Special thanks to:​

If you find relevant questions that should be here, just let me know & I'll add them to the FAQ​

Thanks for reading & hope this helps you in anyway​

First of all, thank you for reading. Regarding your question, it only works on cm roms.

Yes.

Thank you. For disable low battery sound & notf. I use this xposed module. Regarding the BLN, better you read the description on playstore.

I don't understand you! Just download it from playstore.

I think bln only works on 3rd party sms apps, not work with cm sms built-in app. BTW, keeping the lights on till the sms is reading only sucks your battery

Added another way to boot in recovery (3 button combo).
