[Q] I need help making a Star Trek-themed launcher - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently using some fakery to scroll the live wallpaper (my app broadcasts the new X/Width parameters, but it's a bit laggy) and will do some more fakery to support widgets (both methods will only work with another Star Trek app I made: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omnicorp.lcarui.test&hl=en since I want to keep everything LCARSian.)
My questions are as follows:
High priority:
What is the code to either bring up the Create Shortcut dialog, or get a list of the shortcut types currently registered?
I understand that once the app creates a shortcut, it sends it to the launcher via intents I'll have to listen to.
Low priority:
What is the code to scroll the live wallpaper the correct way?
I'm using android:[email protected]:style/Theme.Wallpaper to show it.
Demo of what I've got so far:

[APP] Overlays - Hovering widgets (No Root)

While the Note 2 has great multitasking, and with root (or without) you can have multi windows for a range of applications (not just the stock ones).
But, as far as I am aware, this doesn't include widgets.
This app allows you to having floating widgets, which is brilliant, for a range of reasons. I am sure people will come up with many creative ways to use this app (setting profiles, even has a Tasker plug-in).
Great for running Google Maps with a Google Play Music widget or example

Have a play with the Free Version first, but the paid version will allow you to do more (setting profiles and other stuff).

The screen size of this phone is going to be a benchmark size for the phones coming next year after Google themselves have gone for a 6" screen. How best do you utilize this massive real estate? Widgets etc that make use of the screen. Will start with mine.

Ever wonder how developers get those amazing screenshots to show off their app? It adds quite a bit of value to a screenshot when you see it in the frame of an Android device. It gives it a more realistic look and displays your app in the way that the user will see it.
You could work in Photoshop to put something like this together but one of the best ways to do this is to use an app caller Screener.
With Screener, you can import your screenshots and create a frame using mockups of the latest Android devices. You can choose between 3D, flat or minimalist designs. Then you can go through and choose a custom background as well.
The library of frames is regularly updated with new phone mockups. The app is very easy to use and you'll have better looking screenshots within a minute of using the app.

Lockscreen favorite wallpapers limit reached, can't add or save to sd/MFVKeyguard

Lockscreen favorite wallpapers limit reached, can't add or save to sd/MFVKeyguard
I'm using an european model A2017G with B08 update and love the new lockscreen wallpapers feature. Each time a find one interesting i clock to add to favorites and download to /storage/MFVKeyguard.
But from today i'm no longer able to do so, whenever i click to favorite the following message is displayed: "The number is exceeded, can't add save to /storage/emulated/0/MFVKeyguard/Favorite".
I have tried to move all the image files from the fovorite folder which is now empty but still can't save new wallpapers anymore. A reboot also doesn't help.
