Hi all, totally new here. I'm trying to figure out how to add a few sideloaded apps onto the home screen of my new nvidia shield. I tried tv app repo's leanback shortcuts but the build fails each time. sideload launcher kinda works but I'm wondering if there's a way to add the app directly onto the homescreen (instead of through the launcher). Thanks in advance.
I use this on the Shield itself

I just use the kodi as my launcher, much more functionality
Here is your Solution works exactly as you are wanting

99 cent app works great
If you update to the latest release, you can add whatever you want very easily.
