This feature is actually implemented in bug 1076706.
There is a file called smart-home.json located under build folder in smart-home app. The content of smart-home.json is the card list for first time boot-up.

Currently it looks like this:

{
  "card_list": [
    {
      "name": "Television",
      "type": "Deck",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_tv_temp.png"
    },
    {
      "name": "Apps",
      "type": "Deck",
      "manifestURL": "app://app-deck.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_application_temp.png"
    },
    {
      "name": "Devices",
      "type": "Deck",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_device_temp.png"
    },
    {
      "name": "Dashboard",
      "type": "Deck",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_dashboard_temp.png"
    }
  ]
}

Each object in "card_list" is the card placed on Home view. OEM could replace content of "card_list" as they wish. Content of each type of card are written in _serializeCard() in card_manager.js.


For example, if OEM would like to place Music app at first on the card list, they could modify smart-home.json like this:

{
  "card_list": [
    {
      "name": "Music",
      "type": "Application",
      "manifestURL": "app://music.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp",
    },
    {
      "name": "Television",
      "type": "Deck",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_tv_temp.png"
    },
    {
      "name": "Apps",
      "type": "Deck",
      "manifestURL": "app://app-deck.gaiamobile.org/manifest.webapp",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_application_temp.png"
    },
    {
      "name": "Devices",
      "type": "Deck",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_device_temp.png"
    },
    {
      "name": "Dashboard",
      "type": "Deck",
      "cachedIconURL": "style/images/appic_dashboard_temp.png"
    }
  ]
}
