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
Hello,
I just received my new GS4 last night. Google Now crashes repeatedly. It will run OK if I don't add a sports team or a stock ticker but once I "customize" it, it will crash every time I start it.
The error message is "Unfortunately, Google Search Has Stopped".
I have cleared data and then I go through the opt-in process. It will run fine but as mentioned as soon as I change a setting, it will crash and then crash every time after that.
It's Google Search 2.4.10. I can't update it via the Play Store since it's a built-in app. Software version is L720VPUAMDC.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erick

Google search is updated via the Google Play store. That's where I always get the notification to update. Sometimes it is a manual update. Check there for an update. Google Play > Menu Button > My Apps > See if it has an update available.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had checked that option and there was nothing. I checked the version number there 2.4.10 and that appears to be the most current build.
I just wiped my phone this morning (factory reset from recovery) and signed in. I did nothing else, didn't install any apps, nothing. Went to Google Now, added a sports team and the app crashed as I backed out of the screens. If I press the google button (to the left of the search bar) on the home screen, it hangs. Sometimes it comes up for a sec and then disappears but most of the time I get the "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped".
This is really odd. I would be very surprised if I am the only user having this issue

Although my sports teams setup in Google Now carried over from my GS3, I decided to try adding another team. I was successful in adding one and backing out of the app without it crashing. I also hit the google button and still didn't have an issue. Not sure what's going on with yours, unfortunately. I'm running 100% stock MDC Android that came on the phone out of the box one week ago.

I have not tried this but I have read of others apparently solving this issue but uninstalling Google Search using Titanium Backup (requires root) then re-installing via Google Play.

Thanks. I saw that too. My only concern was if I should just bring it into the Sprint store first for them to have a look at it. I was worried that if I went the root route to correct it (and I do intend to root anyways), if that didn't correct the problem, then I would need to bring it into the store for them to look at.
Will the restore OS/Wipe Disk option (from stock recovery) bring it back to 100% "original" in case I needed to take it in?
Thanks for the reply. I may just go that route
Unfortunately, Google search has stopped... followup
Did you go with the Titanium backup route an deleted the Google Search app (actually, as I understand it, from the actual ROM... not only as a regular installed app) and re-installed from the Play Store? if so, what are the results?
Both my N4 and my N7 started showing "Unfortunately, Google search has stopped" messages after I edited one sports card in Google Now. Since its happening in both devices it is clearly either an app related issue, a Google related issue or something in between but, definitely NOT a hardware issue...
Your comments are welcome, thanks in advance.

I tested with a friend who got the GS4 last week from Sprint also. I walked him through all of the steps and his search application did not hang at all after adding a sports team or stock ticker. He was on firmware version MDL.
I took it to the Sprint store (even though I bought it from Costco) and they agreed 100% that something was wrong with it. They didn't want to work on it since I just got it from Costco. They said to just take it back since it's so new.
This morning, I received the MDL update. I applied it but unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem
I called Wireless Advocates this morning (the company that sells for Costco) and they suggested that I go back to the store to return it (even though their instructions that arrived with the phone specifically says Do Not Return To Costco In Case Of A Problem.
So, I'm kind of at a loss. If I root it and try to Titanium to delete it, I'm worried that I will lose any recourse with Costco. Once it's rooted, I am out on my own. I am thinking that I will try and return it tonight and if I am unsuccessful, then I will root it and delete the app.
Well, to be honest with you... as annoying and pissing it is to have the "Unfortunately Google Search Has Stopped" problem and Google Now not working properly on its last update, the problem seems not to be as bad to return your shiny new phone to Costco or where you bought it.
This is actually a software problem that Google should be fixing very soon and releasing an update to do so. Bear in mind, also that this very week Google I/O conference will take place in San Francisco and most probably they will release a new Android version 4.3 or 5.... which should include most probably a fix to this.
In the meantime, go to your Play Store, search fo "Google Search" and un-install all upgrade to this app, also disable auto-updates for this app and that should work. I have done it and it is OK (not the latest Google Now..but it works, at least doesn't crash).
During the lifetime of your phone you will encounter bugs in software, as long as they are repaired quickly and there are not impeding the usage of the phone and its critical functions, those are not reasons to return it. My 2 cents.
Good luck.

