"System UIDs Inconsistent" with JF1.5

Hello All:
Here is a rundown...
Started with JF1.42-RC33 with Apps, Data, Dalvik to SD...
Went to JF1.5 without a wipe and then updated the radio.
All of this went fine. Now when I start up the phone, it
gives me the "System UIDs Inconsistent" message. I press
the button and then everything loads fine. All 125 Apps
are there, Market works correctly, notes are still there,
and I have tested every App and there are no issues.
Loving the new ROM by the way... no stability issues so
far.
The message on the phone says to wipe the data. If there
is not other way to get rid of the nagging error then so
be it... I still have my Nandroid backup from the JF1.42
image.
Just wanted to see if there was possibly a way to fix this
in ADB or the recovery console...
Also, it is in my nature to try and understand these things.
Could this have happened because my /data directory is
on the SD and therefore was not cleared during the Flash
process? Just guessing...
Any ideas?

wipe and re-set your symbolic links .. all your apps will be back but not their data..

Thanks... I guess I will just take the easy way out and wipe the phone... I have tried various ADB and busybox commands to no avail... What I do not understand is the phone works perfectly after the Nag screen is gone... No force closes... no missing functionality...
I will not do the wipe until this afternoon... Just in case some Linux guru has any ideas...
L8r,
Vermithrax

Unless the nag screen bothers you, or shows up more than once per boot, Id leave it. If you start seeing instability or forcecloses then Id wipe.
Unless there is a good reason to Id avoid a wipe. Of course I dont have OCD so one nag per reboot wouldnt bother me. If you do or it does bother you then yeah wipe.

Solved... For me at least...
I had solved this problem some time ago, but I just thought I would add this to the thread in case others find their way here through a search...
All I did was move the /data/data back to the internal memory...
rm /data/data
busybox cp -a /system/sd/data /data
rm -r /system/sd/data /data
reboot
Had a couple of stale NFS file errors, so I could not really delete the /data directory from the /system/sd. However, there are threads that help with this issue.

Probably the cleanest solution HERE

Not enough room to update app?

I'm trying to update a LWP from the market but after it downloads it says it can't install due to 'insufficient storage'. I have roughly 45-47 apps (this includes apps, skins for better keyboard, and LWP's) after deleting a few apps and I still get this error. Any idea why? I'm holding off on going the APP2SD route until after the official 2.1 is released and our devs make it worthy of installation.
Under 'running services' it says: Avail 48mb+0.00b in 8 Other 0.00b in 4
In 'internal phone storage' it says: 19.02mb available
Currently running Fresh 2.0d
Also, does anyone know why Keepscreen from the market runs at startup? I only want to use it with Google Nav, which isn't often, and it bugs me that its in running services at every boot. If this cannot be adjusted, what similar app is out there than only runs when needed?

google nav stays up on its own for me, check the settings. And you may be out of room in the dalvik cache or the data/data section. Had that problem, so I enabled a2sd for dalvik cache, and no prob now. Running 102 apps, showing 88mb free internal storage.

Well I tried clearing cache using cachemate, cleared dalvik in recovery, and deleted 3 games bringing my available internal storage to 35mb and still can't update the LWP that has the update available.

Why isnt a2sd worthy of installation?
we had it on 1.5 with source and everything to it.
Its the same thing on 2.1, nothings changed.
The Only change would be on 1 rom that can use ext4 now.
When 2.1 is released a2sd wont be changed.

I get this error with handcent updates on fresh 2.0d also. After it errors I have to go into recovery and "fix apk uid" mismatches or i cant install it. Also i am using a2sd 2.5, Probably of no help, just sharing.

I had the same problem with 2 apps I tried to update and got out of memory errors.
I used root explorer and went to /data/data and deleted the app, after that I was able to install.

Oh its worthy, I made sure to buy a class 6 to use it. I just don't want to go through the trouble of setting it up until we get an optimized official 2.1 so I can format my card and get everything set so I don't have to make any big changes. I'm a bit burnt out from the dozen 2.1 flashes of different roms.

