I just tested it, the automatically open preferred application doesn't work for me. the application choice list in settings is still bugged, first app in list is still forced checked. which convinces me the reboot loop on uninstall bug is still lurking in there, which i'm afraid to uninstall now.
i have filed a bug tracker on the choice list issue, and somebody else has filed a bug tracker on the reboot loop. doesn't look like anything has been done about it.

unless somebody has successfully uninstalled this app and not get trapped in a reboot loop, i don't see how it can be encouraged to be pushed into extras.

apologies, i was referring to cl-launcher.
