It seems that I have lost my "home" button functionality in stock 2.1. I installed ADWLauncher and it was working ok,then I installed Multitasking Lite and something changed. I think it has something to do with setting the default app for home button. How can I change or restore to the default?
Sent from my rooted 2.1 + 2.2 AOSP! Go go devs!!
do this:
Settings > Applications > Manage Apllications > ADWLauncher then press clear defaults
Yes, I've done that. Also in Multitasking Lite, after reset it asked me for the default Home and I set it to ADW, but still no home button working.
As I have also noticed, I don't have lock screen! If I press the power button the screen goes off, but then when any button is pressed the screen powers on again in the home without the unlock.
I finally got it solved. I applied the 2.2 AOSP solution described here.
I don't know why there weren't any of that values in my stock 2.1, maybe one of those apps or TB messed it up.

The home button of my Galaxy I5800 doesn't works good anymore.
if I press the home button --> the phone is refressing my screen.
Normally you go to your home screen, or select your launcher.
if I hold the home button --> do nothing.
Normally you see a screen with 6 last used apps.
are there options by install to give options on your home button??
it depends upon ur launcher
if ur using 2.2 then goto running apps and search for ur current launcher(stock is touchwiz) and select clear cache and data after force stopping
I've just installed an alternate home launcher on my arc but everytime i press the home button it simply goes back to the stock launcher. Previously i used to get an option after pressing the home button to choose which launcher i want to use but now i've lost that option. Is there a way for me to get that option back? Thanks in advance.
thanks for the reply. actually i found out how to get that menu back again...u simply go into the Home Launcher application via Manage Applications in Settings and press Clear Defaults. Then the next time u press the home button that menu will come back up again...hope this helps someone else.
I can't really comment on this since have not go the arc yet but you can install Home Switcher here and see if the option comes back or you can clear out the default launcher.

Go to settings - applications - manage applications - all applications - all - Sony home - clear defaults
this will help good luck
is there any way to uninstall Sony Home Launcher... since I've downloaded ADW Launcher as it is what I prefer..
Probably with titanium backup when you are rooted. Didn't try though so I don't know if there are any consequences

Freeze it in Titanium first to see what happens..
I got rid of mine everytime I flashed again. Nothing has happen to my arc...but yes rule of thumb is to freeze first.
This happens quite infrequently, but when it does it's a real pain. Once in a while I cannot access the main menu when hitting the menu button. The really odd part is that this only happens when I'm on the homescreen. If I can't access the menu, but go into an app, I can access the settings menu or whatever pops up for that particular app when hitting the menu button. Sometimes if I directly open the settings menu through the app drawer I can kickstart the menu button by then using the volume up/down buttons, but not always. In that case my only recourse is to reboot the phone.
I'm on a rooted Canadian Rogers Galaxy S4 running BeanStalk-4.3.1015-20131028-jfltecan ROM and ktoonsez 3.4.68 4.3-AOSP-TMO-11.04.2013 kernel. Although I've had this issue pop up with other ROMs and kernels.
Funnily enough when I went to check the ROM and kernel info, the menu button wasn't working...

OK, so I have finally managed to narrow it down. The culprit is DashClock. If I use the default lockscreen the phone is fine. Enable DashClock and as soon as I unlock the menu button is dead when on the homescreen. Not really sure where to go from here with this. It doesn't seem like I'm running anything weird here so why this is such an isolated case is rather baffling.
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
I have a Black Shark 2 Pro and decided to replace the home launcher with Nova Prime but after I press the home button a few time with would sometimes asked me again to re-enable the accessibility of Nova.
Check Nova's permissions and Battery Optimization (should be off/not optimized).
It has been a known bug since day one and hasn't been fixed ever since. You can change the locking method of your Nova by making it as admin device. Take note that this will disable fingerprint security.
I hope we get a patch for this, my friend has CN Rom and it seems to be working fine.
Okay so, Im not sure yet but I hope I fixed it, can anyone confirm this
Go to apps, then to default apps, select assist and voice input press the google icon and select "none"
by removing the Home Button Long Press functionality for the assist app I think that removed the complications of the Home Button
For me accessibility resets whenever I press the home button successively in a row, but since I removed the assist app until now Ive been pressing the home button and..... it never asked for accessibility. I pressed it like 50 times now, fast press, slow press, nothing.
I guess I fixed it? Can anyone try and confirm?
