How to change home screen - XPERIA X10 General

Sorry for this stupid question,
but how do i change the home screen? I managed to choose the crappy standard screen as standard when i want to use Crazy Home, and now i don't know how to change it back.
Please help?

settings/ applications/ manage applications/ select "home" app, then clear defaults.. next time you press the home key you will get the chance to choose which one you want to use.

you have to go into app management go to home and clear defaults then hit home and it should give you the option of home or htc sence choose htc sence
Go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, Look for an app called "Home", selected and scroll down, you should see a button that says clear defaults, press it. Then just press your home key and it will pop open a box for you to select home or htc sense, select the check box and then select HTC sense.

Perfect thanks. The clear defaults was greyed out. But I pushed the clear data button and then hit the home button and it asked me to use Sense.
Thanks a bunch.

There's an app in the Market that's called Home Switcher. Install that and you'll be able to pick your home launcher of choice.
settings/ applications/ manage applications/ [select the home replacement app] and then select "clear defaults"...
next time you press home you'll get the options presented to you again..
Or another quick way is to go to timescape then go to settings then check set as home button. Then uncheck it
Then press the home button and you will see the Home Options Window.
Thanks Guys

Change Default Home Screen

How do you change the default home screen? Like when I press the home button it will use that instead? Cause im trying out the ADW Launcher but its not in the applications lists so I cant open it.
When using a program try holding the home button, this should pop up with a menu that says "complete action with" and show Home or ADW. Or something like that, I know Ive seen that menu before.
Yea, it used to show the menu. But then I set the Home as default action so if I press home it will bring me to the home i dont want and if I hold it, it shows a box with recently opened apps

Holding the home button is the action for bringing the recent app list. *FAIL*

Go into application settings and clear the defaults for Home.
Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications
Scroll down do the Home application (cant remember if its called home or what, deleted my Launcher.apk ages ago after getting root). Once you have cleared the defaults. A press on the home button will show you options to select your home screen, this will include ADW, Home and TimeScape, select ADW and check "Set as default".

Do you mean the icon on the center that opens up the app drawer? I suppose you're using a custom launcher?
Long-press any part of the empty screen, click Shortcut, and find an item that says launcher (or something equivalent), like how you would add a shortcut of an app on homescreen.
Then click that icon, and drag it to where menu key originally was.
hehehe thats not called the menu key its called app drawer (or app button even, the menu key is the four line button beside your back button). I'm going to assume you are on cm7 with adw because as far as i know that is the most used.... and i may have done it once or twice before. Press and hold on an empty space on your home screen. click Launcher actions. choose open close app drawer. enjoy don't feel too stupid it happens to the best of us.
Yes I did mean the app drawer...sorry. I got it back now...thanks for all the help!!!

[Q] Home button doesn't run launcher any more :/

Hi all,
My phone rebooted and I lost all custom settings (like text size, custom ringtone etc.), while retaining other apps data. This was simple to repair
Problem is, since then my "Home" button doesn't execute launcher anymore. If I long-press, it shows tasks list, so the button is working, but short press does.. nothing.
I installed Home2 Shortcut - doesn't work either.
Cleared TouchWiz settings - no change
Cleared "Application preferences" - no change
Installed Nova Launcher - works fine, but won't return to home screen on "Home" press.
I guess some simple setting got corrupted, but I've no idea where to look for that. I'd rather not reflash the phone just because of this one button, but it's quite nice to be able to go to Home screen
Any advice?
Try this:
1. Long-press home button and select the "cheese"
2. Go to the last tab called "Clear default Settings"
3. You will have there something called: TouchWiz Home. Clear it.
4. Go back to the start screen and long-press home button again.

Thanks for suggestion, but I already tried that. Home button still doesn't react to short press.
Actually, it does react to short press - when I want to wake up the phone. But it doesn't run launcher.
I have exactly the same problem. Button physically works fine will click to show lock screen when off , double press for s voice ( when on ) and hold for task manager. it just wont single press to actually go home..grrrrrrrr

ok solution for me was a full master reset via recovery. All good now.

Yeah, I figure a reset/reflash will do, but it's another couple hours (which I don't have ) to restore everything after that
I got the same problem
I was planning to upgrade firmware anyway though
