Hi, Is there any way of removing the private APIs so that the AOSP launcher may be used with any Android device? I'm specifically trying to first get the ICS AOSP launcher to install on any ICS phone, and then modify it with some features.
Would appreciate any pointers on how to remove the private APIs. I don't necessarily have to use Eclipse, I'm fine with "make Launcher2". Thanks.