Thanks Piensa. I appreciate your detailed response.
I am right there with you. I can deal with it as long as I know that it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. The more and more I have been reading (and your reply also) indicates that it is a software issue. The weird part is why my friend's Sprint GS4 doesn't have this problem and the Sprint Store also said that it was a definite bug. That's the part I don't get. Why does his Google Search work and mine is crashing?
Good point about Google I/O (excited to see what they announce this week) and maybe an update will be released. Unfortunately, the version of Google Now included with the GS4 is the very latest (ver 2.4.10.626027) and I am unable to back out any updates (thanks for the suggestion).
I guess I will ride it out this week and see what comes out of Google I/O.
Question. Do you know if I root the phone without installing a custom recovery, can I back it out simply by factory resetting the phone and will Costco/Sprint know that it was rooted at one point?
Thanks again for your help.
Thanks for your comment.
Well, we are all here to help each other...that's the beauty of the Internet !
It seems to my that because of your phone's use pattern the bug got hit and appeared... your friend may not be enjoying his phone as you are...so, no bugs have appeared. Or, he may not have the latest version of Google Search (so he is using an outdated phone!
Pretty much the same happened to me... since few days ago, my Google Now worked perfectly, actually I had no sports card...suddenly, I wanted to check what the heck people was watching on public TV (a sports event) in a restaurant I went to...so I asked Google Now to search..and it came with the names of the playing teams...and decided to add them as my favorite sports in the sports card....everything went down from there when I tried deleting those "favorite teams" from the sports card...everything Google Now started crashing.....
On the other hand, my wife's smartphone, another Android, still works flawlessly... no crashing of G-Now, no weird messages...and she has the exact same Android version as I do.... so, well, we both got lucky finding that SOFTWARE bug.... let us hope that Google will fix it very soon. There are MANY people experiencing this annoyance so, I am confident Google will not let it pass too long...(I understand they may be a little busy with their 2013 I/O event...so, I can wait a few days....).
Again, just downgrade to a previous version of Google Search, by deleting the upgrades of it in the Play Store and don't let it self upgrade Google Searh, for now... if you do that, you will be fine.

I can't back out any updates as there have been none to Google Search. The GS4 ships with the most current. The only option for Google Search in the Play Store is "open".
I can uninstall updates to Gmail, etc but not Google Search (see attached pic).
Thanks for your assistance.
"Unfortunately Google Search Has Stopped
Woow. you are correct.
The version of Google Search that your GS4 came with, from factory, is in fact the latest one. My Nexus 4 came with a previous version installed thus I was able to do the downgrade.
So, if you are not rooted, and/or do not want to mess with your firmware, seems you have to wait for Google to fix this issue. Sorry to learn that friend.
Lets hope it gets fixed very soon.

Yup. I'm trying to decide what to do now. I went to Costco tonight to look into swapping it out for a new one and they don't carry Sprint products in store. So I would either need to work with Wireless Advocates to ship it back and pay $600 for an advance replacement or just wait it out, hoping that the phone itself is fine and wait for Google to correct it.
If I was still on MDC, I would have used motochopper to root it, uninstall Google Search and then test re-installing it to see if it corrects it. But the MDL upgrade today killed that option.
I think I will wait a couple days, see what comes out of I/O as well as the root exploits for MDL and make a decision. It just sucks because I don't want to spend time customizing the phone to my liking in case I swap it out or wipe it, etc.
Again, many thanks for your help.

Thanks. I wish that information like this was more readily available. I have been wiping my phone, making trips to Costco, Sprint, etc and still haven't customized my phone because of this. I thought that my phone was defective but had I seen this, I wouldn't have worried about it and just waited it out.
Thanks.
And it's fixed! (at least it is on my phone).
Google released an update to Google Search today and I can add/remove sports teams and stock tickers w/o a problem!
Many thanks again to the contributors to this thread.

It worked for me! Thanks!! (GS4 - Hyperdrive v10.1)
I've been searching for the past 24 hours (almost non-stop) for a way to make Google Wallet work on my phone. And I still haven't been able to find one for the Nexus 4. Other devices, I have... but I don't know if those will work (i.e. GS4 fix will work on N4?).
I'm currently running Illusion v2 Beta. And every time I try to just open up GW to set it up... I get this screen (attached image).
Before I rooted and everything, it was running perfectly. I've uninstalled it. Reinstalled. Cleared data/cache. Tried on WiFi and on Mobile Data... and still nothing works.
So how do I get Google Wallet to work on my phone?

Have you tried uninstalling it and using Mocados mod? You can find it here: http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-xmod-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet/
When using Google wallet and changing ROMs you have to reset wallet before you change, read more about it in the link, its an Xposed mod.

