To start with, I did no real development on this, I just figured out what needed to be changed from the original method discovered by WarlockLord. All credit for this goes to him. See his thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031127 for more details.
I searched through the CleanROM topic (non-Verizon specific) and only saw people saying they wanted a way to get Wallet as the original method did not work for CleanROM, so I apologize if this was discovered already. I wanted to use CleanROM and Wallet so I played with it for a while and found out how to get it working.
1. Either extract the Wallet APK from WarlockLord's ZIP or download it from below.
2. Copy it to \system\app\ and give it permissions of rw- r-- r--.
3. Modify your build.prop to represent the Galaxy Nexus with the info in the original thread.
4. Reboot.
5. Open Wallet and do the setup of the account and card(s).
6. Modify your build.prop back to original settings.
7. Reboot.
After this it continues to open the app and keeps the selected card, I haven't attempted to make a purchase with it yet but it functions the same as it did after following the steps in the original method so I presume it would work the same afterwards.
Here is what I had to do:
1.) Edit my build.prop file
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
2.) Reboot
3.) Download the wallet app from the market and set it up, add card etc..
4.) Delete the app from /data/app/ after setup
5.) Put the wallet from the zip file in /system/app/
6.) Test it, reboot and launch it again
7.) put my build.prop back
Code:
ro.product.model=SCH-I605
ro.product.name=t0ltevzw
ro.product.device= t0ltevzw
I have had no issues using it at stores that support it. Originally I flashed the zip, but that kept crashing my NFC as that flash was for Android 4.1.1 I think, and CR is 4.1.2. To fix it, I just used TitaniumBackup to grab the NFC and NFCTest programs from my nandroid backup of the fresh Clean Rom install and place them back in /system/app/ and reboot.
I tried flashing the zip first too and experienced the same NFC crashing, but when I tried doing the install from the market like you did it just kept saying the 'Setting up Google Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes.' It was only after starting with the modified APK that it let me continue past that.

Working! No NFC issues so far, they were either happening ever 10 seconds or any time I opened a system app. Wallet comes up everytime with all the information still there. I'll give it a test tomorrow at the store
One thing to note in the above instructions is when you mess with the build.prop file make sure you change the permissions to rw-- r-- r-- if you dont you will go into boot loop....ask me how I know...
Thank you guys for putting up a clutter free working process
and for clarification I am on verizon CleanROM ACE 4.0.5
ok i just tried to do this and this the message i got. of course this isnt a gn2 but thats the message
From what I have read in the main 150+ page post, not all readers work with Google Wallet, and not all stores have it enabled. Some stores you also have to have them hit credit on their side for it to work before you try and use Wallet.
What store did you try this at?

The reader detected issue seems to be related to Wallet only on the Note II (or possibly other unsupported phones). All of the places I got the reader detected issue, Wallet worked with my Galaxy Nexus. I don't think it is a reader issue.
I've only used it once so far, but had no issues.

There has been a patched version of the updated Google Wallet released. Links updated. Now the Play Store won't ask you to update Wallet.
This is a link w/the method I used to install the apk (the linked OP method didn't work for me) and the Google Wallet app seems to work fine for me. It is showing me my unused $10, but it is too late in the evening for me to actually go test it. I will do my best to not be lazy tomorrow and find a store that has a NFC payment system.
Tested and it works perfectly.
So you can try the linked OP method, my method, or OMJ's flashable zip.

The install method I used is similar to the linked OP method. First I deleted the apk from system/app and data/app. Then I used Dropbox to get it on my phone from my PC. You can use whatever method you would like. Then I used Root Explorer to move the patched apk to system/app AND data/app. I also renamed the apk to what it was named previously on my phone when I downloaded Google Wallet from the Play Store. Your phone may have a different name as well. I think as long as they are named the same in system/app and data/app you should be fine. That is how I have it. Then don't forget to change permissions once you move it. With Root Explorer you will long press to get the menu and once you select permissions you will check the first two radio buttons on the first row of three. Then uncheck the last two radio buttons on the second row. Then uncheck the last radio button on the last row. Those permissions should match with all the other apps listed. It will look like this: rw-r--r--
Step by step:
- Be rooted
- Uninstall Google Wallet in Play Store OR just delete Google Wallet from data/app
- Delete Google Wallet apk in system/data
- take the patched Google Wallet apk and rename to something closer to what was already listed under system/app that you previously deleted. It isn't terribly important that you rename it exactly.
- move that apk to system/app
- change permissions to read rw-r--r--
- copy that apk and move to data/app
- reboot
Good luck.
Here is a solid step-by-step list from fpineda101:
I had to reboot my phone to get it to work. Here re the steps I took
1. Write down apk name in system/app
2. Delete apk in system/app
3. Mount r/w in system/app using root Explorer
4. Copy apk to system/app and rename it
5. Set permissions. I actually used this which worked for me
x x x
x

