Sorry if this has been posted, I read through a few threads but none of them had what I was looking for. I had been using google wallet quite regularly before they deactivated it, and would like to root now. Is there a way to root without messing up my secure element because I can not get into the app to clear my settings
I personally think you can just go into the app management settings clear the app and uninstall updates and you'll be fine. But if you want to make sure, you could try to temporary root (http://www.pocketables.com/2012/06/how-to-unlockroot-and-keep-your-stuff-on-the-htc-evo-4g-lte.html), clear the app manually (http://www.pocketables.com/2012/06/...google-wallet-settings-on-the-evo-4g-lte.html), and then you should be fine.
The instructions for clearing the app manually require root, but I think temporary root should give you the access you need.

It should answer your question.
That link doesn't actually answer the question. At the moment I can't even get INTO google wallet to clear the settings.
If all your doing is rooting then you will be fine without clearing wallet settings. If you start flashing roms then you have to get into wallet to clear settings. Clearing app data from outside google wallet will NOT prevent a bricked element. Only wallet has access to to the secure element. If you need to get into wallet you will have to do a build prop edit. No a build prop edit will not brick your element. Hope this helps.

Thanks just what I was looking for.
One question: If you root and unlock your bootloader, don't you hard reset your phone in the process?
I'm wondering this too and had the same thought about the hard reset after rooting being a necessary step.... I may be wrong since my previous attempts resulted in root followed by an immediate rom flash.
I want to root too but also want to maintain the secure element for future use.
Disregard

I was in same boat as you all but gave in.
I had already been in wallet before they broke it so no way to clear it.
I gave in and rooted my phone, than I s-off it and than installed custom recovery and now have installed the patched APK for wallet.
Guess what? Not once during any of this did I have to hard reset or brick my NFC.
My wallet now works. I did this because I do want to flash a rom but of course need to clear wallet first and couldn't do that until I rooted etc.
So you are fine to do everything so long as you don't mess up or hard reset.

Is there any site or source on the web that provides downloads of old versions of Android Market apps? This would be for apps that are now updated or no longer available on the Market? I am looking for a site similar to "OldVersion.com" which has some old/classic PC software (but this would be something for android apps instead)?
Thanks if anyone knows of a source or sites.
CustomShortcut gone?
The app that I am looking for in the above post was a free one called CustomShortcut APK. I now have it on one of my two phones (the other phone had it but was lost and replaced). I have tried looking for a developer page for this app but no luck as everything seems to point back to android market as the source link for download.
Does anyone know of a way or source for me to get this APK back on my other phone? Is there a way to copy it from one phone to the other? I am assuming that it was removed from the market because it may not be compatible with ICS but I am not running ICS. The application was made by appli.club.
Are you rooted? If so use root explorer to look for the .apk in the /system/app folder and copy or email it to the other phone and install it.

No sadly I am not rooted. Is that how this could be done? I have an HTC phone (Sensation) and I like my "sense" gui. Don't want to wipe it out by rooting (that is what would happen, right?) If access to the apk is possible with rooting, then I guess my question would be, does anyone else here have CustomCut on their rooted phone? (Or possibly know of any website that would have those apk's available for download). I would be willing to pay if someone would take the time to send me a replacement copy.
just google for any app you want like this:
"title" "versionnumber" "apk" "download"
for example:
android market 2.9 apk download

Rooting will not wipe out your phone or change it other than giving you super user privileges. That way you will have access to get to the system apps folder.
I notice apktop keeps old versions around. But part of the reason I like Titanium backup is because I have a fail safe if a new update to an app is bad, as I can just restore from the last backup the older version.

Well I am not really too concerned about it wiping out my phone, but I thought I had read many posts here talking about once you root your phone the native skin from the manufacturer is eliminated (for HTC that would be the "Sense" user interface). Can you please confirm? Is this not true? HTC Sense will remain exactly the same after rooting my phone?
The other thing that has made me cautious is that my phone runs perfectly now and I see so many threads on the xda boards here and over at various android forums that start off with "My ____ app is not working right since I rooted...." Just a little daunting for a newbie like myself.

