Delete android launcher and replace it with my own

I have an app which I want to use instead of the standard android launcher. When I start my device I want it to show up instead of the launcher. I noticed this was possible and it works except if I press the "Home" button both my launcher app and the standard android app are shown. I want to delete the launcher from my tablet either programatically or manually so the only app I can use the tablet for is my launcher app. Any help is appreciated.

You have to be rooted.

  1. Open fx (make sure you have the root add-on)

  2. Go to system/custpack/unremovable/withoutlibs

  3. Delete the launcher apk

You can't. Otherwise this would be a huge security risk. If the user checks the checkbox "Always use" (I think), that dialog won't appear again.
