Customized Android launcher

We are looking for someone to help us build a customized Android launcher application. All the features we want to implement can already be done on ADW launcher by manually configuring it.

You can implement our requirements by modifying the default Android launcher (source code of it can be found in Android's repository) or modifying ADW launcher, mainly simply by changing a few XML files or modify using another open source Android launcher.

Upon completion of this project, you will be given opportunity to help us a design and build a more complex version of the Android launcher, which will have a UI suitable for a TV display, without touch screen. The launcher will have a UI suitable for a TV screen, may look similar to Windows Media Center, XBMC (<[url removed, login to view]>), Xbox, PS3, etc...

## Deliverables

I need the launcher to have these AWD launcher settings by default.

Number of columns = 8

Number of Rows = 7

Number of desktop screens = 1

Main dock style = none (the setting when you press Menu -> ADW settings -> UI settings -> Main dock style)

Hide Icon label (the setting when you press Menu -> ADW settings -> Screen preferences -> Hide icon label)

Put the default desktop icons as shown in the attached screenshot, i.e. Gallery, Music, Browser, App drawer

Put the Clock widget on the desktop as shown.

Hide these menu options -> 1) Edit, 2)ADW settings

For the app name, just call it TV launcher (.[url removed, login to view])

For the app icon, please use the default application icon

(This app will be used on a 1080p TV screen in landscape mode.)

--------------

Some of the XML configuration files we found in ADW launcher.

<[url removed, login to view]> The default XMl looks like this: <[url removed, login to view]> These seem to be the relevant XML files from res/values: <[url removed, login to view]> <[url removed, login to view]> <[url removed, login to view]> <[url removed, login to view]> and if you need to change colors: <[url removed, login to view]>

Note: we had hired another developer to try to build this using ADW launcher for us but he encountered some serious errors in

11 files, e.g. the use of non-assigned variables. He tried to change

the target Android version (should be Eclair), and even included the Google APIs, without much success. It's like the source code is incomplete, or there are missing libraries.
