Example of adding apps to home through Launcher.db

(ROOT ONLY)

please only use this if you understand how it works and how your launcher.db structure looks like, this is more of a proof of concept

this is an example of adding apps directly through Launcher.db, this adds missing apps that aren't in your home screen in a bulk, it also gives you more control on making it into widgets instead (just incase you have an annoying phone that removes all the apps from your external storage in the home screen when rebooting because it thinks they are missing because the launcher starts before the sd card gets mounted, totally not saying this from personal experience), also could help in specific cases

please forget the weird variable names, also make a folder in Downloads called "bullshit" (you can tell I was mad when making this), the reason i made it this way instead of just adding it directly to downloads folder is because for some reason at rare times it deletes the directory that the database is in, when automate is modifying the database (either that or it's mixplorer built-in sqlite viewer fault, still not sure), lost my downloads folder because of it, so just to be safe I made it inside "bullshit" folder, that way it only deletes the bullshit folder when it happens and nothing else, I ran the flow multiple times and that's the only issue I encountered

Warning: Please check how the flow works before running it as i only tested it for my infinix x687 device, you need to change the launcher package to yours and see how your launcher.db looks like
Also back up your original launcher.db just incase
