I have the film "finding Nemo" in Windows media format, it is 117 megabytes in size, on the xda2 it works great using media player 9, on the xda1 using media player 8.5 it wont play. Any ideas why, on the xda it shows the timer wheel then says cant play file.
Maybe the video file is in the new WMV 9 format that can't be played by older versions of Windows Media Player.
FYI, when you upgrade your XDA to WM2003 it will include Media Player 9.

WM2003
So is WM2003 on that site the - "4.00.05 ENG ppc2003" option?
Is there anything I should know BEFORE I upgrade my XDA1 to that version from 3.17.03 ROM and 4.21.00 Radio?

yeah, download it like a nb1 file and upgrade your device with xdatools.
by putting the rom on your storage card en then reboot your device in bootloader mode (you can do that by pressing the power buttom and the do a soft/hard reste)
xda1 one update
I am in the same boat in the us with tmobile phone - tried to update using the page with os options, click on build button - no response. It just sat there. Is there something I am missing?
Maybe obvious, but you need to make sure you've slected a set of programs that will fit - the horizontal bar at the top of the page will be green and not say "OVERLOAD" - when the page first loads it has too many things selected by default.
I think there may also be an issue with one or two of the program selections. Once in awhile someone says they can't get the ROM build to run to completion without getting some sort of 'missing file' message.
For what it's worth I just ran the kitchen with Base ROM 3.17.03 selected and no add-ins - it ran fine (I didn't try to download the result).
sometimes the it takes a long while to build if many people are there at once
when it's don it should display a button called download
i went 4.01.00 yesterday when a program crash and failing to softreset forced me to hardreset
imho then there difference is not that big between 2002 and 2003
apart from no all software for 2002 works on 2003 and the other way around
Uhhhh..yeah that seems pretty obvious...now that you told me. I didn't know if that was a banner ad or something else at the top of the screen. makes sense now.

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.

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.

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
Hello everybody, I have an HTC Touch Cruise, and I have recently discovered this forum. Very interesting, but, as I am almost a total newbie, I am a little lost and I ask for your kind help
I have a few questions that you guys must have heard one million times, can I upgrade my operating system?, can I install a double boot with Android? If so what tools and ROM should I use?
I would be grateful if somebody would be kind enough to point me in the right direction to find the answers, and even more if could give me some tips straight away....
This are the info I have found for the phone
Windows mobile 6
CE OS 5.2.1623 (build 18129.0.4.5)

RAM size 128 MB
Flash size 256 MB

Thanks in advance to anybody that will feel like helping
yes you can flash any rom here. if going for wm 6.1 i'd recommend 3lit3 VIII found here.
for wm 6.5 recommended is megan rom foundhere
wm6.1 is quicker than 6.5. 6.5 is like vista, big and clumpy. same with vista, it's more of an interim operating system, until the polished 7 comes along. personally i run 6.1 still.
before flashing any rom, you need to flash hard spl to unlock the carrier id. see here.
see here for the complete idiots guide(no offense, i read it too), but this is NOT for polaris. it's for artemis, the predecessor of touch cruise/polaris. the .nbh files might be different, but the process outlined is still the same (active sync etc). see post 9 for the most detailed breakdown.
it's recommended to flash the original shipped rom first, then the one you want - so if you want a custom 6.5, flash original shipped 6.5 rom first, hard reset, go through the process again with the custom rom. no worries though if you wanna skip this step, you just might find the custom rom is glitchy. personally i do a double flash of the custom rom, to make sure all files etc are laid correctly. for english versions you want wwe (world wide eng).
this xda wiki page is useful here, there's a load costom and stock roms to go through.
some roms require that you flash particular radio versions. the radio is to with reception quality too. so if you've flashed and find the reception's ****, maybe try another radio.
as far as android goes, i tried it only once. there was no wifi and some other key features, so i sacked it off. you'll have to read up about it. basically though, the one i tried, sits on your memory card. you launch 'haret.exe' (i think) and it boots up android. you soft reset your device and you're back to windows. i know nothing of flashing permanently android or full dual booting.
for music i'd rec. nitrogen player.
for button config - hbutton. (eg. i have gps button press 1 for drop down start menu, hold until vibrate for tomtom, hold for 2 vibes for rotate screen to landscape). iexplorer button closes progs - but be sure to close apps down completely, rather than letting them all mount up and clog your system. this should be found under settings\system\task manager\button - 'close progs by tapping x'
you might wanna try spb mobile shell - more finger friendly, but quite a chunky app.
there's various freeware sites, this is one.
can't post any links to 'ppc warez' sites, as they're banned due to them having hacked software - tomtom, mobile shell etc etc, which is illegal.
man, there's soooo much. if the search results within xda don't come up with much, try using google followed by 'xda', eg. 'flv addon for tcpmp' or 'tcpmp flv working' (tcpmp is for video, avi, etc etc).
dude welcome to the world of ppc, happy missions. be careful when flashing. make sure you get it right.
peace
oh, another recommendation;
get tomtom or igo installed. get a car holder, charger, adaptor (for charge and music) and a stereo with an AUX input.
wack 6 or so gig of music on and configure the buttons (mine are gps: 1st vibrate - tomtom. iexplorer: 1st vibrate - nitrogen) this way when you're driving you can alternate between the two with minimal effort (and keeping you're eyes on the road).
navigation instructions still come through with the music (personally i like mr. t or yoda as my voices)
WOW!!!
Thanks so much for the info, and for taking the time to write all down, I really appreciate it. This will keep me busy for a while, thanks again

