How to get Google Wallet (from Play Store) on all Galaxy Nexus! OP updated.

From your phone open the browser and head to https://play.google.com/store. (Tip: You may want to clear data and defaults on browser and Market before doing this.)
Search for “Google Wallet.” (If your browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. Just stay in the browser.)
When the results come back, tap on the Google Wallet icon.
Tap the “Install” button from within the browser and then sign into your Google account. (Again, this is all from the browser, not the Market app.)
Once you have signed in, you should be redirected back to the Market page in the browser.
Tap the back button until you are prompted for the Market or Browser again, this time choosing the Market.
The Android Market should open to the Google Wallet page with an option to install.
**Note 1: It has recently come to my attention that you will have to change to a Google build (although some custom ROM's are fine) in order for this to work for you.
**Note 2: If you are an international user, you must be rooted and have the app MarketEnabler installed. You can use T-Mobile or you can use my untested method of using AT&T as your carrier and may not need to take any of the steps above.
**Note 3: I highly recommend installing the older apk from the Themes and Apps subforum.
**Note 4: If Google Wallet throws up a banner that says "Unsupported Device," it's nothing to worry about. It's because you're rooted!
Here's a video tutorial to help! updated video.
Thought I'd share this because it worked perfect for my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile. Enjoy!

Here's a couple screen shots.

Very creative idea, I love it! Unfortunately I am unable to make this work on my Verizon GS. After I sign in I get the screen in the screenshot. When I hit back and choose market it takes me to the market, but there is no google wallet.

Did you try clearing your data on both the browser and Market? It should help. If you did, try it a couple times! It will eventually work.

I tried clearing the data on the browser, but not the market. Trying now...

I had to clear data and cache on market and browser and try a couple times before it actually got around the "this item is not available for your carrier" message in the Market app, I had logged in on market.android.com, then after choosing browser for the app and it logged in, hit back and the chooser came up again then used Market and it opened straight to the install prompt and worked

Another success story! That's what I like to see.

No luck for me. Why is Google making this difficult? Seems like they'd want us to use it.

The procedure I used was actually posted on engadget yesterday, but OP's is pretty much the same... don't know if they fixed it by now but it did work for me overnight. It's basically logging in on the browser then getting lucky when you back out and choose the market instead it goes right to the accept & install screen instead of the first app screen where it has the info for it and says "this is not available from your carrier"

It's working for me. My problem was I was clearing the browser data after every failure. It seems like the first time will fail every time, but if you sign out and start the browser process over without clearing the data it works.

"If it doesn’t work right away, just sign out of the Android Market website from your browser and try the steps again. I tried this on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it worked on the 2nd try. " It worked exactly that way for me. Thanks again!! Words can't describe how excited I am!!!

Guys i need help this is really weird.

Me and my friend both have a galaxy nexus. Running 100% stock 4.0.2
Same baseband same version number blah blah blah...
I had his phone earlier and noticed his music app was now called play music but mine was still just music.
I tried to search for the app on the market but it doesnt show up.
If i go on the market from a PC it shows up and says its compatible with my device.
I then noticed that my play movies was missing from my app drawer.
Again i loaded up market and there it was but it says installed!!!
I clicked on the app and it says update. I click update and it just says "error your order is being processed" and then it never updates.
I can open the app from the market but it doesnt show up on my phone at all.
It wont even show up if i go into setting>apps> and look under the all apps tab.
Can anyone help me out with this? What the hell is up with my phone???

Yeah i cleared google play store cache and data and turned phone off for 30 minutes while i was working and its still the same.

Try getting 'market enabler' and temporarily spoofing the T-mobile network (US), then see if your able to update.

Update...
I logged onto the market through my PC and it let me install the play movies app to my device no problem.
The play music app though says installed and if I click to install again it says it will be installed but it never does.
This must be available in the UK because my friend has it on his device running exact same firmware as me...
Why the hell won't this thing install!!?!?!?!?

Google Music is not available in the UK yet. The app comes pre installed but is not available when looking at the market. If your having issues downloading or updating from the market then install it manually (apk here!)

So im supposed to have the purple headphones icon thats just called "music" right?
Not the gold headphones?
I just quizzed my friend about it to see if theres something hes not telling me and he swears hes still 100% stock and hasnt done anything to get the play music apk.
if you could just confirm that im supposed to have the purple headphones icon called music that would be great.
Thanks for replies guys really appreciated.

This Logo?
This is what the logo was until it was rebranded to Google Play Music. Which is now this logo
Both of these logos are for the same app, just different versions (with no actual feature differences).
Your friend may have had the newest version of google music pushed to his phone. This happened to me too. But don't worry, your not actually missing anything.

Yeah thats right i have the grey and orange icon ( sorry for some reason though it was purple ) and my friend has the gold icon.
LOL i have just noticed at the very bottom of the description of the app on the market it says available in the US only... Wish i read that earlier <<noob>>
I guess i just leave it then and see if it updates in its own time.
thanks for the replies you was very helpful.
Ill hit the thanks button when i get home. Im on a work computer that has 100 year old internet explorer on it so it doesnt display the page properly.

nope it's not only available in the us. I live in Germany and today I've got an update which installed play music play books and play movies. they don't work here either but I still got that update.

Thats interesting. Are you sure your not spoofing your carrier for the market? Otherwise Google might be rolling the app out outside of the states now

OK update...
The music app showed up in my market as an update just now so I have the play music version....
I still can't get the play movies to show up in the my apps part of the play store. If I search for the app manually it shows up and says installed. It just doesnt show up as installed in the my apps part.
And yeah they must be pushing the app out to other places now. I can't see how you sync though unless that's not available yet still for UK .

