This still works, albeit with slightly changed instructions. You can’t find it on the phone anymore. Just email
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel to yourself, and then open it on the phone. The instructions are basically step 4 and onwards.

Just did it on my non rooted 4.0.4 phone.

Steps:
1. Email the link to yourself.
2. Open it in the stock browser.
3. Click on install in the stock browser.
4. Log in with account details.
5. It sent me right back with an install button.
6. Clicked install, and now I am setting up my cards.

I am getting this message after rooting and trying to use wallet…

Some users may disable important security mechanisms in order to gain system-level “root” access to their phone. We strongly discourage doing so if you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with unauthorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be limited.

Neither this, nor the link, nor the method by droid-life works for me. All I get is a blank area where the accept&download should be.

This did not work as of today. I just get a Google Wallet page with no options at all in the Play store.

Still have the old app on my phone, though, since I installed it way back.

This hack must have been fixed in an update. I was able to install Wallet on my phone a month or so ago, but it won’t work with my wife’s phone today.

wouldnt work for me here in New Zealand with my Galaxy Nexus and the new Play store

Very sad I cant install it, I’m sure I have nothing to actually use it with, but it would be nice having the app to see how it works, to show others “….one day…..eventually…we’ll all be able to pay just like this….”

These instructions seem to be out of date.

The link provided above redirects you now to play.google.com/store

Of course the phone keeps trying to take me to the Play application, but I persist with the browser.

When I find Wallet I am asked which device to install it on:
1. Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus
2. phone

both give me a message that This item is not available on your carrier

Verizon seems to have gone a long way to stopping this function on this phone.

Step 0: Log out of Google in your browser–this only works when you have to be prompted to Sign In as part of Step 5.

I cannot get this to work. After I sign in it gives me an overlay page asking for the device, when I hit the back button, it goes back to the search results page and does not ask for browser or play. It does ask if I hit back twice, but then it goes to google wallet on play and says it will not install on the nexus.

Why has Verizon blocked this? Isn’t the NFC and payment features suppose to be big seller for the phone?
