  • Are you creating an Android device or an Android app? – slayton Jan 17 '12 at 14:44

Yes, you can definitely create a home screen replacement. To do that, your app must have an activity with android.intent.category.HOME in its filters (in AndroidManifest.xml). That's how the system knows which application will display the home screen... For more info:

(Search for android.intent.category.HOME to go straight to the point)
