I have disabled Facebook home and uninstalled it. I have the Android default home and ADW Launcher. Every boot it asks me which launcher to go to. Each time I select ADW Launcher and then press Always. But every boot the defaults seem to be reset. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the First or with Jellybean.

Do you have S-Off? The only reason I can think of that would cause it to do so is if you don't have S-Off. When you uninstall Facebook Home, it will reinstall itself as the default home upon rebooting the device because of S-On. So if you don't have nor want S-Off, I'd recommend simply turning off Facebook Home in the Home Settings rather than uninstalling it.

So its starting to annoy me. Does anyone else have an issue with whatever launcher they use it kind if restarts when hitting the home bbutton from an app? I've noticed it with GB launcher adw, xperia launcher. Its annoying because I hit the home button it freezes for a second and I have to wait for my app drawer to load. Does anyone else have this issue? I've come across it in all roms froyo and gingerbread alike.

Not an issue for me with LP+
Yup... happens to me on any launcher but not after every app-it seems random. I am assuming that Android is killing it to manage memory and then I restarts when home is pressed or I back out of an application to the home screen. Btw, I am running GR-11.

Thats what I'm thinking. Yeah its not after every app close. Is there anyway we can change it so the os doesn't kill it off?
I have the "prevent force-closes" options checked in launcherpro and it usually doesnt close off the homescreen. In the off chance it does close, the launcher needs to rebuild the app drawer etc etc.
Did some more research.
It fixed it for me completely just go into the terminal app (if you don't have one get it from the market), Continnum 5.4.1 came with it.
use this command.
su {hit enter}
echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop {hit enter}
reboot {hit enter}
I found what you taught is quite useful. I am not sure whether the script affect all the launcher or default one with OS?
Few days back I opted to change the look & feel of my Galaxy Note so decided to install Go Launcher Ex.It was initially on but started lagging on home screens.Yesterday I uninstalled it and went for the default one.Today I thought of giving other launchers a try so went for ADW & LauncherPro but none seem to work or start even though they show as installed app.
what do you mean they arent working?
have you unset the default in applications?
I mean just nothing happens after installing the launchers...neither any shortcut or any change to the gui...
You need to run the launcher then press the home button and select the specified launcher as default.
Go to manage apps & clear defaults of your last used launcher

i upgraded to Pie 9 (One UI) official update. But after restarting the home screen won't come. It continuosly says "Samsung Experience Home keeps stopping" and gives option ..App Info ...Close App and Send Feedback.
I basically can;t use my phone. I can't get into Phone or any App. Phone bricked!
Do you get a chance to go to settings and maybe uninstall updates for SEH app or swap to Easy mode. Does it work if you boot in Safemode? As last restort, you might have to factory reset (make a backup using smartswitch if pos.)
No even settings malfunctions. I cannot go to the app screen, where i see the apps. How to boot in safemode?
Safe mode doesnt allow me to uninstall anything under Samsung Experience Home
Can you change to Easy mode so that it circumvents SEH ? Then once out of safe mode try to uninstall updates for SEH or download another launcher and set it as default. You are not using any themes by any chance?
Luckily i had Nova Launcher. When i exited Safe MOde and rebooted it asked me whether it should use Nova or SEH. I chose Nova "Always" and phone is back on
Here's the solution according to Samsung. See screenshot.
Also if you use one hand operations+ , disabling its animations FC the launcher for me.
I have been using the Nova Launcher, Prime, for years. I have set this as my default launcher. However, every time I reboot the phone, it reverts back to the Pixel Launcher. I re-set Nova as default. Sometimes it goes right back to Pixel until I go back into setting to set Nova as default, once again. This time it holds.
Is there another way to force Nova as the default launcher, even after a reboot??

Try phone settings, apps, default, set Nova as home launcher. Sticks for me even after a reboot. Don't do it from the Nova settings

Weird. Just restarted the phone to test and it sticks.
Sorry not sure what else it could be
I've had this happen as well I think it's if you try to use the launcher before it completely boots up. What I mean is I turn my phone on and as soon as it shows my home screen I try to go to the app tray. It then reverts to pixel launcher. I guess Nova needs to push out an update which I am sure will be coming.

Also to be sure and check that you allow Nova to modify system settings. :good:

I have never known about that permission before. I turn it on and rebooted. Nova is the current launch! Thanks!!
I don't know what happened, I was going to pair my smart watch (non-samsung) to my S21 Ultra but it wouldn't, so I rebooted the phone, and it rebooted with the One UI launcher instead of Nova Launcher, so I switched back to Nova, checked the default setting in Nova settings and it was still set to Nova as the default, when trying to leave the Nova settings, it again returned to One UI home, so I checked in settings for default apps, and Nova is still set to the default. So I tried force stopping One UI home, and return home, and again, it opens One UI home, it will not open Nova anymore.
I tried rebooting again, and oddly enough, Nova was the default launcher again. Figured it was just a glitch so I went on with my day and it just happened again but I haven't touched anything, it was on my desk all day untouched and when I picked it up, One UI launcher again.
Now, no matter how many times I reboot, it will always pick the One UI launcher, but the weird thing is when I'm in Nova, I can't swipe to go home because it's already on the default launcher, but when in an app, I swipe to go home and it goes to One UI home, and swiping to go home does nothing within that launcher as well.
So some how, not sure what happened, but the phone is using both launchers at the default now and there's no way to stop One UI from opening.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, or if there's a fix for it, but would removing One UI with ADB (if possible) cause issues? Like if I force remove this with ADB will the phone even boot to a different default launcher if One UI home isn't there anymore?
I would do more testing but this is my daily driver so I don't wanna mess with it too much, but this is really annoying that it keeps defaulting to One UI home.
I was having the same issue at first. What I did to fix it was set OneUI as default, exit the menu. Go back into that menu and then change back to Nova Launcher. Reboot. It took a couple of tries repeating the same process, but it eventually sticks. I haven't had any issues since.
Also, side note. The Samsung widgets that aren't transparent, first set them up in OneUI with the settings you want them at. Then when you go back Nova Launcher, remove the the original and readd them. There is only 1 widget that I can't get to go transparent, Reminders.
