ADW Launcher 2: A Revitalized Android Desktop Experience

You might think the original ADW Launcher hasn't been updated, but from a certain perspective, this update dropped three years ago—you just might have missed it! We understand that not everyone has the resources to keep up with every update.

We've considered Google's recommendations on app settings, but we believe in user freedom and customization. We haven't restricted options; instead, we've expanded them. The result? A launcher with unparalleled flexibility.

While the sheer number of settings might seem overwhelming, that's precisely what makes it so powerful. With approximately 3720 configuration possibilities, it's the ultimate customizable launcher.

This update boasts extensive customization options for screens, icons, and widgets—including the ability to create your own. Prefer pre-made designs? Utilize themes and widget packs. Is your home screen stale? ADW Launcher 2 lets you reinvent it. Your style, your rules.

Remember: "There's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only options inside ADW Settings."

Will you embrace the possibilities?
