Choose the post types that you would like to choose from in addition to Pages. The 
“Front Page:” dropdown will then display each different post type in their own groups.
This will not result in a redirect on the front page as has been seen in other attempts 
to provide this functionality. In addition, the canonical url will be properly reflected 
as the home url.

CPT on Front Page

very good plugin !

This plugin allows post types other than "page" to be displayed as the static front page.

Adam Harley (Kawauso)

Adds a setting under Settings -> Reading to allow the front page post count to be controlled independently of the main post count and adjusts paging to accomodate for this.
Uses the <code>pre_get_posts</code> hook and checks for the <code>$wp_the_query</code> query being passed, so won’t work with <code>query_posts()</code>.

Set Front Page Post Count

Allows the front page to have a different number of posts than other pages.
