Hi, You cannot replace them physically in the system partition. However, you can make your application respond to the same intents as the core apps (for instance, HOME for the Home app) and the user will then have the choice (with the option of which application to use by default) between the core app and your app.
There really is nothing special about this. Just proper use of intents and intent filters :) On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 7:09 AM, Marc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Does anyone know for sure whether it is possible to replace the > default standard applications (under /system/app) with my own.
