Making an app that changes background of the iPhone's spring board

I've tried to look over but couldn't find what I really want.

I'm planning to make something similar to Icon Skins app on app store; That is an app that can change your spring board background from a selection of images in a gallery.

I have a bit experience on coding with xcode and objective-c (I used cocos2d a while ago).

Could anyone give me a direction where should I start from? Is there any framework I could work my app on other than the iOS SDK itself?

Thank you in advance,

What you are going to need is a server to load the images from and a way to display the images in the app. This WWDC 2010 Session is a great tutorial to use in terms of displaying the actual images. After the images are displayed, you will need a way for the user to save them to the camera roll and change it to their background, as there is no API that will automatically change the wallpaper (as far as I know).
