Know issues and recommendations;
No performance tweaks needed in my opinion
I recommend over clocking the rom [battery-status] to 247 MHz instead of applying performance tweaks ,performance tweaks take away ram…….were over clocking comes at very little loss of battery especially if you use the auto scale function.
THIS rom has no parts from any current wm6 rom,this is a real WWE wizard rom ,all the parts needed to make it as a full rom were sourced from my 3.3.
Battery status cannot be configured from today options control panel…….but you can configure it by pressing and holding the battery icon in battery-status today plug in.
the rom may be bit slower because i did not applied any performance tweaks....plus the rom is fully loaded so we cant compare to other roms.....i mean this roms has everything working.....its like comparing a loaded truck to an empty one..
the device may crash when it reboots for the first time at the welcome screen if you don't tap it straight away....just reset the device with the stylus and it will be fine. this is because there is apps loading in the background.
a vanilha version will be released soon.
many thanks to mamaich BEPE AND dr.P FOR ALL THE Support and all the authors/xda of the freware apps.... a specialy.....my wife that lend her wizard to me in order to finish this rom,and for putting up with the many hours i ignored her.....

The ROM image doesn't really care whether you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista. Without knowing the details, I'm guessing that the problems you're having have to do with the new security "features" of Windows Vista.
What you'll need to do is once you've downloaded the ROM image to a location on your local hard drive, right-click on the file and select "Run as Administrator". You will be prompted to "Allow" or "Cancel", select "Allow" and you should be OK from that point forward.

Not really, the problem I had was , it started to upgrade and when the phone restarted and the rainbow appeared the connection was lost between PC and phone.
I hope I was able to explain it correctly.

Thanks Faria for your reply.
Am I allowed a joke?
It could be a bit scary to see a new rom published and read the following in your signature:

The issue you are havings is a known issue. The flash utility looks for ActiveSync, and since Vista does not use ActiveSync but its own mess, you wont be able to flash with Vista.

Can anyone provide a mirror link?

Ok before Faria gets slammed with posts about the flash freezing at 99%.... this is normal. All ROM's (Even releases by HTC or your carrier) have a point when it looks frozen but its not.
Also one thing I have seen is that people expect these things to be perfect OOB (out of box), this is never the case. There will always be a few little kinks and if you read the forum you will either find the answer in this post or another. So read before you post.
On another note, faria I love this release. So far no issues seen, but i will run the phone hardcore as i usually do to see if there are any issues. Thanks again for all your hardwork in putting this release out.

Some people who where trying to update to WM6 on Smartphones like Dash had a problem with "Invalid Code ID"... (me as well).
The procedure to solve the prob was to use the "Unlocker" program provided by some companies, disconnect cable when it asked for a file, close the program and continue to flash with "modded files" (the modded files were specific to the "vendor ID" prob).
Whe you run the unlocker, ActiveSync disconnects, at least looks so.
In this case my "noobish" mind could think the unlocker is actually handling by itself the connection... In this case, using this procedure, it should be possible to run the upgrade even from Vista.
On the other hand, the unlocker might just disconnect ActiveSync but still be using MS drivers, which are probably different in Vista.
Maybe I'm not used to think and I'm just saying nonsense.

Restore Internet Calling in Faria's WM6 ROM?

I have been attempting to add Interenet Calling to Faria's WM6 ROM by adding the necessary files and registry changes and re-cooking the ROM but I am getting nowhere fast. I have managed to add some files to the original ROM, make a couple of registry changes fine and change some settings in the initflashfiles.dat file to remove some shortcuts I don't want and I can get this to work fine, however re-adding the IP Phone stuff is a bit more of a task.......
I have extracted the files (or modules) from the MB ROM and added the regsistry changes and the ROM cooks just fine. When I flash the Wizard though it completes sucessfully and then reboots. I get the 1st splash screen but then when the 2nd splashscreen should appear I get a white screen. The Wizard is working as I can hear the bleep when it asks you to 'tap the screen to set up the device'. It also powers on and off OK, but I only ever get this white screen.
I have tried this about 4 times now and I am convinced the registry changes and required files are correct, but each time I get this white screen. Any ideas?

