Description
A little app that will wipe your current home screen and then prompt you to select a new one. Can be used instead of finding the app that is the default in settings, and wiping defaults.
Whilst this app does list in the launcher options, it will force you to keep picking another one, so please do not select it as your launcher. This isn't a bug, it is by design - It is not a launcher replacement, merely a tool that lets you easily clear your defaults.
Home Switch does not work with devices running:
MIUI EMUI (Support is added in Beta) ColorOS FlymeOS And FireOS (Amazon Fire)
Or anything else that sets a home launcher without using the standard Android defaults.

Works great on android 10. I have a galaxy S10 Plus running Android 10. This let's me quickly switch between OneUI and NovaLauncher while setting up Nova to match WHT I had on OneUI. I always forget the icon folders I had set up.

Works great No problems on my fire phone and my nook running cyanogen

This is the best quick switcher I've used On my Sophone i6 plus, the custom settings.app is designed like the iOS preferences.app- So there is no "default app" selection like I have in my Samsung device. I like to use the custom launcher which looks like iOS 8, but I also like to use either arrow launcher or Google Now Launcher. That's as of right now, I switch launchers constantly always looking for better ones, next launcher has been the best for me actually. with this app set on the home screens of every launcher, I can switch instantly!

Not working :'( I have bought a kindle fire 5th gen and I am unable to switch launchers, when I tap Home Switch it opens and closes in a second. Is this because the app is not meant for fire os five even though its based of lollipop? Really want the dev to respond even if they say it can't work on fire os 5. :'(

Cant make it work I am stuck in the "set default launcher" screen and after 10 seconds or so I get a text saying my phone recovered from a serious issue caused by Home Switch and prompting me to uninstall. Useless (Huawei Ascend P7)
★★☆☆☆
If worked for Amazon Fire Phone, but it doesn't work any more! An "update" destroyed it for me. It does not matter if the Fire Phone is in some official list or not. It is a good phone and works fine with most android apps.
