ADW Launcher 2

If you think the original and best launcher of all time hasn't been updated, think again. ADW Launcher 2 has been revamped, and it's like we released this update 3 years ago and you didn't realize it. Don't worry, we understand not everyone has... 1.21 gigawatts to spend on staying up-to-date!

We've been keeping up with Google's recommendations on app options and settings. But as the ability to speak doesn't make us intelligent, we've done the opposite. Without freedom of choice, there's no creativity. The Launcher thrives on options.

You might find the excess of settings disturbing, and that's a totally normal reaction. But your kids are gonna love it. With over 3720 configuration possibilities, math confirms ADW Launcher 2 as the best launcher out there.

We've got screens, icons, and widgets galore. You can even create your own or use themes and widget packs. If your device's desktop is boring, just change it. Your style, your rules. Whether you do or do not, there's a setting for it. Tweak it, change it, shaken, not stirred.

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