Did you make sure it's in the right directory?

yes! i copied my compressed wad right into the directory of the uncompressed and deleted the big one. i also tried to rename it from hexen.wad.gz to hexen.wad or hexen.gz but nothing worked.

Maybe you were thinking of PocketQuake...

no, compressed wad support is stated in the official pocket hexen readme. (but no word on how to do it..)

HookyDookySpookyDonkey or whoever made the Hexen port has a special compression application that used to be on their website. You have to use it to compress the wads.
