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?

With some Android phones you head to Settings > Home, and then you choose the launcher you want. With others you head to Settings > Apps and then hit the settings cog icon in the top corner where you'll then options to change default apps.
Nova Launcher You can't talk about the best Android launchers without a mention of Nova Launcher. Fast, sleek and highly customizable, Nova Launcher balances extensive appearance and utility customizations with a minimal performance impact, letting you set your home screen just right without slowing down performance.
It's where your installed apps can be accessed (even if you have to dig into the App Drawer), and it is where most people will go to launch any of their applications or games. Most stock Home Screen apps (AKA Launchers) come with the most basic of basic features.
