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!

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?
Hey guys...
so i've downloaded adwlauncher (paid version) and during the first 2hours or so; i had the pop up "Complete with this action" with the choices of adwlauncher homescreen or my original stock one where i had the option to set one of them as a default. After these 2 hours, it stopped appearing? I tried restarting my phone, clear default (although there weren't none set; so the clear default icon was just flat), clear data...none of them proved to work. Pressing my home screen button just takes me to stock home screen even if i've clicked on the adw icon.
I'm using an xperia arc on the latest software update...(x-loud, horizontal homescreen etc.) Any ideas on how to fix this? All contributions greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've solved it. I realised that i had already set the default to Sony Ericsson Home Screen as opposed to ADWLauncher; so i had to find the Sony Home Screen application in "all applications" list and the press clear default on that. No need for home switcher; although thanks for the suggestion xmsnx
Get the Home Switcher app from the Market, maybe that helps
thanks! i'll give it a try.
edit: nope didn't work? I pressed set adwlauncher as default but after i exit...its the same story. When i go back on homeswitcher...it says stock screen is default?
On 2.3 there was no problem switching launchers, installed beta 3.0 and kept all my settings.
so i kept the different launcher.
After i tried to switch launchers, i always end up at the EMUI homescreen by pressing home button, or when i want to set a standard launcher, lets say Nova Launcher, i will be brought back to the EMUI homescreen.
Nothing works so far, and i hate the looks of EMUI
Any Ideas?

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?
Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James

Yes , it's because since Android 10, the nav bar and recent UI are managed by your default launcher. That's really infuriating I know. But if you root your device with magisk, there is a module called QuickSwitch that allows you to set a third-party launcher as the nav bar UI provider.
Hope that helps
