[App][Mod]Google Wallet Installer

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3.
Requires ROOT, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and BUSYBOX!(A deodexed ROM is just recommended)
My newest project, RemoteFlash, was just released! Take a look and give it a try!
Wallet Installer Is Now Available For Free To All Supported Carrier Models On XDA! (Donations Appreciated)
My application, "Wallet Installer", will install Google Wallet on almost any US based Samsung Galaxy S3. It simply edits your build.prop and then places the correct modifications into your system. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which is pretty quick. Just select the appropriate Rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz, and then your carrier: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular. I also added a restore option for your build.prop, so you can restore it after you setup Google Wallet. Hopefully this helps you out and makes the process easier!
Wallet Installer has been updated on the server side. The credit goes to Paul Obrien for the new version! To install it, simply reset Google Wallet, delete it, and then rerun Wallet Installer! Make sure to also have BusyBox installed/updated!
Please donate if my work helps you : )
V3: No Recovery/More Stable
And as always: I take no responsibility for bricked devices, whether a soft brick or a full on brand new coffee coaster.​

Dude. You are awesome. I was just in the official wallet thread and was hesitant on going through with it because it seemed daunting having to change the build prop. I'm about to flash slim Bean 3.1 and then try this out. Will update this post once I finish trying it out . Hopefully all goes well!!!
Well I ended up lagging on the install but just wanna say thanks again because it worked perfectly. First try and not a single problem as of yet. Awesome!!

Glad to help! Hopefully all goes well! If the download stalls just give it a while, my server is a retired galaxy nexus hooked up to WiFi lol. My WiFi sucks sometimes.

Internal SDcard Corrupt?

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 3's(d2vzw)​
My application, "WalletInstaller", will install Google Wallet on any Verizon S3. It simply swaps out your build.prop with a modified one and then flashes an open recovery (TWRP 2), and in the open recovery flashes the latest version of Google Wallet along with the required NFC libs for your rom. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which can be somewhat slow, but I'll be upgrading soon. Hopefully there won't be any download issues. Just select the appropriate rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz. Hopefully it helps you out and makes the process easier! It has been tested on my device, which is running CM10, but the other options haven't been tested, but they should work great. I will also hopefully make it to support all US carrier based S3's after the weekend is over.
My application will be in the market for 99 cents if you feel like supporting the cause(will post link once uploaded), or you can download it here for free. Please don't post links to my application without my personal consent. Thank you!
And as always: I take no responsibilty for bricked devices, whether a soft brick or a full on brand new coffee coaster.

So I installed the app and set it all up just fine, in fact, I was about to test out wallet at a locat establishment but I noticed something was a little weird. I tried to change my wallpaper to a picture in my gallery. For some reason I got an error that "Not enough space. Delete photos, music, etc." Last time I checked I had plenty of space. I opened up setting and storage to find my device storage has a total of 4GB of space (with close to 2GB's of free space remaining). My S3 is a 16GB unit. Obviously things are a bit haywire. I'm running CleanROM 5.0 at the moment so I'm not sure if your app would conflict with that but things were fine prior to this. What do you think?

when i choose ics touchwiz install it loads terminal emulator and says rm failed for /system/build.prop no such file or directory

I'm not sure if my app would interfere quite like that. It shouldn't, but when messing with the build.prop and a custom ROM you can never be positive. If anything else odd happens, pm me and I'll look into it.

It's possible that your system didn't mount properly, or that your ROM is using some sort of mod that moved the build.prop, or it may have been removed or altered by another application.

Got mine installed and all looks good but same thing about the wallpaper..........says no space even though it has space.

That's odd. What ROM type are you running?

CleanROM 5 also
I mean it installed great. I even put a new debit card on it. Going to try it out in just a hour or so but no space when using the gallery to change wallpaper

Maybe it's just an issue with CleanRom. Still really weird though. I won't know til more people give it a shot. Anyways, let me know if wallet works! Thanks for trying it.

Hope your bugs get worked out I'll gladly buy/donate to this app

Thanks Hulk! I'm sure I can get it all ironed out, it'll just take some time ; )

Same wallpaper issue. Also now I cannot access internal sd card via root explorer.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Same here, I can't access Internal Card........if not a fix soon, I will probably have to redo flash of ROM and just wait for better wallet. This worked too btw
---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
Here's one question for you...
Why does your installation include TWRP 2.3.1.0.
I already had a CWM Recovery...that was strange to me.....when I get to work I am going to try to flash over that to see if that's the problem. Could be that. But right now I can't access my internal drive let alone the backups if I were to start over.......LOL.....I wouldn't be able to get to.
Live and Learn I guess.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble. I included TWRP because it uses an open, unencrypted script file to pass commands to recovery. CWM, from my understanding, requires an encrypted, not so universal script file called extended commands. Depending on what recovery someone was running, flashing a script would not work, or it would possibly brick their device. I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly.