I have. And not even that worked for me.
Three things to note:
1) Are you near Salt Lake City? T-Mobile issues ISIS SIM cards in Salt Lake City and Austin (beta test market) which are known to conflict with Google Wallet. You will need a NON ISIS SIM card for Google Wallet.
2) Rev 11 phones had a known issue (like mine), which required contacting Google with a debug log. Within a week or two, they will fix the Secure Element initialization issue on their backend.
3) The latest market version has had issues for some with custom (rooted) ROM's. Try an older APK, or stock ROM.

I am in Salt Lake City, but my sim card doesn't say ISIS... which I think they always do? Mine doesn't say anything.
I'll try and find an older Wallet apk and see if that helps.
If not, guess I'll be submitting a bug report to Google.
Thanks for the info.

I am in Salt Lake City, but my sim card doesn't say ISIS... which I think they always do? Mine doesn't say anything.
I'll try and find an older Wallet apk and see if that helps.
If not, guess I'll be submitting a bug report to Google.
Thanks for the info.

That still didn't work.
How do I go about submitting a bug to Google about this? Do I have to do it from the phone?

This applies to stock Android, as Google has no way to fix an issue in a third party ROM. If you flash back to stock 4.2.2 and still have the issue, then this is the process Google sent to me:
1. On your phone/tablet go into Settings, About Phone, tap "Build Number" seven times. Developer options will then appear in Settings.
2. Go into Developer Options and enable Developer Options (ON/OFF switch at the top), then enable "USB Debugging" (near the bottom of the screen).
3. Nexus devices: Press and hold volume down + and volume up buttons. Now also press and hold power button until you can feel the phone vibrate.
4. In about 20 seconds, you'll get a double buzz. A Gmail message dialog should appear. Please email the bug report to yourself and then attach it to your email and send it off to [email protected]
Maybe its the ROM your running? I have actually switched between ROMs and have never reset my Google wallet. It just always works .

I've thought about that. Just haven't felt like switching... because I'm lazy like that. Haha.
But if a fix doesn't come up in the next day or so... I wont have a choice.
Had the same problem a month ago. As stated in the earlier post you got to call Google and send the log cat. They walked me through it over the phone took about a week for them to fix it and then they gave me a 20 dollar play store credit. Still spending that 20 dollars about 8 dollars left to buy more apps.
I couldn't get google wallet to work for like a month. i try today after seeing this post and it works. crazy.
I did call google in the past and they asked for the log but i never sent it.
I'm familiar with the reasons why Google wallet tap and pay hasn't worked for the Note 3 in the past, due to the particular NFC hardware used, but there were rumors floating around that the needed drivers would be added for the 4.4.3 update. Here we are, post 4.4.4 update, and we still cannot use tap and pay.
Who is still holding this up and why? Will this EVER work for us? Dies anyone have any new information on this?
Thanks

I think he is mistaken but I chatted with someone at google today about that very subject. His response was that Wallet tap and pay should work fine with my VZW Note 3 without my having to do anything other than turn on NFC at the checkout since I have updated to Kitkat 4.4.4. So either their customer service folks are being fed bad information or the carrier is totally lying to us or it really does work but I won't know until I go someplace that accepts it and try it. I'm sure gonna feel stupid standing in that line tapping my phone on that panel and nuthin' happening.
I admit, I haven't actually tried it, but that's because I'm sure it won't work. We don't have the specific "tap to pay" section in the os settings menu, therefore, how could I possibly toggle payment methods between "Softcard" and Google wallet? and I know from previous phones that Google wallet must say "tap to pay ready" somewhere. Not to mention, it still says Note 3 does not support tap to pay on the Google Wallet support page.
Anybody else have any experience with Google or Samsung support regarding this issue?
Noticed after installing Nougat on my Verizon S7 Edge that the files listed for the Note 7 workaround are now available. Only problem is, using quick shortcut maker doesn't seem to work as it had with Note 7. Makes the shortcuts fine, but obviously they don't work.
Also checked sammobile for the cloud apk file. was from 3 months ago, downloaded and tried to install. Upon doing that, phone said it was an update to my current program. Then said it could not install. Which leads me to believe we have the correct files, but Verizon still has it locked down?!?!
So my question is, has anyone found a workaround yet? Or does this mean that Verizon is "considering" giving us Samsung Cloud finally?
Verizon removed it completely.
Thanks for the quick response. I was just surprised to see all the files available to use the shortcut maker on. Guess I was kinda hoping that Verizon would finally step up and give us Samsung Cloud. Oh well.
Verizon will never allow for a service like that, because they don't make extra money off it.
I'm still surprised that they haven't figured out a way to prevent Google Maps from working on their network as well, so they can force everybody to use the for-pay VZ Navigator.

That she would be my last day with Verizon and probably a class action lawsuits like they did to cable providers over forcing cable boxes.