Already read it..... I can get Internet Calling back if I launch the VoIP.CAB that is included in that thread after installation, however I want these to be integrated into the ROM like they were originally (Faria has removed them). As I said I have had some sucess with adding other files and other registry changes it is just this bit that I am stuck on.
I did manage to get a bit further but ended up with a corrupt Today screen, no idea what happened there though
Andy

What are you stuck on?... you said you didn't have it, but now you said you can get internet calling... what exactly are you trying to do?

Faria has said that his rom takes up almost the entire space alotted. Have you tried removing some files from the rom to clear up room for the VoIP files?

I want to restore the Internet Calling option in Faria's WM6 ROM - pretty simple to understand really
I can add it manually via the VoIP.cab file but this obviously takes up RAM and can be removed via 'Remove Programs'. I would like to add the files that are missing and make the necessary registry changes then re-cook the ROM. I would prefer to keep Faria's base ROM.
I haven't tried removing anything from Faria's ROM so far, I didn't realise it was near the limit - I thought we had 128MB to play with on the Wizard, are we near that already?
Andy

Listen.. that cab only does registry fixes and puts in the NECESSARY files for the current voip functionality. it does not install anything that is not needed. Extract the cab and look at the xml file. it will tell you exactly what it does...Pretty simple concept

Yep, already done that, hence my original post.....
I have added the necessary registry changes/additions and proof-read them several times, however once the ROM is cooked and installed the thing reboots, I get the 1st splash screen OK, then the white screen when the 2nd splash screen should appear and that's it.
I will have a look at how bloated the DUMP directory is with the additional files in there and see if I am going over 128MB.
Andy

The DUMP folder is apparently 122MB (128,512,401 Bytes) but is taking up 132MB (139,141,120) on the disk on my PC. Does anyone know if this is too big? If it is what is safe to remove?
Thanks
Andy

Done it.......
If anyone is interested I managed to get Internet Calling back into Faria's ROM.....
What I did originally was correct, however the file (or modules) that are needed for Internet Calling total about 3.5MB, which I think was slightly too much and would make the ROM bigger than 128MB (I think Faria must have realised this when developing his ROM and removed them to save space). I have been through the installed applications and files and have removed some stuff that I don't use. I then re-built the ROM and low and behold it worked first time and Internet Calling is now an option...
It still doesn't work however but that is just because it needs a provisioning XML file from a provider. Hopefully when WM6 devices appear we will be able to extract a provisioning XML file and dig deeper........
And no, the ROM is not available since this is Faria's work and not mine.
Andy

Nice,
I’m new to this and the only thing that I need from WM6 is the “Internet Calling”
I have no ides how to make the voip work. But I fond this at Microsoft.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms898226.aspx
I really would like to test this with my “asterisk server” (http://www.asterisk.org/)
/joad

Where did you find the "Internet Calling total about 3.5MB" module?
Or maby you have changed your mind and feel like chairing your ”build” of WM6

I have exactly the same intentions, joad. I've got wm6 on my O2 XDA mini so I can try and connect to my Asterisk server as well!
Let's hope his eventually works.

You need to add the following files into the ROM (the 1st 3 are actually modules and are in directories with the same name):
dnsapi.dll
rtcdll.dll
voipphonecanvas.dll
ipdialplan.xml
ringback.wma
You also need to add the registry entries to the default.hv and user.hv that are contained in the '_setup.xml' file from the VoIP.CAB file (or extract them from another ROM that already contains Internet Calling).

Joad,
I agree with you. The 3.5 Mb footprint is inflated.
It's only 1.75 MB (remember if you are using recmod when you are unpacking the ROM with viewimgfs, you have two copies of the files that are stored as modules: the module version and a file copy!.

eluth, I knew that somebody out there would have done the right job. Congratulation! Would you mind making your rom available to us?
Thank you
Gio2003

Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase !!!!!!
There are so many people wanting to do this now - and I have a MAJOR need for this on a Hermes -- I have a solid SIP provider and can get to it with my other apps but integration I can't test ---
I am trying soooo hard to pin this down. I have not found a single ROM yet that has the "complete" add-in of what you mention here.
It would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

This .CAB worked on my Wizard with Faria's WM6 real thing ROM that had the VoIP stuff removed:

L2TP/IPSec VPN doesn't work in the 5.2.1413 (Build 17913) build?

