If you believe that the original and best launcher of all time, ADW Launcher 2, hasn't been updated, think again! From a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, we might have released this update 3 years ago, and you just didn’t realize it yet. No need to worry, we know 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 choices, we've embraced the opposite approach. After all, without the freedom of choice, there's no creativity. The result? A launcher that's anything but boring.
You might find the sheer number of settings overwhelming, and that's a completely normal reaction. But trust us, your kids are going to love it. With an astounding 3,720 to 1 possibility of configuring it to your likeness, ADW Launcher 2 stands unrivaled, because as we all know, math never lies.
Yes, we've got screens, icons, and widgets too. But why stop there? You can even create your own. Prefer something ready-made? Dive into themes, widget packs, and template packs! Is your device's desktop feeling a bit stale? Just change it, Sam. It's your style, your rules. Whether you choose to do it or not, there's a setting for it. Tweak it, change it—shaken, not stirred.
Remember, with ADW Launcher 2, "There's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only options inside ADW Settings." Are you going to miss out on this?
