this has never happening to me ... hmm strange witch version of nova ?
Downloaded from Market... So the latest version.
I had the same problem with nova launcher when I was on ics. Maybe you should try apex launcher. I never tried it but you could try that and see if it suits your needs.

^ +1 for Apex!
Nova lags like hell on our phone! Especially after adding a couple of widgets!

Hi,
Just upgraded my phone a week ago or so and am having some issues getting ADW Launcher to stay as the default replacement home launcher after rebooting.
Every time I reboot the phone it will ask which app to use for the Home button. I choose ADW and Always. It keeps that setting until the next reboot.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Bob

Are you running any special mods or tweaks that might be wiping the Defaults settings?
Just curious have you tried Apex or Nova launcher? IMHO, they seem to be lighter and faster than ADW, but that's my preference!!

I'm running stock JB; read some articles about rooting, but haven't rooted yet. Had my Charge rooted with no problems.
I will try another launcher, but I think I also had GO Launcher installed and it did the same thing. Doesn't seem to be launcher related. It almost seems that Sammy wants their launcher to be the default, so it asks every time the phone reboots.
I bought ADW while it was on sale a while back. It worked better on my tablet than Apex and Nova. I am really only running it on my phone because I bought it and to be on the same launcher as my tablet.
Thanks,
Bob
UPDATE: just installed Apex and rebooted; no prompt for launcher app. Must be something with ADW. I'll have to shoot them an email.
Thanks for the help!

Adw is garbage. Nova launcher is where it's at.

The free nova installs lookout security, not cool in my opinion, but they must get some kickback. I use the paid apex, it works pretty good.

Settings/apps/..... goto your launchers that are installed, click remove defaults on the ones you can. Then back out to home screen, hit your home button, click always use, then click your launcher.

Its working fine with this settings... Have been using from last 3 days and no issues as of now.... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
A simple solution, install latest nova launcher and in nova settings>advanced enable aggressive desktop and restart nova.
Same problem
I am using Xperia Launcher. It also has the same problem. But far better than others. Only the widgets blacks out
Its an MIUI bug
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? I would really like to run the Google Now Launcher but it is too glitchy.
Thanks!

None, I guess.. Its a problem with RAM management of MIUI that causes third party launchers to redraw so often.. You can either use Nova launcher with above mentioned setting to keep it in memory or try updating MIUI to latest version... I had the same issue with GNL in MIUI, I rooted and am using wilson's CM12.1 ROM now
Is anyone else having issues using any custom launcher from the Google play store? For example, when Nova is installed and set as the launcher, when going home from an app the animation leads to a strange overlay with both the Nova and stock launcher on the display. I've attached a photo to illustrate the issue. It's worth mentioning that I'm on the latest stock China rom, nothing done to the phone at all.
I had the same issue. It was resolved after I did a reboot.

Same here. Reboot fixes
Delete data/cache of miui launcher from app menù is better
You guys should try the pocophone launcher on play store. It works great
Pocophone launcher is nice... but it lacks the Google feed integration. Otherwise I would use it.

Action launcher is good and has the Google feed, smooth and good customisation
Never had this issue on any Rom and I'm using nova launcher since I got the device.

I have never had that issue. However, using a custom launcher and trying to change the lock screen background doesn't seem to work on custom launchers unless you are using a theme. If you change the lock screen background though on the default launcher and then switch launchers, it does stick.
I love the pixel Launcher but i want to try something different ,always use Nova but ITS unestable .
Any recomendation?
I use evie Launcher,only 2 bugs already spotted.

Unstable? Hardly. Been using Nova Prime since day 1 (late Aug) on this device with both A10 and A11. As have many others. Look closer to home for a fix to the (your device config) stability issue.
Nova here too, no issues other than maybe one in 10 days the Google Feed background changes to white. Restarting Nova fixes it for another week or two.

Nova here, too. I have never experienced instability.
Nova is king. I've had Nova on all of my phones going back to the Note 2 quite some time ago. I'm actually holding off on installing it this time around on my P4a and trying to get used to stock.
I used Nova for years but going back to the Pixel I been trying the native launcher.
I like it, but I can not resize or skin icons and for this reason may go back to Nova Launcher.
Lawnchair 2 is my recommendation. Very similar to Pixel Launcher, but customisable and free.
Although no update for nearly a year could be an issue for some.
Square Home if you like the look of windows mobile.
I have been using Microsoft Launcher. Love that the apps are grouped alphabetic by letter. If Nova could do that I'll switch to Nova though.
nobody for lawnchair ?

Not well suited to Android 10+ navigation metaphor; increasing number of unresolved issues; not updated since late 2019. Launcher (like underlying device/os/rom) should not be a focal point.
I use the beta version of lawnchair2. No issues.
In the past was NOVA Prime. Not sure why I switched, but these are my top 2 go to's.
hello,
i use nova launcher and have an issue:
when i do the upswipe to leave an app and want to open another one after that then sometimes i have a stutter, as if the launcher did a little restart.
do you have this too?
kind regards

Haven't see that (yet). Might be app and/or device config specific.
I got Smart Launcher 5.5 on my Pixel 4a
No Problems so far.
Can someone do this setup and give steps here please...
Receivced my Pro 6 yesterday and very happy so far.
I normally use Nova as my launcher but on the CN ROM its not certified by Xiaomi so will not "stick" as the default.
Switched to Microsoft Launcher wich is behaving fine - screen shot of my homepage attached.
Any other Launchers that people are aware of that are Certified on CN ROM ?
I use the Nova launcher on it as well, and it works fine.
I remember, that I'Ve had the same issue as you with the setting not being persisted.
If you set your default launcher via the nova launcher settings page, it persists without a problem.
Maybe you want to change the title of the thread? We are talking about launchers, not browsers.

Interesting.. I did manage to set Nova as the launcher via it's own setting but after a reboot it reverted to stock and wouldnt let me set as default.
Will try again.
And yes, spotted my mistake re Launcher in title. I did fix it.
I'm not a 100% sure since it's been weeks, but I think I also disabled the default launcher with "universal android debloater".
OK....
some progress with Nova.
The popup about certification seems to appear when you play with the Homepage search bar in Nova.
I had it working fine but as soon as I added a search bar it started to prompt

On my Samsung Tab S8+ I removed the search bar and did a backup.
It restored fine to the Tab 6 and this time all works fine

Hi
I have the Pad 6 not Pro and when I use Nova I cannot use gestures, only buttons are available. Is there any way to get gestures while using Nova.