I managed to get the L2TP/IPSec VPN working in the previous mUn ROM (5.2.968) - not fantastic as it would only work following a soft reset, however this was better than nothing. Which unfortunately is what I have now. I have the same setup I had in the previous ROM I built - Digital Certificates etc, however the Wizard doesn't even attempt to connect, even following a soft reset.
I noticed in the ROM kitchen the 'Enterprise' files in the 5.2.1413 build are files, whilst in the 5.2.968 they are packages. Also the .DSM files in the Enterprise_Lang_0409 & Enterprise_Lang_0409_DPI_96 folders are different sizes between the two builds, however the single .RGU file in the Enterprise directory is the same.
Would it be safe to replace the four Enterprise folders in the 5.2.1413 build with the ones from the 5.2.968 build and rebuild the ROM?
Any body else using L2TP/IPSec sucessfully?
Thanks
Andy

Well the answer to whether I can just replace the four Enterprise folders in the 5.2.1413 release with those from the 5.2.968 release is no..... It just hangs at the third boot screen following the flash.
B0ll0x, I'm gonna have to revert to the 5.2.968 release for the time being
Andy

Sorry my mistake, it doesn't work with the 5.2.968 ROM neither - same issue as the 5.2.1413, it does in fact only work with the original 5.2.318 ROM from Faria......
EDIT: ..... and no you can't just copy the Enterprise files from the 5.2.318 build into the 5.2.1413 build and rebuild the ROM.....
Andy

I give in...........
OK I give in...........
I have spent most of the day trying to get L2TP/IPSec working in either of the two mUn ROMs (5.2.968 & 5.2.1413) and it does not work. This is a real letdown for me since this is one tool that is very handy. I suppose this is what you get when you use hacked ROMs from other devices
I have extracted all the files from the HTC Wing ROM that was posted in a previous thread (thanks to the Core kitchen tools) and even tried the Enterprise files from this but it still won't work. My suspicion now is that there is something else not right; maybe a driver specific issue with the Wizard. However I have reached my own knowlege limits here.....
I think I have flashed my Wizard about 15 times today and enrolled for a new Certificate from our CA after each re-flash..... luckily this is all in a test environment and I have control of the CA. I have contacted uses of other HTC devices running WM6 (Hermes in particular) and these don't suffer from this issue running the same base version (5.2.1413).
I don't want to move back to Faria's 5.2.318 ROM as this is now so old (in relative terms...) but I need L2TP/IPSec and this appears to be my only option.
If anyone has any suggestions then please let me know. Am I the only person who uses L2TP/IPSec VPN on the Wizard? surely not?
Thanks
Andy
O

OK, I didn't quite give in....
This was really getting to me so I started looking at this again today.......
I have a spare Wizard so took my main one (with ROM 5.2.1413) and compared the registry settings with my spare now loaded up with ROM 5.2.318. They are by default exactly the same in the IPSec & L2TP settings (HKLM\Comm\IPSec, HKLM\Comm\L2TP & HKLM\Comm\L2TP1), however once you have created the VPN entry on the 5.2.318 Wizard and connected it once an additional key is created 'HKLM\Comm\L2TP Line 0'. In here is another key '\Parms' and then again another '\TcpIp'. In this final key there are values for the IP address, mask etc.
Now currently on my main Wizard I have the Enterprise files from the 5.2.318 ROM (it just happens that is how I left it yesterday). Now if I create the registry keys but leave out all the TcpIp stuff it works........ Or at least it has worked a couple of times. I think I will rebuild my test Wizard with the original Enterprise files but with an additional Reg file to see if this works....
Things are looking up
Andy

