What launcher are you using now? Which launcher do you want to change it to?
I set the stock launcher to default and want to change it to helix but I have no idea how to change the setting on the stock launcher.
Ive used helix for a few minutes before switching back to launcher. Try starting helix from the applications list.from there you can set it as the default launcher I guess.there is no setting in the default launcher to disable it or close it if I recall. U need to start helix first.

Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Find and select the launcher and it will give you info about it. One of the options should be "remove defaults". I'm running Desire so launcher isn't listed for me but give this a try and see if it works.
It's different if your default launcher is the launcher the phone came with since it is not listed in Manage Apps. What I ended up doing, was downloading a third launcher and only then was I able to get the prompt that ask which launcher to use.
how do i enable the cube like scrolling for the app menu?
If you are talking about the 3D app drawer, you may need the stock 2.1 launcher, ADW Launcher, or LauncherPro (or other launchers that might have it; I'm not sure of others). Do you have any of those?
i have launcher pro
Go to the LauncherPro settings by hitting menu on the homescreen and go to Preferences > Advanced Settings > check Use 3D drawer
I know this is an old thread but it's perfect for my question. I'm using ADW (on the AOSP Spaceman ROM) and would like to enable the 3D drawer. How would I go about doing that?
Google....adw launcher
When you open settings from the stock launcher, you get a tabbed menu like the attached pic, but when you open settings from a launcher like Nova, you get a boring ol' list. Is there any way to open the tabbed version (first attached screenshot) from Nova or similar?
So I've tried both Nova and Lawnchair launchers on my Pixel 5, and both have the same issue, when swiping up to go back Home, it resets back to the default Pixel launcher.
I looked in settings for both launchers, as to why it's doing that, but can't find why?
Is this a known issue, that launchers don't work on Android 11?
I use nova and have found that if I set default to nova and the then go back to the settings/apps/pixel Launcher and force close it, it keeps it from happening. Also when I'm in there I disable all notifications and permissions as well.

I'm on the November security update of Android 11 and I've had zero issues with Nova launcher.
Still no issues with Nova here.

How are you setting the launcher as the main launcher?
Go to the main settings, apps, default apps. Set the home launcher you want here. Sticks everytime for me.
No issues with Nova here. I do use 3 buttons navigation instead of gesture navigation, but i've just switched it and tested, "home" swipe works fine and opens Nova.
Make sure you've set it as default launcher.
I absolutely set Nova as Home launcher in the App - Default -Settings, and when I swipe up from home gesture it resorts back to the standard Pixel launcher.
Just tried to reproduce again. Set the system yo "gestures" control. Fired up a "google keep". Did a "home" swipe (from the bottom edge up, without holding at the end). Got Nova!

Manually start Nova. Don't play with anything else. Go into Nova Launcher settings. From there you can set Nova as the default launcher. No issues, it will stick.
I had a bit of weirdness setting the default launcher from Android settings, and if I recall correctly, from my 4 XL as well.
I would venture a guess that's why the Nova folks put that setting in their application.
I have installed Nova launcher. After update to 12.5, I am unable to use Menu button to show recent apps tray. So I want to switch to stock launcher but I am not getting any option in default apps. Only Nova launcher is present. Hence the question.
Go to Settings > Home screen > Default launcher > System launcher
