Aren't answers like this just the absolute worst. They don't answer you question, and preach to you. Here's a working solution that I use:
Get a good launcher (I use Nova prime)
Add a link to Nova prime in your side bar (which is accessible during AA connection.
When you click Nova prime it takes you to your home screen and you can do anything from there.