Help, don't know which IPSec files I now have.....
I now have the L2TP/IPSec VPN working in my 5.2.1413 ROM, however looking at the various files provided by the Enterprise package I don't know where these are from...........
I don't know what I have done but the files that are now in the ROM that is working aren't the same as any I have on my PC in the various kitchen/dump directories. Is there anyway I can extract these from the ROM directly? I have tried using total commander but it won't let me copy files that are in ROM.
There are five files in total (ipsec.dll, ipsecsvc.dll, l2tp.dll, scard.dll & winscard.dll), I have checked and these are all slightly smaller than those in Faria's 'DEV_WIZcrossbow CLEAN-V2' ROM kitchen and even smaller than those in the 5.2.1413 ROM kitchen I have. I really don't know what I have done here......
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Andy

is the service or process still running? I just tried copying ipsec.dll to my sd card using total commander and it copied without issue. I don't use ipsec or l2tp with my phone, but i am interested in the solution. I can try the other files as well if you want me to.

I have just soft reset the device in case there was anything running. If I try to copy any of the files from \Windows to my SD card Total Commander throws a dialogue box up saying 'Target file exists, overwrite?'. If I say yes it says 'Cannot copy or move file!' I have tried a different .dll file and this copied OK. I think it has something to do with the files having the 'Hidden' attribute as that is the only difference I can see.
Plus, after a soft reset it now won't connect again
Andy

what size are each of the files?

ipsec.dll - 60936 bytes

l2tp.dll - 53464 bytes

winscard.dll - 16932 bytes
I think the last two don't matter as these are to do with smartcards. To be honest though this has not worked since I soft reset the wizard a few hours ago so getting these files is probably not going to help.
This is really pi$$ing me off as I can't understand why this worked at all (if only briefly). Although not something I would use everyday having the ability to connect to my network via VPN at a Wireless hotspot is an essential requirement for me. I don't know what else to try......
Andy

Right, OK it's still not worked since I soft reset this yesterday. Nothing has changed on my 'live' Wizard so I'll re-load 5.2.318 on my 'test' Wizard and get comparing again
Anyway I have just noticed something a bit weird when I have VoIP enabled on my 'live' Wizard. For example I connect my Wizard to the Wireless network and VoIP is configured to use it if it is available, so I see 'BT Broadband Voice: Selected' on my Today screen. Now if I attempt to connect the VPN there is a flash of the Telephone signal strength icon between the Wireless & Speaker icons at the top right of the screen and then VoIP gets disabled, I get a brief flash of 'connecting to VPN' then the 'cannot connect' dialogue box appears. What's weird is the VoIP getting disable (or at least shows 'No Service').
Has anyone seen this behaviour with any other network applications - i.e. VoIP dropping when they are launched?
Andy

After days of testing with alternative Enterprise files/re-flashing my Test Wizard I simply cannot repeat the sucess I briefly had with L2TP/IPSec VPN with the 5.2.1413 ROM.
If anyone on here can help me there is beer in it for you.
Anyone?
Andy

Last straw?
Can anyone on here help me? I can't be the only Wizard user who wants to use L2TP/IPSec VPN with Windows Mobile 6?
I have tried now for days (with very little support) and cannot get this to work. I have reverted my 'test' Wizard back to the final official QTEK 9100 WM5 release (9100rom with push mail_ship.exe) and L2TP/IPSec works flawlessly over wireless. I have attempted to extract the enterprise files from this ROM and put them in the 5.2.1413 ROM but I still get the same results. Since this feature has been around since the Wizard was released I would have thought it would be relatively easy to get working, however my thoughts are being proven wrong.
I was expecting the hardcore guys on here to solve this (major?) issue very quickly; it doesn't look like they can So the Wizard is probably going to have to be replaced with a device that does work, which is a shame really since everything else is good. I mean what other device has so much user-based support (except probably PC's and the Rover V8 engine?).
If anyone can help me then please post on here or PM me
Thanks
Andy

Even with Faria's ROM it only works once following a soft-reset. If I can get it working I would like it working in the latest (don't we all?).
Andy