I just saw an update for another app and it worked, but still not the LWP. I uninstalled/reinstalled and everything is ok now. Go figure. My phone was also being really slow and a lot of processes were stalling after wiping dalvik but seems like its behaving now.

Angry birds pigs wont die after 1.4.2 update and data restore??

So I have had issue after issue getting the new version to even INSTALL.. but finally got it after totally deleting the older 1.3.5 version and wiping cache, restart etc.. new install of 1.4.2.. everything works fine....
BUT....
After using titanium backup to restore data there is some kind of bug that makes the birds virtually worthless. I get the data back (levels etc) but when I go try to beat an old level the birds litterally bounce off the pigs without causing ANY damage.
Ive done this 3 different time now, totally removing the game, reinstalling, verified to work "normal" before data restore... and again, not working after the data is refreshed.
PLEASE HELP!

Fix for "Application not installed message" and "Installation unsuccessful" on Rooted HTC Hero with FroydVillain 1.5.
I couldn't install Angry Birds and some other applications on the Market after installing
FroydVillain 1.5 and after some debugging I found out why. There seems to be a problem related to
the file "/mnt/secure/asec/smd12tmp1.asec".
Solution: Delete the corrupt file with a terminal app and also delete the market data to be sure.
1. Get "Terminal Emulator" or another terminal app from the Market.
2. Run the "Terminal Emulator".
3. Write:
su (ENTER)
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smd12tmp1.asec (ENTER)
rm /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/* (ENTER)
4. Exit the emulator, reboot and try to install the failing application again.
5. If the above doesn't solve your problem try the following:
- Wiping cache
- Wiping dalvik cache
6. If this doesn't fix your problem just wipe the phone and reinstall everything

It SEEMS to have worked!
I know this is kind of an obscure problem that no one else will probably ever have, but figured Id update it just the same.

same thing happened to me, I just restored the older version with the data and then updated the app over the market..worked fine after that

i could never get it to update over the market for some reason... always had to unmount the SD to get it to work.. but couldnt install from the market or save to phone without SD in.
I ended up saving to sd and using root explorer to move it onto the phone, unmount sd, do a cache wipe, install from phone, remount sd. whew!
its updated now and i have successfully done a titanium backup several times. (Thank God)
I have similar issues with fruit ninja attempting to update but just gave up on that one.

[Q] Cant install apk, installation fails

Hi, I installed an application on my XT720, but I think the installation hanged so I took out the battery to reset the phone. Now it wont install.
I've encountered this problem before by deleting the temp files using root explorer, but I can't seem to find the temp files on this one. Does anyone know where I can find temp files from installations?
thx

if it's rooted already, just use any of the clear cache apps in market, to clean the temps out
also the Dalvik cache

that almost no one reported problem and almost nobody knows how to fix it, I can say that there are caches market or anything like that, the problem is that there are duplicates in a folder on the SD card, and you have to delete the folder is hidden and not visible on the phone and can not erase, deves do it on the pc, and appears as olcuto file in linux and mac, but you can delete it just by putting "view hidden files" Fortunately, it is easy to fix

I have encountered the same problem, but after i cleaned the caches by Cache Cleaner, the problem didn't solve.
When I tried to install the apk file, the device returns the message 'application not installed'.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I doubt this is your problem, but maybe check the permissions and ownership of your /cache directory. I borked mine once while experimenting and the market was very silently unhappy.
ls -l should give:
drwxrwx--x system cache 2011-03-28 23:13 cache
If it's not owned by the cache group or if the group doesn't have write permission, downloads just go poof. That doesn't sound like your problem, though.
I've had some situations (going all the way back to 2.1) where Market apps wouldn't install the first couple of times I ask, but if I'm persistent and repeatedly keep installing, eventually it will start installing.
Another trick I've found is if the download completes and then the install never starts, try leaving the Market page for the app and come back. Sometimes that kicks the install into gear.

My problem seldom associate with the market apps, but rather the apk files that i backed up before. when i pressed install, the installation bar would load for a while, about 1 second, and then it said application not installed.
This happens when I first try to install angry birds few days ago, the application hanged up with no response, just showing the installation bar. After that i removed the battery and try to install, the apk can't be installed and the above situation happened.
I can still install some of the other apk files, but some cannot. I tried to wipe all the caches as well as factory reset by the openrecovery, but the apk still cannot be installed.
Anyone got the same problem?

