I noticed on the android 11 final version, and with a fresh install that when setting a home launcher that ain't the OnePlus original launcher. after different amount of time the when going to home, the phone keeps asking for the "what app to set to default"
So with the OnePlus launcher it sticks and won't ask ever again for default launcher.
But with 4 different launchers, Microsoft, Nova and more, after second and more, up to 20 times going to home screen, it asks for what app to set to default launcher?
Any one more than me experiencing this issue?
It's quite annoying to keep seeing the default launcher.... So please write here if you having this issue.
There's another thread regarding that issue and I've posted an answer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83684893&postcount=5.
I had this problem too. I solved it by setting Nova Launcher as default in the Nova Launcher settings... Afterwards i can see it in my OP8pro standard apps as well...
Cheers

I did that too. However, sometimes the machine switches to the OP Launcher - it must be some kind of error in the system.
Have Nova as default and still watching 11 behavior...
Deliting the launcher and reinstalling, then first time it says would u want nova launcher as default say yes and solved at least for me. Hope messages from developers
I don't know what happened to my phone, but since a few weeks I didn't experienced this issue anymore.

I have tried home switcher and the likes to try to set go launcher, launcher pro and adw launcher. Tried to clear default manually. (Basically the same thing home switcher does).
But whenever i exit apps or even preferences. My phone prompts me to choose what launcher to use. I choose ex launcher pro. Tick of the default theme. And it still prompts me 2 minutes later.
I am not rooted. On froyo 2.2.1
Can anyone help choose and keep another launcher than htc sense?
Don't know, but for me after geting a new launcher(launcher pro), had hard time to move from sense, it's great.
But I just once selected the launcher pro as default, and phone has ever since asked to choose.
If i want to switch back to sense, how to do it? Only way i see is to instal another launcher to get the phone to ask what to use.
And haven't rooted my phone.

Uninstall launcherpro. Then Sense will take over.
getting back to sense is easy..
install yet another launcher to get to choose default. thats the hard and stupid way.
else.. settings/programs/ go set sense as the default
homeswitcher. which is the same. just takes a few steps off the process..
but how do i set another launcher as default for good, without home button sending me to choose default launcher all the time?
is it possible that an app has changed some settings?
can i freeze out sense or any other workaround, without rooting ?
I had this problem when I had Launcher 7 and ADW installed. I chose L7 to be my default and couldn't get ADW back. Then found out by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Application -> All and then choose Launcher Pro. Scroll down and you should see a section call Launch Default and click Clear Default. That should fix it.
I'm on CM7 so how you get to Application list may vary. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, of the phone constantly asking what launcher to use when pressing the home button. I would pick my preferred launcher, check the box to use my selection as default. Then it would stay as default for a while, but "lose" the default fairly soon. This happened frequently, many times a day.
I tried clearing the default (both manually and using home switcher), uninstalling all but the stock Sense launcher (this was on Virtuous), and the problem just came back even after just installing one launcher (and it didn't matter which, I tried installing/uninstalling different ones). Something definitely "changed" to cause this problem (although I don't know what). It was fine for a while when I was on Virtuous, and then one day it wasn't. I was playing around with various launchers at the time. So I all can think is one of them somehow messed up the ability to keep the default.
The problem persisted until I flashed back to the stock ROM. Only other thing I can think of to try, is to clear dalvik and cache. Clearing those seems to fix some random problems, once in a while.

I had the same problem, and after reading tons about it online, it seems the only explanation is that one of your apps is interfering with the choice, it can be any app you have, even if it has nothing to do with a Launcher function.
What I did was backup all my apps (130+) to Titanium (I am rooted), then uninstall them all. I then proceeded to reinstall them by batches of 3-5. Until I pinned down the problem to Photoid Pro. I dumped it and ever since my Z has been working flawlessly on Zeam launcher.
I have read that there are several other apps that interfere as well, so you might have to do as me, uninstall, and reinstall until you can spot the culprit.
Hi, I was wondering for a while if there is any launcher setup, magisk module or anything that can do the following:
- stock OP launcher, settings, folders, transitions and everything
- google news on the left
- google search bar below the icons
I tried all third party launcher on the market (including cpl, rootless, hyperion and so on), I used nova on every previous devices and it was my initial setup on this one too, and I always experiment because I want my google news instead of shelf and sometimes I need that bar on that place, but those small hints stock OP can offer are missing from all the others so I always keep going back... and after a while starting to experiment again...
As you guess, this is not a t-mobile OP and I'm not in the US, I have A6013 running oos beta 9.
Any idea is appreciated.
Is anyone else having default home app issues after the update? I use Lawnchair and it won't "stick". Sometimes when I go from an app to the home using gestures, it goes to Oxygen Launcher, and sometimes goes to Lawnchair (I have this set as my home defult app in settings).
It is a bug within Lawnchair. Used it as well and the OS "forgets" the Default app and shows a blank selection in settings. I switched to Hyperion and it is perfect now!
Same happens with the nova launcher, sometimes I am landing at the oxygen launcher.
Same here with nova launcher
I figured it out guys. You have to select the OP launcher first and then select other launcher as default.
I was having this problem with Microsoft Launcher so I decided to uninstall then reinstall it - haven't had a problem since.
Just sharing in case anyone has had the same experience as I. I've set Nova to be the default launcher and several times throughout the day i have to re-select which launcher i want to be default (oneplus or nova). I cleared data on oneplus launcher, removed all permissions including allowing control over system settings and location, both of which were reset back to allow without my input.
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.launcher
This will break recents, see below for more. Try re-installing the launcher from the store, clear cache, reboot then set your preferred launcher.
This seems to stop the re-prompt that only some of us are experiencing. i'm running unlocked KB2005 if that makes a difference.
--- UPDATE ---
This broke recents for me. I reinstalled OnePlus Launcher from the google play store and recents still wasnt working. I eventually uninstalled it then reinstalled the system apk (/system/system_ext/priv-app/OPLauncher2/OPLauncher2.apk). I then updated via Google Play store and rebooted. I now have recents back and for about 12 hours now i have not had a re-prompt to specify which launcher i want as my main. Looking back, i probably could have just installed the launcher from the play store and just rebooted. It looks like a reboot is necessary to get recents working again (may need to clear cache on the launcher too).
Below is what i'm running with no issues with a re-prompt (so far):
Build: KB2005_15_200918
OnePlus Launcher: 5.0.1.1.201016174749.07a9106
Nova Launcher: 6.2.14 (BETA)
I've been using Nova Launcher also and haven't had any issues with the phone trying to switch back to OnePlus Launcher.

No issues with Nova here either.
OMG, I use Nova all the time....this better not be happening. I'm getting sick and tired of all the CRAP these OEM's are pulling lately.
Ya I have had the same issue too. But I came to the conclusion to stick with the oneplus launcher. You can swipe down to get the shelf which actually is very handy if you have the Google action blocks and a house full of automated google compatible accessories. And I can. Still swipe right to get the Google feed.
Try selecting the OnePlus launcher as the default home app then switchback to Nova. I had issues until I did this switcheroo.

Received my phone yesterday...works great!
Might be the best OnePlus phone I've had so far.
Had the 6, and the 7 Pro, and now the 8T.
Using Nova and I have no problems at all!
This phone replaced a Galaxy S20 FE that I sent back today. There's NO comparison in quality of the hardware and especially the software.
I had same issues.
What worked for me was setting Nova launcher as default.
Then going into settings>system>accessibility and turning Nova launcher on. Haven't had the issue since.
Been using nova launcher the past 3 days and havent had a problem with oneplus 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
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.