I have managed to get a bit further but I am experiencing some weird behaviour, can anyone explain it?
OK I will describe what my current setup is and what is happening, its really weird, however it smells of some initialisation issue
Rebuilt the 5.2.1413 base ROM but removed the Enterprise files (4 directories) and replaced them with the 4 Enterprise directories from the 'Official WM6' ROM posted in the thread started by InGeNeTiCs (after extracting them etc). Flashed Wizard OK and go through initial setup. Now I connect to my Wireless network and save the profile, I then add a VPN connection on the Wizard that connects to my VPN router. If I attempt to connect it fails as before. Now if I disable the Wireless and soft reset the Wizard, then as soon as it has started whilst Battery Status is showing something like 12MB of Program Memory, I connect the Wireless and then attempt to connect the VPN it works. From this point on I can disconnect the VPN, reconnect, disconnect the Wireless, reconnect etc and it works every time
If I disconnect the wireless and soft reset again but this time wait until Battery Status is showing 28MB of Program Memory, then connect the wireless and then attempt to connect the VPN it fails and will never work again unless it is soft-reset and everything is started quickly I have tested this several times now and the behaviour is consistent.
If I try the same with the Enterprise files that came natively with the 5.2.1413 ROM it doesn't work. I am sure (although I haven't tested it) that if I used the Enterprise files from Farias 5.2.318 ROM I would see the same behaviour as I am seeing now with the files from the 'Official WM6' ROM - i.e. it working if I use this 'bodge'.
This smells to me like some initialisation issue at bootup that I am somehow managing to get around by attempting to start the VPN whilst the Wizard isn't fully initialised?
At least now I have some workaround, not perfect but a workaround none the less.
Does anyone know what process at boot up is likely to cause this behaviour? And more importantly how to fix it?
Thanks

Weather Update Issues

I was having problems updating the weather on my Touch Pro, but have since stumbled across a solution if anyone's interested.
The AccuWeather service is the problem. On the device, I went into PHM Registry Editor and navigated to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila then deleted the data in the REG_BINARY 'LastLaunch'. Next, I deleted the data in the REG_SZ 'Landscape.WebSearchURL'. Also, put a zero in the decimal value for the 'EnableCrashDumps' DWORD. I then did a soft-reset, and voila! weather updates now work for me.
Dunno what the hassle was, but that seems to have done the trick, so give it a try. I'm using the PDAViet 1.95.502.06.B20758 ROM - which is brilliant, thanks very much to the cook(s) - but it may just fix problems across any device, I'm not sure.
Just quickly, too - for those of you using that PDAViet ROM mentioned above - you have to get 'Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3' (can't remember where I got it from, the last few days have been a blur of info) and Enable the menu animations so you can see the Sun/Moon/rain etc.
Please leave a reply if I've helped in some small way

i think that it was only accuweather server side issue. And its been fixed.
All iv done was installing .Net platform 3.5 from microsoft site, soft-reset phone, then wanted to install weather database editor - but no need - after reset everything works just fine. No registry edits, no extra programs, just back to normal again.

Yeh, you're right. I needed .NetCF 3.5 to run the Advanced Configuration applet I installed, so it wouldn't surprise me if that was part of the solution. Great minds......

.NET Installation error
I keep getting an error message saying:
Installation Error. Stop all applications and processes maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info 2.
I have tried everything! Whats the problem?

Fuze Mobility Site
Head to www.fuzemobility.com and they have a new artical on adding weather cities. I can't believe how easy it was and that it worked GREAT. I'd only wish they could do this for the Tilt using TF2. I still can't get my local weahter on the Tilt. But using the steps on Fuze Mobility. Bingo on the Fuze.
Hope this helps.