Are you talking about syncing your own collection via Google Music in the UK? It is possible because I've done it... and its awesome!! Just have a search on Google for 'google music uk' or something and I'm sure you'll find a tutorial. (Be warned, depending on your library size it may take a while to upload your music. Mine took about a month off and on)

Nono,
I have the app installed no problem from the market.
The issue is if i go into the "my apps" part the app isnt listed as installed on my device.
But if i do a manual search for the app as if you was looking for something new to install it shows up in the list and says installed.
Im wondering why its not showing in the "my apps" part of the market?

Oh right. Well I just had a look on mine and I can't find it either. It could either be a bug within the market or a feature that google added (for some unthinkable reason). But I'd guess everyone has this issue. Nothing to worry about though really

[APP]Google Maps latest version

Installing Google Maps is a regular problem for me, because everytime that a new version comes up, i'm unable to download it because of restrictions in my country (Chile).
It's not easy to find the latest version (at the moment of this writing i think it's 6.8.0) .
If someone can upload the updated apk i'll be very pleased.
The most recent version that i can found searching the internet was the 6.6 so, if it's useful to somebody the link is here:
REMOVED
If there's a method to avoid country limitations please tell me, because Market Enabler and similars are not working anymore.
Thanks!

Latest maps, unzip it, install, This is version 6.8.0
124 views and nobody uploaded maps? Weird.

I can't see maps in google play, or in my apps (on google play), but you can update it like this:
Go to maps, settings, what's new, update.

You need to keep market enabler enabled at all times, at least i do and it works.

I make it a habit of running it and selecting T-Mobile US every time my phone reboots and before connecting online. Let it change your APN, then it will always work. Also replace your Play Store vending apk with the mod version, then you should be good. If you need to buy any app, open the app page in the browser.

Probably because Google can hit XDA with a cease and desist and cause all sorts of trouble. You are not allowed to distribute google apps.

Google Wallet not updating to the latest version

Hello everyone,

Play Store on my device doesn't show any update available for that. Please help.

here is the latest APK
Wallet 1.5-R75-v6

Thank you very much, I was able to update the app through web-based Play Store despite saying "The app is not compatible with your device".

Oh no, Right now whenever I try to open the app it returns the "Not supported" error. It says "Unfortunately Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network"
How is this possible? It was working fine 3 days ago.

Where are you located?
Have you tried updating the app through the Nexus 7?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ajor-credit-and-debit-cards-goes-cloud-based/
Go there. There's link to the play store to update through there or get the apk through a few mirrors, which I think are still ok. Maybe clear data and/or reinstall?

I wasn't actually able to update my wallet either, even when I was on Stock. I live in the US as well, so region shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah region isn't causing problem, The weird thing is that I hard reset my Nexus 7 and now the Wallet icon is disappeared. But I could update it through the web-based Play Store. The Google Play Magazines' icon is gone too but the application is installed because I can see it from Airdroid. Anyone?
[EDIT]: Realized I disabled the app through wallet.google.com before hard resetting. Now I can't find any where to re-enable it.

Well mine is the latest version, but now says device not supported even if I unroot it.

Yes, we are stuck. I installed 3.5 AT&T but doesn´t work either. The only thing I could get is Swiftkey

I've been able to successfully install Google play services, account manager and the services framework previously. Managed to get apps such as YouTube, gmail and others to run without crashing. Problem is, I used specific versions and I can't remember which ones they were ? I'm trying to find out what I did right and then I can document it so I won't forget again lol. Bare with me.
Google play store is a no go on 3.6.6 though. Use 1mobile or something instead.

The method that lu1gj3s posted above would require rooting, as that's the same method for all Kindle Fire tablets. As for the Fire Phone I assume it's the guaranteed to way to make it work
Has anyone tried Baidu root or something similar? I think I'll give it a try tomorrow and then go through the method of putting Google Play on again

no haven't messed on that much with it yet as I am waiting for a couple of nano sims to arrive for the 2 that I bought. im not that bothered about the play store itself but more about maybe gmail, google chrome and you tube.

Well as you've had people say that the downgrade to 3.5 from 3.6.6 works I guess I'll give it a try
But no harm in trying Baidu Root first

Can you update to 3.6.8? In that version there's no problem with Google Apps

ya same here 3.6.6 no google play
ya im in Ireland got phone for 99pound need google play badly need to update to 3.6.8

If anyone hasn't yet figured out that play store won't work on any version of 3.6.6 haven't even tried to solve the problem by looking it up.
I've got it all working but every now and then get play services have stopped coming up on my phone (if anyone knows how to get rid of that let us know, thanks). I've used blackmart but most of all I use aptoide for all my apps. What I have noticed as well any apps that confirm purchases with play store load up.
I have to say, the fire phone with Google services and gapps is 1 of the best phones out. I think it's great and while they've hacked the price, I'd hope more devs would invest more time in to roms and other goodies. £99 you'd have to be stupid not to get 1.

+1 here..
"google services framework has stopped"
the process "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped
Have tried numerous guides to get this to work on 3.6.6 and none of them work for me, and yes i've looked it up
If not how about being helpful and providing a link or copy and pasting the guide that works?, GoogleFu isnt working out for me.
All the youtube guides and plagiarised articles i can find all reference the same method that doesn't work out.
Alternatively they recommend moving them to system apps which you cant do unless you're rooted and that would mean a downgrade to 3.5
