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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
