[Q] Hello all. New again to Android with questions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello all. Im new again to the world of Android. My last Android phone was the HTC EVO with Sprint. I left Sprint and went to ATT for the iPhone. I have left Apple and came back to Android. I look back and ask myself why I left Android. I don't have an answer for you.
I have a few questions and I apologize if they have been posted before but I cant seem to find a clear answer using search on the forum or on google. Perhaps my means of searching suck. That could be 100% true.
So I have the S4 with ATT MF3 build rooted. I have been looking into getting google wallet so I can use it to pay for my things in the stores. I have seen some methods for the rooted phones but the dates are older and they don't seem to work. I don't know if there is a way for me to get google wallet to work. I would love to know. I have tried one method i found on the internet but nothing seemed to work.
When I open google wallet I get this message: Insufficient Privileges. Insufficient secure element privileges for this system images (release-keys).
I dont know what to do or if there is anything that I can do. Please help me find a method or direct me in a way I can find one that will work.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Questions should go to the q&a section. But you should look in to safestrap and install a custom ROM with Google wallerlt already working.

I have looked for a custom rom but I haven't seem to find anything. Now I could be overlooking from looking to much. I feel that my searching has come up with nothing. I think I have searched to much.

Search "safestrap i337 xda"

Read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q&A sections. In those threads, you will find a list of ROMs that are available as well as a lot of information you need to know.

When I'm using the xda app via phone I don't see pinned threads. So if he is using the xda app instead of web browser he'll have a harder time looking for it if he doesn't know what he's searching.

Then he needs to wait until he has access to a PC or laptop. How is he supposed to get "wallet" on his phone without a PC or laptop anyway?

I flashed Roms without the use of my PC before, using safestrap. Takes awhile to download but it gets the job done. I just flashed mj6 but had to use laptop for that.

On my GS3, all I had to do was edit a couple values in my build.prop with ones from a Nexus. Then install Wallet, let it setup, and after your cards are saved, change back your build.prop.
This process may be different for a GS4. Though I don't see why. It only requires that you have root.

Camera and force stops with the sports option

Not sure what happened to my last thread, but I was given really detailed info on how to fix my camera and it was gone before I had the time to take advantage of it Nothing like wasting the time of those willing to help you. Hopefully I just couldn't find it, but I checked my subscribed threads and nothing was there.
If you have recovery installed, you can install one of the kernels in the development forum. They have the camera fixes built in.

I don't know squat about any of this, which is why I didn't just use the instructions people had already given in other threads. They use terminology I don't understand and assume you know what they are talking about when they say use this kernel or that one (or whatever). I just checked and somehow I'm not subscribed to this thread as well. Maybe the other one is still here... I have never been on a forum where you weren't automatically subscribed to your own threads.
Ah.. well I found your thread lol. I'm using xda app so don't know if it'll link right, if not just copy and paste.

[Q] Google Edition 4.2.2 Battery Percentage Mod

Hello All,
I have been using an old release of the Google Edition Port for my sprint s4. All has been mostly great.
I wanted to flash a mod to show my battery percentage but cant seem to find it.
I have been looking endlessly for a mod to get the CM10.1 battery percentage icon, someone posted it on the Google Port thread, but I cant find it on my own.
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but you should really post this on the google edition thread rather than making a whole new thread for it.
Also, there's a search bar in every thread. Try and search for it in the thread rather than using the general search bar.

Sorry guys
New to the forums. Tried posting on the actual Google edition thread but said I wasn't authorized because Im a new user and it stated that I can only post in q and a section.
Also used the search function on a ton of threads and didn't find what I was looking for. Which lead me here.

2.Can I root device and than unroot it without any trace to keep my warranty?
3. And can I flash another ROM, Mods etc. and than go back to stock without a trace to keep my warranty?
What's stopping you from reading and getting your answer instead of posting something that's been posted like 10 times already?

Isn't Q&A section is for questions? If you don't want to help just don't write at all...
For me simple yes or no for my questions will be ok, so I don't have to dig thru all threads, I don't need instructions I can find them myself, but if somebody give me those answers I will know what to look for exacly, and will know that it make sense to look for it
The problem is you are littering the forum with a redundant question and then rules state to READ AND SEARCH BEFORE STARTING A NEW THREAD.

It would help to know what firmware you're on. Then we could point you in the right direction.

Read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. Make sure you follow the linked posts in those threads for important information you need. After you finish reading them, you should have a good foundation to get you started. Good luck.
This is not a make my phone cool site. If your not willing to put in the time to research your better off stock

There's plenty of places that you can get started in such as xBeerdroiD's "Ultimate Guide" that you can read to get started. However, as others have stated... posting your phones information such as model, baseband,etc would greatly increase your chance of getting a helpful reply outside of general assumptions.

I have to agree with the above. This isn't even the right place to ask a QUESTION. Second, just duo a quick search, if not in xda, art least Google. He can get the answers.

This phone is so popular, so fast, people are just jumping in wanting to root and Rom , etc. without even doing a Google search. Look at the Cloudy G3 thread. It's been cleaned up a million times from the same questions and same remarks.
Just my opinion. Everyone is allowed to have one. No one has to like it.
