ADW Launcher 2

You might think that the original and greatest launcher of all time has been left in the past, perhaps believing that time moves only forward in a strict line from cause to effect. But from a more *non-linear* and *non-subjective* perspective, we actually released this update years ago—you just didn’t notice. Don’t worry, we get it—not everyone has 1.21 gigawatts lying around to spend on such things.

Now, we’ve read through plenty of Google’s guidelines about how not to overload app settings, and yes, we've discussed it—extensively. But since the ability to speak doesn't always equal intelligence, we decided to do the exact opposite. Because without freedom of choice, there's no room for creativity. And let’s be honest, a launcher without options is just... boring.

You might be thinking, “I find your excess of settings disturbing,” and honestly? We don’t blame you. That’s a totally reasonable reaction. It’s clear you’re just not ready for this level of customization yet. But trust us—your kids are going to love it. In the end, the chance to personalize your experience exactly how you like it stands at approximately 3720 to 1. Math doesn’t lie—it really is the best launcher out there.

And yes, we have screens. Icons? Of course. Widgets too! What else could you possibly need? You can even create your own custom widgets. Prefer something already made? No problem—just apply one of our themes, widget packs, or template bundles! Is your current Android desktop feeling stale? Change it again, Sam. Your style, your rules. Do or do not—there’s a setting for it. Tweak it, reshape it, rearrange it—shaken, not stirred.

Remember: “There’s no such thing as ‘the unknown,’ only options inside [ttpp] Settings.”
