SubOrbital allows you to add, remove, and rename additional launcher tabs for the webOS Launcher. You may not change/remove/rename the existing tabs (APPS, DOWNLOADS, FAVORITES, SETTINGS), but you can add and name your own.

took my Games tab away, and I don't know how to get it back!
I tried uninstalling this app and rebooting, and now I have 2 settings tabs. No way to rename the first one, which is actually my game tab, renamed by this app.
tried to first create a Music tab and this is where all the trouble started. HELP!

Hi, Steve. Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We've got a thread in the forums going about the various issues. My suggestion would be to uninstall the preware patch that added the Games tab. Then you can either delete the extra tabs with suborbital and remove it or add the Gamest tab back with suborbital and keep it. If you opt for the former then you can reinstall the preware patch. The link to the forum can be found on this page under "Discussion, Changelog, and Support"
It took away my game tab and changed it to settings and all apps in that lost. Be carefule it has glitch. Be careful before installing it.
Now how to fix this problem. Help
Similar.
'Add Launcher Tabs' App already installed.
Installed SubOrbital, Luna start, press 'New', enter new Tab name, Luna start.
'Games' Tab became 2nd 'Settings' Tab.
No extra Tab visible.
Went to 'Launcher3' and deleted 2nd 'Settings' Tab.
Back to square one.. all original Tabs visible.
How many extra 'Tabs' are theoretically installable?
Cheers.. a great App and well needed!
:)
sounds like add launcher tab may need to be removed before installing this patch?
this patch is much needed but we need a little guidance.
Tuzz: Suborbital is an 'App'.
So You mean uninstall 'Add Launcher Tabs' Patch?
'Hiddenpremise' reckons: "..I don't believe so. It should work with it just fine.."

Hhmm..

Mutoidi, It seems like the patch and the app are not playing nicely together after all. Sorry about that! I would try removing the preware patch and re-adding the tabs with suborbital. I am working to fix the conflict between the patch and my app.
your app is what we really need. If I remove the patch before installing the app does that address the problems? How many launchers can your app support?
I would really like to use this app, but not in its present state. I hope you can fix it soon! This will be a much needed add on when it is fixed.
it seems, i´m a real noob... i want to use this app, so i searched for the .var/.../launcher3 for backing it up, before use... but i can´t find the .var folder in USB mode. any hints?
and yeah.. this is an app, i was looking for!
thx
I had the no games and dual settings launch tabs. I uninstalled Suborbital, removed the add launchers tab patch, rebooted, and reinstalled this software. Problem solved.
Great app.
I do recommend doing the Launcher 3 backup as recommended. I used it a few times until I got everything setup properly. I used Internalz Pro to find , copy and save a backup of the folder.
I removed sub orbital did Luna restart and installed beta 2 from preware but when I open it, it says beta 1 and still does not work. I know it's beta, but it has not given me a chance to test it. I add tabs and they do not show up , nor do they change any files. I have a touchpad v3.04.

I can tell you this app is much needed and will be in high demand once it is cleaned up. If "folders" could be put in where the quick launches are ( like IOS) that would be a great benefit. Looking forward to the beta 3.
this app just does not work for me. I enter new tabs, do a Luna restart and nothing happens. Some info.using uberkernel 1.7, webOS 3.04 on a touchpad. Please help me solve this.

it really sucks that body Responds to my last two posts.
I would like to use this product.

Stublum98, there is a requirement for "SysToolsMgr", which is available through preware or WebOSQuickInstaller. Please use the official forum link posted above for future support.
I've noticed that if you move DOWNLOADS to a position other than the second one App store downloads goin what ever launcher is in the second position. It is not a big deal but users should be aware.
it seems to work fine. Just the App i was looking for. If it would have the possibility to ad Additional rows, it would be perfect.
I love this app.
What happens when webOS 3.0.5 comes out later this month?
I know many patches need updates when webOS versions roll.
I agree with request for launcher rows. That would be fantastic.
