It's possible for apps to modify the file system without the phone being rooted? I thought I saw that to use the "open" call you had to make sure your app a handler of the filetype, which seems like it would require root access to change.
If you could execute shell commands from within an app, then you'd be good (not sure if this has been done yet)
i made the green dialer skin into an ipk, to test if i could make an ipk that replaced files that were already there. in case anyone's interested: http://phwelo.mobi/ipks/Dialers/greendial.ipk
