Well that's an OS 7.0 2nd edition phone and apps compatible for that phone won't be compatible with your N79 (which is OS 9.3 3rd edition.) Is that the phone you upgraded from?

Maybe I don't know how to ask 🙄 Hmm. I can't install all sis files. I downloaded few games, few programs, few themes in sis format for N79. From NOKIA recommended sites. And i can't install them. It says "Inpossible to install this program" or smt like "Contact with this program maker".

Wow! I downloaded one theme in sis. And it was installed! First of ten succeed! ;D

I have no idea, why other (like Fexplorer.sis Hearts.sis) doesn't installing. Maybe I don't get it something. :con?

Well firstly you need to check in Settings in App Manager that Software Installation is set to "All" and Online Certificate Check is set to "Off". Also, you're not going to be able to install any unsigned apps, for that you would need a developer certificate which you can no longer get. It is possible to hack most 9.2 and 9.1 phones to bypass this but that is not possible on 9.3 version phones such as your's (yet!)
