Hi all,
I would like to know how I can add the tasks for today on my homescreen. So I would have my appointments first, and beneath that my tasks for today.
I think it should be possible, because on a HTC dual touch it's an option which you can switch on/off.
I'd really like my to-do list on my homescreen...

I've got the 6 tab "HTC Homescreen" plugin installed on my AT&T Tilt.
Upon installation it included "Ringer Mode Selection" as one of the (9) launcher items. I accidentally removed it and now want to add it back, but when I attempt to re-assign it in the launcher, it doesn't appear in the app programs selection assignment list.
This launcher item is the one which allows you change the phone "ringer status" (on, off, vibrate, auto), and displays four ringer status boxes (icons) to select from. This item also displays & allows you to change the default ringtone sound.
How can I can get the phone "ringer status" selection item to appear in my launcher list again?
Thanks
Jazz
Ringer Mode Selection is actually a HTC Homescreen TAB
Thanks to Kavi's help via PM, I found the answer:
'Ringer Mode Selection' is actually one of the six HomeScreen TABS (Profile Tab), and not a launcher item as I mistakenly thought. I've now got the Profile (ringer mode selection) TAB back via HTC Home Customizer.

Umm just a word of caution if you use that tab and use calendar reminders. There is definitely some flakiness in the interaction between those 2 functions.
E.g. if you use calendar and have have events chime in to remind you of those events, then switch to slent or vibrate, sometimes those reminders will get shut off and wont ring even after you switch back to ring mode.
This has been a known proven issue for some time with the HTC Home app's "profiles" tab functionality. I thought it was fixed on the Kaiser, but I now know that it is still an issue. Its an issue with how it manages notifications in the WM database.
If you don't care about notifications, then it doesn't matter. But if you do, beware that sometimes you won't get your reminder notice or sound even if you switch back to ring profile after using the silent or vibrate profiles for even a short while.
I've since removed that tab from my HTC Home via the HTC Home Customizer app, and only use the Comm Mgr "Ring/Vibrate" toggle to make the switch back and forth. It works without causing the same issue above. A couple more presses, but nothing compared to missing meetings cuz the reminder doesn't fire.
Profile Tab (ringer settings) - "Sound: Automatic"
Jomo25, thanks for the heads up about the possible conflict with profile (ringer status) tab & calender reminders.
That said, can somebody tell me what the far right most 'ringer setting' called:
Sound: Automatic is supposed to do? Thanks.

Nice! So that is why that happens I could never quite place it when it happens once and a great while.
Know of any other good "touch based/home screen" profile selector?

If you have an appointment in the calender it will automaticly switch to vibrate.

Friends,
I installed vjtoggletodayalphaII and set the registry to hide the top bar completely.
I noticed after the reboot the bar is gone as anticipated. When I launch specific apps, like phone, calendar I see the cut off at the top and the today screen in the back.
Is there a default to have all programs expand to the new height?
Please advise!

What I miss is a possibility in the Hub calendar to see different appointments like scrolling.
Me too - very much. Would be a big improvment
likewise too would like it
Yes. A better month view would be nice as well.
Me too i would love to see a better calendar
I'm chalk full of ideas on a better calendar.
Month view seems to be a placeholder right now, as it has virtually no functionality other than selecting the day of the month. Would be nice if a quick tap produced a small pop-up showing the events of the day.
In the Day/Agenda views, I really don't like the vertical scrolling of days. Why not have the views be an option at the bottom of the screen and have left/right swipes to change days?
Lastly, the ability to configure default calendar entries. Most of my appointments run 90 minutes and I do not like reminders. Yet, to disable the reminder, I have to select More Details...
Post lastly... I'd like the live tile to have more than just the next appointment listed on it. It has the room for another 1 or 2 entries.
Apart from the prefix "Can I", or even "how do I" if I can, it's all in the heading really.
On my phone I have a screen of contact shortcuts, usually two per contact - ring mobile, send SMS. Some get ring work as well. Having a small family and few friends, one screen is enough.
I would like to bundle all of the shortcuts into one folder on the launch bar, but it seems that apps are the only things I can put on the launch bar and then stack into folders.
Or am I missing something?
I have seen the "People" app, but that allows only one entry and default action per favourite person.
Any help appreciated.

Coming from Android, I'm used to having calendar and to-do widgets on desktop so that I can get a quick look at coming events and tasks without having to open the app itself. Are such things possible on WP or would I have to open the app every time I wanted to check on something?
You can view your daily events on live tile and lock screen, but it is limited for one, closest event. There are apps in store, which can turn a live tile into a to-do list, so you will see it all the time. Opening the calendar is simple as one tap on the tile, and I am sure, you will get used to it.
