Tasks-Active Tasks

Hi,
I have a problem with the tasks app.
Since I upgraded my Prophet to WM6, in the Today screen appears the tasks plugin showing the text "6 active tasks" (for instance) as usual.
When I enter in the app, it shows all the tasks, if I tick the filter Active tasks, it shows all the tasks but the completed one, even if the start date is in 3 months . I was used to get just the 6 announced by the today screen and that's what I would like to have.
I've looked for a solution using the search but as tasks is a quite common noun it's been in vain. Is there any hint about how can I fix it?, or where could I find an old tasks cab or package to cook a rom?
Looking forward to any help.
Thanks

upgrade calendar in touchflo?

I recently bought the Touch Pro (my first WM device after using Palm for years), and I am happy with most of it. What I just do not understand is why the calendar is so limited. You can merely view the month and scroll through months. To actually view appointments or change them you have to open the calendar app. This is totally ridiculous! The calendar screen should be the interface to reading your appointments and interacting with them. I have searched the forums to see if anyone has added this capability but have found nothing. I would be happy to pay for a PIM that truly integrated with the TouchFlo screen. I appreciate the modifications that you guys have done to the appearance (changing dates, adding themes etc), but I do not understand why someone cannot modify the calendar page so it shows the live calendar app as it were. If someone has done this and I have not found it, then sorry for making this comment - please direct me to it. If this cannot be done, then there has to be a better launcher than TouchFlo out there, and I would appreciate someone directing me to it.
With thanks from a complete beginner...
The app you need to replace the calendar with one of your own in TF3D is here:

I too have used Palm and Agendus for many years.
I tried Agendus on WM but was very disappointed at the performance.
I am now using Pocket Informant.
Thanks for this. I successfully ran the program and now when I click on the word 'Calendar' on the home page, PocketInformant opens (thanks for the tip, taninu, it looks really good).
But this is not really what I meant. On my Touch Pro, I have a tab which displays a static calendar (if I edit using DiamondTFD, it is called 'unknown' so maybe this is not standard in Europe?). It is this calendar that I would like to display PocketInformant. I noted the below post, which I wonder is maybe referring to the same question? In any case, do others have that calendar tab? (same level as home, people, weather, MP3, mail, internet, call history, SMS, settings, programs, photos - 12 in all).

Can't wait for your next release.
I was searching now 2 days for it. Finally I found that the element-management is damn hardcoded:
- 1 AlldayElement
- 1 CurrentElement
- 1 NextElement
Patching smt like this is some level too high for me.. I'm sorry..

Any idea of supporting Last view setting using windows smart phone.

Back Ground 4 All Tabs - Sync Mobile Contacts Only - What's Up?

Hi all,
Absolutely love the work here.
I've been averaging a weekly rebuild on my HD2.
So much so that I've got a step-by-step instruction folder.
The last rebuild yesterday from a blank home page. Go figure.
I've been looking for a BG4all.cab
for my Dusk Theme GreenGlob.PNG background.
I'll find a BG4All.cab
but it either doens't work at all
or it will install a different background than the one I want
and will sometimes install other things as well.
Just wondering if its really complicated
or are we too busy with more interesting
development work to focus on this issue?
i.e. a BG4All.cab with accompanying graphic of our choice.
Again, just asking. Not criticising at all. Certainly not my place.
-----
I've also been looking for a Sync to Mobile Contacts.
i.e. I've got 300 Contacts in Outlook on my PC.
I have an HD2 I use for contacts that I visit once only.
I would like to sync my HD2 with my OnceOnly contacts catagory from Outlook. And NOT bloat the HD2 with the other 300 contacts.
Anyone know of a way or have a software update to select only certain contacts or catagorys from outlook to Sync?

All my best,

[Q] How to fully customize repeating settings in calendar?

Am I missing something? How can I fully customize the repeating settings for a calendar entry while on the phone? With WM it gave me all kinds of options in regards to how to repeat & time frame, but on Android not so much.
Example: I want an event to repeat monthly for 6 months only, only get an option to repeat monthly with no way to set time frame.
It seems ridiculous that I need to create the even in Outlook & then sync to have it set correctly.
Thanks
It sucks but it can't be done on the android google calendar. If you want to set up an event like that you have to do it through the website to do it(it will show up right on your phone but you won't be able to edit it). I don't know why that functionality isn't in the android app, very dumb if you ask me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Yeah you will have to do it on a PC or through a Website on your Sensation. I faced this problem with my Live Calendar. I used Windows Live Mail on my PC to create the Event as desired and then synced my Sensation. Event is there and displays correctly. If you absolutely have to have it included in your phone, I think a replacement calendar app could do it. Don't know any however.

I know this is an old thread (but you never know it might come in handy for someone if they use the search function).
The way I work around the fact that you can't set a time frame for how long you want the event to repeat for is this:
1. Add your event in and select what repetition you want (e.g. weekly, monthly etc.).
2. Go back to the monthly view of the calendar and find the first instance of the event after the last time you want the event displayed for (i.e. if you have a monthly event you want repeating for 6 months then find the 7th instance of the event).
3. Long press on the event and select edit, and then select "change this and all future events.".
4. Edit the event and set the repetition to "one-time event" and save it.
5. Delete the event you have just edited to be a "one-time event" and you will be left with the event repeating for 6 months.
It's not too much hassle, and it saves you having to log onto a computer and do it from there. I add my late shifts into my calendar, and used to add them one-by-one for each day before I worked out this work-around.
