Solution

  • You could do this in several ways:

    1. Have your app act as launcher ( set launcher declarations in manifest and set it as default launcher)
    2. Modify your default launcher (e.g. Launcher3) to start the app when the launcher starts.
    3. Modify SystemUI app to start your app when it first starts.
    4. Modify SystemServer or one of the system services ( e.g. ActivityManagerService ) to start your app when the correct boot phase is reached (e.g. PHASE_BOOT_COMPLETED )
