setting up Wallet for purchases"
Anyone have any ideas?
Rooted stock 4.1.2 n7100 uk model unlocked.
Thanks.
Managed to sort it.
Heres how I fixed it... hopefully it will help anyone else with the same problem.
1. Follow the instructions in the op.
2. Download google wallet 1.5-r87-v15 NOT the newer version or any modded version
3. Continue with the instuctions in the op.
If you installed the newer version ending in v13, then 1st clear the cache and data file and stop the program. Then using titanium backup, uninstall it.
Restart your phone and then start the process again using the older version.
Once installed, search google for google wallet, click the play store link and open with play store.
Scroll down until you see a tick box saying allow automatic updates and untick it.
Restart your phone and set it up.

It's not a galaxy nexus, it's just a modded n7100.
There is not a modded wallet in link at prereq step 4 any more. Paul has redone it using an exposed framework hack to patch out the region and device checks now.
I did manage to get wallet working using an older version like previous poster said but I cant setup any cards, I am in the UK.
Is anyone actually able to add cards in a region that google does not support and able to purchase anything using NFC because thats the goal for me, not just to see what I have bought at the play store?
Does anyone have links for modded wallet apks that work, or is it best to get the latest from the market, use the framework to patch out the checks and then convert to a system app?
The latest from the playstore/market not seem to work, it get disabled/frozen when you reboot and hangs at "Setting up Wallet for Purchases" stage after you enable/defrost it.
This is anoying, visa were supposed to be rolling out NFC for purchases, they trialled it at the olympics last year by giving all the competitors smart phones with NFC for payments, so far nothing has happened.
Google are dragging their feet about releasing it officially here in the UK.
AFAIK google still checks the region the card is registered in, so unless you have a card from a region that is supported it wont work.
For now I've given up, I dont want to screw up my secure element on my phone, reset wallet from settings before uninstalling it is supposed to protect against this.

I agree!
I am from Australia and none of these methods work. I have tried flash and unflashing, clearing system, cache everything.
Newer version doesn't get past the setting up wallet for purchases and using the old apps gets stuck at adding my Mastercard.

If they simply accepted paypal we wouldn't hace this problem but google don't want it to be easy do they?

[Guide] Google Wallet working on Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (JB
[Guide] to get Google Wallet working on Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2 in New Zealand
I want to start by saying thanks to evilbarcode best post out there However i had to do a few different things to get google wallet 100% work on DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2
REQUIREMENTS:
1: Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom). A similar method would probably work for others.
2: Root Access
3: MarketEnabler from here
4: Root Explorer from PlayStore/Market
5. BACK UP! use Titanium Backup ★ root from the play store if you have no idea how to back up you phone. this will save you a lot of time if something goes wrong.
Guide
1) download the latest google wallet app from the xda post "Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc". usecom.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.6-R96-v13.zip - [Click for QR Code] (4.60 MB, 1781 views) which is/was the latest and put the
2) Use root explorer and mount as r/w. you must mount as r/w (it is an option in root explorer. look and you will find it)
3) go to /system/ and look for build.prop
4) open with text editor in Root explorer
5) within the file, search look for ro.xxxx, not ro.sem.xxx. look for exactly below.
so Only change the ro.product. fields here. so it should look like
ro.product.brand=SEMC
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.build.tags=release-keys
you will also notice that ro.product.model= doesnt exist. ADD IT!
Note: If you stuff this part up you will probably get a boot loop (i did first time) and then you would have been wishing you backed up
6) Use MarketEnabler and set your market to US T-Mobile
7)put the google wallet application from the zip file from prereq step 1 to /system/apps and set permission to 644. if you dont under stand what the numbers mean google it.
8) go to setting,more and check nfc and under wallet select google
9) reboot
10)make sure you clear all goolge wallet ap data and uninstall any previous versions of google wallet
11) install the app you have just put in /system/apps
12) open the app
14) after you get google wallet to work then launch root explorer
15) go to /system and rename the build.prop to build.prop.ori
16) rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
17) the last 3 steps will stop your phone from thinking its a Galaxy Nexus
18) reboot
Done!
Notes This is not required for the app but usefull. Boot to recovery enabled. use X-Parts from the play store and also install doomrecovery based on clockworkmod recovery on sony xperia s. I wouldnt find the [Xperia S] DooMKernel (v01) on that site and ended up getting version 4 from another page. also if you run version 4 dont install the modules. you don't need to and when i did it messed up my wifi.
Note: for DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) i couldn't boot into recovery for some reason which is a pain in the ass but the above works.
I would add links if i could but i am new to xda
My problem
The app works fine and I have my kiwibank visa debit card loaded onto it (which is a new zealand visa debit card). I went into countdown (a supermarket if your not in new zealand which supports contactless payments) . I put my phone up the the terminal and my phone vibrates and says processing the eftpos machine says processing then my phone and the machine say declined. Not because i am poor . Then the eftpos machine says please contact your bank.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
does the card loaded onto my google wallet account have to support contactless payment?
my speculation is that kiwibank dont support visa paywave only mastercard paypass and i dont have a mastercard paypass card, so i am thinking that i might need to enable contactless payment with my bank account.

