After getting that "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable" error message in Docs v8, i tried flashing v7.6.2. The same error occured, i wiped/factory reseted, cleared dalvik cache and wiped cache.
After rebooting, same error. I wiped the SD card, same error after booting.
In desperation i did a repartition 512 in odin, then flashed JM9, but after booting the same error appeared again, but the strange thing is that it popped up a "setup homescreen popup" with LauncherPro?? How the hell, where it came from? :s
Dunno whats happening with the phone, please help
I currently have the same error. Did nothing so far, since everything works fine, but it annoys/worries me.
I would love to investigate, if one knew where to look, maybe it is possible to fix that error manually.
Edit: Ok, I read around. If you wiped practically everything and the problem persists its probably a hardware defect.

I fixed the phone. Thats what i did:
1) removed SD card, formatted it on the computer to FAT32
2) ODIN with repartition 813, then took off the battery
3) downloadmode again and flashed JM8 with pit 512 and repartition, then hardreset
4) registry hack then JPO with Kies
5) applied Doc JPO 7.6.2
problem fixed, so far so good
I found another solution.
have a [email protected] /data/system/uiderrors.txt
there you will find the apps, that are responsible for the trouble, delete them (manualy if necessary) and you are fine, reinstalling the apps brings the error back though.
Someone could write a script to automatically fix the UIDs of the files to match the UIDs expected by the system.

Yes please i'm having this same issue. Thanks very much!
I have LG Gt540 on 2.1 Baltic Black ROM, rooted + apps2sd.
I got this problem today. I finally solved by flashing and reflashing the same ROM a few times. It suddenly worked as I was almost ready to give up and flash a stock ROM via ODIN with repartition.
However, when I looked at /data/system/uiderrors.txt, I can only find entries dated 23 Mar, not today. So what caused the problem?

Probably the cleanest solution HERE
UPDATE! i figured it out in the end i had to put the phone in recovery (CWM & Not Philz) and locate the Data/System file and delete its entire contents! i rebooted then it worked and all the popups stopped and i was able to get my phone working!
Guys sorry this is an old post but where do i gain access to: /data/system/uiderrors.txt
My solution was to change uids for directories inside /data/sdext2/
My /data/system/uiderrors.txt doesn not have any info about problem with UID or it was old for apps which I don't have anymore
I used special script which fix everything and the message existed
And in the and I looked into /data/sdext2/ (instead of /data) and there were directories with bad UIDs, and I changed these manually
command:
chown xxx:xxx /data/sdext2/specific_directory
you can check userID by command
cat /data/system/packages.xml | grep bsplayer
for instance
and value from userID="xxxx"
use in
command:
chown xxx:xxx /data/sdext2/specific_directory
THE MESSAGE disappeared !!!

Recently, I started getting a "not enough storage available" error when trying to install Handcent either from the Market or using a Titanium restore. I know it's not a space issue because all other apps that I have tried install with no problem. I am using A2SD and have about 400 MB free. I have duplicated this error on multiple ROM's so it must be something on my phone. I searched and found something about permissions on *.so files in the lib directory but I don't know enough to fix it myself. Here is a pastebin of the error:

I know this is a stupid question but ur not trying to install when card is mounted to computer r u. Also what app2sd r u using, is ur ext partition full, I've also noticed this when I thought I had room then went in and deleated a few old nandroids and then it worked great.
I had the same problem.
Go to Applications
Somewhere in there, there is a handcent registry that is different than the normal handcent program.
Scan through everything, you will find something like com.sms.handcent. Uninstall that as well as the program and you should be able to install.

