It looks like adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 doesn't work on Android 4.4.4 (AI suggests it was introduced with 5.0 Lollipop). At least after running this command I was presented with a (Chinese) selection dialog after boot, probably to decide which launcher to use.

After some digging I found that disabling the default launcher works using this command instead:

pm block com.himilink.HiMILauncher2
