What actual launchers are open-source? I need launcher for 2.3+, but not launcher-plus or ADW, because they are not supported already. Stock ICS+ launcher is not compilable for 2.3.

according to the list on wikipedia , only a few of the launchers are open source.

however , a launcher is a very simple app . the UI itself is the one that makes the difference.

if you wish to start from scratch , you can test out a demo of a launcher made by google :
