Google Wallet Being Blocked On Custom Roms?

After having google wallet working flawlessly on NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 I decided to try the ICS roms that were available. Everytime I went to set my account back up I would get the message "Error adding Card". So I went back to my backup of NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 where it originally worked. So when I went to wallet it gave me a message saying that my bank had removed my card and to call this number. The man I talked to at google basically informed me that wallet doesn't support custom roms. It goes by the original stock rom ( even though NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 wasn't stock) and the google wallet app knows its on something else. Here is the letter I received from google:
Hi Ronald,

Maybe this is old news to some but I didn't know this. So it looks like google wallet is pretty much useless unless you stay with the same rom? It seems to me though I have seen people post that they signed back in to there original accounts fine after flashing and had there balance still there. Anyone have any idea of a way around this and have gotten there wallet working after flashing from one rom to another?

there is a thread explaining how to get it to work with icc in the themes and apps section...it works for me on ics no problems at all

I've been using Wallet on Bugless Beast GPA19 for some time now without issue, but from the reports I have read from other users, it can be very finicky. It seems that it has to be installed or baked into a ROM with clean data (at least to start). Some folks will get the Market updates for Wallet and others won't. If your device won't update from the Market and you try to manually update to the latest version of Wallet, it can cause Wallet to stop functioning. I actually had this happen to me and I needed to restore a Nandroid to get it working again.

[Q] Google Wallet

Hello All!
I just bought a AT&T HTC One X a few hours ago and noticed I cannot download Google Wallet. I know the One X is NFC enabled so why can't I download it?
Thanks!

Because AT&T won't allow it, and even if you got the APK installed from another source it wouldn't work for the same reason. AT&T is partnering on a different product called Isis.

It is "not available for this device"...
ATT/HTC has disabled Google Wallet on the One X for now :-(. And as far as I know there is no way currently to enable it. NFC does work however Google Wallet does not.

Hell of this is all it is then let's hope for a bootloader unlock to flash a custom ROM. With a few tweaks to the stock ROM it can work.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I resurrected this one.
Google Wallet was blocked on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, but there was a simple work around. This one seems to be more difficult.
What kind of work needs to be done to get it working? For anyone who hasn't installed it on their phone, you'll get this error:
Insufficient privileges secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys).
I mean, is this something as simple to fix as flashing an AOSP ROM? It only references the system image. Does anyone know if it reads the device ID or anything?

Google Wallet Update-Still no Verizon, but closer?

http://officialandroid.blogspot.com/2012/08/use-any-credit-or-debit-card-with.html
Still not available for Verizon. But, Google Wallet no longer stores the information in the secure element of the physical phone, but stores it on their servers instead.
Also, it's now available for most credit cards.
Is this going to make it easier for someone to hack it on to our Verizon phones?
Can anyone get a copy of the .apk and see what happens if you just try to sideload?

It gives the usual "blah blah google wallet is not yet supported on your network" its really sad that verizon can block it.

I downloaded the updated google wallet from the play store on my Verizon GS3 and it still says "Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
I haven't tried the original google wallet trick but I wonder if that could work with the new update.

If Verizon is going to block it, fine, but at least have a solution for us. I don't really care what payment provider gets the money. I just want to be able to use my phone to make purchases.

Do a little research. I have the verizon sgs3 and was able to get google wallet working.

So you are confirming that the previous method works with the new Google Wallet app released today?
Did you even read this thread? Google Wallet was completely revamped today.

Most likely not. I'm sure he's a tool referring to the non-updated GW and making snark tough guy remarks while simultaneously not reading.

I have a guide I made to get the latest one to work.

His guide works great, even to update if you already have used Modaco's file to install originally.

Just saying to others, my guide DOES work. If you did something else to use wallet and claim afterwards its broken. Not on me. I have heard from others that updating works too. So this is a confirmed addition to my guide.

Google wallet

I don't know much about Nfc stuff but think I want to setup Google wallet. Is there a apk file we can run or a zip to flash to get Google wallet? Or is it even a app like I side I don't know a lot about it.