Also... I will take a look at all my server side files today and the app. I can't make changes from where I am, since I don't have ftp setup and I'm out of town, but I can download them and see where I may have gone wrong. My best guess is the build.prop swap causing issues, if any of you have possible leads, post them here and I can attempt a fix later today or tomorrow.

BTW...Wallet worked like a charm in 7-11 and Whole Foods
Taking pictures is a little harder too...have to switch to external to save the pictures....the Camera 4.2 doesn't even allow you to switch to external card.
Would be a shame to scrap this working wallet for these issues

I'm getting ready to attempt a flash on CleanRom in a few minutes to see if that's the only ROM having issues. Hopefully you guys can stick this out until everything's working great ; )

I flashed wallet and libs using my app on CleanRom 5. I was able to replicate the same error as you guys posted. Also, I don't know if you guys checked, but in recovery it mounts the internal sdcard perfectly, so that tells me it may have something to do with CleanRom in specific. I'm going to flash through some stock touchwiz ROMs with Odin and see what results I get in that area. Hopefully it's just a ROM specific ordeal. Sorry for the long posts, just trying to keep you all updated!

"Couldn't Capture Screenshot."

I've had the opo for about two weeks now & have flashed a couple of different on my device looking for a daily driver. I'm having issues taking screenshot. Idk if this is new because I haven't tried until this morning to take a screenshot on my device. I constantly get an error stating "can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization." Has anyone else experienced this error with cyanogenmod or Android lollipop in general?

Nopes.
Try clearing cache/dalvik cache via recovery.
I hope your internal memory is not full.
Try to take the screenshot using any third party app. Also try hardware buttons method.
If still it doesn't works out for you, provide us your ROM information, like it's build date and try to find out the users who are on same nightly and whether they are facing same issue or not.
I hope this helps you

None of the above methods solved the problem. I've experienced this same issue on a few different roms(blisspop v2.1, cyanide 8.0, sabermod 3/23/15 build).

Thanks, I'm restoring my stock root backup now in twrp recovery & will post my results if this solved the issue or not
Edit: No luck on the stock root screenshot either, guess I'll just have to live with the fact I can't take a screenshot on my device, at least until a definitive solution is found

Okay, latest update..........I did a factory restore + unroot using bacon root toolkit then re-rooted my device using the same toolkit & restored my nandroid of my last rom and................................................................................................................................................great news screenshots are working now! :good:

Even I am facing the same problem after updating CM12 latest version yesterday. Please help

I had this tonight on COS 12.1. A reboot cleared it for now.

I am having the same problem but got fed up searching a fix , I felt a waste of time searching for it too afterall how many times do we use that feature. i downloaded a third party app for the same & its working like a charm. Problem solved

Screenshot Issue
I am facing the same problem
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------
hey guys,
You gotta follow these steps to get your screenshots up and running.
1. Open file manages
2. Look for PICTURES folder.
3. Rename it to PICTURES2 or something
That's It.... Screenshots up and running....
Now Why is that ? Thats becausethe folder PICTURES is actually supposed to be Pictures. When you try to capture a screenshot, the screenshot app looks for a folder called Pictures but since it doesn't exist, it tries to create it. But File Manager doesn't differentiate between Pictures and PICTURES. Hence the error. When you do the rename and capture a screenshot you can actually see a folder called Pictures created. Now you can move the data from PICTURES2 to Pictures(Only the important one and without deleting anyexisting content in Pictures). It is safe to delete the PICTURES2 folder after this.

For now, screenshots work after renaming pictures to pictures 2 but I am unable to delete my pictures 2 now. There is a file name screenshot inside(not image). Any suggestions how to delete this?
Thank you.

Hi Guys,
Seems the internal memory permission has been jumbled up and you need to fire the following command to restore the same. Connect with adb while booted in recovery and run the following commands to correct the permissions. After that your problem might get solved:
Code:
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/
find /data/media/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ';'
find /data/media/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ';'
Thanks

SM-T116bu Kernel?