6. Mount system/app as r/o
7. Delete apk in data/app
8. Copy apk from system/app with rename to data/app
9. Reboot and run the sucka
Don't take the update in Goggle Play. It still doesn't fix Google Wallet for the Evo 4G LTE. BUT if after you did this apk switch you took the update -- don't fret. Because we installed the apk in system/app all you have to do is go back into the Play Store and select uninstall. It will revert back to the version we manually installed.
Thank you guys for hitting the thanks button. And you're welcome. It's cool knowing this is helping and working. I hope I reach 100.

Oh, not at all. I don't have the phone yet. Just attempting to learn as much about it as possible. Random Google Wallet question; if I already have a Visa card connected to my Google Wallet account from a long time ago, would paying for items be as simple as just signing in and using it? In the thread you linked it appears that some cards require certain dependencies to be able to be used for Wallet.

Simply changing the file extension of the old version (to .bak) worked for me, didn't have to delete fwiw.
are unrooted users still at a disadvantage?
you gotta be rooted to have this work..
but those of us that arent rooted cant do this because it'll brick our nfc if we try to root right now. we still need to wait on an official ota fix?

thank you so much for this, i have been trying other methods for hours now and still couldnt get this to work. i had unrooted and now i re-rooted and was about to give up when i saw this post. thank you again
great find, thanks!
worked like a champ! right after installing, I got a notification of an update for Wallet & it was dated today 7/1...I updated thinking Google finally fixed Wallet for the ELTE, but nope, got unsupported device again. Uninstalled update, back working again. I'll be adding a flashable odex & deodex zips in my thread.

From the research I've done (see my thread linked in my signature) there is no recovery from a bricked secure element. That and the FAQ I put together (also in my signature) should get you started on what to know about this device
Also, OP is it okay with you if I add a link to this thread to my aforementioned threads?

Rooting does not brick the element per se.
The potential bricking of your secure element would only be an issue if you have data in the app and now can't get into the app to clear the data because of the "unsupported" error.
@untick-now that OMJ created zips it may not matter but you don't need to install the app in both /system/app and /data/app.
I looked at OMJ's zip and he has it only going to /system/app and I deleted the one I installed manually in /data/app, rebooted and it still worked.
You may also want to include a note in the OP about not doing any updates. Easy enough to uninstall an update but figured it was worth mentioning.
EDIT: @fpineda- TIE!
I followed the op's instructions & it worked like a charm! My previous balance showed up and I just bought a couple things at Wawa. Thanks!

can you guys with the network error try this one (and log if possible)
push it to /system/app and replace the old one velvet apk if there's any.
what u can do is move the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to a folder you know in case you need to place back again, and download and move this one Velvet-theos0o to /system/app and set permission just close and try the search button on your cell phone after a reboot

Delete the googleserachbox.apk in data/app then rename the one in system/app. After that reboot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik then fix permissions and reboot.
yeah just remove the 1 after apk and remove any other velvet or search apk u had place in that folder /system/app

As was the case with other Jelly Bean apps, XDA Developers member febycv managed to port the APK and found a way to make it work on any rooted ICS ROM. His method requires some build.prop editing. Here’s how he explains :
Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system
Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.
Edit ro.build.version.sdk = 16 & save.
Now go to /system/app & Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1
Now reboot & install the app from the download link.
Now edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 15 & reboot.
Download febycv’s APK from here.
There is also another version that does not require editing of the build.prop. You can download it from here, rename the APK to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk, push it to System/App and set permisions RW-R-R. Don’t forget to backup the original app and .odex file before you proceed.
I also tried it, it installs fine and everything but refuses to wait for a voice command it just immediately cancels and asks to retry. Try it for yourself, you really cant mess much up if you have enough common sense not to delete random system apps.
I tried it as soon as I saw the post but (at least in my case) it was pretty broken, and painfully slow. I couldn't even submit queries I typed in. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it.
I wouldn't bother installing (unless you're going to try and hack it to work better). Hopefully we'll have JB ROMs soon.

Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Here is a script I made(see bottom for sources) today for using my SD card as Google Music storage. I'm currently on "Beans" but I'm pretty certain this will work with any TW based ROMs. If not just leave a comment or pm me and I'll fix another script for the ROM of choice. CM and AOSP ROMs should not work at the moment, but tonight I will update a script for AOSP.
Note:
I have tried directory bind or whatever the tool was called but it will not work due to Google Music saving the music in the data/data area. But nonetheless, this is an option for those that use Google Music and I'll be updating this script to bypass all the steps below soon and to do other things as well. Enjoy
Disclaimer:
As always, this script requires root and it will modify your data/data partition, and when doing anything that requires "root" privileges, there is a chance of doing harm to your device. Therefore, I will not be held responsible for anything that may happen to your device. Follow the steps provided and do not alter any files and all should go as described.
Prerequisite:
Google Play Music
Script Manager
GMusic Script v1.0
Installation:
**This script will remove all music that Google Music has previously downloaded in the data/data directory. Depending on your library size will determine how long the delete process is(approx 1-5 minutes). After the first time running, you will no longer have to wait upon boot and all will go as intended.
1. Download the script and save to your SD Card. It doesn't matter where but I suggest the SD Card and do NOT alter/delete/move this file once you have everything set up.
2. Open script manager and navigate to the script. Open as Script/Executable and make sure you tick root and boot, then save.
3. Reboot device.
4. Once booted up, script manager will ask for root privs. There will be a box to "ask again" within the SU PopUp. Un-tick this box so you won't see it anymore. Then grant root privs.(I got two pop ups so do the same for both)
5. Go to choose on device music and check available space. You should see the increase in size.
6. Redownload your music and enjoy.
**Your music will now be saved in "Music/Google" on your SD Card.**

Did you invent the script? You said "various sources" so I'm assuming you used other's work. All I'm saying is you better credit and link to them in the OP -- or else you'll feel the heat.

lol ok..
Well let's see, the script was wrote by me.. yes, I looked at 2 or 3 threads on my phone last night and today, I wrote the script based on those viewings.. idk if you have tried to link like 3 different links together on tapatalk but I didnt have the time.. I was at work and I just got home from a 24 hour shift. I stated that I was gonna do something else to the thing this evening(bout to start) and I was gonna post the links when I got home. lol chill for a sec and I know about credit man
Also, threads that I read on this issue are broken, as in.. they do not work anymore.
If you know about credit, you wouldn't have posted until it was linked. I only called you out because I remember you doing a similar thing in an X2 thread years ago. Battery percentage? Ring a bell? I can find the thread if you'd like.

Everyone who creates something on XDA is always in a rush to get it to the community
It is only natural to want to share and get it out there for all to enjoy
However if you used some of the work even from the broken threads
you should post links to them as well
Thank you for your contribution
Try to get the rest of those credits in there
Thank you for your cooperation

Here is a script I made(see bottom for sources) today for using my SD card as Google Music storage. I'm currently on "Beans" but I'm pretty certain this will work with any TW based ROMs. If not just leave a comment or pm me and I'll fix another script for the ROM of choice. CM and AOSP ROMs should not work at the moment, but tonight I will update a script for AOSP.
Note:
I have tried directory bind or whatever the tool was called but it will not work due to Google Music saving the music in the data/data area. But nonetheless, this is an option for those that use Google Music and I'll be updating this script to bypass all the steps below soon and to do other things as well. Enjoy
Disclaimer:
As always, this script requires root and it will modify your data/data partition, and when doing anything that requires "root" privileges, there is a chance of doing harm to your device. Therefore, I will not be held responsible for anything that may happen to your device. Follow the steps provided and do not alter any files and all should go as described.
Prerequisite:
Google Play Music
Script Manager
GMusic Script v1.0
Installation:
**This script will remove all music that Google Music has previously downloaded in the data/data directory. Depending on your library size will determine how long the delete process is(approx 1-5 minutes). After the first time running, you will no longer have to wait upon boot and all will go as intended.
1. Download the script and save to your SD Card. It doesn't matter where but I suggest the SD Card and do NOT alter/delete/move this file once you have everything set up.
2. Open script manager and navigate to the script. Open as Script/Executable and make sure you tick root and boot, then save.
3. Reboot device.
4. Once booted up, script manager will ask for root privs. There will be a box to "ask again" within the SU PopUp. Un-tick this box so you won't see it anymore. Then grant root privs.(I got two pop ups so do the same for both)
5. Go to choose on device music and check available space. You should see the increase in size.
6. Redownload your music and enjoy.
**Your music will now be saved in "Music/Google" on your SD Card.**
