>> Do some research. Check thread, repo, commits etc.

100% charging not required but ensure battery has enough power to boot up or handle bootloop in case (Over 25%)

Already in your signatures and this has been recommended by FXP himself search CM 9.1 forum.
I still have to try this kernel and looks promising to me in Rachit's Kernel battery was way better comparing to FXP Original Kernel.
Good Work Jain Sahab good to see you in real development :laugh::laugh::laugh:
