I am going to start my new app which is going to be a Home Replacement. I have been through the example provided by google. but i am still little bit confused.

like Where should i start? Should i create a normal activity by extending an Activity class then just set the background image(wallpaper) and use a grid view to show all applications?

How to make Android to treat my app as a launcher process?

so many question running in my mind and please don't advise me to go through Android Launcher because it has almost more than 100 classes and what i need is just a simple start after that i know what i want from my app.
