Google Wallet Extends to More Nexus S Devices Thanks to Hack

9

Bummed that Sprint and Google decided to exclude all but Nexus S 4G owners in their Google Wallet launch? While we’re sure Google is working to get the service out to everyone, developers have taken it upon themselves to make all Nexus S devices compatible.

The job was done by XDA’s got2best and it requires a rooted device with the latest version of CyanogenMod – we’re hoping most of you are on that to begin with. From there, the process is pretty simple and straight forward if you know your way around a custom recovery. Be sure to find downloads and instructions at XDA and let us know how it goes if you happen to try it. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

  2. Here’s an alternate thread that doesn’t have any hacks, it just has flashable .zip with the stock waller app that works on the 9020a, 9020t, and 9023 with stock 2.3.6. Doesn’t require root, just an unlocked custom recovery. This one doesn’t work on Cyanogen though.
