Noob Alert!! Help with duplicate app install

[olechevytruck]

ok guys and gals... I am fairly new to Android, but I have stumbled around enough to know enough to be dangerous lol... ok, so heres what I got. I have an antiquated Sanyo/Kyocerra Zio, but it is on Cricket network. It is Rooted, and I'm running 2.2 with a stock ROM... Question is this: Is there any way to install the same app/game twice on this device? I have heard of it being possible with iStuff, but I'm not a fan of apple so I use Android, and figured this would be a good place to ask. I got the info I needed to Root this phone from here so I figured this would be a good place to start. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. BTW, the apps in question that I'm trying to duplicate is iMobsters and World War if it matters...

No worries, you'll be fine.

By default, all apps go the same place under the hood and optionally you can move them to your SD card.

Duplicates don't happen in Android.

On very rare occasions an app will show up twice in your app drawer but that's just a glitch, fixed by a power cycling or a reset.

I have had that happen once in two years, five phones. Pretty rare and easy to fix.

Welcome to the forums!

I've actually had 2 version of the same app. It does survive power cycling. I'm not quite sure how it comes about, because app higher versions usually override the lower, but I have had it happen.

Had to clear out an older version of Mango today. Had versions 119 and 128. Both usable. just deleted the older one.

Wow, learn something new every day!

I am guessing that they named the app file (apk) oddly for that to happen.

OK. So that's the real answer then!

So adding a second "version" of the game isn't an option? Maybe I wasn't clear on this but I WANT a second app so I can start a second account in these games... is that possible?

I don't think so.
