Make an android app keep its spot on the home screen on uninstall/reinstall When developing android apps, I will often end up reinstalling the app I'm working on (deliberately after uninstalling it, or when the build signatures are different).

It's bothersome to always put this app back on the home screen where I want it. And if I don't, I either have to type its name in the app directory (which can take a few letters depending on how similar its name is to other apps) or scroll to find it.

Has anyone found a way to have an app find it's previous spot on a reinstall, or something that would make finding it easier ?

I'm familiar with Tasker and Llama, but couldn't find such options.
Not quite what you asked for, but you could put a Tasker shortcut on the home screen, and have that task just open the app. You could also have that task try different package names in order to support both your debug and release versions.
