Has anyone else been repeatedly prompted about which launcher you want to use, even after selecting "always"?
I've been getting this occasionally since upgrading to Pie on a non-rooted Pixel 1 running the latest Nova Launcher on the Play store.
I too have the same setup but have not ran into that issue. Have you tried clearing app info, uninstall and reboot phone and setup nova again?
I paid for nova prime.
I should have tried that first. Five days so far, and it hasn't happened again. :good:

Hi Guys,
The Fiio X7 is an android based DAP, it's recently received an update to Lollipop 5.1.1. The device can be rooted using Kingoroot / kingroot.
It has a default launcher called 'Launcher3' which I believe is the AOSP launcher and is also able to be set to what they call 'Pure Music Mode' where the launcher can be set to their Music application (apparently closes all background processes). This can be toggled in the quick settings pulled down from the top.
I am able to install a new launcher - Nova for instance, but cannot set it as default, when the option is selected within Nova, the default launcher immediately pops back up and Nova seems to be shut down (not in the recent apps list). This occurs with any other launcher.
Checking any Launcher within Apps the 'Launch by defaults' section states 'No defaults set' and the 'Clear Defaults' button is greyed out. Default launcher applications don't seem to work either.
So the launcher lives in /system/Launcher3/Launcher3.apk and I've managed to replace this with the Nova launcher apk after renaming it to Launcher3.apk via adb push. This causes the Launcher 3 to throw up errors as expected, but after rebooting the Nova launcher works fine as the default launcher. Even persists after shutting the device down / rebooting it etc.. at this point I thought I had solved the problem...
However leaving the device on for some time, something happens and the Nova launcher process seems to be killed. After this occurs, it goes into the 'Pure Music Mode' launcher, pressing the home button does nothing, and as this isn't an actual launcher means that no applications or anything can be launched. The only way to get things working properly again is to re-flash the firmware (it is a update.img) using Fiio's application leaving me stuck with the default horrid launcher....
It seems that somehow and for some reason Fiio have baked the launcher into the firmware making it impossible to change it's behaviour. I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on how to eradicate this.
Thanks
Paul

No problems with nova on the l29 usa one.. Open nova launcher then go back to home then Try opening ur recent apps and hitting the lock on nova launcher. Also make sure nova launcher is set to not close on phone lock.
No problems with nova. L29 western Europe model.
Must just be a Nova setting you need to check....
I have the AL00, and it works just fine. Did you install it from the play store? I have found some of the widgets from EMUI clashes with Nova, but if you stick to widgets from Google play, you should be fine.
Yes, do not use any of the widgets of EMUI. I have had no issues since doing that.
That's it. Stock weather widget was the problem.
Thanks everyone

I have the same problem. I give to nova all permission but The problem persists.
Also, if I use the emui the hot word ok Google does not work. someone help me
I have nova latest version running on AL00 without any issues even after restart nova continues as my default home also notification are working with no issues. I did give full permissions to all nova apps and full notification access.
The issue is Bluetooth bug. Toggle the Bluetooth connection with another device resets the default home. If you don't use bluetooth then you won't have that issue.

I've been using Bluetooth with my car, my fitbit and echo without any issues and still nova stays as default
if rooted, use titanium backup to freeze the "launcher" the stock one. hit the home button and set nova as the default.
Inscribed via LG v20 (iOS 11.1.0 Aplha)
Do you know if there is a fix for Bluetooth bug ?
I have the same model. You have to ensure nova has all the relevant permissions activated under settings. Storage, voice, etc etc. Nova works fine on my Mate 9. It initially kept crashing then I had a look at the settings and it's worked flawlessly since.
Hey All,
Running Android 7.1.1 on my Google Pixel with Nova Prime. I'm experiencing an issue where if I use the back button to escape an app, or if I swipe my messenger app away to close (signal 3.3, specifically), the Pixel launcher opens instead of Nova Prime. I'm always having to hit the home button to get back into Nova after closing apps. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes?
Thanks,

I use Nova on my PureNexus NOF26W Pixel, but I didn't notice any problem with home returning, when I hit the button. The only issue I have seen is when I open recent apps menu, if I tap on "erase all" then my Pixel automatically go back to Pixel Launcher's home.
But this issue never happens again after first rebooting (after Nova installation).
Don't forget to set correct gestures in Nova's settings, and set Nova as defaut launcher on "Application informations"
Hey thanks for the reply. All I had to do was restart my phone and that fixed the problem! I tried everything else but didn't think to restart, all good now though.
This is on an MHA-L09. I would prefer to use Nova or the Google launcher, anything but the Huawei stock launcher, but am having issues.
Nova Prime is crashing, or so it is reported by the Huawei Launcher that Ithen replaces it, with a warning that I should uninstall the Nova Launcher. I cannot see a pattern to when Nova crashes.
I have a seperate issue with the Google Launcher. This sometimes finds itself caught in a desktop refresh loop - the desktop will go black, the background image will be re-drawn, then the icons and widgets, then it will blank again. While this loop is happening, I can draw down the notification shade and the screen will stay on, roll up the shade and the refresh loop continues.
So,
a). has anyone else found the same and has solutions, or
b). are there any crash logs that I can look at to see why this might be happening, for either Nova or Google Launchers?
This has happened over a few versions. I have also done a factory reset and the prblem continues. After the reset I did do a re-install from a back-up, so I may have just reloaded what ever is causing the problem, hence my keeness to find logs to help see where the problem may be.
I used to have this problem also but tried Microsoft launcher and I'm hooked.
Ever since, I haven't gone back to huawei or nova
Mine is a L29, USA version, no issues with Nova Prime here.
This issue is definitely caused by using your backup. If I recall correctly the crashing was a nova bug after an android update and has since been fixed, but if you use a backup created before the fix it will cause the same issue again. Simply do a clean nova install and ditch your backup and it will work like a charm again.
Hey, since about a week ago when I did a factory reset, nova launcher keeps being in my recent apps from time to time. How can I get rid of that?
