[KERNEL] Pimped Kernel (For CM-based 4.4.x Roms) [SoundControl/GPU OC/IntelliPlug/PowerSuspend...]
I do not own the Z1 Compact, but as it's very similar to the Z1 I will be supporting it as well.
Please report whether this initial release works as expected or not
All the kernel features are controllable through my Pimp My Z1 app, (thread here).
