How to assign android home button to a custom launcher app(nova launcher )?
If you edit /opt/alien/system/build.prop file, you can get all of the soft buttons.
ro.alien.navbar-disable-home=true
ro.alien.navbar-disable-recent=true
You have to change those to "false".
And i simply want Home button to work properly with Nova launcher.

What you're looking for goes completely around Sailfish's workflow.
What you should do if you wanted to "launch a launcher" is to click on it, on Sailfish's apps list, and later in it's cover, on the home screen. This is the proper way to do it in Sailfish, you can still use the launcher, to launch android stuff, but multitasking is done through Sailfish's swipes to home screen!

My goal is when i interact with more than one android app to use dalvik UI paradigm. By doing thas all android apps are in one "cage" and i interact with them as on droid phone.The best part is that i can kill them all by a single "swipe down", instead one by one. ;)
Yes i know that Sailfish UI paradigm is different, but the beauty of Linux is that it's endlessly customizable (the only limit is your knowledge). That's why i'm asking for help the community. ;)

What do you mean?
When you're running Android apps on Sailfish, there's only the back button, no home button... ?
