Google Wallet - No Root Needed :)

[Andhily]

All you have to do is side load the apk I have it on my stock 4.0.2 Gnex right now with the $10 prepaid card and everything

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service


Now if only someone could explain to me exactly how this works so I don't make an idiot out of myself at Wawa lol


EDIT: Some people have been saying this is a "modded apk" throughout the thread.. obviously you install this at your own risk but just for some clarification

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20404813&postcount=350

The standard Google APK works on ICL53F / 4.0.2

Just tested this ; NO FC's - No errors on provisioning card, etc.

This was pulled off by another user, I MD5'd it to the version I got from a Sprint Nexus S

MD5: 3729ced6fbee0c8c642fe074e893846f

NOTE: I installed this on ICL53F CLEAN install with NO older Wallet ever present. I did NOT wipe or do anything else. So as long as Wallet was NEVER installed on your /system partition or you didn't replaced NFC files this should just work out of the box. If you ever did any of the above get a clean ICL53F installed FIRST (root or no root, doesn't matter) [mine was rooted but a friend got it working no root]

so there you cant get google wallet on your GN so what is it we are supposed to use for NFC payment at stores???????

GSM Galaxy Nexus has Google Wallet.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus does not. You have to root to get it on your GN. Never tried ^this guys method

No Nexus other than the Sprint Nexus S has Google Wallet available through the Android Market. I have both the GSM and the LTE Galaxy Nexus.

I tried to add more than the $10 it gave me for activating it. When I went to add $100 it took it from my bank then it refunded it immediately. I wouldn't add.

Tried the above apk and loads fine on VZW GNex. Have not paid with it yet, definitely loads fine on phone. does not need root.

i knew that, but i thought that the GSM version had it, guess im wrong.
all i know is that i had to root to get Google Wallet on my Verizon GN

How do you use a virtual number? I used my debit card from my bank and was hesitant to do it.

citibank has a virtual account number tool for anyone that has a citi credit card. I think some other banks have this too but not sure.

here is the website for how it works with Citi:

its really convenient

Edit: BofA and Discover have a similar thing

Loads fine for me as well w/o root. Guess I'm going shopping tomorrow!

Ahh, I don't have a CitiCard.

$20 added from a Chase card....now I guess I just wait for my ID theft insurance company to call me, right?

 

[Graham84]

The app installed fine for me but its been trying to activate the Google prepaid card for 5 minutes now... is that normal? I'm on a working Wifi connection.

Edit: Restarted my phone and the activate complete.

This app is really laggy for me; does anyone else notice that?

 

[bobwiley]

Installed fine for me, along with the sweet free $10. Visa can be used to add funds right?

I just successfully added $100 to my card. I like the offers tab. Plan on using some of them this week prior to Christmas.
