Help 5.0.1 - Cannot change launcher

Hi,

Ever since Version pushed the OTA Lollipop update, I cannot set a 3rd party launcher as the default (nova, apex, etc...). I can run a launcher and set it in default Application -> Home, but as soon as I go the recent apps screen (long press home button), and "close all", it reverts back to touchwiz.

A factory reset does not help.

Any one seeing this?

I am running 5.0.1 on verizon.
