   Hi AJL,   
      
   I am confused by that description, so I'm simply gonna assume (for now,   
   unless corrected) that you think you have a package installed, and yet   
   there is no icon for you to launch that package, which is very common.   
      
   I have over a thousand packages installed, for example, on my 64GB Galaxy   
   but, oh, I don't know, only half of that (or fewer) have homescreen icons.   
      
   I had tested all the free "app drawer" apps years ago and found every one   
   lacking so the way I'd go is I'd use Muntashirakon App Manager to find it.   
      
   If it's installed in the system or user space, Muntashirakon should see it.   
    1. Once Muntashirakon sees it, it can launch it.   
    2. Once Muntashirakon sees it, it can create a homescreen shortcut to it.   
      
   If you don't want to install Muntashirakon, adb should be able to see it.   
    C:\> adb shell pm list packages | findstr /i files   
      
      
   If Muntashirakon and/or adb doesn't see it, then it's not there.   
   --   
   I avoid complex solutions when a leaner one already solves known issues.
