    Writing your own home screen application is possible. It is called the Launcher.

    You can get the source code of the default Android Launcher via Git.

    The project URL is:

    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Launcher2.git

    You can get the source code like this:

    git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Launcher2.git
    

    That will create a directory called Launcher2 for you. Now you can get cracking and create your custom launcher.

    If you need help with using Git then checkout Git’s documentation section.