This took AGES! to work for me. it was sitting on "Setting up Wallet for purchases" for maybe 5 to 10 minutes but it eventually worked !
just wait, then wait some more. I have got it fully working twice just to give you some confidence and i live in new zealand.
Google check what country the card is registered in, or so I am lead to believe by other posts. If the card is from an unsupported country it wont work. If NZ is an unsupported country this would tend to seem like that the country check is not an issue now, as you got as far as attempting payment.

Nice with a thread for this.
Worth mentioning perhaps:
Widgets does not work (will FC if you try to add one)
A longpress (for adding/moving icons) while the device is in landscape orientation will make the orientation do a barrel roll. Put the device in portrait mode while moving stuff about to avoid this.

Very cool as an experiment. However, I continue to recommend to people who want an "Android-esque" experience on their HDX that they:
* Install Vire Launcher from 1mobile.com, since it allows a limited number of wallpapers (built into the launcher itself), rather than just having a black background.....and since it also has clock widgets
* Install the new Google Search, without Play Services, and put a Google Icon on their home screen. This allows you to use Google Voice Searches, with the exception of NOW cards, as with any other Android tablet. You can even get the "OK Google" hot voice command to work.

This sounds great! Just to clarify, does this mean we can use Google Play Store to install apps and games? Or do we have to side load them? Sorry for the noob question.

Nope, still need to sideload apps. Google Play Store will require root which has not been achieved yet.

TWRP is not a option if your device is running FireOS 14.3.2.8 or above.
Safestrap v4 can be installed on (rooted) FireOS v4.5.2 and v4.5.5.1. Will not work on versions below or between. Two custom roms are compatible with Safestrap v4: Nexus v4 and CM11. See links for relevant discussion. Key points:
- never perform a stock 'factory reset' with Safestrap installed; brick is likely
- always flash roms to the STOCK slot with Safestrap v4 (replaces FireOS)
- never create or populate secondary slots (contrary to most youtube video guidance; just don't)
- always keep a copy of the rom installation zip on device (root of sdcard) for recovery purposes
- read what needs to be done, understand it and ask questions if needed
- there are many good summaries in the threads but no 'sticky' guide or how-to video. Gota read ...

My wife's phone...
Anyone know why she should be getting this message for the likes of Google chrome, drive, play books, search, etc, etc... clearly, it can't be true!
I have her bootloader unlocked, rooted, running xposed with a couple of modules, and a tweaked kernel (ziddey's USB-OTG tweak).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't get any of these apps to update!

Possibly need to update Google services , that said I have never came across or seen anyone come across this problem.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, I'm completely baffled. No one else with ziddey's kernel tweak is complaining about this, so I'm hesitant to suspect it.
Cleared cache and dalvick, fixed permissions, cleared data on the play market and vpn'd into the US, still same problem.
I'm not sure how I would update Google services... isn't that something that would update automatically?

No it will not auto update, but it will usually prompt you once you update an app that needs it... there will be a "Security Update required" notification in the drop-down, if you swipe it away or don't allow it to update, Android will gladly let you but your apps will not function properly that require the update. The current version installed can be found in Settings-Apps-All- Google Play Services and should be 4.3.25 (1117461-036) as of this posting
It will also not allow you to search or find it in your Apps list in the Play Store without the direct link, so here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
Hope that helps, because otherwise a factory default might be in order, and if the problem still persists, reflashing stock images could be required.

I guess I'll have to flash back to stock - no idea why this is still happening...
I tried sideloading the latest Google Play Services, it worked, but still the "you're device isn't compatible..." error appears for many apps. Then I tried deleting accounts, clearing cache and dalvick, fixing permissions, then re-adding accounts. Same. Then I tried sideloading the latest updates of a couple of google apps (books and drive) - it worked, but still the error message in the Play Store.
Oh well. I guess that's that.
Did you modify the screen resolution? if so that could be why you are receiving that error. I experienced that with my Galaxy Nexus. If you keep resolution stock it shouldn't display that message unless for whatever reason the app truly isn't compatible with the phone.
Ive had this issie with certain apps that i KNOW are compatible with my phone. Whenever i get this error, i just use an alternate source, like blackmart, or googling the app you want to download and download it from somewhere besides google play.
Then again, since you are running a lot of custom things, you may want to try starting over from stock, not customizing anything, then try downloading those apps and seeing if your still getting that error.
Thanks, but the apps most definitely are compatible with the phone. They're Google apps on a nexus phone! And they're already installed (either stock or via the market, with no errors).
I'm aware that I can sideload the apps and have done do so successfully with a couple of them, but that really defeats the convenience of automatic updates, especially seeing as it's my wife's phone.
I will, when I have time, try factory restoring or flashing stock and going from there. The mods I'm using are fairly minor, but I suppose something, somewhere must have gotten screwed up.
Oh well, thanks for all the help anyway.

