I would like to build my own launcher application.
Beside modify the Launcher.apk in the SDK, is there any other method
to replace my own application as the home menu?
Thank you very much.

Look in the following directory inside your Android 1.5 SDK:
platforms/android-1.5/samples/Home
That contains a sample replacement Home application.
I suspect there is at least one other open source replacement home
application, though I am not certain.

Thank you for your fast response.
However, it reports error on startup again and selected the "Home
Sample" options.
As I need to restart my emulator to run the launcher, is there any
method I could debug for that?

It will pop-up a dialog to let me select my application or original
Home to start with.
Could I set any attribute to bypass this dialog force to use my app as
launcher?
Thank you very much
