Apps missing after moving to SD card

Dear all,

yesterday I made a light mistake. Because I bought a bigger sd card for my D6603. During the copy and installation of the new SD card in my phone, I used the "move to SD card" function. Several apps were transfered which was fine. Without thinking I reinstalled the SD card a second time. After this I realized my mistake. 14 apps were missing in my launcher. Most apps I could reinstall on the phone and then move to SD card to recover them. But only on app is missing. I dont know yet if it is a default app from 5.1.1. installation or a downloaded one. Now I need your help.

1.) Do you have a picture of side 1 to 3 of an fresh installed D6603 with 5.1.1? So I can compare the installed apps.

2.) How can I found out the name of the missing app in a not rooted 5.1.1.?

Any help will be great.

Thanks,

Marko

Nope not really. Actually my question is the last question in this thread. How do I know which apps belongs to this icon?

Because if I clear data of home screen, then the missing application is gone forever. I already re-installed a lot of apps from my google play store account, which brought back some of the missing apps, but this last one is still missing. So I wonder if this is a Sony pre-installed app or a downloaded one.

I don't think you can move default apps on SD without rooting. So it is a 3rd party app.
