Those that have been around Android for a while know that in the days prior to Lollipop, we could use custom batteries. This was one of the things that we enjoyed and made our devices stand out.
In Lollipop, Google took that away and while we still have a few custom batteries (circle, dotted, landscape, etc) we don't have as many.
Cue the 3Minit battery mod which promised to fill this void and does it well.

The problem with it was not the app nor the code behind it but the maintainers behind it. Some decided to play God with it and hold it over people's head. Things like "I'm not providing support for this ROM" were said for no real reason but because they didn't like an individual involved with the ROM.
I and many members of the open source community saw this as petty BS. If you're going to provide a mod then is either all or nothing. If you don't want to provide support then take your toys and keep it to yourself.
Well long story short, this is no longer something we have to deal with. Thanks to the help of my friend and fellow developer @bigrushdog and the actual 3Minit developer @gharrington , open source developers can now add the necessary code to make the app work flawlessly in their custom ROM.
No begging some random user to add support or petty games of favoritism.
All you (the custom ROM developer) would have to do is cherry pick these two commits and that's it!

Direct your users to the support thread for general app support and/or links to the app

Out of courtesy for the great work that @gharrington has done, maybe throw a thanks in your thread for him :)
Enjoy and long live open source!! :)