yep... I have had this problem with a couple of apps. The real fun is sometimes that directory is named something completely different then the application name. Then you have to guess at what it is and then check /data/apps to verify it has a missing apk.
HELP!!! every time i try to download and install an app from the market it says "installation error
unknown reason-18"
what could be causing this, and how do i fix it?
I get the same thing. Cyanogenmod 6 RC3. Apps installing to external.
I've tried:
1) rebooting
2) deleting the market data
3) wiping cache
4) wiping dalvik cache
5) nandroid/wipe/restore
6) BART/wipe/restore
7) wipe/reflash
I've heard that installing to internal, and then moving them to external will work. I've also heard that installing one app by adb will fix it to make market work.
And finally I've heard that the following works.
Code:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
I'll be trying a few of these out, starting with the last.
*****::::::EDIT::::::*****
The above code should read:
Code:
su
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Note that in normal text, that's "rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec". For some reason, the CODE tag makes a lower case l look like the number 1.
l
Code:
l
1
Code:
1
I should also mention that I also tried to fix permissions.
The code shown above didn't work. Terminal said that the file didn't exist.
I set it to install apps to "automatic" and that has been working since my first reply.
On the Terminal, enter first "su" and only after that run the command.
hello, i have a Desire NON-rooted and have changed too automatic install on external trough ADB, but i have this problem now suddenly i got unknown reason 18 and nothing will install on external !!! is there any solution i have maybe 20 apps on the external. thanks

I had the exact same error message when trying to install the Google Maps update today and it turned out that it was because Google Maps was on the SD Card. I had moved maps to SD yesterday, then when I tried to update it, I got the error you got. I had to
1) switch the install location back to internal
2) move maps back to internal
3) clear market cache
After those 3 steps, I was able to install the update without issue. I guess some apps can not be updated if the are either on the card or maybe if they have been moved to the card.
I have the same error. None of the tips here have worked for me. It seems to be only Angry Birds that wont install...
**EDIT** Just found this -
it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)
Oops!

Solved deleting .adroid_secure folder. It's hidden in SD root.
Tried all the above hints, still not working
Hello all
Market is still not installing anything on my N1.
There is no such file in /mnt/secure/asec, and yes, got a rooted phone.
The only file there that starts with s is smpxg.jewelxmas_lite-1.asec.
Any other hints ?
I experienced this on Froyo (2.2), Froyo 2.2.1, CyanogenMod 6.0 and now also on nightly CM 6.1.
Cheers.
UPDATE: Never mind, was able to unmount
tmpfs on /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure type tmpfs (ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000)
Then rm'd it safely. After a reboot I am back in the game.
is this problem solvable for people who dont know what to do with the code or what a terminal is?
removing smdl2tmp1.asec did it for me on my evo. Thanks guys.

Ok, so I'm having problems with installing Angry Birds (installation error - 18) and I have read the posts, but I honestly have no idea what to do. Someone said that this code works, but where am I suppose to type it in or alter it?
I'm with thenapster3, not got a clue! Running MUIU Build 5 and can't find anything mentioned or delete the secure folder. Soz Any help would be gratefully received.

found this on other forum... thought i would share with you
(1) unmount your SD CARD
(2) download and install the app
(3) mount back your SD CARD
worked for me...
try this
I got an error saying 'unknown error 18', I Google'd the error and found a possible fix, which was un-mounting the SD card. I tried, and was able to install the apps ! I then have to mount the SD card and move the apps across! It works, but its a real pain to have to keep un-mounting and mounting the sd card!
giv it a shot
I am unable to download/update new apps and existing apps via the market because i keep getting an error that says unsuccessful download. I flashed over the new 2.2.6 market into my phone and i still get the same problem. It turns out that only apps that are in the sdcard are affected, and moving them back into the phone will finally allow them to be updated with no problems.
I tried everything i could find on the internet, clearing cache/data and stuff like that, but they dont work. One method that does work is a factory reset but i dont wanna lose my stuff right now. Usually when i get this problem i'll just wait out a few hours and try again but i had this problem since last night and i also read about people who had them for over a month!
Is there any fix to this? Or is the market just broken? Running on CM6.1-N1
cmon 56 views and still no answer? I know many people have encountered this problem before. Is there any solution to this?
Probably because there's 56 threads on the same subject...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I am stuck on "App not Installed". I can't figure that out. I am on CM 6.1.0 on 2.2.1. I tried clearing cache, renaming file to update.zip and going into recovery to install from SD Card. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
Try unmounting your SD card in settings...

1. Open Terminal Emulator on the phone
2. Type su to activate SuperUser
3. Once the $ sign turns to # type in the above code
4. That should do it
And BTW - it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)

It's because it cant fit in the system partition. Quentin himself made a little guide, how to make a bootable zip from the new nightlies. HERE it is. I deleted the Live Wallpapers and some other stuff i would disable anyway.