Have you got any version of Microsoft .Net Framework installed in your PC already? What version and bitrate of Windows are you running (XP or Vista, 32- or 64-bit)? Is your Raph fully synched to Windows?
You have to have your device fully synched to Windows, and have at least Microsoft .net Framework 2 SP1 installed into your PC before you run the .net Compact Framework 3.5 installer. This will then install a part of the runtime into your PC before putting it into your phone. Note: many of the 'cooked' ROMs available throughout this forum already have .netCF 3.5 pre-installed, so check the post from where you grabbed the ROM to find out just what it comes with.
A simple explanation for those who may not know, .net Framework is like the artist's canvas for a software developer. If someone has written a program using the .net Framework SDK (Software Development Kit), then you'll need what's known as a 'runtime' enabled in your operating system (Windows) so their program will work properly for you.
Hope that's helped.....

install epocrates on WM 6.5; now w/ workaround solution

has anyone managed to get epocrates installed and working on a WM 6.5 rom?
or is there someway to resize Thomson's Clinical Xpert for VGA screens?
I've recently flashed the stock ATT fuze rom to one of Da_G's WM 6.5 roms. It's fast, stable, and has great battery life (currently sitting on my desk after 26 hrs+ w/ maybe 10% remaining, which is a tremendous improvement from the <12 hrs i was getting). Everything is fine and dandy, but the most important software for me does not work.
Epocrates installs but does not perform the initial autoupdate. it simply stalls at the update screen. I've tried both the wireless installation and desktop installation and both do not work. Speaking to their tech support, I've found that WM 6.5 is currently unsupported. Anyone get this working on a WM 6.5 rom?
In the meantime, i've installed Thomson's Clinical Xpert, but it's interface was probably designed for QVGA screens so the drop-down menus are not navigable on my VGA device. how can i go about resizing the application for a VGA screen (either through modification of the CAB file or if there is any application that can alter the resolution/stretch it)?
thanks.
workaround in this post below

Having the exact same issue- any help will definitely be appreciated. I love the new 6.5 interface and would prefer not to go back to 6.1 unless absolutely necessary

Same here. I just spent an hour trying to load Epocrates until I found this thread. I like the WinMo 6.5 much better than 6.1, but unless someone can find a workaround I guess I will have to revert.

Same here. However, I did revert back to 6.1, still no luck on installing Epocrates. Even disabled the Microsoft encryption setting. Still no go.

what wm6.5 build is everyone using? i've so far only tried it on Da_G's 21198.
i'm really surprised that epocrates won't install on wm6.5 as i don't think very much has changed in the architecture from 6.1. the issue w/ epocrates is that it installs, but hangs during the initial autoupdate. the actual application is installed and can be opened briefly (i can see the the on top etc.), but the data itself is not there b/c it cannot be synced. when trying to install via the windows desktop installer, the autoupdate progress bar pops up and the download starts, but quits with an error about the autoupdater conduit.
if the conduit can be fixed/tweaked perhaps epocrates will work? has anyone tried moving files from a working 6.1 installation to an aborted install on wm6.5? i'd try to do it, but right now i don't have the time to rebuild my wm6.5 setup, which is also why i haven't flashed to one of the newer 6.5 builds.
for the time being i'm using Thomson Clinical Xpert, but its UI makes the application barely usable on my Fuze.

That describes exactly my experience. I am using the FuFuROM based on 21202 on my HTC Diamond.

It's same with me. I reverted to 6.1 bcos of epocrates and UpToDate. epocrates wont install as e'one here said. UpToDate installs and runs but cant display the final pages. It seems to use the IE and the pages are stored inside .jar files. somehow it cant go inside the .jar files to display the html files. It says the pages are not available.
I hope these issues will be solved soon.
BTW, I'm using TESS Premium 4.3 by Aman in my Elf.

Same
Wow same here, that's incredibly irritating

i finally had some free time to tinker this weekend and i've got epocrates running on wm 6.5!
following my previous hypothesis, i flashed to an old 6.1 rom and installed epocrates and performed an update. then i copied the "essentials" folder from "Program Files" to my sd card. i then flashed to wm 6.5 (da_g's 21501 beta 4 kitchen) and installed epocrates. as usual, it could not perform the initial autoupdate. instead, i closed the update application, deleted the existing Essentials folder, and copied the Essentials folder from my sd card that was from the intial 6.1 installation to Program Files. epocrates now works! i didn't bother with any of the add-on components/programs as i mainly need access to Rx, Sx, Dx, and labs tabs. of course, you likely will not be able to update epocrates from wm 6.5 as the crux of the problem is the autoupdater module.

