The best home launcher application. Amazing. Works flawlessly.
Highly recommended !
Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 LTE with stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2
nice launcher and good customizations.
I would like it better if the dock had infinite scrolling.
Sticking with Go...
can't update in App Center
Since installing the latest update of this, my home button no longer works, and my lock screen no longer works....setup a pattern lock, tell it too lock screen, but it does nothing and never locks.... Uninstalling until fixed.
update sucks. borders left and right?? less icons t fit on dock?? placing icons is a nightmare. how do I revert back???????????????
new version is missing standard dock bar. reverting back. lame update
The update fixes all issues with Android ICS (action bar too). Wow, this app is worth every penny! Have tried every launcher available but after the last update of ADW EX, there is no competition. Hopefully the next release will have some native widgets : agenda, Facebook etc like launcher pro. Bought that one too a year ago and ever since it is unmaintained....go ADW EX
The new dock system is horrible and the new ics style folders make it verry verry unstable. Going back to 1.3.3.1.
It needs a scrollable dock like GO Launcher EX.
Please.......
time for an update m8
Working great. So glad I purchased. I love it better than all the other launchers. HTC Evo
perfect launcher, using with eeepad transformer. @all that have problems with 3.2: when you press the home screen turn the tablet to portrait. this way the popup for choosing default launcher will show up...
WTF?
this launcher was perfect and after this latest update everything loads up in stages when waking the phone. please fix this
very un happy with app now everytime i hit the home button it reboots the launcher. please fix or ill go to a different launcher. ive seen this issue in comments a lot please update soon ive inly had one update since i got the app and have nothing but issues.
Has to reload all the time! After closing any app and even after unlocking screen. kinda frustrating.Been doing this since I purchased.I still use it because its the best though..just wish. that bug would get fixed.HTC INCREDIBLE
Thank you for the update! It so much smoother and I'm sooo loving the personalized presets! I'm so happy to be using ADW again! HTC Incredible
better app drawer now. however the widgets and app shortcuts on the homescreen are too sensitive. when I pinch or swipe it opens them. pls fix
nice. a little less buggy but clicks apps which pinching and enters them which is beyond annoying. htc desire hd
closes down after every time i hit home button when an app is open. fix please. droid 2
Update secures its spot as the to launcher.
I've tried Launcher Pro Plus, GO Launcher EX and Zeam, nothing is as smooth as ADW. I won't go back. HTC Desire.
Best of its kind!
keep up the good work =]
buggy buggy buggy . developer has abandoned this. avoid and get launcher pro or golauncher ex
Godd on Archos 101. would like to see cube transitions as a feature
The only app worth paying for. Htc desire.
loved thia but no updates in ages and had loads of fc's which is annoying as i loved this app. using go launcher ex now. that's where it's at.
In my opinion, Launcher Pro was better than the normal ADW. But this, this is something different. I've uninstalled LauncherPro, this is so so much speedier, and has better features. It's amazing, worth the money. I reccomend this to everyone!
Its great and easy to use but its quite sluggish in app drawer. running galaxy s with latest darky rom and speedmod so powerfull enough. please fix.that
also won't let me make a phone call sometimes. has froze up completely at least 4 times in the passed few days and had to remove battery just to get my phone to work again. Going back to sense again till made more stable. hopefully soon. I love everything about this launcher. if it was only smooth running.
was great after i updated last but now its really slow again. lags after unlock,won't let me use keyboard sometimes,sliding between screens is slow. frustrating. started getting fcs again. Im not sure what happened. I haven't installed any new programs that could be clashing with it either. iv reset my phone a few times and still the same. HTC Incredible.
There 5 stars! Thank for This its great!
I love it! This is so great. So many options its amazing. Afrer update it seems to run alot better! Thanks! I ment to put 5 star..oops!
Very good app. It will be nice to have a feature like manage applications when you press menu, just like in Gingerbread launcher.
no update on androidPIT only v1.2,where is v1.2.1...
this needs 6 stars. frequent updates, getting slicker, cooler looking and more and more stable. no launcher comes close. keep it up dev.
Please fix frequent fc...otherwise great app
Anyway i can get the .apk file? when i try to download from app center in just tells me that for security reasons it will not install the app on my phone... Samsung Captivate, rooted and i can side load apps... just cant seem to find the apk for this one... ive allready purchased and before i get a refund i wanted to see if i could get the .apk... higher rating when i can actually see this in acction
wow. great update. silky smooth. keep up the great work.
why there is no update on app centre?market has update adwlauncher EX to v1.1
Slightly better than LanucherPro, it doesn't have nearly as much battery drain. Once it's found all your apps under settings it really runs smooth and the abundance of settings is excellent, thats why I gave it a 5* rating.
Please fix the fc issue, otherwise awesome!
Love it, def best home screen app. Very fast and no problems. developer quick to respond. Would give this 1,000 stars if I could. Does need scrollable lock!
I like the ui but i get too many force close. Also very laggy. Please fix soon.
I can't download it
How can i get it on my phone,i look in my apps but where can i sync it?
Dieser ADW Launcher läuft endlich mal flüssig, die kostenlose Version hat bei mir dermaßen geruckelt das ich es gleich wieder deinstalliert hab. Aber jetzt einfach nur Top (SGS 2.2.1), jeden cant wert, hat jetzt meinen Launcher Pro ersetzt. Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir. :)
no regret to buy this awesome adwEX via paypal....
plain awesomeness!
Amazing. Very well done. Best launcher period. Very friendly developer and great customer service. Immediately answered an email and fixed and purchase issue. Highly recommend.
