Hi, I'm new to the LG brand of phones, but I've had just about ever other brand. I wanted to know if LG phones have been able to use Google Wallet, and if someone can test Google Wallet on a VZW G2. I'm thinking about picking it up as my upgrade soon, but also was considering the GS4 since I know I can get wallet to function on that easily. Obviously I know information on this at this point is going to be scarce, but I hope someone can shed some light on this for me!

I tried to load google wallet yesterday with no success. ISIS wallet installed fine but would not work with my older SIM w/o NFC security element
So it would not install for you ?

I understand this. Its the same story for all other VZW phones. Except the GS4 can use it just fine so long as you have root and the MoDaCo Toolkit. Granted the GS4 has a secure element which Google Wallet requires. My main question is I guess.... does the G2 have an onboard secure element? ISIS require a secure element Sim card to use. Google Wallet only looks for an internal one.
Now that we have root for all variants of the G2, can someone test this out? The directions from this thread should help out a bit. Although this is all assuming that the G2's firmware has the required Libs as well.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could test this!
How about At&T version of G2 ? Anybody tryed yet?
Google wallet says not compatible on at&t, and Isis will not run if u are rooted...

The G2 is designed for ISIS and not supported by Google Wallet in the US.

Google needs to end the block. It's eliminating competition by blocking Google wallet.
ISIS can actually run on rooted roms now. Search it up. People have been running it on the Droid DNA for a bit now. Google isn't the one who is blocking Wallet by choice. Verizon, AT&T, & T-mobile are all on the ISIS bandwagon, and do not allow Google Wallet to run on their network officially . Normally you should be able to use any legal software on your carrier according to the FCC, but Verizon is actually getting around this by not including secure elements in phones but instead moving the secure element to the SIM card which Google Wallet does not check at the moment.
Since I don't have a G2 yet, I can't test the things I would like to. The thread I linked to previously here should give some instructions on how to install Google Wallet from the Play Store and see if it functions. Like i said we may need some lib files though from a Sprint variant. Usually Sprint is the only carrier to support Google Wallet on their devices. Ultimately the VZW G2 may not have an on-board secure element, and we may just be stuck using ISIS unless Google codes Wallet to look for an external SIM SE.

Nope, Google wallet would not install and ISIS would not activate since my SIM did not have the NFC security element.
I tried closed framework and every module I could find, but couldn't get Google wallet to install, nor Isis to get past the root block. any ideas?

Try this module with xposed framework. It's worked for me in the past to get Wallet installed from the market on my Droid DNA. You need to edit your build.prop though to match a supported device like the Nexus 4/Galaxy Nexus. MoDaCo Toolkit module has a nice build.prop edit section you can use.
Once you get it installed, don't change the build.prop back until you go through the wallet setup (if it even launches)
From what I'm reading from you guys here, it seems that even installing wallet is a challenge! I always thought that was the easy part lol. The hard part is dealing with if it actually functions or not :/

Nah the Google wallet installer will not run on unsupported devices (a la the build.prop changes) with or without the module. Same deal on most other phones that aren't explicitly a nexus. Do you have a list of what I need to change the build.prop to to allow install? I'll give it another try. But I bet the "secure element" being in the Sim will put the kabosh on all of this anyways. ****ing Verizon.. man.

I can see the wallet app but it 'isnt compatible with my device' from the store.
I did, however, order an NFC Secure Element SIM and got it today, and set up my ISIS... but it only accepts American Express and Chase (not VISA) so I can't test it out.
It does work though (loads at least).

OK, apparently GWallet updated today and it just hasn't rolled out to all devices. If you get the compatibility issue it just hasn't rolled out to you.

The new APK does install and work, aside from Tap to Pay. Says "Not available". So we still need some new method of getting out Secure Element Sims supported. if that's possible. My SE sim should be here on thursday. I'll do some digging.

Is there, or will there be a way to use google wallet on the non sprint S3s? With or without root or rom?
There has to be some info on this out there. Is Google Wallet just a gimmick or will this really take off? If so I would think AT$T and Verizon being bigger providers than Sprint, there would have to be the ability to get these to work with it.

there is info on this, if you search.
wallet is only support officially by sprint. the rest of the carriers you will have to find the modded apk for wallet.
(also, i hit the thanks button accidentally instead of 'quote' on your post, so free thanks for you!)
I searched, but anything that comes up is about Sprint having it and AT&T not...But at least I know that it will be possible at some point.
The question is if the At&t version has a secure element. If it doesn't, then there is no chance.

How do we go about finding something like that out? If they are wanting their version of the s3 to work with some other "google wallet" type system, it would seem it would have all the same requirements. I dont see them killing the ability completely, just had the software side removed. But who knows what these guys will do these days.
Att is developing their own system with some other carriers called ISIS. Probably not a chance to get Google wallet working on the att version.

EDIT: That only works on rooted devices, my bad
Having to root it is not a big deal, I just wanted to know it was possible to use it if the need came up. Right now I dont think NFC payments are big enough to consider a must have, but if the day comes that 8 of 10 shops use some sort of nfc payment system it will change my mind for sure. I just like to know that I can do something. Im sorta waiting to root as well Its running like a champ and everything that i use daily is working without a root. Once a nice easy one click is out that will not trip the counter I will go for it, or if some app or ability that I just have to use requires it. But just enjoying the phone for now as is

Maybe now that so many are getting this phone we will see some work being done to figure this out.
to get it to work you will need to fudge the phone into thinking it's connected with Sprint using Market Enabler or equivalent. That's I had to do on my G Nexus in canada.
so, for some reason, i installed it, it loads but i get this message, and just stopps.
"Initializing your device. this make take a few min...... blahh blahh.. "
thats it..
Worked for me on Canadian sgs3...
I'll try post instructions for it tomorrow evening.

