AOSP Launcher3's SessionCommitReceiver only auto-adds a newly installed app to the home screen when the session's install reason equals INSTALL_REASON_USER. All three installer backends were omitting this: SessionInstaller left the reason at INSTALL_REASON_UNKNOWN; RootInstaller and ShizukuInstaller pass the reason via pm's --install-reason 4 flag (available since Android O).

🐛 Problem
Apps installed via Droid-ify were not appearing on the launcher home screen, while the same app installed from another store (e.g. Aurora Store) would be added automatically. ❌
🔍 Root cause
AOSP Launcher3's
SessionCommitReceiveronly adds the icon to the home screen if the install session hasINSTALL_REASON_USERas its install reason. None of the three installer backends were setting it:INSTALL_REASON_UNKNOWNpmcommand was missing the flag→ The launcher silently ignored the committed session: the app was installed correctly, but no shortcut was ever created.
✅ Fix
SessionInstaller→setInstallReason(INSTALL_REASON_USER)RootInstaller&ShizukuInstaller→ added--install-reason 4(Android 8+)Three lines total, no behavioral change outside this case. ✨
📱 Testing
Tested on physical devices (LineageOS / Android 13 and Android 16): the icon now correctly appears on the home screen after installation, in both session and root mode. ✅
Properly fixes #807, #113 which was closed as completed but never actually resolved.
