I have a severe problem.
No default launcher and obviously no possibility to set an app as default.
No app I found is able to set a default launcher. Eg Launcher Switcher allows me to start an launcher but the Home-symbols are greyed out.
Hardware Home button does not work, longpress, double click does work, so it is no hardware fault.
Help, ALexander

I did a search and didn't find this topic for the Tab..... If you have encountered this, please let me know how you resolved it.
I am currently using ADW Launcher EX instead of the Samsung one. I have set it as the default under the settings > applications and also downloaded Home Switcher and it is showing ADWLauncher as the default, but frequently (very) when I click the home button I am prompted to chose between the two and set the default.
Has anyone encountered this, and if so what did you do to resolve it?
Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? I can hit the Nova app icon and it will set it the launcher. However, as soon as I hit the home button it reverts back to default. Additionally when in Nova Settings, I tap the header that says tap to set Nova as default launcher, for a half second it acts like it is bringing up another screen momentarily but then stays on the main settings screen. It does the same thing when I scroll down to the Select Default Home where currently Huawei Home is set. I have tried other launchers additional to Nova including: Google Now, TSF, and Smart Launcher. I am currently running the latest update of Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1, on a GEM-703L, running Android 6.0.
Thanks for any help.
Try this:
1. go to settings > apps>advanced>default app settings
That fixed it! Thank you so much!
Hi.
I have a strange problem. I have FRD-L19 for about 1 week now. I noticed twice that the settings app does not open when I try to start it from the homescreen (I'm using nova launcher)
When I touch the app icon screen gets white for a split second and than back to homescreen. I can touch the icon as often as I want, the settings app won't open. When I try to open settings app via novas app drawer the app opens. After that it is also possible to start via homescreen. I haven't tried with emui launcher yet.
Has anyone noticed a similar behavior?
Try a hard reboot. Hold power button till device reboots. I notice weird issues sometimes and the power menu reboot option does not do a hard reboot. Seems more like a soft reboot.
I know previous versions of Nova used to messe up with Emui4.
Have you tried using it without Nova to see the settings app behaviour?
Definitely an issue with the launcher, I've never had an issue with Action Launcher 3 if you don't want to use the stock launcher?
It can't be that it's not possible to turn off the automatic adding of application shortcuts to the home screen, can it?
It's driving me nuts...

Not possible atm, usualy its in done in the launchers settings menu but its not present yet. Neither is it possible in the Google app. You may try another launcher like Nova or some similar launcher.
I want to change the behavior of the long-press on the home button so it doesn't try to launch assistant. I'd like it to do nothing.
I tried disabling assistant, but this just displays an obnoxious banner telling me to turn on assistant.
I did find this app that allows you to remap the button to all sorts of things, but would prefer something that doesn't need all those permissions.
This is with 3-button navigation enabled as I'm using Nova Launcher on Android 10. Phone is not rooted.
[edit] and of course, I found the answer immediately after posting the question:
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Default apps > Assist app - change it to "None"

Only thing is if you use the "Squeeze" for Google Assistant it disables that too. Which is good or bad depending on how you feel about GA. I just got mine today so I'm still playing with things. Might delete later,IDK.
