Make way all ye’ custom third-party launchers for Android that are doing the round these days, the original, most customizable launcher, ADWLauncher, is back, and it is back with a bang. Almost a year after the last version of ADW came out, its developer has updated both the free and paid “Ex” version of the launcher for the latest version of Android.

The update, carrying version number 1.3.3.7, completely revamps ADW with a new look, including a new visual way to add widgets and shortcuts to the homescreen. And while the free version of ADW was always slow and laggy, the updated version is blazing fast, with smooth and attractive animations all around. It’s a major update, and carries its signature customization options, with a lot of additional functionality added.

ADW has always had a huge fan following, and the new version should see the likes of Apex or Nova Launcher getting some tough competition (launchers which take a lot of inspiration from ADW). Grab the new ADWLauncher by visiting the links below, and do let us know what you think of the new and updated ADW!
