I have a paid app that reads the SharedPreferences from a free app of mine. Works fine. You don't have to use a ContentProvider.
You do have to set the mode properly when you set the preferences. That's when the preferences file is created. This may not be your problem, but you are also settings the flags parameter in the createPackageContext call incorrectly. Check the documentation for that method, that is not one of the flags it accepts.
