I have an application that uses the "navigation-based application" template in XCode.

Now I want to change it so that the first view that loads is a regular (custom) UIView, and if the user clicks a particular button, I push the original RootViewController onto the NavigationController.

I understand that somewhere, someone is calling this with my RootViewController:

- (id)initWithRootViewController:(UIViewController *)rootViewController

I want to know how to replace the argument with my new class.

if you want to replace the root view controller of your navigation stack you can replace the first object of its view controllers array as -

NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[self.navigationController viewControllers]];

NewViewController *nvc = [[NewViewController alloc] init];
[viewControllers replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:nvc];
[self.navigationController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
