Two alternate solutions:
The simplest would be to rely on Dojo Mobile's "bookmarkable" feature. For details, see https://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojox/mobile/bookmarkable.html. Live example: http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.9.0/dojo-release-1.9.0/dojox/mobile/tests/test_bk_force-list.html. After transitioning from the home page, pressing browser's back button on desktop browsers, or the back button of Android devices, triggers a transition back to the initial view.
The saner solution for a relatively complex app requiring navigation history management would be to build your app using dojox/app. See the documentation at http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dojox/app.html and the tutorials at https://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.9/dojox_app/.