No APK that I know of. It's actually a really easy fix though. I was a little uneasy doing it but once I went through the process it was easy.

I did the wallet fix yesterday and I had lunch at McDonalds thanks to Google. Read the post and follow the directions as described. Good luck!

Awesome... Thanks guys

Wallet problem
Greetings everyone!
A little background first. Verizon SGS3, rooted and unlocked, but still on stock TW.
I completed the steps in the above mentioned thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083, and everything seems to be working ok. I have made a few purchases and it works, however I am thinking something is wrong.
Let me explain. When I go to make a purchase, it will make the POS machine flash/beep, etc., but then shows on my screen that the trans. may not be good/complete. The cashier continues the sale like normal, the receipt prints and all is good, but it just takes a min standing in line to make sure that all is well. Then after a while, the trans will show up in Wallet (on the phone) in the list.
Is this normal for you all?
Second thing is that I can't see my Google PrePay card in the online Wallet page. I can see the other cards that I have added in both places, phone and online, but I can't manage the new card that was given when I signed up. Therefore, I am stuck adding funds on the phone.
Should I do a reset? Will this lose the $ that I have added to the PrePay card, or will it magically pick it back up when I re-setup Wallet on the phone? I have read that I need to write down the card number (user ID) in case you need it, and I assume that this is one of those times.
Any ideas?
TIA for the help.

I'm not seeing it either unfortunately. I was just getting ready to try the workaround & then saw your post. Oh well, guess I'll still try the workaround.
Is it possibly just a regional thing? I read somewhere that they were getting ready to roll out ISIS in a couple of markets soon - is it possible that they unblocked Wallet in those markets to avoid the 'how do you justify blocking wallet as a security concern if you're now allowing ISIS' question?
Dunno.

There is a post in the general area about it thats where I heard it from but here is the link. When I go to the link it knows I have it installed properly it may take a bit before our S3's see it...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
it does say it's not available on my carrier for everything but my S3 thats where it's installed the XDA way. but thats funny because my tablet is WI-Fi only so it should be able to install it to my tab...Check the general section...

[Q] Restoring Apps from Play Store

To make a long story short, my first skyrocket's sleep/wake button broke and so I called AT&T and it was still under warranty. They sent me a replacement skyrocket and now I'm just trying to restore my play store apps on the new skyrocket as I had my first skyrocket back up all my apps to my Google Account.
The problem is that on the Play Store, my first and second skyrocket are showing up as completely different devices:
Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 (first skyrocket)
AT&T Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 (replacement skyrocket)
My first skyrocket did have a custom ROM on it when the button broke and the replacement skyrocket is still on stock, so is that the reason why the Play Store recognizes them as separate devices?
Will I have to install a custom ROM on the replacement skyrocket for them to be recognized as the same device again?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your Google account will govern. If it's the same account it doesn't make a difference if they're different devices. Are you logging in on the same Google account?

Yes, I'm logging on the same Google account. The last time I restored my apps from Play Store, as soon as I logged into my Google account on my skyrocket, the download list was automatically populated with apps that were previously installed on my phone.
I'm wondering why it won't do the same now?

I'd just reinstall the apps and not worry why it's not restoring. The last back up Google did might not have had all the apps you thought it should.

It's finicky, and it doesn't matter. Just download all your apps again

It won't be recognized as the same device because it isn't . You can go in your Google account and hide your old one so it won't come up as an option though.
Also you can see a history of installed apps, just use that from a pc and start installing away.
I didn't choose the Droid life, The Droid life choose me..

I appreciate all of your input. Thanks a bunch. If I still can't get my apps to restore I'll manually do it.
But I wonder if this is because my first skyrocket was on superlite cm10 jb when it broke and now this skyrocket is on stock ics. Any possibility that flashing the new skyrocket to that same custom ROM (which I plan to do later) make it recognize it as the same device and allow me to restore? Just throwing this possibility out there.

No. Play store uses your imei I do beleave.

No, the device id is unique and independent from the rom.

Ah dangit. So tedious, but I guess I can't complain. Thanks again for all your help!

The Rom had nothing to do with it.
