I got my new WP7 Focus just a few days ago and I spent two days searching for things in the forum. After some research I found that the simplest way to install applications/games on the phone is as listed below. Any one has a simpler way- please share!
1. Unlock your phone in two mins. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20616855 (Please thank Jaxbot for this feat)
2. Installed latest version of Zune (http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/software/default.htm)
3. Ensure you have .NET Framework 4.0 If not - see here http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17718
4. Installed the mini-SDK from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265846 (Thanks to W.I.N.C.O.)
5. Installed Tom Xap Installaer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860964) (Thanks to Tom Codon)
And Bingo!
You're ready to install downloaded XAP files.
Just double click on the Xap file and done!
PRESS THANKS IF THIS HELPED
Couldn't find all this posted in one place so just made a new thread. Hope this helps newbees like myself!
Thanks!

Hi, guys!
How can I install new touch cube in my device?
I try to install FTOUCHflo but it doesn't install it.
Oh! It is very simple, just click on SEARCH and then start reading.
Already done.
No results
The SCLPF cube is not an exact copy (in some ways it is better) or you can use Kona's cube, both are in this forum.

You allready read the whole 76 pages of this thread?
And you still don't know how to install it?
Well I would suggest you to send your device to efrost, and donate 100 bucks, I'm sure he would be able to find a way to put it on your device...
If not I suggest you read the whole thread, read the instructions, and if you got questions, asked in that thread itselfs...
Good Luck
I was told to download SDKcert (.cab) to confirm the missing certificates that prevented the installation on my dual touch.
I used the "SEARCH" of the forum, then the research, advanced research in a single post and then google but have found NOTHING download.
So kindly tell me where someone could possibly get it without having to read 76 pages to find it?
Thanks.
get the sdkcert at www.cinetsystems.com/xda
u can also use msigner

It will certainly make the iPhone take a run for its money..
thanks for the link btw..
where is the download link? I can't see it on my screen.

whilst this isnt an iphone killer application, it still transforms my tired old o2 into a new device.
it has some very cool features. gone are the days of the stylus - you dont need it.
however in saying that there are still a few bugs to sort out. but honestly people, i would recommend everyone trying it out.

Read the first post on PointUI forum
"Ok, so you can download the file by clicking the letter "a" at the end of this sentence, which was a way to try and force people to read the statement above because we know you won't and just download the file anyhow."
PointUI and ROM 2.03
I installed it (on march,1st ) in the main storage of my device, and it works! I think it´s the place, not the date

Edit: Solved by editing the regional settings!

You have to copy the folder to your pda device. The application can be started there.
Greetz, Mike.

hey thanks you guys,really appreciate this. i read the forum FAQ's and got through!!!
Theres a new version available, 1.51. But I think it´s only for wm 5/6
It seems they're changing their web pages. Looks like more aiming on commercial products. After all I hope they will continue developing the Home application for free and WIN2003 PPC compatible.
Greetz, Mike.

v1.51a
Notes
Update Manager removed from install. Normal application uninstall should now work.
I installed the .cab file for TD2 Tools for Win 6.5 v2, and got the following message: This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.
Now What?
It was a good idea to begin with "not opening a new thread" for this. Post it in the TD2tools-thread, but not before reading it totaly...
Thanks for your outstanding help, really appreciate it. I did a freaking search of "TD2 tools" and got pages of crap (and by the way, if you go to that thread and do a thread search for .net, you will get NO MATCHES. I am trying to find if someone with the TOPAZ (PURE) has had the same issue. So next time, I will type in that I did a search and did not find the answer..did you get your senior member by giving those type of responses, or by actually doing enough posting to help people?
AGAIN, THANKS FOR THE HELP. You should spend some time over on the KAISER site flaming people so that they don't come back looking for help and wander around bricking their phones.

Had the same problem. Also couldn't find any reference re .Net 3.5 installation searching the sticky thread.

There's a cf3.5-prob with some new roms... No solution found yet. Use Advanced Config or something else.

Hi
I have searched through several HDWall threads, but have not yet found a manual or installation instructions anyway (even googling).
I cannot get either 0.27b or 0.28 to install on my laptop. HDWalls installed on my TP2 fine.
Can anyone direct me to an original install thread or a manual or similar to help me please.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using winXP and a TP2 with win6.5.
Cheers

Honestly, the only 'instructions' are what you'll find in the original app thread for HDW (this one), both in the first post and throughout the thread.
We'll need a little more detail to be able to help, what error(s) do you get when you try to run HDWalls? There's no real install needed, you just have to extract the folder in the zip file to your desktop or wherever you want it, and run the "HDWall" executable inside.
Thanks for the link to original thread.
When I tried to run/install HDwall nothing happened at all, but now reading the thread I have discovered that I was missing several pre-requisites. Sorted that and now it runs.
Thanks, Now I just have to figure out using it.
Feel free to lock or delete this thread.

Great, I'm glad it's working. I'm guessing you just needed CF 3.5 on your PC?
If you need any more of a hand with HDW, PM me and I'll help however I can.

See the post in my sig
As for the roms, you would have to try to see which one suits you best. Or ask for more details either in the thread or here...
Thank you very much for replying
I checked your link.
1.I'd like to stay with Stock ROM as of now.
2. Window Break - Done
3. So just that Mini SDK & wXapAssitant is enough ?? No need to download that big SDK file ? [some 2GB file]
4. Will do this after 3 step
cheers !

1. I also suggest to stay so, at least until you gather enough info
2. You will be able to sideload
3. Yes, using just the two programs at 2. you can sideload
4. See 3
