No, short of hacking the app on a rooted phone. Bear in mind that there is no single "Android home screen" -- there are probably a few dozen in use on production hardware and uncounted home screens you can download from the Android Market. You can create your own home screen app (see the sample app you mention). Users will then have a choice of running your app or the built-in one when they press HOME. If they make your app the default, they will go to your app exclusively when the press HOME, until they remove your app or launch in safe mode. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 4.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
