How do I sync with Google Tasks or some other sources??

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... Maybe it can't be done because it's a beta, or it doesn't sync with Google but with some HTC service.

Ya...it must not be a completed app. Based on the greyed out Settings>Accounts option and the "Refresh" option it looks like it is intended to eventually sync with a cloud-based service. I truly hope that it will be the Google servers. Their use of the color bars along the left hand side of the tasks makes me hopeful that it will be Google-based....
I use nuevasync as an exchange account with toodledo as a task manager. I've got it syncing without issue. Only certain exchange services will it support at this time.

It is more than just .apk there are system libs in there too. It won't work with 3.0 yet. Just got 3.5 its just as polished as 3.0 and appears faster to the naked eye. There are some wonderful. 2.3.5 roms.

any updates on htc tasks??
google calendar's recent updates integrated googles tasks as an own calendar and the tasks can be attached with due dates and notes which will be shown in the calendar. very very cool feature, but unfortunately this new "tasks" calendar is not shown in our htc devices as a standalone calendar which it should be :-(

Yeah that's a known issue with Google Calendar for quite some time. Tasks have been around for Calendar for well over a year. However it's googles funky way of integration that is the issue, not the Calendar apps. It's because Google Tasks are not true tasks nor true calendar, but a wonky hybrid.
My iphone and vanilla Android had the same issues.
What exactly is your problem with the tasks app?
Sounds more like your problem is Google, not HTC.
works great for me with toodledo through Nuevasync.
my problem is that "accounts" in HTC Tasks is greyed out. I want to sync Google's tasks with HTC Tasks app and want the Google Tasks Calendar to be shown as a standalone calendar on my phone.

Well I can click accounts (using virtuous affinity 1.46) but can only sync with exchange or use local lists.
Even if you could sync with google tasks it's a basic service, I would rather sync with astrid or producteev.
The accounts list is grayed out, because HTC Tasks sync works with Exchange ActiveSync. Add an Exchange account under Settings/Accounts and Sync, and you will be able to sync your tasks.
Hope this helps.

Ed
I added my google account as an exchange account and selected only tasks to sync but it never syncs any tasks?

Do any of the devs on here have any clue as to why there seems to be so many issues with Facebook Sync for HTC Sense ?
I've tried Fresh, DC and RegaW, and I'm still getting sync issues....
As we draw nearer to an official release, I'm hoping that it will be ironed out, but as of right now, Facebook Sync for me is broken.

It is because of memkill settings. The sync doesn't have a chance to get started. If you relax them, FB usually syncs in 5 mins.
This information is in the Damage thread. I know there a lot of posts in each Damage thread, but you're about to get flamed for starting a new thread for this topic.
Hope that helps and ignore the ones who just b!tch at you for this thread.
But I've always changed autokiller to default, and it's the same problem....

I tried everything under the sun, and it didn't work until I set that to default. Within 5 mins. it worked. Did that twice.
Sorry man.
hmmm. maybe i've got something else killing stuff.....aaaaaargh
Have you tried the forced refresh method?
im starting to think the problem is deeper than that if you actually dig deep into the sync setting you will notice that 2.1 has a Facebook Sync and HTC Sense Facebook Sync.
Menu - Setting - Accounts & Sync - Add Account
Exchange ActiveSync
Facebook
Facebook for HTC Sense
Flickr
Google
Twitter
You can make changes to the Facebook for HTC Sense but not for Facebook...
Possibility of the two of them clashing???
causing it to take longer for it to sync

I thought that as well.
I wonder if there's an apk you can remove....
The regular "Facebook" option controls the actual facebook app. If you bring up the facebook app and logout and then select that option it will take you the login screen for the app.

That's Completely understandable but still doesn't mean their can be a conflict from one of the .APKs from facebook
I too have had sync issues with Facebook for HTC Sense where it will only allow me to link my People contacts from Facebook until the letter L for my friends. Im running DC 2.07.2 and can't for the life of me find the autokiller app if there is one running. I've tried searching so if someone could help me tune it down to sync or explain the force refresh method I'd appreciate it.

Or better still, can anyone please explain how to REMOVE the memkill/autokill stuff ?
What can we do to have this left as default stock mem-kill ???
Also, has anyone actually PROVEN that the issue is with the mem kill stuff ? I mean is there a log that shows that the session has been killed halfway through running ??
That's why I initially asked if any devs have managed to look into this ?
I'm not good enough at all this logcat stuff to be able to give an educated response, but all I know if that it's not working properly, and I'd like to understand why....

That's true, they could still be competing. I've had varying results with Sense syncing. I was fine, had all contacts synced, could select to view fb contacts in the fb app, changed my facebook password re-added my account for fb sync in sense, now my linked contacts are pulling the fb info, and i lost the ability to select fb in the view menu.
when i first synced with facebook on 2.1 it only synced to the letter L like most people but if you leave it alone it will eventually pull the rest of the sync info from facebook
I used minfree manager and then removed the FB sync account. I then used the default settings in minfree and set up FB to sync again. My fb calendar was synced for about 12 hours but now its gone again. So it appears changing the mem killer helps but it is not a permanent solution.

