I hate to be the bearer of bad news but only Apple can restore full functionality back to your phone. You can buy a new home button online and it will allow you to use it to go to the home screen, and double tap to open up all your apps. However if you want the full home button back you have to go to Apple so they can install an official home button and they have to program it. So this means just putting in an official home button from another phone wont work either. This is just one of those things that only apple can do.l as far as I knke.
Sean’s right; word of advice: be really delicate if you want to repair it next time; it’s not the same as 4s-5; and if you can’t do it, know your limits, because before you could’ve spent a little for repair at anyone’s, now you’re forced to go to Apple or buy a new device. Easily preventable, good luck next time!
