[Q] Modifying (android ROM || AOSP source code) to run a tablet with only one app

I'm using Lenovo Ideatab A3000-h,

I want to make it to be set to run only one app after booting, not even the home page could run then, it will open at the app and still at it forever, I know it's a common need and this has been asked a lot of times before, So, after searching I discovered that there is three options :

1- Creating my own Custom ROM.

2- Making my application a launcher application using android manifest.

3- run a kiosk mode like surlock.

4- Modifying AOSP source code.

So, after a lot of search, I found that the third option can be easily broken be entering the tablet in safe mode and try to remove app then, or by removing it from accessing the tab by PC, and the second option can be broken by the same way.

So, all I got now is to use either the first option or the forth option, and when taking about the first option, thanks to NeroYoung I already know how to:
  • setting up android kitchen.
  • modifying ROM img files and jar files.
  • modifying build.prop.
  • generating the resulted Custom ROM.

but I don't know the way to reach my needs by customizing a ROM, so, all I want to know is how to modify the custom/stock ROM to achieve my requirement of booting to only a specific app. also if there is another way by making (System Backup ----> Modify ----> Restore Modified System) it will be great.
and when taking about the forth option, I already downloaded the source code and did know how to access it's resources, but don't know where is the source code that controls the start-up process and how to modify it. thanks in advance for all future contributors.
