 +Caution: on my device (stock i9505 with android 4.4.2) LLX v9.9.7 crashes after i rotate a couple of times. Others do not have this issue.
 +TODO: after the crash is fixed i will improve the following:
 +  * Make the scrolling infinite
 +  * Make a setup script (will need to be able to create shortcuts from script)
 +  * Make the visible item count customizable and hide excess items
