There is no way to undo a reset of your home screen. If you don't want to do a restore from your most recent backup, then you'll have to set up your home screen again.

Yes, however, you can transfer your photos & viseos to your Mac or PC. Do that first, then the restore with your most recent backup, and lastly sync the photos and videos to your phone. Oh, and do yourself a favor, back your photos up to an external drive while you're at it.
