ADW.Launcher 1.3.3.9

Customize your phone easily using this neat launcher
People like to customize their phones and leave their marks, but it's quite difficult to find a launcher and provides all the features that one might need. Google Play Store has some launchers that are extremely complex and have a stylish design, but they also come with lots of ads and other apps that need to be downloaded.

ADW.Launcher is a highly customizable launcher with all sort of settings and changes that you can do to the interface. It also comes with a whole section of themes for your phone.

Sleek and intuitive interface

ADW.Launcher comes with an unusual tutorial, it launches with a guide specifying in detail what each feature does. It's nice that developers took the time to show users what features they might come across, but a visual tutorial with slides would have been more useful.

Also, tips and instructions could catch the eye of new users, since no everyone has the patience to read a guide to an app that they haven't even tried out yet. Still, the interface is really nice ADW.Launcher makes good use of visual effects and animation, making this launcher one of the best in its category.

Customize your phone

The menu is quite boring, but it does has icons for each of its sections. You can download all sort of themes from Google Play Store and customize them to your liking. The app lets you mix and match between your installed themes and custom images. You can change icons, the main dock, folders and the wallpaper if you want.

Users can also change the color, size and add shadow to text icons. Dock style can also be changed, users can add reflections in the dock or automatically have the app shrink the dock if there are less icons than expected.

Plenty of other features to choose from

You can also assign whichever function you wish to gestures and change the style of the app drawer. The app lets you pick from multiple background colors and change the drawer transition effect.

You can also select the number of drawer columns and rows to be used in portrait or landscape mode. The style of folders can also be changed and the launcher comes with multiple screen transition effects that you can pick from.

ADW.Launcher has many other minor changes that you can do to the interface, you can add widgets, arrange or resize screens and create custom shortcuts. Another nice thing about this app is that it doesn't have any ads and users aren't required to download other applications from Google Play Store.
