[Q] Tags .apk missing after fastboot flash 4.0.4 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I recently flashed stock build 4.0.4 IMM76D via fastboot.. I had been having troubles with my NFC after messing around with Google wallet (cwm zip install method) on 4.0.3...
Now I noticed that the Google tags app doesn't show up in my apps list (although it is in system/app...when I click on it in astro, it asked me to install, I say yes, it fails...).
Is this normal? I'm trying to get back to a perfectly working, stable, up to date system before I mess things up further
Is anyone running 4.0.4 able to run the tags app?

I think they depreciated it so it doesn't work anymore

So does 4.0.4 have any NFC capabilities? I'm not able to share/beam info over NFC anymore..

I think I used to have the Tags app, and I remember having my contact on the tag to share. However, I had a bit of a problem recently, had to take my phone to the shop to have it repaired and I got it back with 2.3.6. It auto-updated to 4.0.4, but ever since then the Tags app has been missing, so they I think they made some sort of change to the OTA update between the first rollout and last Thursday (when my phone re-updated itself).
And anyway, if it was deprecated, why keep it in the ROM?

Almost certain tags was never a app in the app drawer.

Let's try change the permission of tag.apk to the same as what other .apk apps'

Yes, there is. It was included in the last official OTA the ThunderBolt received. Not only that, it has been updated in the market since the OTA and the update works fine. Added a new animation to the loading arrows.

Yeah if you're rooted and on GB, you do not have a working MyVerizon. Mine won't let me download it from the market.
Maybe I should have been more specific.

yeah you said official so I was just making sure people knew there was an official version for the TBolt. It's actually bloat now with the latest OTA.

Yeah I'm sure once they release the official GB update, MyVerizon will be supported on our ROMs. Kind of sucks because that's how I paid my bill before. Now I have to go online or use the phone system.
Ease of use FAIL!
MyVerizon and GB Roms
I have tested MyVerizon apk on multiple GB roms and the only one that it hasn't worked on is Synergy. This sucks because i have grown to love Synergy Rom the best. I hope they are able to figure out the issue.

I've only been able to get it to work on Sky Raiders latest preview. Everyone has had different experiences I'm sure. I personally will be glad when it works across the board.

anyone have any ideas when their goin to put out a GB version of it, cuz like the guy earlier. thats how i paid my bill, watched my minute usage and such.
The thing I don't like is there is no Family plan support in their app.
Ok guys try this:

It should install no problem, but if you guys have a problem drop the file into system/app folder using root explorer. Once installed reboot then download my Verizon from the market.

I have that, but the app still force closes. Weird thing is, it shows my balance behind the FC warning. It is connecting.
Same thing with verizon video, you can open it and browse videos, but only some videos play.

This is the file that made it work for me on uberbamf the old my Verizon app worked before with out but when the update came it said was missing the login client. This should only work with the latest my Verizon and I also beleive that may have to clear the cache and data on the app.

[Q] How to switch off App update notification?

Ok, So, I have XE Currency 2.06 installed on my phone. Now, Xe, had come up with version 3.01 and then 3.02. I tried them, did not like them and hence went back to 2.06.
The problem I have is that every time I restart my phone I get a notification that an update has been found. Is there anyway to switch off the notification for specific apps?
Thanks

[Q] Extract apk so it never updates.

Hey guys. The title is a little weird but I just wasn't sure how to word it.
Recently beautiful widgets has updated their whole system. And I really don't like the new version at all. Thankfully I had just backed up my rom before I updated it so I just restored it back to what I had.
Here comes the question part. Can I take my currently running beautiful widgets apk (non updated) so that if I ever accidentally update it I can revert back to how I like it. Also if I did this could I install the same apk on my galaxy tab 2 and have it work fine?

-Backup the old apk on your sdcard. Most file managers can do this; otherwise copy it from /data/app.
-Turn off automatic updating for the app.
Sideloading on your Note would be simple, but there's no telling how it would work until you do it.
Titanium can do this too

Wallet on cm 10.1

Anyone get wallet working on cm 10.1?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
There is an app that installs the proper build.prop and the modified apk for you. I believe its under vzw gs3 general
VZW GS3. EXECUTIONER 2.5
I used the app by krazy koder that I believe you are speakering of. No dice. I had this working on another ROM but not now.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Original wallet instructions for cm10 worked fine for me. I used gscript to edit the build.prop and installed the .zip.
Installed but didn't work in store
I downloaded the KrazyKoder installer, got it all set up, and then I went to Macys to use up a gift card I have there. I calibrated my card with Wallet, and I tried doing it. The first couple tries didn't work and then I tried holding it for a couple seconds. It pinged like it worked, and was showing it was processing, but then it said "Unknown status" and the cashier said it didn't go through. Luckily I had my card with me. I don't know if it works for other people but it didn't work for me.
I was running the CM10.1 Mastamoon 1/5 build.
Here is what I got.

thats because youre rooted. mine says that on every rom ive tried and its still worked for me.
When I updated from 10 to 10.1 I tried to install wallet the same way I did before (edit build.prop, flash wallet package) and I encountered problems, but was able to resolve them by disabling the wallet app from the wallet website and then starting again.
Every time I update to a later nightly I have to re-install wallet and I have done it manually as well as using the app, both ways I've encountered issues but at the end of the day they work. Once it gets working your good, the only issues I've had is setting it up and activating.
Sometimes I had to flash it again and sometimes go into root explorer and delete all the files and then start again, but the bottom line is it works
I'm trying top use krazyKoder's wallet install on my rooted SGIII with unlocked bootloader but i am not sure which info to select?
ICS TW ,AOSP,JB TW? I am on Cyanogenmod 10.x
Sorry, I can't find the info anywhere.

Google search not working after update, help

As the title states my Google search is no longer working after the new update. The only way I can get it to work it to clear cache, data, and uninstall updates which will then revert the app to factory form. After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

Same here. Reverted to the previous version and waiting for the update with correction (hopefully),
I just did a phone reset hoping it would solve the issuebut nothing. Google just released a new update and still same problem.

Indeed, the release of 11/21 is no good either.
I have been looking all over the net and can't seem to find any info on this, Google hasn't even acknowledged there is something wrong. Maybe this is only affecting a very small number number of people.

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)
We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:
http://sdrv.ms/18hoDxb
Let me know if any problems.
Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.
