I want to make my own shortcut to an app.
I need to control the existence of that shortcut to that app.
Normally, I have the app disabled on my phone.
Which means the normal app shortcut disappears from the homescreen.
Which means that app shortcut does not come back when I enable it.
And which means that disabled app shortcut is not in the app drawer.
Once in a while (usually in a month or two or three), I need the app.
So I search for the app in my app manager (it's not in the app drawer).
And then I open the app in the Android settings & I re-enable it.
Now the re-enabled app is still not in the homescreen.
But the re-enabled app is now in the app drawer.
From which I can pull it out and put it back on the homescreen.
But what would be nicer is having a placeholder on the homescreen.
A placeholder that doesn't go away when the app is disabled.
That placeholder always be there in the right folder on the homescreen.
Then, when needed, I could press the placeholder shortcut.
It would immediately go to the settings to re-enable the app.
And then it would run the app.
That might be two different placeholder shortcuts come to think of it.
How would I accomplish that?
