Xperia ZR home button not working and home screen icons are too big after lollipop update

Hi everyone, 

I've just updated m phone to 5.0.2 and i'm facing home button issues. When i press the home button, it doesn't bring the phone to home screen. Please help. The home screen icons are appearing largely which is kinda annoying for small screen phone. I googled about this and it seems that there is a home screen icon settings for Xperia Z but that settings isn't showing up in ZR. Please help too !!

Thanks.

The new xperia home version is this one:

However,we do not know when or if it will be available. About icons,for now you can only use a different launcher.

Can you check if the same occurs in safe mode? I suspect a lack of RAM memory:

I have booted into safe mode and it appears the same. The home button still not working. The only time it works is when i clear all recent apps then i press the home button and it brought me to home screen. Other times, never worked.

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia Home -> Clear cache/data and restart your phone. NOTE THAT THIS WILL RESET YOUR HOMESCREEN TO DEFAULT.

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia Home -> Press on "Clear defaults" -> Press on Home button -> Choose Xperia Home and choose "Always".

 There written no defaults yet. And when i press on home button nothing pops out. I guess i need to repair the software by reinstall 5.0.2?
