Pros

• Quick access to Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Phone Numbers, etc.
• Customizable user-interface for carousels

Cons

• Default carousel spin is not optimal, however tweak it in the Settings
• Background randomly appears/disappears when scrolling the carousel

Features:

UltimateFaves Android App offers quick access to Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Phone Numbers, etc. at the spin of the carousel. Choose up to 16 items to save in your list. Alternate replacement for Live Folders in Android and you can save home screen shortcuts to carousels. Control the carousel by swiping with your finger, trackball or D-Pad. Save unlimited carousel lists in Pro (only 2 in lite version). Recent updates include task management capabilities.

Gripe Alert: I have a few gripes with the app; carousel spin itself and the background of your phone is supposed to be displayed however blinks in & out randomly.