I just bought a Samsung tab 3v then I successfully rooted it using this: ( www 4shared com/get/4sFqkNODba/ ) but after I did that I could no longer use the camera (error then force close) so I'm asking if anyone could help me with that please? I did few research they said it's something about the kernel so anyone could provide me with one for my phone?

Someone please help me with this? At least provide me with an already rooted rom.

one small tip for future reference.
you should figure out how to fix your phone and have the tools and files on hand before making any modifications.
personally, i never do anything to my phone before thoroughly learning how to fix it, and if i cant find a way, then i dont mod it.
i see all the time on here, people frantic because they broke their phone and dont have a clue how to fix it.
in some cases there is no way to fix it because the files are not available, its really important to know that before you break it.

Didn't you actually 'think' that I already searched for that on Google? Please try to 'think' that if you don't do mistakes you will never learn so yeah not breaking your phone doesn't mean you're smart OR intelligent.

i never implied that you or anyone else wasnt "smart or intelligent"
i have broken my phones many times. the difference between me and a lot of users i see posting here is, i think about what would happen if i do something and it breaks the phone, before i actually do it. then i go and find out how to restore stock, and gather the files and tools first. then i actually restore stock, just so im sure i know how to do it first.
i see and help countless users here on xda, and frequently see people run to flash things they think they have to have right away. frequently that is followed by post pleading for help, because they failed to understand the journey, and chose to jump right to the finish line.
so yes, i agree, not breaking your phone doesnt make you smart or intelligent. knowing how to fix it, and helping others to fix theirs for many years, at minimum should gain those of us who help others a little respect, because we dont get paid to, nor have any obligation to, help anyone.

How come? Posting a Google link is actually helping? Then next time someone asks who's that guy, you tell him Google it. I did come here for a reason, which is finding a developer who can make a prerooted rom for me since it doesn't exist anywhere in the Web.
Anyway I found a solution I will post it here in case someone needed it:
1- Flash the tablet with stock rom (the one of your SM-T116bu) skip to 2 if you already have the stock rom and you only want to root the tablet.
2- Get a file explorer (ES explorer or root explorer).
3- Browse to system/lib and copy the whole lib folder and put it somewhere you can access it later.
4- Flash your tablet using the prerooted SM-T116nu rom (link is above).
5- Using the root explorer replace all files in the system/lib which has a 'camera' word in their name with the same files name from the lib folder of the stock rom, do the same with the files in system/lib/hw6- Reboot your device and the camera should work again.

Thanks, but your method soft bricks (black screen, can't operate the phone at all after booting) the phone until I flash the rooted or the official ROM again. There's no hw6 folder either, just hw and even changing only the lib files with camera in their names will also soft brick the phone.
I found a solution!!!
Restored my phone to the latest official ROM, then flashed the tiny file from the topic below using ODIN.

{GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting

Alright here is a guide to installing the unlocked S7 Edge firmware onto your Verizon S7 edge. I will also be giving some tips on setting up specific parameters to get the best battery and performance towards the end of this guide. A list of credits for all the folks who actually discovered and wrote about all these topics will be at the end of the guide as well. All credit goes to those guys!!!!
I am not responsible for anything that occurs to your phone. Period. Use this Guide at your own risk.
Part 1: Installing the 935U firmware
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE (except SD card)! BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START THIS PROCESS.
Before you start, make sure you have the Samsung phone USB drivers installed. If you do not have them installed ODIN will not recognize your phone. Here is a link to the drivers installation package: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe
Note: I personally had success with this version of Odin: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6a2xg2frrin92o6/odin_3.12.3.rar?dl=0 (MD5 - 9C878DB69273148F01910D1CBCB1ABBD)
However another user couldn’t get it to work and used this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfe8zn2adnwdtuw/ODIN .zip?dl=0 (MD5 - 136E707B39C2E4CDC47820C68065CD5C)
How to install:
Step 1. Put your phone in download mode. You do this by having the phone off and pressing the power button, the home button, and the volume down button at the same time, holding them until the download screen comes up. Sometimes there will be a prompt that says press the home button to continue to download mode. In that case press the home button as well.
Step 2. Flash the 4 files in this zip (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588212152304771)(MD5 - BB4D013B3B6D7638484A4B0F56953BFA) to your phone using Odin, all 4 of them at the same time. Unzip the files into the folder that contains your ODIN installation, or a folder where they are easy to find. Open up ODIN and put the BL file in the BL slot, AP file in the AP slot, and so on. Then flash all 4 at once.
I have flashed the U firmware multiple times in experimentation and at one point the flash failed. I simply forced the phone to reboot into download mode (by the normal method listed above) and tried reflashing. It went through just fine. So don't panic, just retry.
Part 2: Rooting the U firmware
NOTE: This guide is mostly taken from an excellent guide already made by @Argyrus. The only reason I am posting it here is to keep the flow of the overall guide together.
First off download these files (https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4yymhbthn6nmqp/Root Files.zip?dl=0) and extract all the files to one main folder. Make sure all the files that are in the "SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC" folder are moved to the main folder.
- Folder named "SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC" contains the SuperSU and thing needed to root the phone
- ADB Setup EXE called "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe", needed to install ADB and the Drivers
- Special patched Odin that skips the SHA 225 called Odin PrinceComsy.exe (Mainly for AT&T) including an .ini file named "Odin3.ini"
- file named "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR", this is the engBoot for the phone that will allow rooting
NOTE: Some users have experienced endless boot loop; this seems to be caused by using a package disabler that disabled certain services. If you used one and end up getting an endless boot loop try wiping the cache and factory reset the phone.
1. Install ADB by running adb-setup-1.4.3.exe (select YES to all options, especially system wide ADB)
2. Make sure to put your phone into downloading mode (Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
3. Open up Odin and click AP and mount Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR, then flash it
4. Once restarted put the phone into USB debugging mode, if it is not already enabled (need Developer options for this)
4b. To get developer mode, go to "About" then tap "build number" about 6 or 7 times
4c. Go back to settings and you should now see developer options, turn on USB debugging
5. Now back on your PC, double click on the file called "root.bat" (it should be in the main folder with ALL the other files, aka no subfolders)
6. Wait for the CMD to finish and then your phone should restart
7. Once your phone has finally restarted you will notice that SuperSU was installed and root should be working, download root checker to find out for yourself.
Part 3: Implementing all the Verizon specific fixes (enable Verizon volte, fix wifi password saving issues, doze issues, cpu issues, VVM, etc.)
1. Download the Verizon s7 edge fix zips (there are two zips that will be flashed together in a certain order) (File 1 - http://dl.psouza4.com/android/S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip)(File 2 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225178488)
2. Use Flashfire (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en) to flash both zips, keep the standard options that are already selected in Flashfire. Arrange the zips so that S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip is flashed first, and Verizon_VVM_Volte_Wifi_Calling_G935U_Fix.zip is flashed second. It will auto reboot after flashing both files.
3. Profit
Also it is always a good idea to change all the animation speeds to .5, which you can find under the developer options. This speeds up the phone visually, providing for a faster user experience.
Part 4: Setting up xposed and additional battery life saving tools (optional)
These are some steps that I have taken to see great battery life results. Feel free to try them out and see if they work for you.
1. Install xposed using Flashfire (only use the modified xposed zip below or else you will have serious issues)
Here is the modified xposed zip to flash through Flashfire (https://www.dropbox.com/s/67aujyog5...arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160709.zip?dl=0)
Note: It takes a while to boot after flashing this due to the cache rebuild. Do not panic, let it do its thing.
Also you will need to install the Xposed apk to be able to use Xposed: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/euqp5ofg32gjspj/XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk?dl=0)
2. Install Greenify (xposed module) and enable all the additional features (donate only), including aggressive doze. Add any apps that are running in the background that seem to be battery hogs and enable auto-hibernation.
I also went through the system files and removed or froze any Samsung files I did not want with Titanium. But that's just a personal preference of mine, I'm OCD about files I have enabled on my phone lol.
Note: By request I have posted screenshots of all the files I have frozen, as well as a screenshot of all the apps I have greenifyed. I decided to Greenify more apps than disable this time to see if I get the same battery life as disabling everything. Time will tell.
That's about it. Hopefully this is helpful to us Verizon users who are trying to comb through multiple forums trying to find all the pieces to the puzzle in regards to flashing and rooting the U firmware. I am simply putting everything into one guide, along with any additions which I learned from my personal experience flashing and rooting my S7E onto the U firmware.
If there is any questions or comments hit me up, i'd be happy to help anyway I can.
Cheers!

I would love for someone who uses wifi calling on Verizon to try out the CSC file replacement I have posted here. I want to see if that file fixes that function but i personally don't use Wi-Fi calling so I can't test out out.....