I switched to verizon from sprint and my gs3. Sprint's service sucked, but the GS3 was awesome... I like the battery life of the maxx hd, however. One thing I cannot stand is Verizon's (probably) illegal blocking of apps like Google Wallet. On Sprint, I used Google Wallet frequently. That brings me to the point of this post:
I am starting a bounty for the first person that is able to provide instructions/code/apk/something that allows me to install Google Wallet on my rooted Verizon RAZR MAXX HD non developer edition phone running the verizon JB leak and successfully complete an NFC transaction. The transaction test will be done at a business that works perfectly with sprint phones, in order to keep it fair.
Bounty: $20. I know it isn't a lot, but I am hoping others will chip in as well. My portion of the bounty will be paid via paypal.
I've tried sideloading the apk, installing it as a system app, installing a modified apk, trying market enabler, etc, etc. I am willing to follow your instructions but please have it working for yourself before you send me something if you want to collect the bounty.
have you tried flashing the modified Google wallet apk from here?

It worked on my s3 when my carrier didn't support gw.
I don't actually have an hd yet, picking one up black Friday, once I have one I'll be working on this.

You need to realize there will never be an easy way to get Google Wallet on your phone. Part of the setup process even with hacked apks is on Google's servers that check the phone model. Only way around this is to edit your build prop which requires root. Its not easy and will never be unless Google wants it to be. Just fyi

Maybe things have changed, but when my carriers s3 wasn't supported, I just changed the phone model in build prop, installed the apk in system, rebooted, set up Google wallet, then reverted to my original build prop and everything was good to go.
Once it was registered the phone model didn't matter.
Or maybe not, Maybe they've updated their security protocol since then.

Threads like this are really against what XDA stands for and is for. Should the developer have a donate button, that's okay, but to pay someone to do it won't be allowed.
I know AT&T is working on ISIS and likely won't allow google wallet out of the box, but other phone devs have figured out ways to make it work. What are the chances of this happening for the GS4?
Lol we dont even have root yet. Give it time.
Well, I was waiting for the entire life of the HTC One X for Wallet use and never got it... Maybe it will be different with Samsung *crosses fingers* :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I've been using GWallet on my SIII for a long time, hopefully ogdobber or someone else from the Google wallet fix for SGS3 thread will be able to work their magic on the S4 because it's something I certainly enjoy using it!
I used Google Wallet a lot on my Sprint S III. I didn't know AT&T blocked it.

they block it so they can use their own app called ISIS, which is freaking vaporware as far as I'm concerned. Why block GWallet on everything if you don't have your own software ready yet??

Because money.
Hi, I've done some searching but I don't see that anyone has posted anything about getting Isis to work on a Nexus 4. I'm on AT&T and I have the Isis SIM, so I'm assuming all I need to do is hide root from the app and make the app think i'm on a supported device, like the HTC One. But I have no clue how to start with that.
PS I want to use Isis because they have 20% cashback up to 200 bucks if you use their app to make purchases. Otherwise i'd use Google Wallet which works like a charm.
I've been wondering the same thing I know there's a lot of animosity towards Isis but I want to take advantage of all the offers that come with it. I'm also on at&t and have the secure element Sim but I can't get the app to install. I've tried editing my build prop to say I have a galaxy siii and moto x but can't get it to install. I believe it need some libs ported to it or something. Maybe if somebody could port them from the moto x or something it would work

I am on the same boat. I came to the N4 from a cheap LG F6 and ISIS worked like a charm there (on rooted, no less).
Not so much with the N4. Trying to install the app using 'adb install' gave the INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY error, so I'm guessing we're missing some required NFC/ATT specific libs (Google wallet seems to work fine, though)? Not sure.
You can 'adb push' it as a system APK. This way, it'll open up but complain about 'ROOT'. Once you go through with Xposed/Root-cloak after, it'd just force close. I'm stuck at that point. Didn't try editing the build.prop to spoof the phone make/model yet.
Is anyone aware of VZW Note 3 solution that allow Google Wallet's tap and pay to work? Searched high and low and came up empty.
Do not want to go the Isis.

as of now, no. Ive' tried the workarounds given in the Galaxy S4 forums to no avail
Does isis work? I tried searching for it in the play store but couldn't find it.
ISIS does work, and the 2.0 update has made the app a lot more usable. If you pair it with an AMEX Serve card, and set the Serve card up so that it's funded directly from another credit card, it can work almost as well as Google Wallet. Plus, the Jamba Juice million smoothie promo is worth the price of entry by itself. If the app's not showing up on the Play Store, this thread has it (you can ignore the Xposed stuff if you're not rooted, but it's also a nice guide on how to get ISIS working if you are rooted): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482708
However, I second the OP's question, as I would much prefer to use Google Wallet over ISIS. As I understand it, there's a snag in fixing the NFC Libs, and this thread details the current state of the attempts to get tap-to-pay working on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476093
Hopefully we'll see some progress soon. Meanwhile, ISIS isn't a...terrible alternative, in its current iteration. It's just not as good as Wallet by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't believe there is anyway to get it to work right now because of a secure element in the sim, but from what I understand if/when we get 4.4 it should be good to go.
