Okay. By the way you might want to re-word the title before someone closes this for being a duplicate of "How to create custom Sailfish style icons for Android apps".

Have you tried reinstalling the app?

jollailija ( 2016-02-06 19:48:08 +0300 )edit

Yes, I tried reinstall it from yandex market and google play.

Try to locete your application desktop file inside /usr/share/applications, post it contents here, then remove this file and do systemctl restart apkd

there is no .desktop file present after apparently installing Yandex.Store. This is because the app isn't actually installed yet.

As you using aliendalvik-control please make sure you have latest version installed, because previous ones had bugs :)

After installing Yandex.Store - we find it has not installed at all. Don't try to remove it or install it again, as the APK is now on the device, but it needs to be 'installed' properly.

So, using 'search' in File Browser, I found the APK for Yandex.Store, which can be installed from within File Browser.

The APK resides in /data/app/packaged. Install it, job done. Icon on launcher now present. App working.
