What ADW Launcher is
ADW Launcher 2 is an Android launcher for changing a device’s home screen. A widget editor lets users create or modify widgets, which can also be shared and downloaded. The separate ADW Extensions add-on supplies widget data types such as weather, forecasts, and Gmail unread counts, along with reusable templates; a free Extensions Pack adds widget resources and templates. ADW Notifier 2 is another plug-in, placing notifications over selected app icons and allowing rules for them. The maker says the launcher supports screens of any size and any device. Google Play identifies the developer as ANDERWEB SL, based in Madrid, Spain, and lists [email protected] for support. Its developer-provided data safety section says no data is collected or shared with third parties. The listing calls this the final version for devices running Android below 2.3.x.
