ADW Launcher 2
You may think the original and best launcherofall time has not been updated, because people assume that timeis astrict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* fromanon-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like wereleasedthis update 3 years ago and you didn’t realize. Don’tworry, weunderstand not everyone has…1.21 gigawatts!! tospend.Having said this, we’ve been reading a lot aboutGooglerecommendations on abusing app options and settings, andwe’vetalked a lot about it. But as the ability to speak does notmake usintelligent we’ve made all the opposite. You know, withoutfreedomof choice there is no creativity. The Launcher bores.You may also think “I find your excess of settings disturbing”andwe don’t blame you! It’s a totally normal reaction. I guessyouguys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.Inthe end, the possibility of configuring it to your likenessisapproximately 3720 to 1, what makes it the best launcherbecausemaths never lie.And yeah, we have screens, ¿and icons? for sure, ahh and wehavewidgets too, what more?, I mean what else?, in fact, you canmakeyour own. And if you prefer getting everything pre-made,usethemes! Or widget and template packs! ¿Is your device’sdesktopboring? Change it again Sam. Your style, your rules, Do. Ordo not,there’s a setting for it, tweak it, change it, shaken,notstirred.And remember, “There’s no such thing as ‘the unknown,’ onlyoptionsinside ADW Settings”¿Are you gonna miss it?*Endless Features*Most of the application have been reprogrammed and redesignedfromscratch.
