Root [Verizon] [App] Google Wallet Installer

prl91 · Jan 17, 2013

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3.

Requires ROOT, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and an updated BUSYBOX!(A deodexed ROM is just recommended)

Wallet Installer Is Available For Free For All Supported Carrier Models!

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 dedicated 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 consider donating if you feel inclined! I pay for a dedicated server just for you guys to download from : )

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.

How would I install it after downloading. I Googled how to instal apk and a you tube videos told me to install an app called Astro File Manager. When I chose install it ran and I was able to select ROM type and carrier. (chose jb touchwiz) after doing so screen turned black vibrated a few times then nothing had restore from Odin.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome Fhose!
What rom are you on?
I assume your bootloader is unlocked and you are rooted?

Did you update/install busybox? That's the main cause of failed installs and soft bricks.

@ mikestony I'm on stock I haven't installed any roms. I only rooted and did not install bootloader.
@prl to the best of my knowledge I did not install busybox. I did a quick search and read titanium allows you to install busybox. Is the only for the pro?

You need to have an unlocked bootloader.
As far as TB, I don't think it installs Busybox, it just gives the option to use the ROM's busybox instead of it's own BB.

Since I'm rooted and have VZW gs3 can I just download ez-unlockfrom the play store and do it that way?

Fhose · Jan 22, 2013

I'll research installing busybox.

Mikestony · Jan 22, 2013

What version are you on? 4.1.1?

You'll have to lookup how to unlock the bootloader. There's an app floating around that can do it, but you can also do it manually. As for busybox, search for "busybox" on the market and install the first app that shows up. Then open it, and run the "smart install" option after it finishes loading. You will then have busybox installed.

Installed busybox looks to be good and unlocked the bootloader. How would I install the apk?

Fhose · Jan 22, 2013

@ mikestony yes 4.1.1

Hey there Mike! Can you school me in this 'Busy Box' thing? What would I need one for? As much as I have done with my devices (EVO & SGS3) I've yet to come upon anything that I 'needed' Busy Box... :thinking:

Isn't there a busy box associated with TiBU?

You're the best teacher as far as I'm concerned! I'm all ears.....

I kinda find it hard to understand myself!
All I know is, I used that app to keep the busybox updated for stuff, yes stuff, to work.
As far as TB using BB, it uses its own version, not the systems version.
Here is a good, albeit confusing read about it

I knew you'd come thru with somethin'!

WHOOOOEEEE! Dude, that is indeed confusing!!!:hmmmm2:

Can you remember an example of when you had to use BB? I'm serious about never having run into anything that asks for BB, but hey, maybe what I've done simply pales against what you do!

Haha I know you wanted a response from Mike, but maybe I can help ; ) Busybox is essentially the backbone of native shell commands on Linux systems. It's an executable that holds multiple methods, and when one of those methods is called, it executes the part of it's code that corresponds with the called command. My app uses busybox for "sed" and a few other commands that aren't normally packaged. Hopefully that helps!

Thanks! but I guess I need to know more about Linux and code etc to better understand that

I guess with no busy box, no Android OS?

Edit: and I don't want to derail this thread about that as that could be a whole other thread

THAT'S exactly what I thought! Just kidding

Well I think it's a wee bit over my head at this point but you guys are so ready and willing to explain, thanks!

On a semi-related note, installed perfectly, on setting up wallet it asks for NFC to be turned on, which I never have turned on. And apparently on CM10.1 once cannot turn it on, it's grayed out. So I'm stuck.. lol

Does CleanRom have working NFC on/off switch? My wife is gonna kill me if I spend another half day staring at my phone setting stuff up.
