Wow.  Okay, all I have to say is this: please do not be one of the people
who complains about fragmentation, and please provide HUGE CAVEATS to
-anyone- who is giving any thought to using your code.  You are entirely
relying on certain behavior, of a certain vendor's certain screen, that will
not happen on most other screens.  You can guarantee that this code will not
work or work poorly or various devices as they ship.

It's a clever trick for the cases where it works, but relies on highly
variable behavior between devices.
