This is not a Kodi issue but a launcher issue. The default chinese launcher sucks bigtime anyway, why don't you install something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...launchertv It is really simple but has all the needed features, and it is much smaller than all other launchers, consumes less RAM etc. And you can chose which icons to have on main screen....

Thanks DaLanik, I would try it and let you know whether it worked.

I just took a look at your device, and since it has "only" 1Gb or RAM, I think you will benefit from the smaller launcher

I tried several but they all used much more RAM and had things I don't need... this is the smallest launcher... anyway, I run Kodi immediately after launcher boots, automatically... so I need launcher only if I need access to system to make some changes.

No no, I use another small app to automatically launch Kodi.

So just install the launcher and Kodi would be displayed on the main screen / My Apps automatically?

Yes, there are 2 screens there, 1 with all apps and desktop. I thin you need to add it to desktop from all apps drawer...

It's not an "issue" it's purposefully done by chinese android box makers because of the whole unauthorized 3rd party piracy addons giving kodi a bad name. It's a customs thing. They edit the launcher so it looks like kodi is not on there when it is. It's disguised as something else like the calculator.
