I press the home button or close all apps i always get this!
Any ideas?
See screenshot
Hit 'always' as shown in your screenshot. It'll always use 'Xperia Home' afterwards without showing you the prompt. You could also choose the home app next time from settings -> home

I press "always" everyrime, but still get this prompt!?
How about this -> settings - apps - all - simple home - clear all three -> data/cache/defaults?
Cheers ?

Can someone pls tell me how a can change the behaviour of the green (call) button?
I installed aContacts and there is the possibility to link it to the green button, but I decided then to stay with the default dialer (set as default)...now I would like to change that...but how?
Thanks
Go to your menu and go into manage applications and clear your defaults. Next time you use that app and ask what to be used for defaults you can choose it then.

Thanks for the quick answer, but I cant find "clear defaults"...I go "app drawer" > "Settings" > "Application"...and then?? when I click on dialer I see the usual info plus un-install...*sorryforbeingnoob*
The 3rd button should be "Clear defaults", with first one being "Clear data", then "Clear cache". I don't even have the option to uninstall Dialer, so you might be in the wrong section.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Worse case, just uninstall aContact and install it again. You should get asked again which one you want to default.
@ cigar3tte
ah thanks I see the clear default button...but it is disabled...I checked "dialer", "dialer storage" and "acontacts"...hmm I will give uninstalling and reinstall a try...nope doesnt work either, I dont get a second dialog that asks me what app to choose...f***
Try installing StarContacts. Not saying to use it, but this app also affects the green call button, which should bring the menu back. You can just uninstall once you've set your default again.
If this doesn't bring up the menu, something else has definitely gone wrong.

Thank You...the starcontact trick did it...dont know why but i got the dialog again after hitting the green button and now i am with acontacts as the default app for dialing...thx
I want the HTC screen back not this ugly screen. I also only have 3 slide screens now too.
Uhm... we are going to need a lot more information from you to be able to help.
What did you do before you got the stock android home screen?
Tell us the steps you did to create your issue. We are not psychic.
some screen popped up asking me about HOME and HTC Sence. I clicked Home because I thought it would take me to my home screen and I clicked it to do it by default, because this screen kept showing up for the last 2 days. I know it has something to do with the toddler lock I installed, because it was that program asking me. It happened because my daugter turned the phone off some how while it was still playing.
1. Press MENU button.
2. Press Settings.
3. Press Applications.
4. Press Manage Applications.
5. Wait for the OS to compute application usage.
6. Scroll down the list until you see HTC Sense and select it to go to the Application Info page.
7. Press the Clear Defaults button.
8. Press the HOME button. You should be prompted to select which app to compete the action with. Select HTC Sense and chose to make this the default action.
Hope this helps.

that didn't work but your instructions helped because the next step was to go select HOME instead and clear the defaults there. Maybe that's what you meant.
haha sorry... I'm clearly not awake yet. At any rate, glad you got it sorted!
Happy new year!
One appears to be android without senseUI.. which boots up automatically.
The other is Sense.
below these two options is a don't ask me again.
Now If I choose one of these to be the default, is there any alternative method between navigating between the 2? perhaps with a shortcut icon on the home screens?
PErfect! [This message is now long enough to post]
If you dont have homeswitcher.. or you dont plain on every switching agian.. The manual way to switch is....
Go to setting>applications>manage applications
Find the launcher that is set as your default. Htc Sense, Launcher, helix...
Then click on it and scroll down and hit "clear default"
Press the home key again, and it will ask what home screen to use.
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.

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.

I've run into this on a few apps. no settings menu icon in the app, no settings menu to the left of to the home key...
if you press and hold the multi tasking button the settings menu will come up.

open the app you are trying to access the settings menu of.
press and hold the button to the left of the home button.
the settings menu of that app will then open.
pressing and holding what used to be the settings button still functions as the old settings button.
