[MOD][Xposed]Disable network/device checks for Google Wallet - Xposed Framework Modules

This is an Xposed module (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 for more on Xposed) that allows disables region/device checks for Google Wallet r87 and above.
Source code for the module is at https://github.com/Entropy512/XposedWalletPatcher
To install:
Install the Xposed Installer APK from the thread linked above
Install the Xposed framework using Xposed Installer
Install the APK linked in this post
Reboot your device after enabling the module in Xposed Installer
Install Google Wallet from the Play Store - No more need for hacked APKs for a banking app. Complete source code for the module showing every method that is patched is provided above.
This will work even if Google Wallet gets updated through the Play Store, as long as method names used for checking don't change. (GW had major changes between r81 and r87 that required changing Xposed modules, however, no changes were necessary from r87 to the current Play Store version.)
NOTE: Initial setup of Google Wallet still requires a hacked build.prop, but you can restore build.prop once you've set it up. Thanks go to ogdobber for most of these settings from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
Here are the modified values I use. SAVE YOUR build.prop before editing!!!
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
You'll see two differences here from ogdobber's settings: setting brand and manufacturer to Samsung. The reason for this is that his tutorial is for a Galaxy S III - e.g. faking out one Samsung product on a different Samsung product. On my Xperia T, I needed one or both of these additional changes (I have not yet had time to determine which one.)
Many of the tips and tricks in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083 are still valid - the only difference is you no longer have to install smali-hacked Wallet versions to /system, full source of the module is provided, AND you can update Wallet from the Play Store and it will continue working as long as the compatibility check methods/classes don't change names.

FAQ
Q: Why does this still require build.prop changes when initially setting up Wallet?
A: For unknown reasons, SOMETHING is directly parsing build.prop and sending it to a server somewhere during initial setup. I have not figured out what is doing it and how to fake it out with Xposed yet.
Q: If I need build.prop hacks, what's the point of this module?
A: Once you have initialized Google Wallet and set up a card, you can return build.prop to its normal state. If you do this without the module, Google Wallet will stop working.
Q: Resetting Google Wallet hangs with at N-3/N steps complete (e.g. 74/77)
A: Resetting GW also needs modified build.prop. DO NOT FEAR: You can safely modify build.prop and reboot even after reset has started. I have done this numerous times.

Using the Wallet R96 apk, I was able to install and setup without modification to build.prop on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2, LJC firmware.
Note: The R96 apk will install on my GN2 without this mod, if I use the latest MA7 firmware.

Doesn't surprise me since Sprint is the only carrier I'm aware of that cooperates with Google - many Sprint phones are officially supported by GW.

I know none of the Exynos-based GS2s had an SE. Don't know about the Qcom variants.
If your NFC gets totally hosed when GW is installed, but then starts working perfectly as soon as you uninstall GW, that's a sign you're missing the SE.

Works on ATT Galaxy S 3 (i747) running CM 10.1 nightlies.
Temporarily made the build.prop edits for initial setup. Just re-install xposed hooks after flashing each nightly.

Thanks dude! I was tired of resetting my build.prop everytime I reboot my phone. :thumbup:

Just curious, Im on a tmobile sgs3. I used the wallet installer to install wallet perfectly, the version that installs allows you to revert the build.prop changes afther the initial setup and it will still work perfectly. There is a version in the play store though and it prompts me to update. Once I update it says that it will not work with a rooted device. Will this module fix that issue and allow me to update? As of right now, I just unlinked it from the play store using rom toolbox so I dont even see the update anymore.

It completely removed the root check because when I was using the Galaxy Nexus information in the build.prop file, every time I used wallet it says unsupported device but after I installed the module that unsupported device message went away and I was able to revert my build.prop file back to the note 2 with no issues whatsoever (and I'm on the latest version of google wallet)

On Xperia S i can install but it always says to exit and try again after restarting the device...

Hi.
I am on Jedi XV13. It has the exposed framework installer in the jedi rom tricks. So I just added this module then changed my build prop in rom toolbox pro.
Now I guess I should clarify worked perfectly. lol
I set up wallet when i made that post bit as of today I have not used it. It did however pull all my old cc info from my nexus and seems to be good to go.
I will get gas, a milkshake, or something to see if it does work tomorrow. I see no reason it shouldnt through.

Yes - with this module, you can update from the market and it will USUALLY work unless Google changed method names.
They did that a few versions ago, but the past 2-3 Play Store updates have not required module changes. If they do I'll probably notice within a day or two and update the module.

Need more details. Also refer to the thread that I linked - it has a LOT of useful info on various gotchas, the main difference being that this does not require putting a hacked APK into /system AND, as stated above, often (but not always) continues working after updating via the Play Store.
If you look at some of the other threads, sometimes other hacks are needed other than the hacked APK. This approach ONLY replaces the hacked APK, and not other things that may be necessary, such as hacked up NFC libraries on some devices.

Tried that.. copied libs from Sprint GS3 which is known to work and nfc_access.xml certs and what not.. samething... you would NOT be able to pass setting up the payments. Always get Device setup failed.. Gave up on this.. Damn it google..

I have installed the exposed frame work and module, edited build prop like it says in first post. installed Google wallet Apk, but all im getting is
wallets unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the devices has network access and try rebooting if problem persists.
I can't get past this any ideas? I'm on jb stock Xperia s. In settings there is Google wallet or operator Wallet, what is operator wallet for? Thanks
