I like so many have used this app for years. Hands down one of if not the best. However @developer. the last few days I have noticed an issue With widgets, Google calendar and weather clock are having random issues and failing or not loading. If you remove it and reapply it works but will fail again. Please fix. Something changed with Google or a Samsung update. Over all still an awesome app

Great Launcher app, highly customizable from colors and fonts to themes and skins all the way to dock and status bar types and window transition animations to home screen and app drawer layouts and customizations. Highly recommended for anyone still running a phone using Android 4.1 or earlier. Really fun, satisfying, and efficient and most importantly reliable Launcher app. I've got mine running with an old school cynogen mod 9 ROM. I love it.

Thanks. Bought a Lenovo tablet, which I love,but the Launcher is silly. Saves apps directly onto the desktop, not into an "apps store" on the device. So, if you remove something from the desktop, you uninstall the app - crazy. Was going to send back the tablet to QVC, then remembered that I used to use ADW on my Archos tablets, so installed it on my Lenovo. Perfect. And now I use it on all my Android phones. I've used it for so long that I'd forgotten it's not the standard Android Launcher.
