M8 Kodi Homescreen

[sivvy]

Hello to all members,

Firstly I'm new to Kodi Android TV M8 box, and have come across 2 icons on my homescreen.

I'm not sure how they came there, and asking if anyone knows how to delete them.

Thank you.

Cloud TV is a Chinese TV streaming app. Don't know if it works outside of China though. Not sure what the girl icon is, a dating app?

Possibly the box came with them pre-installed. Have a look at the list of installed apps in settings. Might be able to uninstall them from there, or at least disable them.

Hey mike, thanks, i found Cloud TV and which was pre-installed and i did uninstall it from the settings. This has now gone from the homescreen.
Regarding the girl icon, when you click to open it leads to Google homepage with a url address which cannot be open.
This i would like to delete also if known from the homescreen.

If the girl icon isn't an app, it sounds like an internet URL short-cut then, which won't appear in apps. Usually to delete them is to hold down on it, and that should give the option to delete. However this device doesn't have a touch-screen you can hold your finger down on. Might be able to do it with a PC mouse though. I guess it's Chinese as well, the text is gibberish, when it should be in Chinese probably, and frankly she does look somewhat oriental as well. ..and also it can't open the URL, probably if you're not in China.

Yes i agree its a URL short-cut, and when its highlighted and clicked on a box opens, 'Complete action using' Browser or Videomix. Browser takes it to Google with a URL. Videomix opens up a streaming movies app.

If highlight the icon and press menu, an option box pops up with Wallpaper, Manage Apps, System Settings
And still i cannot find an option to delete it.

Well the answer to this was to erase all data and reinstall Kodi.
Now the icons are gone from Homescreen.

Now i do not have the Kodi icon in the Taskbar of the Homescreen.

Would anyone know how to add it alongside the other icons.
Thank you
