If I find an app I have downloaded from the market I will vote for it
according to what I thought when I downloaded it the first time, but
it's just me, it would be interesting to see what other people think.

In your case I'm not sure. If I were you I would test in a phone
installing both versions to see what happens. Note: if you use the
same name in both versions users will see two apps with the same name
and that could be confusing. I added "ADC2" at the end of the name so
people know which version they are using and uninstall the ADC version
if they want.

You need to change the package name. The rest can be the same
according to what I know, even the name of the app.

I think no.