Yes, the newest nightly doesnt have live wallpapers by default. You have to delete some other stuffs.
Ringtones, some fonts are safe to delete. (and those asian fonts eats up at least 8Mb...)
I can't make it work too. I tried to delete some stuff, but I don't know what is safe to delete or not.
I don't need Live Wallpapers and so on, but the apk isn't in the zip file anymore.

Try booting ROM form that post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32403158#post32403158
Its already prepared for booting. Before that you better wipe all user data and cache - it should work after that
The installation worked, but my Milestone stuck while the boot logo is shown.
Edit: Works after a restart, but now it tells me every minute that text-to-speech has crashed. >.<
CM10 boot issue with latest nightly
Greetings all, I am new to this forum so bear with me :laugh:
I have just tried out the latest rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209
(I am currently running CM9)
It boots to a blank screen with just the bar at the top, which seems to work, but no home screen to be seen :crying:
I understand there won't be a wallpaper, but I should see icons, right?
I have cleaned all the caches and reset to factory before installing, but nothing ..
I do not have the /data partition though, is that necessary?
Thanks,
B.
You should have wallpaper, only the live wallpapers were deleted by default.
I guess, the problem is your /data partition. It's necessary to wipe it if you upgrade your rom. Wiping it should solve your problem.
Well, after some restarts it's working. But Angry Birds isn't running and World of Goo is lagging. Isn't the great project butter working?

Hmm, I don't have a /data partition yet ... I guess that is the problem.
Question: If I create a new SD card with a FAT32 partition at the start and an EXT3 at the end, can I just copy my phone SD card contents
including hidden files to the FAT32 partition, put it in the phone and all will be good?
I am guessing that the OS will find the partition and create a mount point for it and that I don't have to do that, right?
Thanks,

Project Butter improves the reactiveness of the UI and increases the framerate.
But the reason for games not working is a lack of RAM (in 90% of the cases).
To circumvent this you need to use a kernel that supports zRAM and/or swap.

So I created the card with the new partition and it works fine with my CM9 backup from nandroid.
When I try to install CM10 I deleted all the caches, factory reset etc and installed CM10.
When it eventually booted to the setup wizard, I enter all the information and it says it is complete, but then on exit the wizard dies and I am left with the status bar and a black screen ..
I tried re-booting, but it won't boot until I go and delete the caches etc again ..
What's wrong?:crying:
Did you wipe everything from recovery? Because doing a Factory Reset might not be enough.

What does "Did you wipe everything from recovery" mean? If you mean did I execute all of the three menu options in recovery, then yes I did that.
However, I do have it going now ... but only after many resets .. and I got stuck on the setup app crashing ..
I am using it and have found it a bit flakey .. slows down at times and the keyboard goes away sometimes, I have to use the hard keyboard.
EDIT: Found the reason for that was voice typing was on for some reason.
I also noticed that the font is very light (alsmost un-readable) in contacts, I have to hold the phone at an angle to be able to read the names.
Here is the cure for the font problem:
Open "HWA Settings" and disable "Contacts" and "Messaging".

Cool thanks, that did it ..:good:
So what is "HWA Settings" anyway?
If an app don't need hardware acceleration, than it will ask the system to not to do it, but sometimes it's just not working properly and with HWA Settings we can disable the hw acc on that app.

I am using:
Stock ROM XXMEB5
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
EDIT: Finally Solved the Problem. The phone was not resetting properly, so for users facing this problem there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Flash stock rom, goto stock recovery and from there wipe data if CWM does not do it properly (In my case CWM did not do it properly)
2. The other solution, the info i figured out was that it had to do something with a folder in Android/Data directory. Try to delete folders one by one to see if this fixes the error
I recently updated OTA to 4.1.2 and have suddenly got this same problem today, im not technically that great so all i did was save the files i wanted to keep and did a factory reset but nothing has changed. I can open my pictures in Smart Gallery Lock Free but im also having the problem that nothing deteles properly, everything i delete re-appears when i re enter Smart Gallery
I have tried removing the files directly from "My Files" but it will only work on the extSdCard not sdcard0 its says deleted but doesnt go anywhere.
I have looked at point 2. but i dont know what i can delete without making things worse
Hope somebody can help
