ADW Launcher 2

If you believe that ADW Launcher 2, the original and best launcher of all time, hasn't been updated, think again! From a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, we released this update three years ago, and you just didn't notice. We understand not everyone has 1.21 gigawatts to spend on staying updated!

We've taken Google's recommendations on app options and settings to heart, but rather than limiting your choices, we've done the opposite. After all, without freedom of choice, there's no creativity. The launcher thrives on user customization, not restriction. If the plethora of settings seems overwhelming, it's a normal reaction. But rest assured, the possibilities for configuring ADW Launcher 2 to your liking are approximately 3720 to 1. And as math never lies, it makes ADW Launcher 2 the best launcher out there!

Beyond just screens and icons, ADW Launcher 2 offers widgets, and you can even create your own. If pre-made options are more your style, dive into themes or widget and template packs. Is your device's desktop feeling stale? Change it again, Sam! Your style, your rules. Whether you choose to tweak or not, there's a setting for it. Customize, change, and personalize—shaken, not stirred.

Remember, "There's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only options inside ADW Settings." Are you going to miss out on this?
