Home button won't default to launcher

[mista_mobs]

Hi,

in the the last few days, almost every time I press the home screen, my phone asks me which launcher to use. I've been using Nova Launcher Prime for months with no problems. I've cleared the cache (but not the data) for HTC Sense, and cleared the cache for Nova Launcher. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Nova, and yesterday I downloaded Atom Launcher, but the problem persists.

Have you checked off "Always Use" when it asks you which launcher?

 

[mista_mobs]

Yes I've tried that, also gone into Nova settings and set to default there.

I'm not familiar with your phone, but is there a way to simply turn off or disable Sense?

 

[mista_mobs]

No I don't think there is.

Try going to manage apps and select all apps and scroll down the list until you find the sense laucher (ususally the icon is the default homescreen clock) tap it and try to clear defaults.

Moved to the Android Lounge for better help with the issue.

Hi argedion, I think I did that, it's greyed out anyway. Is it dangerous to clear data? I've avoided doing that it will delete settings and accounts etc.
