I am having the same error message when installing the Kindle app from Google Play.
Following your advice, i did a copy of the packages.xml, and deleted the shared-user ID section for com.amazon, restarted the phone, wipe the Dalvik cache and restarted again. When the phone turned on all the google apps (Play, Maps, etc) gave error messages, so I had to restore the xml file.

Any ideas? :confused:

packaches.xml will restored after reboot!

Hey experts.

I've a problem installing Go SMS Pro. Installing this as a APK-package got an "installation failed" error. Trying to install from the market cause this error:

"Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"

So I've tried the suggested method in firtst post, but neither commenting out the entry nor deleting this seems to be working. Everytime after reboot the old packages.xml will be restored. Will this file temporary stored in the memory or somewhere else outside the \data\system\ directory?

I also have tried to delete every entry created by Go-SMS in \data\system\packages-stoped.xml, \data\system\packages.list, \data\system\packages.xml.
Also deleted \data\data\gosms-folder, data\apps\ go-sms apk, cleaning cache and dalvik-cache - everytime without success.

Can someone help me?

thx in advance!

go to Settings---> Apps---> All---> Google Play Store
clear Data and Cache
and Settings---> Apps---> All---> Google Framework Services
clear Data and Cache.

then try to install it again. if not work try again what i've said above then reboot :) then try again to install

DO NOT try this! Completely messed up my Play Store and having issues with Play Services now as well. Thumbs Down,

    EDIT 31aug2012: also this message appears if there is no "classes.dex" in the apk

    Hi,

    When you try to install certain apk you might get this error when using "adb install something.apk"

    Andoid creates "shared users" like app_1 app_3 etc for packages you install. These UID's are like 10001, 10002, 10003 etc.

    Sometimes the administration of these shared users gets messed up and you get error messages like:

    INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE


    The shared user administration is kept in /data/system:

    -rw-rw-r-- system system 129933 2011-08-15 12:08 packages.xml


    How to solve? You need a rooted phone and adb:

    adb shell chmod 666 /data/system/packages.xml

    adb pull /data/system/packages.xml


    Now edit (notepad++) and remove the shared user in question xml block from the file:
    Code:
    <shared-user name="com.navngo" userId="10000">
    <sigs count="1">
    <cert index="4" />
    </sigs>
    <perms>
    <item name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <item name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD" />
    <item name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <item name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <item name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <item name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
    <item name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <item name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
    <item name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
    <item name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <item name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
    <item name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
    </perms>
    </shared-user>

    adb push packages.xml /data/system

    adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*

    adb reboot


    Now you should be able to install that apk.

    Cheers

    This problem might also be solved using ad uninstall command. (only for user apps)

    Lets keep the same program as above as an example the you type from a dos box:

    adb uninstall com.navngo.igo.javaclient

    Now install it again. You need to know the package name. You can open the apk with winrar/zip and view the AndroidManifest.xml file. There you see the package name.

    Cheers

    Comment out shared-user name="android.uid.shared" xml block

    Hi,

    I followed the instructions to remove section of android.uid.system in packages.xml. But after reboot, I felt that this file was re-generated and overwritten by system itself. I still can't install my app due to the same incompatible error.

    Any help? Thanks!


    Hi,

    It worked for me... All you want to do is just comment out the block of XML elements under <shared-user name="android.uid.shared" userId="10012">

    Note: I have "Su" permission in my Device.

    This is is how i did

    <!-- <shared-user name="android.uid.shared" userId="10012">
    <sigs count="1">
    <cert index="3" />
    </sigs>
    <perms>
    <item name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" />
    <item name="com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.mail" />
    <item name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <item name="com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.cp" />
    <item name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
    <item name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
    <item name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
    <item name="com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH" />
    <item name="android.permission.READ_SYNC_STATS" />
    <item name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <item name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
    <item name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />
    <item name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
    <item name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <item name="android.permission.SUBSCRIBED_FEEDS_READ" />
    <item name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
    <item name="android.permission.SUBSCRIBED_FEEDS_WRITE" />
    <item name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
    <item name="android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
    </perms>
    </shared-user> -->

    android.uid.system (id 1000) is used for installing packages and I think this trick only works for 10.000 and higher id's.

    Use google to find out more about the problem: https://www.google.com/search?num=40&hl=en&q=android.uid.system