Post perhaps?
Hey just wanted to add my 2 cents saying I'm having the same problem. I'm using HTC fuze with Mystic ROM by vRC1.0 based on Da_G's 21500. It's also a windows mobile 6.5 ROM.
Anyhow I was wondering if someone could post a zipped version of the essentials folder that works, so I don't have to reflash my ROM twice.

anyone has idea about UpToDate thing in WM6.5. Eventhough there is a workaround for Epocrates, I'm still stuck with 6.1 cos of UpToDate. Any input/suggestions wud be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I found about UpToDate in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499741 but u hav to cook into ur own rom... too bad ..

i have an archive of the folder and i'd upload it, but i think it contains personal information. just flash 6.1 the next time you get around to flashing an upgraded 6.5 rom.

+1 for me too... I too would prefer not having to reflash again.

My Essentials folder won't be the same as yours. It will have my preferred insurance plans, for one thing.
Clearly, this hack allows ePocrates to run. However, it doesn't address the lack of updating, which is really one of the important features of ePocrates.
Since ePocrates is the primary reason I carry a smartphone device instead of a plain phone, I'll be sticking with a 6.1 ROM for now.

epocrates and active sync
I was wondering if anyone using the work around has been able to use active sync to sync with their computer. Does it break if epocrates tries to auto-update that way through the active sync? Is there a way to turn off the epocrates auto-updater so you can active sync?
I was able to use the work around without flashing my ROM. If you still have an old phone, you can have epocrates with Windows Mobile 6.1 on THAT phone, move the essentials to the storage card. Then install epocrates on your 6.5 device with the storage card in, and it works perfectly fine for me.
But now I'm afraid to sync my phone with my computer. I NEED epocrates to function at work. I want to be able to sync as that's one of the main benefits of a windows mobile phone, but keeping epocrates has to be priority one for me.
BTW, I checked with epocrates support, and they said they intend to support 6.5; they just don't know when.

Working now!
its now working officially with wm 6.5
greets,

A couple of days ago I installed the epocrates Rx on my brand new HTC HD2 (windows mobile 6.5) thru the standard installation procedure, and thought everything was running ok, until today that I just realized it doesn't support scrolling (I have to open the keyboard and use the arrow keys -extremely cumbersome!).
Then I searched on the Epocrates site for support and found this:
Question
Does Epocrates support Windows Mobile 6.5?
Answer
Epocrates does indeed support Windows Mobile 6.5.
While installation through a computer should be in essence the same as installing to a Windows Mobile 6.1 and older device, installing directly to a wireless Windows Mobile 6.5 device is a bit different.
Open Internet Explorer on your Windows Mobile 6.5 handheld and navigate to the following web address.
http://get.epocrates.com/?action=all
Please note that "www." is not part of the above web address.
Select the "Install Now" button for "Windows Mobile 5 and later."
Please take note of where Internet Explorer prompts use to save the Epocrates installer file (Main Memory or Expansion card). It is called:
OTAUpgraderSigned.exe
Open File Explorer on your handheld and navigate to My Device, My Documents. You should see the "OTAUpgraderSigned.exe" file there. Tap on it to begin the install process.
Should you encounter difficulties, please contact Epocrates support.
Don't know if anyone already tried the above, if so, please give some feedback. Does it work?
Anyway, I'll probably give it a try later in the day. Let's see what happens.

I have tried as Lovanova tells in his messagge but it still does not work scrolling in my HTC HD2.

Sorry to tell that this way described by epocrates support doesnt work in HD2.

hmm, you re right.
Scrolling does not work on HD2.
Damn!
They could at least update their product flag ship as so little that it doesnt look like MS-Dos-crap ... they ve got good looking apps on the iphone with nice fingerscrolling ...
its so ridicilous
