Since update to Android 11, default launcher setting doesn't seem to work after phone switch off/on

[fx777]

Since the update to Android 11, my Note 20 Ultra is not remembering which launcher/Home app i'm using.  I use Nova instead of Samsung's One UI Home, and each time my phone is turned off when I power it back on, it shows 'None' under the Default Home App under settings. I have to manually choose Nova each time. Sometimes even then it still reverts back to One UI Home after choosing Nova.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Has Nova Prime been updated by it's developer to work with Android 11 ? Are there any waiting updates  ?

If clearing the system files cache does not work then I'd suggest to update the app developer of this possible bug.

Invested a few posts that discuss some hiccups with the update but none that involves the phone not staying with the launcher of personal choice.

Clear your phone's System Cache Files by turning your phone Off and then from a set series of button presses go into the phone's System Files and clear the cache. No information is lost this way. You may need to insert your headphones or hook upto a computer with your data cable to get to this menu on the phone. 

I wish you all the best with this.