Thanks very much for the site suggestion. I have been trying to search for the CustomShortcut APK over there but no luck ...so far (the site search is not that easy to use). I have even tried to seach the site externally using google but, unfortunately, still no luck.
Wait for someone else to confirm on the htc, but nothing changed on my droidx. I just had superuser privs. All of the "this app quit working" is when people flash custom roms. You don't do that when you just root. But you have to be rooted in order to do things like that. Lol.
Rooting gives you the power to do that if you want to.
When I rooted my droidx, I did it just so I could have the power to do other things if I wanted. I am still on factory rom. But I am able to get to parts of the phone that are off limits if I wasnt rooted. I made it where I could tether, later I got rid of bloatware, etc.

Thanks once again for the reply. Now that you mention it, I remember reading the terminology "flashed" rom and thought they were similar or the same thing as rooting. One other question, once a phone is in a rooted state, if I was to go in and copy the APK for my replacement phone and put it on there could I then "unroot" lol ...sorry if this is not a word... so that my phone was no longer open? I had read somewhere (perhaps I heard it on a TWIT or Android podcast) that when your phone is in root state that anyone (ie: potentially bad software) has easier access to your phone's vunerable areas.

yes you can unroot. As for easy access after you are rooted to vulnerable areas, they can only get access if you let them. If an app wants super user privileges, you will get a pop up from su(the super user apk) telling you that some app is wanting privileges. You can grant or deny access. The only things on my phone that have ever given me a pop up are things that i downloaded and know need su access. Wifi tether, root explorer, adfree, etc.
I have found a site that keeps older version of an android app. It's called Android Drawer.
Hope it helps

Its safe to root using Zeomax's method ONLY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577
I did this, plus the needed build.prop edits & my Google Wallet is back in action, funds & secure thing-ama-jig intact.
So go ahead. Even though you can't do any clearing operation now, the root method will not kill the secure element.
I rooted using the RegawMOD method without clearing Wallet and once I changed build.props Wallet is working fine.
So, deleting google wallet using titanium before clearing settings will even screw up your NFC?
I cant see ti find any information on Build.prop with Rooting.

Yes, it has nothing to do with the app data, it has to clear a value on the NFC chip itself and only Wallet can access the chip.

I was going to ask the same question. My Google Wallet was working fine until they turned it off for everyone. Google bought me some food at wawa with the 10 bucks. So now I got all the files I needed to root and flash a rom and I can't get into Wallet to clear it. Just like the OP, I don't want to bork the secure element in the NFC, but I want to root. I guess I'll just have to wait. DAMN

Editing the build.prop gets Google Wallet working again. You need to ROOT 1st in order to do anything to the build.prop file.

It seems to be that you have to root before you edit the build.prob file. I guess its a risk since you cant clear Wallet while not rooted, you can maybe mess up the Element chip thingy.

Yes, use the exploit to root instead of the unlock method.
Exploits are crummy, so I would only use it to root, edit your build.prop, access wallet, clear it, and then do HTC unlock (which will wipe your phone) and then flash custom recovery and then flash su.

Did u make a backup of the old gwallet in Titanium Backup? Uninstall new version and install previous version that worked.
Also, try over WiFi or network, whichever u aren't using. Remember my visa card not wanting to be added over 3g, had to use WiFi. Good luck

How do I make Androidlost app factory-reset-proof? I'm pretty amazed that this serious issue hasn't been answered yet in all those threads I searched regarding Androidlost.
As I understood it's possible for any rooted device to put an app in system/app and it would survive a factory reset, but the question is about the setting of this particular app, and I would be very grateful if someone who managed to do this successfully will share this step-by-step.

WOW, not a single answer? This is amazing...
As you said, you need to be rooted for that.Apk file would need to be transferred to system/app folder.
There's no way you can do it if you're not rooted.

