About this app

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.