Even after waiting and letting all my contacts sync, I still get multiple "View Facebook Profile" under friends that I have higher in the alphabet as opposed to having that option once for one of my friends whose name starts with a 'z'
what i've done every time i load a new 2.1 rom works for me and i've had 0 facebook link problems
i will sign into facebook/gmail/flickr on my first boot up
i go to photos/facebook tab and then i scroll to each person and let their thumbnail load
takes like 30 seconds to a min *i don't have more than like 75 fb friends*
THEN i sync my outlook contacts and it always works flawlessly

The Sprint Leak 2.1 took a long time to fully Sync probably a good 2 hours =/
my mem settings are now stock
echo "1536,3072,4096,5120,5632,6144" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and I'm still not syncing properly....
What's your opinion on which tool for multiple google calendars? Goosync? OggSync? Others? Pros/cons?
I want to be able to categorize and sync my multiple google calendars in a way that make sense, keeps things separated, syncs live and has push calendar capabilities, and easy to use on my phone.
Thanks.
Anyone have any input?
For a free solution and a good alternative to Oggsync, take a look at the ActiveGcSync project at milow.net. it's a little slow to sync but the job is done and the author is working on a new version to speed up the sync.

I have been searching all over and have been unable to find a solution to sync google tasks with the stock android calendar app. I am able to sync multiple google calendars.... but not tasks. I can view the tasks on my google calendar via the web, however there is no option for tasks when using the stock android calendar app. Anyone have suggestions for this? Thanks in advance.
there are various tasks apps that sync with google tasks. Astrid is one that I use.
No native app from google at this point.
Jorte works as a calendar and task app and you can have more than 1 task list I believe.

If you want tasks to show in calendar, you have to add them as events rather than Google tasks. This is because they are isolated items from the point of view of Google (I disagree) and this is why the calendar only shows events and not tasks.
If you don't want to install 3rd party software, you will have to go that route.
This is personally what I do too... For some reason android users have this strange fetish for getting apps for everything even though it should be native.
Sent from my I727
I agree that it would be nice if that functionality was built-in.
Another option is Tasks Free by Team Tasks (I'd search the dev in the store, the app title is too vague). Its more bare-bones than Astrid (but I don't have much experience with Astrid). I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it seems good.
Thanks all for the input. ill give astrid a try.
Ugh. This drives me nuts. I don't understand Google's logic on this one. If 'Tasks' are a part of 'Calendar', then they should be accessible in the same way as calendar events. I shouldn't have to have separate apps/widgets to view tasks and events. That's just plain stupid. They are both in my Calendar.
Adding Tasks as an event is annoying at best, and at worst you can't mark them complete or see overdue tasks. Using a shortcut to the web based version doesn't help and is an even worse workaround. No notifications or even a visible homescreen widget? No Thanks.
People recommend Jorte like its the best thing since chocolate and peanut butter. I've tried it twice and it comes off as Windowsy and way more complicated than necessary.
So I am left with a bunch of crummy choices, most of which involve me having to use a 3rd party app. Why can 3rd parties figure this out and not you Google? Thanks.
I hawe same troubles. Now I use CalenGoo - it's so usefull calendar with a task support. It have a separate widget for calendar (very usable and customisable) and for task (so ugly for me) but inside yhe mail application sinchrinise and show task and calendar relativelu good.

Thank you, I was having exactly this same problem and your post led me to Calengoo. It perfectly syncs Google Tasks and Google Calendar and both are visible on the same calendar on your android, and both sync instantly to your google account and show up on your desktop google calendar. The widgets are good too.
Cannot believe Google has not implemented this, there are so many posts on their own forums complaining about it all the way back to 2009.
Anyone know of an app for a calendar that I can sync to my wife's phone with the same calendar app?

What Calendars are you trying to sync? I know that for me I have my Outlook and Gmail calendars synced together with Google Calendar Sync, that way my calendar is always up to date with whatever ROM I'm running (Sense, AOSP, etc.)
I haven't tried anything yet...was just looking for a good app for this

Yeah, the stock Calendar will do this, as well as any 3rd party calendar apps that use Google Calendar as their data source. You and your wife just need to be using Google Calendar, and share your calendars with each other.
As far as specific calendar apps, Touch Calendar is my favorite. It gives you a full month view (6+ weeks actually), while still displaying the time and appointment description (a good # of characters, so you can actually tell what it is). Which is something that the stock calendar and other 3rd party apps simply do not do (or don't do well).
The free version of Touch Calendar works great as a stand-alone app. But if you want put the calendar on your homescreen as a widget (which I like to do), this requires the paid app. But I found it worth the couple bucks to buy the paid app.
If u r looking at a cal app, trust me...nothing but nothing can compare to Calengoo...

If you don't want to spend money and still have an awesome calender app try cozi.

I can't get away from Jorte, been using it for a few years now and it's still the best one that I've used.
I downloaded the google calender from the playstore and it looks the same as the built-in one (the one that comes with AOSP-based ROMs). thanks
Google calender syncs with your google account(s).

definitely not true in my simple test.
I created an entry using the downloadable google calender. wipe my rom and sync my calender acct to the cloud and it picked up the entry I made.
You probably didn't have it synced in the calander or have background data on. Works for me with no problems. A simpler test would be to create an entry then check online (PC or on your mobile web browser).
