Rickim, In the screen where you click to use one of the options, and you clicked the check box accidently to always use the original home app, a message should have been present telling you what to do. It would have been something like;
Go to Menu>>settings>>applications>>manage applications>>Home and press the 'clear defaults' button.
This will bring back the option for you.
solved thanks
Mr Qman101 thanks for your help,.. its solved...

Isn't there a button in Home Switcher that says "Make default" or something along those lines? Pretty sure there was when I was using it.

There is. Don't work on froyo at least. not sure about eclair.
yea set default worked fine in eclair....in froyo, the set default changes back to touchwiz after the press of home button....so had to clear the default and make the changes once again....
EDIT: This has been resolved, at the expense of my own ignorance and embarrassment! Thanks for the help, folks.
For whatever reason, all of a sudden, I can't seem to long press on any icons or on the wall itself on my ADW Launcher home screens. So I can't move or delete icons or widgets nor add any new widgets and etc. from that "add" menu. However, I can long press in the app drawer and in folders, and basically anywhere in the phone except for the home screen.
I've tried clearing cache, reverting back to stock launcher (where I can long press fine anywhere), resetting ADW, and rebooting my phone, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. Holding down on an icon will just result in the orange highlight staying on indefinitely.
Clearly it's an issue with ADW, but has anyone experienced this?
did you unlock adw in the menu? you may have locked the desktop.

Download "Home Switcher" from the Market (free). Open it, then hit "Clear Default" on the bottom. It'll bring you to your current launcher's system setting menu, then just hit "Clear defaults" near the bottom. Next time you hit your Home key, it'll ask what launcher you want; pick and choose and choose to make it default or not.
Hope that helps.

Or Menu -> [ADW Options -> Phone Settings (if using ADW) ] Applications -> Manage Applications -> Go to your launcher -> clear defaults
^^ If you know what launcher, you should anyways.

menu -> unlock desktop.....
nevermind. problem solved.
to unlock/lock the desktop...simply click the settings button when on the home screen (the 2nd from the left on mytouch 4g) and then click "more" and then lock/unlock desktop.
Now every time after i long-pressed the Home key to enter task manager,
when i press the home key again,
the system just ask me to select default launcher again.
I have try to use all launcher switcher and deleted all launcher (launcher pro etc)
and now i just have the TW launcher.
Please help.
Hmm, you did tick the box with default launcher right?
(And you tried home switcher for froyo)
And having one launcher you ticked the box and still get the "choose"?
Sorry if I misunderstood you.
Well try to go to applications look for the tw launcher and clear cache/data. But this will reset your settings of the launcher too. But have 2 launchers installed just in case something goes more wrong and you would have to do a factory reset .

Yes , you are right.
i have try factory reset, but as i used titanium backup to backup all other apps other than those launcher.
but seems after i install launcherpro, no matter i uninstall it or not, the problem is come again
find the launchers you dont use in settings > manage applications > 'unwanted launcher'
then un-install it or try clearing data / defaults. that should do the trick.
if you only have one launcher on your phone and you set that as default, it cant ask you which one to choose from.
Download an application name Home switcher and set one as default so everytime u long press home button you it will not ask again and u can reset any default launcher u like ..

Possible a really stupid question... But I have already searched all over Cyanogenmod 10.1 settings
and I can't find where to select what I want the home button to do.
Not really an Issue, But I want to use holo launcher and tap the home button so that holo launcher
redirects me to my home screen when I want... That's where the problem comes in, When I tap the
home button it returns me to Cyanogenmod 10.1 default launcher and I have to launch Holo launcher
again...
So... Where do I set the home button setting in Cyanogenmod 10.1 default launcher?
when you've installed the 2nd launcher, at the first click of the home button the phone probbably asked you whether to launch default launcher or the new one, and you clicked the old one and selected always... so now the default launcher launches everytime you press the home button...
to undo this, go to settings > apps > find the default launcher app (trebuchet?) > scroll down to "launch by default" > click on "clear defaults"...
now when you click your home button - it should ask you whether to launch default launcher or the new one (holo), select holo and tick "always"...
Thanks! That solved my problem, Now I can set holo as the default launcher
whith no problems!
