Change default Home app

[rockice]

I installed Pixel 2 Launcher.apk as default Home app. But when I reboot phone, I need manully set Pixel Launcher as default Home app, otherwise Home app will still be Launcher3.
How can I disable or delete Launcher3? Where is Launcher3 app in system?

Even I am using pixel launcher but I am not facing any such issues. If you have not already done, go to settings --> apps --> click gear icon(top right) --> under 'home' select ''pixel launcher'.


P.S : I am using pixel launcher v1.7

Same version. It doesn't work.

If your device is rooted just uninstall the default launcher using 'System App remover (root)' app. If your device is not rooted try to install third party launcher preferably 'Nova Launcher' and reboot, then set pixel launcher as default( As specified in my previous post). I am not sure whether this works. But initially I installed nova launcher and then later pixel. Hope it works.

I advise you not to uninstall any of the system apps because you might have extra problems with installing OTA update. You should only freeze system apps, so they are not active, nor visible

Thanks Ved K's suggestion. I install 'System App Remover' app and find Launcher3.apk's path. Rename this apk, so I get Pixel 2 Launcher as my default Home app when I reboot system everytime.
The next I want solve is set Live Wallpapers - Your world, Solar System as my default Home screen when reboot.

I'm using Microsoft Launcher and I don't find any issues keeping it as default launcher.

I just selected (ALWAYS) When asked Just once/always while touching home button.

I have MiA1.

Another alternate is to reset DEFAULTS in settings menu from the LAUNCHER3 APP.

There is no way to freeze Launcher3 if device is not rooted.
You can neither disable nor uninstall default launcher and imo! After playing with ADB tools for years and switching/flashing multiple/heavy OSs in my various devices I find rooting a waste. It makes your device vulnerable (not talking about security, talking about performance) and you eventually miss the future updates that feels miserable (flashing them is time taking, not for worthy people as every worthy individual is busy person).