Are you on froyo? IIRC Angry Birds tries to install to the SD card using native froyo App 2 SD. Perhaps that's what's not working on your phone. Since not all apps do that it could seem random. See if you can Move to SD any downloaded apps (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Downloaded > pick one > Move to SD). If you can't there's probably something wrong with your FAT partition on the SD card (e.g. it may need to be reformatted).

i tried your method, and my apps could move to SD.
So what will be the possible reasons for my problem?

(HOW TO FIX] Error while downloading XXX. There is insufficient space

if you are getting this error, please move your market-cache to your SD card:
Code:
cd /cache
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/market-cache
mv download download.bak
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/download download
exit
please give this a shot and report back here if this worked (and thank and bump it). i am seeing this error quite a bit lately and i think this might help some of you out.

Thanks for creating the topic. I'm having that problem but sadly your fix did not work for me . I used ES explorer with root to dump the cache all together and everytime I want to download something from market it tells me that there is insufficient space. BTW I'm running Android Revolution HD 1.1.2 if that makes any difference, anyone else have this problem?
P.S. I tried re-flashing with no positive results (Maybe partition problem?)

SOLVED: What I did is go into ClockWorkMod (Hold Vol- and Power button at reboot then choose RECOVERY) and wiped both the Cache and the Dalvik Cache (under advanced). I did not however try just to wipe one or the other I figured I'd do both to solve the problem so I'm guessing it might have just been the cache and not the Dalvik one so try both if you don't have luck just with the one

Didn't work.
But, was able to get it working from this link. Just create a file and run it using either terminal or Script Manager.
Hope, it helps for those facing issue. In my case, the actual issue was that I had converted to EXT4 due to which I had lost 4MB data in /cache, and hence only 27 MB was free. SO, some applications like Cordy (which needs 27.96 MB) wouldn't download. For others, just deleting the /cache contents either via root explorer or E-Strongs' file explorer or wiping cache in CWM would be enough.
PS: Another Market issue which I am facing is that some applications like Android System Info or Lookout Mobile Security can't be installed as it states that it is incompatible with SGS. (Only when doing via the web market, in mobile, no download option comes up)..
Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks clearing cache and dalvik cache using twrp on my htc shooter fixed the problem for me

About89Puppies's solution perfectly works for me. Another symptom of the problem in my phone was a mount error for cache partition in CWM recovery. Now everything is just fine. Thank you guys!

Just reporting an experience...
Got that the other day when trying to fix my gps locking issues. I was flashing and reflashing roms like it was going out of style. LOL But in the end I got everything sorted.
But in doing reflashing of the roms, I did come across this error when the market tried to auto install all my apps without the use of titanium backup. I got a series of errors reporting that the apps did not install. I just did a wipe and restore to factory settings and then flashed a rom. Everything installed afterwards. I thought it was a formatting issue as well, but it cleared itself out basically.

Cache + Dalvik Cache didn't work for me :/

Hey, I have this problem to! My problem is I have a Samsung galaxy player that clockworkmod doesn't work on (I think). Mine is rooted though.
Edit: I went into dalvek cache with fileslick and deleted some of the files in there but still get the error? I am trying to install wind-up knight if that helps.

Solved!!!
After browsing around, I found out solution:
The problem is in the cache folder (that I assume used by the market) is using small partition (around 20mb in my case).
So to solve this we need to change it to bigger partition.
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache’ (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which shoud have bigger partition size)
Works like a charm!!!
Thanks to jimmy!

wiped cache only!
Had the same problem. In CWM wiped Cache only - that fixed it!!
Thanks everyone!

I have this problem.
How did you all follow the OP's instruction, because I can't even install a terminal app.
Clearing cache in the clockworkmod doesn't work for me.
Using android really pushes me to be a creative strategist... oh my...

You can download marketfix. It helps all kind of market problems.
I used to have an error showing there was insufficient space. Now, it works perfectly!
