[Q] Downside to installing Google Wallet? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I just got a Verizon S3 about a week ago and got it rooted today. I put CleanROM 4.5 on it also.
So ever since I saw the whole Google wallet idea, I've thought it was really cool. I was wondering, however, if there are any downsides to editing the build.prop so Google recognizes the S3 as a different device? Or other things that may be a downside (security?)
anyway, thanks

None that I know of because after you setup your cards you restore your old build.prop.

Getting the Google Local search back?

Just got my phone today, and apparently the sticker on it that said updated meant that there is no local search due to... Lawsuits? Whatever.
I hate apple now.
Anyhow I've Googled it and can't find how to get this back.
Just articles talking about how it was removed.
Is there a way? Do I flash gapps from cwm recovery?

Does that apply to all phones they make now? I thought it was just the Nexus for a particular period. Now that you mention it though I just got mine today, same sticker and same results. This phone is so loaded and my first Android cell so I feel sorta lost and could be missing a setting.

I am not certain, but from the out of the box get go I was not able to bring any local apps up.
Not even settings, which was just asinine considering I am unfamiliar with touchwiz, and with ICS coming from GB... so I needed to find the settings and did not want to page through the apps.
None of that works, you can only search google on the internet, nothing else.
Same here, but I was wondering if it's a limitation of TouchWiz this is a crazy heavy skin. I'm coming from iPhone so I'm happily lost, I could have missed the setting.
Maybe someone can help me out, I'm running no sympathy VRALG1 however I pulled the googlequicksearchbox.apk(1.4.1.338691) from the nosymapthy VRALF2 , I can install it and my local search works great, until I reboot and then it doesn't work and the installed version of googlequicksearchbox.apk is back to version 1.4.1.396604. How do I stop it from upgrading or changing?

Yeah I figured it out myself, I just completely deleted it off my phone from titanium and then reinstalled the old version rebooted several times and it's still working.

Google Wallet

Has anyone been able to get the cracked google wallet to work on the skyrocket.
The cracked one can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810282
Holy balls how many of these threads do I have to kill in a week there is no secure element our phone cannot store the card nor pass the encrypted data to Google's cloud it will not work until at&t gives us a secure element sim

You don't need a secure element to run Google Wallet. They have re done it to work without it. Many people are running it on different phones with out the secure element.
He is asking a valid question, if the modified apk is able to run on the skyrocket.
So far it depends some people on other sites report it working and others not.

Thread locked. First off wrong section second I did a quick search of wallet and saw 8-10 post relevant to this, why make a new thread?

Samsung Apps

I was wondering if I install CM10, is there a way to install some of the Samsung android apps back onto my device? Apps such as S memo and the Samsung Calendar?
No
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I sae in another thread that s-memo will work, forget which one but at least one other person said so as well and the person who posted it worked seemed to have an idea of what they were talking about.
So maybe just install them one at a time and see which ones work and which don't.

[Q] DROID RAZR HD - Google Wallet

Does anyone have a way to get Google Wallet on this device? I've tried downloading a modified .apk, moving ot to the /system/apps folder and rewriting the permissions, but I always get an "Application Not Installed" error with no explanation as to why. I'm rooted and willing to go to a new ROM if necessary.
I thought this phone was supposed to have Google wallet
It has nfc chip

Unfortunately Wallet isn't included with it and it's "not compatible" according to the Play Store. It Is, though, Isis Ready, not that I would use the carrier product over Google's.
Do not quote me, but the Moto website mentioned wallet with JB...

I tried to edit the build.prop for the RAZR HD to look like a Gsm gnex, but it didn't work. I'm not sure if I did it right though, but I probably did it wrong, so that would explain why. What would I have to do to change it to look like a gnex?
Nothing has worked so far, so I can't help lol, was just inputting my trials as to what I did to try to get it to work...only other idea I can think of off the top of my head is to install a modified apk file of Google wallet but can't even guarantee that will work because someone already said they tried and it didn't work for them
Beamed via NFC through the local store to the internet from my SGS3.
Anyone have any luck yet?
Well this is disappointing...I'm considering upgrading to this phone and I'd want to use ALL of the NFC capabilities.
I'd really like to see a work-around for this!

Be patient. NFC implementation is still pretty immature. You'll find more uses for it by the end of next year.

I would love to use Google Wallet on my phone. I used it on my Nexus 7 but I feel too silly holding up my tablet to a terminal... If anyone can help I would be very appreciated.

What about the XT925 (the GSM version)...has anyone managed to get Google Wallet working on that? It's actually very easy to use in my town and I'd love to be able to do it again.
Any updates on this?

From what I remember it is nearly impossible right now. There are old threads about it but something about google digitally encoding the app to a certain phone or something

new info
I DL and installed Google wallet apk 1.1 r57v5
Side loaded it and the install went thru
I have and NFC sim and Isis installed on my RAZR HD w/o root
It will install with this apk version, but it won't work. At app launch I get an error about it not being approved for my country or device / carrier. This is very similar to the error I got when try to open Isis before getting the NFC sim.
I'm very new to this but I'm hoping I've stumbled on something someone who has a more technical understanding of this issue can build on.
Google Wallet want the secure element in the phone not on the SIM. VZW won't give anybody access to the secure element in the phone.
So unless Motorola writes software that talks to a secure element that is on a SIM, forget it.

Restore Apps

My daughter broke her Nexus 7 tablet and its not functioning and she has installed lots of games on it. Today I got her a Galaxy Tab2, I signed in with her google account but it will not install what she had on the Nexus 7. Is there a way to do that or I need to have her install it manually?

I am pretty sure if it didnt automatically download anything it will have to be downloaded manually. Did you click restore from google account when setting up the tablet?

I did but nothing happened. I notice that it works sometimes but not all the time. I had that problem in the past with the Android phones.

She probably dropped it on the concrete floor at the driveway or something. Anyways, fixing that cracked screen is expensive. So I bought her a slightly used Tab 2 instead. At least I can put in additional 32gig storage for her to save her stuffs which the Nexus 7 can''t

Sorry about that, looks like you are gonna have to manually redownload the apps i don't think there is another way to automatically download them all back unfortunately.
