Default [Q] Home launcher

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.

Probably with titanium backup when you are rooted. Didn't try though so I don't know if there are any consequences

I got rid of mine everytime I flashed again. Nothing has happen to my arc...but yes rule of thumb is to freeze first.
