Help Anyway to create your own tabs that show up at the bottom of Apps screen?

[Periphery]

Hello all

In the App Folder with Menu pressed there is an option to Edit Tabs. When pressed there are only two defaults. Is there anyway to make your own Tabs?

Thanks.

No, unfortunately not. What you see is what you get in the application tray. They only allow you to rearrange the stock tabs (there may be a 3rd party program or you could root for more customization)

My workaround is to create a folder with the needed applications on the homescreen.

You can accomplish this by long pressing the home screen to add a new item. Tap the second tab on the bottom labeled 'apps', then select individually which applications you want to group together and they will be sent to the home screen. To start a folder simply long press one of the application shortcuts and drag it over top of one of the others and it will pop them together into a folder. Then drag all the other application shortcuts into that folder.

You will then have a more easily accessible and customized 'app tray' at your fingertips

Another nice feature of ICS is that you can create a similar folder/app tray feeling straight from the dock, simply by dragging apps directly to one of the 4 placeholders.

For example, I've got Phone/People/Messages/Mail in the first position on the dock, Facebook/G+/Chrome/Maps in the second, XDA/Phandroid/PPC forum apps in the 3rd, and a plethora of Google apps in the last. This gives my screen a clean look w/o folders, and allows for a widget or two.


Stock HTC Sense only allows for a dock w/ 4 positions, but other 3rd party launchers (Apex, Nova) allow for a scrolling dock w/ multiple positions. Feel free to give it a try if you haven't already!

**EDIT** - Requesting MOD delete. After reading the above post, I think we're both explaining the same feature! OOOPS!
