Default ADW Launcher

Anyone still using this? I am, but haven't seen an update in a loooong time. Is apex o trebuchet better than adw?

I have ADW EX but I haven't used it in months. It's easy to use and before I had the Amaze I used to use it on my previous phone. It was a nice launcher but now it seems like a hog. Wish I can get my money back..lol

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Adw is quick and light on resources, but apex launcher pro is where its at nowadays! Plus I always felt like adw ran like crap on my HTC phones, always freezing and force closing. Go with Nova or Apex for ICS

I always use ADW before my amaze and for a little while after getting so I could use the ICS theme. Never had any problems with ADWEX, but since the ICS update I use Trebuchet just cuz I like how simple it is.

What ^^^ said. ADWEX is my fav launcher for Gingerbread, but Apex is what I use on ics

Why not go launcher?.. Doesn't go launcher work w ics?... I've always used it and thought it was the best.

I have always been confused as to why it's almost ignored on xda... I'd love to know why!

GO and ADW (and launcherpro before dev bailed ship) are the best for GB. If you are gonna be on ics, might as well use an ics launcher.

Indeed. I tried both Apex and Trebuchet, and I can say that I preferred Apex. It's imply got more options.