i don't get it. what do you exactly mean by "configure the buttons (mine are gps: 1st vibrate - tomtom. iexplorer: 1st vibrate - nitrogen)"???
and another freeware site:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/
i mean with the hbutton app, you can configure the hardware buttons to start up installed apps/execute some commands. mine are;
button 1 (gps):quick press = start menu, press until first vibrate = tomtom, press until 2nd vibrate = rotate screen.
button 2 (iexplorer):quick press = close current app, 1st vibrate = nitrogen (music), 2nd vibrate = cleartemp (freeup ram)
button 3 (camera): notes, calendar, calculator.
etc etc.
i was just saying that personally i like to keep my eye on the road as much as poss. so if you have the phone mounted on the windscreen (and hooked up to an aux/bluetooth stereo), without having to look, you can quickly - and by touch - bring up the music player.
if someone calls and you feel like changing what was playing (it will continue automatically), you only need press til 1st vibe to bring the player up again and access something else (obviously by sight now).
if your going somewhere you don't know and need tomtom, have both music running and tomtom (instructions are heard with music still playing), changing back to the player is easy - to change album etc - then press til vibe gps to bring tomtom navigation back on screen.
nothing major, just a personal preferance
So, after a lot of reading, I have done it and everything is working great. Thanks again for the tips.

ClockOnTop-24 Hours: Install and restart your phone
Nice to see that published your ROM here.
Nice, to bad its 6.1 (been using 6.5 roms)- though it works with Microsoft MyPhone right (- I can't remember if it was 6.5 only). Anyway might check out the rom later.
Been trying to make a rom with the 6.5 28008 files and XIP- but the kitchen keeps crashing at various stages- I've cleaned the files up a bit so it moves on a bit more- but it crashes when looking for a folder in one of the commonEA folders- iddno :/

Updated ROM for the people who still likes Windows Mobile 6.1 in the BenQ E72

Yeah, the link is not working anymore...I'll add the flashing instructions soon.
Switch off your phone and after that press "0" and connect the usb cable. Windows detects a new driver, and you need to install it. The driver is also on the package. After installed the driver you should do again the process to press "0" and connect usb cable, until you see the led blinking. Attention, you need to do this with the phone off. Now start P21DTDownloadTool_Crack.exe application do the following:
- flash.dio as OS
- OS after download not checked
- Click run and wait
Here is the link for the driver and tools:

First time flashing a phone
Do you lose programs that came with the e72 by flashing? Can you revert back to the previous program? do you lose wireless internet. First time flashing.
