How do I get Recent Post Titles on my home screen

Let me know which method did you use, so that I can advise you the right method. And if you want, you can use this code to show latest post:

<?php
	if (is_front_page()) {
?>
	<h1 class="entry-title">Recent posts</h1>
	<div class="entry-content">
		<ul style="list-style-type:none">
<?php
	global $post;
	$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5');
	foreach($myposts as $post) :
		setup_postdata($post);
?>
	<li style="font-size:110%">&raquo;&nbsp;<?php the_time('d/m/Y'); ?>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach;
}
?>
</ul></div>
