Hi guys,
Just purchased a cheap mxq box off eBay.
I can't seem to find an icon for kodi. But when I go into
The play store it says its installed and I can run it from there.
It's not under the apps folder on the box though.
Any thoughts?

I think we should really ask financial compensation for having to do 'free' support on those various cheap android boxes.
p.s.: STOP SHOUTING IN TOPIC TITLES!

Ask the cheap seller who sold you the cheap box?
We make Kodi, not boxes...

I'd try uninstalling it and re-installing. Chances are the box-seller didn't do a proper job first time around.

It's not missing but named TV Center, so you should go to the google store and type "kodi" and then click uninstall, Google will then notify you that the program came pre-installed on the machine, just confirm the uninstalling process, then search for "kodi" again (you will be offered krypton 17.6 version), download and install and that's it.

To fix the missing Kodi icon in the MX10 box just open the calculator and type in the pi symbol followed immediately by the numbers 318 the Kodi icon will appear in my apps if you have Kodi installed it is a large K symbol. If you RE-enter the above it will be removed. This is something some Chinese sellers are now doing, because of the whole Kodi May become illegal bla bla.

I'm new to kodi and I bought a cheap box (MXQ pro 4k) to see if it (kodi) really worth all the talk I keep hearing about. I'm having the same issues some of the other post were having. I installed kodi from the google play store, and can't find the icon to use kodi. I loaded 2 other programs and the icon for them showed up, but nothing for kodi. Did I do something wrong? Im trying to cut the cord but now I'm asking myself is it really worth cutting. Any advice or help will be appreciated

Solution 1.
Open your calculator app and type in π318
Solution 2... even easier.
On the main screen, on your remote or keyboard, punch in 2027
Please don't flame me for adding a reply to this so late in the game, it's because this thread comes up first when googling for an answer. And the second option will greatly benefit those like me who where pulling their hair out because their device didn't even come with a calculator app.
