Yes, it can be replaced. Instead of mthome, we run Hildon. Simple as that, if the binaries can be compiled.

I've done quite a lot of work trying to build it, but I'm not sure I will find the time to keep on trying. If anybody wants to try I can share my sources folder, with the modifications done so that most of the things compile for harmattan.

I know this is an old *** thread - But I like the work 
Have you/or anyone managed to get the HILDON GUI to run??
I always failed to get Hildon to run. I tried to install VNC and stream the GUI that way. Never worked for me.
I see you're using run-standalone. I'd like to run the entire OS/GUI.

Well, looked into this thread and thought the same, but about inverse MeeCoLay
I know how much work required to bring many of those MeeGo libraries and finally, having to rely on other library versions, I have to wait until the libraries are updated (so it might take quite a long time). So it's futile (or at least requires too much work) to backport each and every package. (e.g. tuner didn't work without a rebuild) Even after rebuilding some of the packages, still weird errors occur when it comes to themes.
And thought: so maybe chroot?
The question is: do we really need to run it in hildon-desktop? In Easy Debian you can either use the LXDE or run it as a hildon window (`debbie gnumeric`, e.g.). The idea is: let's do the same - run Maemo apps on their own. (just like the early fapman approach)
The problem might be: we don't have the top bar (so we can't go back and access the menu) and we have that useless mcompositor bar. But maybe we can kill two birds with one stone - move the back button and the menu to the useless mcompositor bar!
Of course, we'd still have to launch some services, but only the required ones.
Please note that these deliberations are highly theoretical. I don't know to what extent they can be applied or how to apply them.

Ok, more thoughts: we'd need to find what's responsible for giving the Maemo buttons their Hildon shape. And what daemon is used by libosso1.
But I'm not going to pursue this on my own. I know how much work was needed for MeeCoLay
Btw. about the tutorial: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=14
I'm trying to do the same to get the Harmattan rootfs. I created nandsim for 1 GiB so that the N950 image fits and dd-ed. Skipped the ubi stuff because N950 doesn't use ubi. Mounting /dev/mtdblock0 gives "can't read superblock". Read somewhere it might have something to do with endianness. Will the rootfs work after the endianness conversion?
