Android error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]

I'm getting this error and don't know how to fix this:
When trying to run an Android app on a real device (NEXUS4(rooted) in my case) I'm getting the following error in the Console:

pkg: /data/local/tmp/test.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]

I've try to google this error and have got some solutions:

  1. Delete the source with "android.uid.system".
    ->The error fixed but I need to use SharedUserID for system permission so I can't take this.
  2. Use platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pem from "build\target\product\security" to signature my app.
    ->Same error occured.

  3. Add my own UID(the xml below(copied from system)) into packages.xml and reset.
    ->The app disappeard from my phone after reset. I've no idea why I can't see it.

    <shared-user name="android.uid.cc" userId="10910">
    <sigs count="1">
        <cert index="2" />
    </sigs>
    <perms>
         ...
    </perms>
</shared-user>

None of these solutions solved the problem.
My andriod version is 4.4.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I met this error too, when run application show a dialog, most message is saying

INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_COMPATIBLE

Except this error above you mentioned, and another error in my logcat is:

Error using StatusBarManagerService - java.lang.SecurityException on android.permission.STATUS_BAR

Lastly, add platform debug key fixed it.

In other answer INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE while using shared user id they describe to do:

I got the solution for now .I followed the steps as follows

1) Removed existing application (if it is already installed )
2) Removed share user ID from android manifest
3) Bulid the application.
4) Now enter share user ID again
5) build the application 1 more time

and It works !!!
