EDIT 3 / Update

Auto detect/fix way

Try this script (may not work though):

devel-su python -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TylerTemp/fix-jolla-desktop/master/fix.py)" smartbanking

This will generate an icon on desktop.

If the generated icon does not work actually, remove the icon by

devel-su rm /usr/share/applications/apkd_launcher_fix_smartbanking.desktop

I don't have a Jolla C device so I can't re-produce this issue. The reason might be the location or name changing of the apk file. This script will try to find the new apk file if the old one does not exist.

Also, everytime the device gets reboot it will clean the generated icon. If it happens, run the script again.

Manual way

If the script above do not work, try this:

cd /usr/share/applications
ls | grep bank

If it print filename which looks like smartbank：

apkd_launcher_com_zentity_sbank_csobsk-com_csobsk_smartbankingv2_activity_SplashActivity.desktop

then edit it by:

nano apkd_launcher_com_zentity_sbank_csobsk-com_csobsk_smartbankingv2_activity_SplashActivity.desktop

In my case it looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=apkd-launcher /data/app/com.zentity.sbank.csobsk-1.apk com.zentity.sbank.csobsk/com.csobsk.smartbankingv2.activity.SplashActivity
Icon=/var/lib/apkd/apkd_launcher_com_zentity_sbank_csobsk-com_csobsk_smartbankingv2_activity_SplashActivity.png
Name=Smart
Banking
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-Nemo-Application-Type=no-invoker
X-Nemo-Single-Instance=no
X-apkd-apkfile=/data/app/com.zentity.sbank.csobsk-1.apk
X-apkd-packageName=com.zentity.sbank.csobsk
MimeType=text/html;x-maemo-urischeme/http;x-maemo-urischeme/https;

X-Maemo-Object-Path=/
X-Maemo-Method=com.zentity.sbank.csobsk.com_2Ecsobsk_2Esmartbankingv2_2Eactivity_2ESplashActivity

The issue here is

Name=Smart
Banking

Change it to Name=Smart Banking, then keyboard ctrl+x -> y -> Enter, it should be fixed.

Plz also update/comment here if this command does not work.

Original Anwser:

OK I found out the reason.

I'll explain in details since you're not an expert :D

1. Enable the developer mode (You can easily Google it out)
2. Download this file: https://tomorrow.comes.today/static/upload/TylerTemp/file/apkd_launcher_com_zentity_sbank_csobsk-com_csobsk_smartbankingv2_SplashActivity.desktop
3. Upload this file to your Jolla phone, put it under your Downloads folder (you can use File Browser)
4. Open the Terminal app (It's auto-installed after you active the developer mode)
5. Input devel-su, hit enter
6. When screen display Password:, input the password you filled when you active the developer mode in step 1. The screen should display [root@jolla nemo]# (Note it will not display "*" when you enter the password)
7. Input cp /home/nemo/Downloads/apkd_launcher_com_zentity_sbank_csobsk-com_csobsk_smartbankingv2_SplashActivity.desktop /usr/share/applications/, hit enter.
8. If it ask for override, input yes and hit enter.
9. If the icon still not appear, input chmod 777 /usr/share/applications/apkd_launcher_com_zentity_sbank_csobsk-com_csobsk_smartbankingv2_SplashActivity.desktop, if still not appears, try rebooting your phone.

It works on my phone: Sailfish OS 1.0.0.11, SmartBanking: 4.2, Android support: 0.17.27

EDIT

This also happens on the new TaoBao app (android app). Hope Jolla can fix it.

NOTE: Every time you update this app, you need to do step 2-9 again.

EDIT 2

How to enable developer mode:

1. Go to settings-developer mode

2. light up the Developer mode, light up the Remote connection, input your password in the Set password for SSH and root ac..., hit save

   

3. Open terminal, input devel-su, hit the enter. After Password: shows up, input your password you filled in step 2, hit enter. Your screen should looks like this:

   

That's all.
