Dianne thanks for your answer. Well, at the moment I don't want to place my Launcher on the Market, but only to do it for a private use on my Froyo 2.2 device. My idea is to compile the default Launcher in Eclipse and to modify/ extend it with different features, as ADW Launcher did.
How can I do this? I'm thinking to re-compile Android from source code, is the right way? Please answer me.
