TouchXperience fraught with unsafe hacks
TouchXperience is a homebrew app for Windows Phone which offers various features like custom menus, organize applications & games, File explorer and more. It works along side Windows Phone Device Manager which is a Windows PC software that will allow you to perform various tasks on an unlocked WP7 device like install/uninstall homebrew applications, File management, Add and manage custom ringtones, Send SMS, E-mail, notes directly from PC, and more. Recently beta version 1.5 of Touchxperienc went live which included features like remote device management , remote screen manipulating , loading documents and files directly from the desktop, etc. Its quite popular in the Jailbreak community over at xda-dev.

Some features are specific to HTC devices and might only apply to the TyTN II aka Kaiser. They are not guaranteed to work on other devices.
