[Q] Google Play services and the "shared user ID" error - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm a NottachTrix 1.3.1 (2.3.6) user, I realy like this rom and everything works fine, but when I try to login to Youtube it asks me to download Google Play services and takes me to the app on the Play Store. But after downloading it fails to install the application and the following error appears: "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID."
I already uninstalled every application I downloaded just before the error appears the first time, I have the latest version of Google Play (3.10.10).
What can I do to solve the problem and install Google Play services (also just login to youtube will also do the job )?
Thanks
Rob

Try wiping the cache for google play services (if installed) and any other google app.

Individually through android or recovery or both?

Try clearing cache in recovery. If that doesn't work, try flashing gapps again or formatting /system partition.

Have tried the solutions here and doesn't seem to work. Running Nottachtrix with Mon's sv latest kernel. I also flashed the rom all over again and restore apps from backup and still doesn't work.

My "solution" was to downgrade Youtube application to an older version. It works fine and now I can follow my channels. Do someone knows what's the latest version of Youtube that gives no problem with shared user ID?

Grey.Mouser has just released nottachtrix v1.7.0. I'm downloading now. I'll report back weather the problem is fixed in the new version.

Even with nottachtrix 1.70 nothing has changed for me ...

Updating gapps was next on my list for Nottachtrix. Since I have no issue with youtube, I'll need testers. I can send the three of you a PM with a beta if your willing to help out. Just PM me with confirmation if your willing.

Nottachtrix 1.8.0 comes with a version of youtube that works fine. Update on google play breaks it. Says something about error and won't allow login. Uninstall updates for youtube via "manage applications" in settings fixes it again. There is no googleplayservices.apk on the ROM or pushed by google play. Thanks Grey.mouser for your good work!!!

The reason why this is that each app has its on user ID for android to identify it with. If 2 apps have the same user ID, then android cannot identify both of them and thinks that it is the same app.
The problem we have is BLUR. Blur has many apps built in already, and one of these is already taking up the user ID for Google play services. this means until we take out the blur app with the same user ID, play services will not install as it's ID is taken by the blur app.
However, there is another problem. All blur roms need that specific blur app that takes play services' user ID. this means that if you are going to use blur, you cannot use play services unless you take out the blur app. Taking out the blur app, however, means that the blur rom will not function.
So, we are with the dilemma that either you do not use the Blur rom, or you use an older version of youtube, which has a different user ID.
Hope this clears things up.

what? I think u are wrong. I have a 2.3.4 Blur stock ROM. I have all blur stock apps installed and still installed play services + YouTube app update. That only means that a app blocks playservices in the custom ROMs.

Whoops never saw this thread, I'vee been posting about this in the two nottachtrix threads. Here's what I know:
I've been investigating the googleplayservices/youtube problem, and posting on the old thread, but I guess I'll move to here. Here's what I know, googleplayservices (I'll call it PS) does more than just youtube, it enables a better version of maps, +1 buttons, and going forward is probably going to be like .NET for android. So just using older youtube is not a solution going forward. The problem is because Nottach resigned the entire ROM including the google apps. In order for applications to use a shared uid they must have the same signatures. I've had very little success fixing this without doing a full data/cache wipe. What definately worked for me yesterday, was replacing all apps that originally had google's signature with the originals from a deodexed fruitcake and wiping. What this means is that if you do this after installing the ROM you should have no problems. And replacing these in the ROM installer will also probably work. Now this is the only thing I've tried with the wipe, it maybe be simpler, but here's what didn't work/what I know. The only apks that share the UID (according to packages.xml) are NetworkLocation.apk GoogleServicesFramework.apk GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. Without a wipe, I replaced these but still had the shared user problem. I resigned all 4 including the PS apk. PS installed but didn't work saying it was an error. I think there's a signature check but somehow gapps on other rom's don't have this problem so I dunno. Here is a list of all apps on stock that had the same signature: NetworkLocation.apk GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk SetupWizard.apk vending.apk GoogleServicesFramework.apk GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk BooksPhone.apk MarketUpdater.apk GooglePartnerSetup.apk GoogleFeedback.apk Talk2.apk GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk Gmail.apk. Like I said replacing these with a wipe did the trick.

As I understand it, shared user ID is a valid concept, I think it lets 2 applications share data between the VM's.
if u check file parameters.xml u can see which apps have shared user ID specified.
current problem many people r having is the compatabilty of the new google play services with the google framework, both specified to share the same ID but have incompatable settings, presumably one app wants to do something the other doesn't

I have installed play services

I have found a working solution for this issue in celkon a97i. Hope it will work on other models and custom roms too.