I am rooted and I understood that.
I am asking if anyone has done this (or knows exactly how it is done), making Androidlost factory-reset-proof aka after a factory reset is this still working good? Aren't there any settings or any app data that also needs to be "saved" somehow to protect it in case of a factory-reset? I just put the apk in /system/app and all should be working perfectly??
LE: Come to think about it, it should be easy for me to test this... just make a nandroid backup first, right?
so has anyone been able to move an apk to /system/app AND find a way to make their settings for a particular app factory reset-proof? im trying to find a way to protect not just an app I have on my phone but also the settings

I am working on it.
So far I have managed to modify the kernel, to make it reinstall androidlost on every reboot. This would allow the app to survive any wipe, factory reset, firmware update, short of flashing the kernel itself!
The problem is the settings. I can easily add my own settings to my own custom kernel, but I doubt many people would want their phone to report to me. And asking everyone to modify the kernel themselves to store their own settings, is out of the question.
I have contacted the developer of androidlost to see if we can make it work so that it only needs to be configured once on a specific phone, and then it is tied to the IMEI. This way, the settings would survive anything, and would always get updated whenever the phone contacts androidlost servers.
ok, well what about building the apk and settings into a custom rom? such as, taking the stock rom (or mr robinson's root66 roms), installing the apk, set up the apk with whatever settings you want, then building a custom rom out of that? then, if you do a master reset, wouldnt the apk and settings be exactly as they were when u first made it? I hope that makes sense lol.
any news on this?

I'm very interested in learning how you modified your kernel to reinstall AndroidLost at every reboot AND how you put your own personal settings in the kernel so that they are applied to AndroidLost everytime!
If you wouldn't mind, could you possibly reply to this post, or send me a private message, explained how you modified the kernel and what I would need to do to input my own settings into my kernel? I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to rooting, flashing ROMs and kernel, and dabbling alittle in writing my own apps... So I shouldn't have too much trouble doing what you did if I could just get a little example and pointed in the right direction!

factory reset proof
I have been searching for a way to implement this and today i found this resource that you might find useful : (search) how to install any app as system app on android (addictivetips website) - sorry, i can't be allowed to post a link here.
I implemented one of those methods and i succeeded in making androidlost a system app in my phone. However, i havent tested whether it will still be useful after a factory reset due to loss of app settings (data).

Hi Folks,
I created this mod for the Galaxy S4 I9505, However I think this mod would work on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 as it running the same spec phone.
Could an experienced user test this mod and report back if it works, if not if they can upload the nfcnci.apk I will see if I can get the mod working on AT&T.
Before running the program please ensure you have a backup of nfcnci.apk and nfcnci.odex (if the file exists) depnending upon if your rom is odex or deodex just in case the mod does not work.
Now for the Mod
Lockscreen What this does is allows you to use nfc when the screen is on and in a locked status.
Screen Off Allows the use of NFC when the screen is off.
By default NFC only works when the phone screen is on and unlocked. (Suspect always had problem on this one as previously stated)
any feedback appreciated.
Remember to backup before flashing. for that just it case situation.
Enjoy Optimal
p.s. remember people that leaving the NFC on all the time can leave you phone open to security breaches. so please be careful when using this mod.
I can report that screen off mod works. Going to try lockscreen next. Dont know how i feel about NFC being on when screen is off.

thanks @DJsCrIBbLe for testing. In terms of screen off version it will be a security risk, However a number of users have requested it. I suppose they will just need to ensure they take all relevant security precautions. and protection of there phone
Because NFC can be breached and could cause all sorts of issues and hacks.
anyway thanks for testing its much appreciated.

Replace /system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so
Replace /system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot
Setup Google Wallet as you would normally. Get it completely initialized.
Restore build.prop to normal settings
Reboot
The original post includes two different methods of doing this, and I think both involve flashing a zip file from recovery. I don't like flashing zips like that, so I disassembled it and came up with the procedure above. ^_^

Install Xposed Mod
Install Wallet Xposed module (hides root and phone model from Wallet's built-in search) and enable the module
Edit /system/build.prop to fool Wallet into thinking it's a Galaxy Nexus
Stop the system

Too bad. I'm getting constant FCs on I9505 with Google Edition port ROM. I tried the lockscreen mod only.

Any chance I/we could get a zip to disable this mod. I'd like to try the mood in xposed framework to see if I still get the NFC payment crash.