This is outstanding. Thank you so much!
I've yet to go through the whole process, as I want to set aside some time to prepare everything, etc. But I was wondering whether you'd be willing to share a list of the packages you froze or removed with Titanium. I am also a minimalist when it comes to what files I keep around on any device. If you'd prefer to share via PM, that's fine too. I know those kinds of lists elicit a variety of reactions from a variety of users.

Quick question
I already rooted us8ng adb
-So to flash U firmware
I use regular Odin for that
-Then is modded Odin for Eng g935x_qc_rooted_boot.tar. is that right?
- then adb and root.bat?

Yea it actually does not matter that you are rooted. You are basically starting over from scratch by using ODIN to flash the U firmware. So start at the beginning and follow all the steps and you should be good!

What's your reasoning for leaving greenify aggressive doze off?

No worries! I leave aggressive doze off because I use Force Doze to control doze instead. It does a much better job than Greenify at dozing quickly, as long as you use xposed to manage it. Force Doze screws up auto rotate and auto brightness bad if you don't use xposed settings in it.

All files (except the U firmware files) have been uploaded to my Dropbox and posted with md5 info. The U firmware has also been updated with md5 info. If the mediafire link ever goes down for the U firmware I will share a Dropbox link to that file as well.

Hi, I need help with one of the step to root the phone. So i was able to flash the .tar file on the phone using the custom Odin but I couldn't flash SU on the phone. Whenever I tried to run the root.bat file the cmd return this:
C:\adb\super>adb wait-for-device
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Please help!

Thanks again for this. So, If I have the actual unlocked phone which already has the U firmware, I can skip a few steps and just root, do the cpu fixes, etc., right? The only thing I don't like about this phone is lack of voicemail notifications since the U firmware is stripped of that function.
Or is it better for me to perform all of the steps knowing I can flash the full U firmware to get back to the original state if I have to?

Redmi Note 5 Pro Stock Camera APK

Hi,
I was able to fetch APK file of Camera of Redmi Note 5 Pro, I was not rooted so I wasn't able to fetch library files and odex file.
But still I believe sharing is caring,
And some Devs might find it useful
I tried putting in system/priv-app/MiuiCamera, giving it permission rw-r-r, and after reboot it shows the app but force closes when tapped.
It won't be installed as normal APK ..
So just sharing it, it might help someone
Not Able to upload via XDA labs app, telling me network issue every time. So here is the,

Its never need to be rooted to get system dump . You can always fetch whole system partition through adb .check adb guides,so with any good file explorer ,there is nothing important available at data partition .so don't fool around here .

When you get handson of this device, Someone pls share the setup to replicate pixel/stock android system wide appearence without root.

Bro, Calm Down, Nobody is Fooling you here, I didn't had the device for a longer period of time, so in that little time I was able to fetch camera APK, why I did this? It's because its Version 2 of Miui Camera, older devices uses Version 1, and there is a lot of difference between them.
If the device would have been with me for much longer time I could fetch system dump through ADB or I could have rooted it and fetched everything, but as you know the device hasn't been sold yet, so what I did what I could have done.
Talking about fetching file with file explorer without root, Sorry it's not possible, Redmi Note 5 Pro uses Emulated partitions, so you can't just "SEE" root folders without root.
So keep Calm, and wait for the device to be sold and get it on hands to provide system files, in the little time, I did, what I could.
Thank you.
PS : I'm not Pro's like you guys, still I shared the camera APK having the Nooby Knowledge.

I don't know if they kept camera libs the same as the ones on old devices, but here's the list of the files needed (requires access to /system, so rooted device):
from /system/etc
the folder "device_features"
age_gender_bg
android_model_facea.dat
android_model_faceg.dat
face_goodly_***_***
face_ravishing_***_***
face_splendid_***_***
lf_facerank_model.bin
people_gender.dat
watermark_font_****_****.dat
from /system/priv-app
The folder "MiuiCamera"
If you (or anyone else) can, just try to pack them all together and upload them! That will be very helpful!

Sorry brother, but I have been unable to unlock the bootloader because of this stupid method to unlock BL by Xiaomi. All the Made in India variants are facing 86006 error because of which no one has been able to unlock and root, including me. Bugs have been raised and Xiaomi reported that their developers are working on it.
I hope someone with a rooted device reads this and tries to help.

Is it possible to port redmi note 5 pro's stock camera for other devices, like for redmi note 4?? as it got a good EIS and front portrait mode, will it work on mido??
