I can not set a new launcher as default. It only goes right back to the factory launcher after I hit the back button. In settings, apps, the xperia home launcher isn't even set to default for me to clear it....... Whats going on?

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?
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
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?

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!
When I go to app manager it auto hours back to colors despite Nova been default.
Any way to app this bug?
