Hi, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download apps to ROM vs having to have a SIM card?

Apps downloaded from the market, always go to internal SD card, usually in the /Data/App partition.
Apps downloaded manually go to /Downloads on Internal SD. Mostly.

You can choose when you install each program.
Some go straight to main memory but these tend to be system files...otherwise, you choose as said above
ok so coming from the G1 with apps2SD and moving apps from memory to SD was easy. Well i just went and installed a bunch of apps on my HD2 and suddenly got the "low on system storage" memory. i went into settings and tried to move apps to SD but wouldn't let me. Searched forums, and cant find an answer. How can i install android apps to the SD? it seems that if the android OS is on the SD card, wouldn't the apps naturally install there?! thanks for any help.
Yes, your android runs from the SD card. But your android does recognize the data.img in your folder as the system storage. That means if you have a build that creates a 1GB data.img, your storage is limited to 1GB.
How big is you data.img?
The option to install something on the SD isn't possible.
Cheers

Same situation
I'm also coming from a G1 with cyanogenmod using Apps2sd...
...is there any way that i can run my current apps from my sd card on the HD2?
or atleast copy them to the device?
Yes, if you have them in *.apk form.
You can create a folder on the SD card, I call it apps, and copy them there. Then use a file manager, I use Astro, to navigate the sd card and install them into Android. This way you don't have to keep reloading them from Market.
You can also put them into the Android Apps folder inside the Android folder and they will be installed on boot.
Cheers...
If I have flash ROM #1, install apps and move them to my sd card then flash ROM #2 and re-install the same apps again what happens to them when I move them to my sd card again?
Do they overwrite the original apps moved to the sd card or do they get placed in another location, therefore taking up twice as much space on my sd card?

That would explain why my sd card seemed to lose capacity so quickly. Is the only way to regain space to format my sd card? Or can I just delete a specific folder?
Use Astro or File Expert to eliminate duplicates on your sdcard or phone thru data/apps or system/apps
If you create an ext partition however and flash a new rom all you would need to do is full wipe, the ext partition restores all your apps/games
Course i use dark tremor apps2sd which not everyone needs and move data/data to sd and same with cache partition to sd.
Hey guys,

On the latest update with Move to SD feature, when I move a game to SD card, the obb data is still in device storage.
Is this only me?

Hi,
Move to sd feature only moves the app.
Data is still on the internal storage.
In order to get both,you need to be rooted and use FOLDERMOUNT
