How do I create a home-screen replacement application? Is there any information about the home-screen application available?

Can any application be a home-screen by just registering it with a CATEGORY_HOME intent?

The specific Intent to make your activity the Home screen is:

<activity....>
<!-- Put this filter inside the activity to make it the Home screen -->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
