Can anybody tell me where to find information about how to write a custom home-screen replacement application? Can any application be a home-screen by just registering it with a CATEGORY_HOME intent?

A:
Writing your own homescreen application is possible. You can find the source code of the default Android home screen on their Git source browser.

Don't forget to take a look at the source code of ADW Launcher as well: http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/

but both the android launcher and adw-launcher don't compile on eclipse with android sdk. is there anyway to make them work on the sdk ?
I'm trying to build my own home screen app. Do I have to download entire android source code and do a build on linux for the above two to compile ?

You should create a new question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask) for this.

@cmattmiller The best way for you to get an answer is to create a new question. You can add a link to this question in your new question, but you're unlikely to get an answer otherwise. I'm afraid I don't the answer either.
