[Q] Faking Galaxy Nexus through Build.prop mod - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to edit the build.prop so that the market believes our device to be a Galaxy Nexus instead of the GS2?
I'm asking because I can't find any way to get Google Wallet to work on my device, and I'd really like to get it working. NFC is functioning fine on my Korean SGS2 but I can't really use it if Wallet isn't working...
Any help is much appreciated!

Do a search theres a mod in xda that got it working...

I have nfc working, but no idea how to get google wallet / pay with phone functioning There is nothing in the sgs2 forum when i search for google wallet that actually gives a solution. Can you link it? I can't find it...

gs2 has NFC chip ?and how to enable NFC ?

the I9100p only has an nfc chip

No dice, the first thread installed but it FCs right away and I can't get it run after that. I'm thinking this has to do with the device being the wrong name (nexus instead of gs2). I know they have a ton in common so I doubt there's a whole lot that I'd have to change to get this to work... any ideas how to take that APK and modify it to work, or maybe a build.prop mod that lies to the app?

NFC on AT&T Version

I just picked up this phone... for the NFC capability........ but HOW DO I CONFIGURE AND USE this feature?
The battery has NFC written on it...
Can anyone help?
Thanx
It has the "capability" but it's not functional yet since there are no "official" apps to use it with. I assume Google will eventually release their app or someone will post an early beta or a hacked APK from some foreign device.
It's no in our phone's firmware yet.. It's built in, but we can't use it..

Wait. AT&T removed a lot of the stuff required for usable NFC support from the firmware.

[Q] Where is voice talk?

Hello,
I just purchased a Galaxy S II, model SHW-M250S. However, I do not think it came with the voice talk software. Does anyone know why that would be? Any way to add it to the phone (other than vlingo from the app store) I have been trying to figure it out online for a little bit now so I am posing the question to those with a lot more knowledge about phones than myself. Thank you.
You mean a voice command application? Vlingo is the closest you can get right now.
Yes voice commands. I thought the GS2 came with a "voice talk" application preloaded. In videos I have seen users just click applications and it is right but my phone lacks this.
There are three, voice talk, voice command, and voice search. Not sure what are the difference among them as they all seem to do more or less the same thing.
Sent from my phone via tap tap tap
Hmm, well I have the voice search but it just searches google. It won't open apps or let me dictate messages or anything.
You are right, I got them confused, voice search does google, but the other two more or less do the same thing. They should all be in your app drawer.
I don't think they are I wonder how it got left off the phone? Kinda disappointing. Too expensive of a phone to be missing stuff imo.
I have been searching high and low for an APK that has those, but I have not come up with anything so far... lost it when I flashed a complete WIPE custom rom... I'll be ever so thankful if anybody uploads or directs me to said APK...

[APP] Voice search that works on ICS roms

This is for all the people who keep asking about voice search not working on the ICS KANG ROMS.
Instructions:
Take the voice search apk and push it to system/app...change permissions to match the others... Reboot.. go to system/app. Then install the apk..say yes to replace system app.
(yes its complicated but i found that its the only way that it works.)
Good Post - Thank you

no worries...this is useless now...the voice search is fixed in all the new ics builds.
Worked Perfect! Thanks for the information.
Hi,
I've installed this following the instructions. But after a reboot, when I start voice search, it force close.
It works again if I reinstall from /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
But I really don't want to install this after every reboot.
Why does it happen, and is there a permanent fix ?
Thanks.

I'm not looking for a link nor any newer version.
Because all new versions make my webcam's microphone useless. The apk shared on this thread is the only Voice Search apk that receives proper voice from my webcam.
Now, stop trying to impose your brilliant ideas. I have a problem related to this thread. That's why I'm trying to get help. If you are disturbed, just stop following this thread.
Why do you read it if you don't have any issues with newer version anyway ?

Then kindly say what you are looking for. This apk will NOT fix any issues. Again..this will do NOTHING. If anything it will make it worse. Now someone has to close this thread.

If you don't care about using Google Play Music 5.0:
Find old apk (4.5.9 I think)
Uninstall 5.0
Turn off automatic updating in market
Install old apk
???
Profit
This is the only thing I did, wasn't too wowed with the new features of 5.0.
I also don't know what it would take to add the functionality to 5.0 :/
Hope this helps.

Ok well the no updating might not be possible from editing the 4.5.9 app.
I looked around the 5.0 app and it definitely doesn't have the Tungsten support files so it isn't just missing visually
I'm wonder what is involved with porting the Tungsten code to the 5.0 app...

It may be built out but disabled, maybe because they had to disable it to get the contracts for Google music unlimited access.. Wonder if there is a labs type thing in Google music...

[App] Samsung - Application Monitor

I saw this little Samsung widget from a You Tube video. My current ROM doesn't have it, I don't recall seeing it with past ROMs either. I searched this forum and don't see it here.
I hunted it down through Twitter of all places.
Maybe it's not included on N7100 .. anyway it's tested & works fine, lightweight. It clearly tells how many apps are active, clicking it leads to your built-in Task Manager.
It's an apk, just install normally.

Cheers
This is made by Samsung and available through the the Samsung App store. They have newer release available 1.0.6

I find Samsungs App store can be picky on the keyword, also they try to detect your device and determines weather or not it is compatible for the app. If it's not or unknown they don't display it. I think custom roms might have a issue in this regard lol.
Here's the new one.

Hi Hemant. Unless you live in New Zealand, this app won't suit you. It's a paid app by the NZ national weather service, only shows weather for NZ.

Sorry I don't know how to get it to work on custom roms, my guess is the widget needs specifics from Samsung touchwiz roms possibly the framework that Samsung uses or could be the kernel, but I honestly have no idea.
