ADW Launcher 2

ADW Launcher 2 transcends the typical Android desktop experience, offering a dynamic and customizable platform that redefines your interaction with your device. Far from being outdated, this update, which might seem like a blast from the past, actually brings you innovations from three years ago that you might have missed. Don't worry—we know not everyone has the energy or resources to keep up with every update.

In line with Google's recommendations on app customization, we've embraced a philosophy that champions user creativity and freedom. While some may find the plethora of settings overwhelming, remember, "I find your excess of settings disturbing" is a common sentiment, yet this variety is precisely what makes ADW Launcher 2 the ultimate choice. With a staggering 3,720 to 1 configuration possibilities, it's clear that this launcher is unparalleled, as the numbers don't lie.

Your device's desktop can be as unique as you are. With screens, icons, and widgets at your disposal, you can craft your own look or choose from an array of themes, widget, and template packs. Whether you want to shake things up or prefer them stirred, there's a setting for every taste. As we always say, "There's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only options inside ADW Settings." So, are you ready to embrace this versatility?
