If people would like to contribute these things we would probably be happy to include them, but it's unlikely that any core developers will focus on them as we're more focused on the packaging aspects of python-for-android.

The launcher should perhaps ideally be a separate app that can attract its own development. I have in mind to try this at some point.

@ponyatov app icon is used, you only need to name a file icon.png and let it be in square shape. Custom splash is a nice idea, but it'll surely require Java code, because the launcher apk already has a default presplash, which is not accessible from outside (it's in .apk file). However, it's important to notice that the launcher is there for editing and testing and not for deploying apps, because it's very limited.
