Sideload non-'Android TV' app to show on the home screen

Question

I've sideloaded an app on my Xiaomi Mi Box adb install myapk.apk. It worked and I can start it. My problem is, that it got installed as system app, which is only accesible over the settings and prevents me from adding it to the home screen, which makes it really anoying.


Can I sideload an app directly as user app or can I convert a existing system app to a user app?


EDIT:
The app I sideloaded is a tv app of a provider which is supposed to only run on mobile devices, as the distribute apple tv.

Answer

I found a working solution for me.
As I cannot add the sideloaded app to my home screen, I used this service to generate a launcher app which can be added to the home screen and will start the main app:
