I9505G Launcher Wont Keep Default Setting - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant figure out what's going on here. I know how to set the default launcher, but every time I reboot it asks me again. It doesn't seem to matter which launcher as I've tried both Apex and Nova and have the same results every reboot. The always keeps it as long as the phone stays on - but the default setting is loss after power off or reboot. Anyone?!

[Q] Flashing Kindle fire launcher

Hi guys, something's wrong with my kindle fire...
I was browsing the android market and the screen was suddenly frozen.
Then I long press the power button to turn it off and restart again.
But when it's turned on, the kindle fire launcher keeps flashing (Go launcher works fine).
So I restart my kindle again to see if this problem will go away, but it keeps flashing...
Also, every time I turn my kindle on, it says sign-in is required before accessing the Internet. But after I signed in, this notification just pop up again...
Anyone can help me please?
Thanks!!!
(it's a bit long, sorry about that!)
are the restrictions in settings active ? maybe turn on and off again
but about the flashing launcher ???
sorry - no more ideas ...
Thank you b63.
But that's not working...
Actually the sing-in part is not that annoying and I think that happens because of the default launcher.
Let me give more details about my problem.
So I have 2 launchers: the default one and GO launcher
Go launcher works perfectly, as I have said.
But once I switch to default launcher, I can see the launcher interface for one second or two, and it turns black for few seconds and the interface shows up again....
And my kindle keep doing this repeatedly.
(the notification bar is working, so I can still switch to Go launcher)
Thank you guys for helping me!
i'm using the same configuration
have set go launcher as default launcher and use stock launcher when i need it
works perfect
maybe try to reset the defaults of both launchers:
settings - apps - go (& stock) launcher - defaults (all at the bottom)

[Q] I changed my PPI and I crashed my launcher permanently.

I changed to 305ppi working fine
then I revert back to 149 (the device's native) now my launcher would force close all the time.
Now I can't launch anything, can't even change back
what could I do.... please help!!!
I had a problem where the launcher would crash repeatedly and I'd have to hit Ok or something. The system did work though so I was able to navigate to settings, while constantly hitting OK (to accept my launcher had crashed again).
In settings I was able to remove the Set as default option from the launcher and so the next time I hit Home I was asked to select a launcher - Here I chose another one and all was OK.
I installed ADW launcher and it launched just fine, but the stock browser, holo, go, and the likes are not, ADW is the only one
Also I couldn't get Chrome to run anymore, constantly crash, just like the stock launcher....
The icon in ADW is also 75% smaller, which I have no clue to fix or reverse this
grr

[Q] Default Launcher won't stick.

has anyone else had the issue of whatever launcher being set as default launcher NOT sticking across a boot, or sometimes even during regular operation? i downloaded Apex, and set it as my default, yet when i reboot, it always asks me to set default launcher again, and even sometimes when running other apps, if i hit the home button, it asks what launcher to run.

Nope. Never have that problem. Then again, I always freeze Touchwiz with Titanium Backup.

Whenever I use Apex or ADW I tend to have that same problem. Removing other launchers than the one you plan on using full time tends to clear that up. There may be an easier way to do it, but it's never been a big enough problem for me to try something else.

Issue with Rotating Lock Screens

Having an Issue with the 910G running 6.0.1 rooted w/ nova launcher. Every time I set my lockscreen wallpaper it automatically changes to a different one about every 30 minutes or so. Have tried to turn off in Settings and Nova Launcher but I don't think I can find it in Nova Launcher and nothing happens no matter what I do in the regular settings. What do!?

Nova Launcher switches to One UI when i clear recent apps

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
Did you perhaps got sd card installed? Usually if the app installed on sd card, it will revert back to default launcher whenever you restart.
I have also had this happen to me recently, happens generally when I have recently restarted the phone for a couple of hours and then it won't happen, really odd. It started happening after the November update. And to @Zac3 I don't have a sd card installed.
Same here !!! It bugs even out sometimes, switch automatic to One UI Launcher, and i can not open sometimes my recents Apps, i had cleared so many times data and cache, but nothing seems working.
Also when i got Nova immersive in settings, it shows me the black bar at the top of the screen, that also doesnt seem to work.
