I don't have internet on my phone so the only way to install apps is to download them from my computer and transfer it to my phone.
Does it matter if you delete these .apk files from a SD after using them?

No, after you install the apks, you can delete them if you wish.
thanks or all informations
its better to keep the file backup in your computer incase you need to install again you dont need to download again.

Since I have flashed a certain rom which I don't remember of, I keep having two files on my sd card (auto.exe and autorun.inf) I can't delete no matter what I try they always come back (format SD, delete via terminal, delete via antivir)...
Problem is that antivir tells me they contain trojans, does someone have information about that files ? Am I the only one with these files on my SD ?
I bet you are seeing them whenever you plug your phone into your pc and browse the sdcard. This is when the virus on your PC is creating the new files on your sdcard.
It was not the rom that caused the problem. Your pc is infected and as soon as you plug a drive in that has write access to it the virus writes those files to it to try and replicate itself. I bet if you plug a usb drive into your computer it will do the very same thing.
Install a decent antivirus package on your pc and/or a few of the many free antivirus scanners on the web.
Solve the problem

My brother has the same problem with a pendrive on a Mac, the solution is delete the files like root user, from a Linux or UNIX system works, I don't know how to do the same on Windows.
Hi, Sorry to bother everyone.....but i am new to this and i just got this htc hd2 phone and i been TRYING to read up on stuff but not really understanding much....*i know most of yall are prob laughing right now* but i was just wondering how do you dl apps from the comp and put it into your phone? do you just put it in the sd card under a certain folder? or do i dl it from my phone? Thanks for everyones time!
Hello friend, I understand what it's like coming into a tech heavy phone like the HD2 and then trying to comprehend stuff on this site. It get easier over time, just keep reading.
Anyway in answer to your question downloading apps is easy. For your computer you just have to find the apps you want, whether it be here or other sites. Select the app you want and download it. The majority of winmo apps are .cab files. If you download a .zip then extract the .cab from inside it.
Copy the .cab file to your sdcard or phone memory whichever you prefer, then using file explorer just navigate to the app, select it and install. Most apps ask if you want to install to phone memory or sdcard, whichever you prefer. All done!
For downloading on your phone it's the same concept, find the app, download it to your sdcard or internal memory and then use file explorer to install.
Good luck
thanks alot chris! I will defiantly try this out........one more quick question if you dont mind....is that when i put the .cab file onto my sd card or phone does it need to be in a certain folder?........thanks again!
just place it anywhere on your sd card mate and navigate to it using file explorer, i have a folder on my sd card called general crap, and anything i want to install goes in there so i no where i left it
I just bought my Xperia play, and tried to move some .apk games and apps to the sd card. On PC it shows they were transferred, but on my phone, no sign of the .apk files.
I'm new to the Android system, so maybe I've done something wrong.
How am I supposed to transfer/install those files?
PS: Music and videos successully transferred.
Edit: Solved, used Easy Installer.
Me, I used Appinstaller..
On a side note, I thought you were asking for installing app to sdcard coz we have a poor internal memory.. oh well to answer this, first i used app2sd, but not as helpful as I expect, there are still apps/games that you couldn't be transfer on sd card, so I use link2sd, perfect app for me, now all apps/games can be transfer to sdcard.. But it requires your phone to be rooted and you should have partition on your sdcard.
If you view apk files from astro file manager, it'll let you install them from there. Make sure you have the phone set to allow installation of apps from unknown sources.

Browse to the apk file using any file explorer and open it from there.
Really simple question that I couldn't find an answer to. I've been trying several different rom's and slowly learning what I like and dislike. I don't have issues yet but how do I delete the downloaded rom's I know I'll never use again? And how do I clean up my backup files so I don't have a ton of backed-up rom's I don't need?
well to delete/rename backup you got you can download ROM manager and use the Manage ROMs function
you can also do this manually by plugging the phone to your computer and accessing your SD card from there in the folder clockworkmod (if thats the recovery youve got)
you can also do it in your phone using any file manager
to delete the ROMs you have just go to wherever you placed them in your SD card and delete them from there
use ROM manager to deal with them.
If you have unused backups just go into there and click and delete them.
As far as the ROM.zip files, you can delete them off your SDcard after you flash em.
Hi all
Is it possible to install apps that you have put the .APK onto your SD card, onto the device? I am trying to install a program and it is trying to install on my SD and I want it to install onto the main device.
Any tips please?

After installing the program, you can go to settings>applications>manage applications
From here, search for the installed program, select it and move it to internal memory

If you just want to move it to internal storage, then do that^. If you want to make it a system app, then place the .apk in /system/app using a root explorer, fix permissions in CWM and reboot.
Thank you so much for your help. I downloaded 'Apps 2 sd free', and it did the job.
