When the phone has two applications that do the same thing, Android wants to know which app should be used. For example, if two or more home screens are installed, pressing the Home button makes Android display a list of available home screens and prompts users to select one. Likewise, users who select the Email option from Contacts are prompted to choose between the stock email app and K-9 Mail, if the latter has been installed from the Market. Users can select the app they want to use this time, or they can select the one they want to use all the time. This post describes how to tell the phone which of two or more applications to use for a particular task.

Users can find and install apps from either source, and they can uninstall apps from the phone in a number of ways. A few other apps, such as betas and older versions, may be installed using a USB cable and file manager, like Astro by Metago, or app installer, like Easy Installer by InfoLife or Fast App Installer by Faststring.