If your rooted, download lucky patcher, and theres an option to download a modded google play store. Have no idea if this will help with your issue, but its just an idea if wanna wanna give it a shot.

He already has the apps installed, that's not the issue, these are even stock Google apps saying they are incompatible after successfully installed. Unfortunately this is probably a wipe and reinstall situation now.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
or he should watch at the build.prop or there is something edited or need to wipe data from google playstore or there is some xposed module which is causing it I don't know but if you edited a lot on that custom rom with kernel and like that backup it first don't go immediately to stock or else it was just wasted time for you. It could also be your dpi but I don't think that's it also wipe cache in recovery that might work.
I'm sure this will work for you.
Open Settings app → Tap on Apps → Look for the Google Play Store and tap on it → Press on three-dots at the right corner and Tap on Uninstall updates → Tap on Ok to confirm
That's it!

Master necromancer!
I keep finding that my NP has rebooted itself into custom recovery TWRP.
My suspicion is that it's automatically attempting to apply the last security update and finding the custom recovery and therefore failing. This ultimately means it's rarely available to cast to and always has to be rebooted or unplugged so that it's restarted prior to any intended use - which as you can imagine is extremely frustrating.
My device is rooted running latest 5.1.1 with custom recovery.
How can I manually disable this ota application? Anyone know of any build.prop amendments or can i side load servicely and do anything....
Cheers

I second the aforementioned question. Want to know the exact same thing. Currently running LolliRock 2.1 but considering going stock, rooted, and Xposed route possibly under 5.0 to keep the 3 dot menu support but wanted to disable OTA.

Download an app called autostarts and I forgot where it is the app but something to do with otaupdate you disable, Google what I explained xD sorry its been a while wince I did it
Best way I found is, just after you setup your NP, go on google and change your gmail password. That way your NP won't have connection with Google Play... but this has cons as well, as you won't have access to update/install new apps from google play, so only do this after you have setup your NP with all the apps you need.
Apologies, found a solution in another NP thread and forgot to post the answer.
I'm still on v5.1.1
See below, although as you read

Yes. Sideload the "My Android Tools" app which is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=en. After it's installed on your Nexus Player, open and configure it as shown here by using a mouse but you will need root access for this to work.

Unfortunately this also stops your applications from being able to update.
When updated through play they said 'install pending' when I re enabled the above services they updated.

I haven't encountered any issues with updating apps on my Nexus Player with Android 6.0 or my Nexus 5 with Android 5.1 after disabling SystemUpdateService through the My Android Tools app. The method I described has worked perfectly on both of my devices.
Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) wifi-only model and want to install printoid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.yochi76.printoid.phones.trial) on it. But the Google play store keeps telling me my device isn't compatible... I don't understand why.
I have an even older tablet (galaxy tab 1 7") where its working without issues, a bit slow though. And I know the developer of the application also has the same Nexus model and can install it without any problems. I installed the APK by sideloading it, runs without any problems, just can't download it from the store.
Some facts
Google Play services = version 11.7.44
Google Play store = version 8.4.18.V-all
Tried Android 5.1.1 (XenonHD ROM) and my device is rooted
Tried the stock rom 5.1.1, even un-rooted and locked it
Tried lineageOS 7.1
What could be causing this?
Probably the developer himself has forbidden the installation of the application on this device. Either in the application manifest contains the necessary (not optional) permissions, because of which the device was automatically excluded from the list of devices. I also from time to time come across applications (even from Google) that can not be installed with Google Play. But nevertheless, they work fine if you manually install the apk.
Just use https://apkpure.com/ for such cases.
Thanks @gmikhail, didnt know the apkpure site, handy. I had contact with the developer and he has the same device. He can install without any problems, which makes it even more strange.
Rather use it from the play store, makes updating easier.
@nosmo-king The app is not available for me too. So the problem is exactly on the developer's side. Let it go to the device list and manually recheck device.
In Google Play Console -> Select app -> Release Management -> Device Catalog -> Find Nexus 7 2012. There should be written why the device is not supported.
PS: apkpure supports auto-update.
Good to know I am not the only one, thanks for checking.
I replied to the developer, I hope he can do something...
Good to know about apkpure, unfortunately the PRO version is not available. Probably because its not free
