It contains some adjustments to make the app working again with CM13+ (see this Forum thread) – and currently it seems to work at least up to Android 8.Though being a bit old, it seems to be in high demand and favored over newer apps, so I’ve made the exception to add it to this repo nevertheless, on special request by @STP_KITT. Updates are rather unlikely, though.
