I’ve switched some default apps in Android 9, but they’re occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?
Oh, sorry. Your screenshot said Pixel launcher so I thought you were using a pixel. The other reply has some options so hopefully there’s a way for you to break free.
I couldn’t make a post without a picture for some reason so I’ve attached random pic
Anyway, thanks for advice, I will give Graphene a try if I manage to get a Pixel
Note that GrapheneOS (currently) only supports Pixels. I assume the comment assumed it was a Pixel due to the Google apps and the Pixel Launcher.
Since you don’t have a Pixel, you can look at other degoogled Android ROMs like LineageOS (compatible with lots of devices), iodeOS (fork of Lineage with additional privacy bits and a parental control feature), and e/OS (Lineage fork with a custom iOS-like launcher, tied with Murena services).
And I believe that installing ROMs do not require rooting devices for devices that allow you unlock the bootloader. Not sure about your specific device, it might require rooting to do that.

Stuff like this drove me nuts. I was checking installed apps sorted by install date periodically so I could catch and uninstall apps I didn’t install.
https://grapheneos.org/install/web took 15 minutes and I was free from all that. Only thing I miss is tap to pay via google pay.
I wish I could use Graphene but I’m afraid I won’t manage rooting a Honor
Once I tried rooting an old ZTE and even then I failed
