the screen is super clean other than it's new , i rubbed well jajaj . But I confirm because I did it three times , trwp , CM13-6.0.1 and official rom: AMN- I8730XWANE1-20140703112302 give me "crazy touch error" . But when flash "CM11 4.4.4 forum"everything goes well . This has to be an explanation. because it happens?

Edit: Can it be kernel? My version is : 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-ga8a6fc3 szezso@szezso-legacy #2 wed oct 29 21:58:14 CET 2014
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nunopenim:

I manipulated the phone because the screen changes. But I do not believe in coincidences lol . cm11-4.4.4 took 3 hours and goes well . ¿ Cm11-4.4.4 be anti shorts ?:p I wanted to have 6.0.1:crying: Any indication is grateful.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nunopenim:
Its not a coincidence :/ maybe you shorted something or connected something wrong. CM11 is older, not updated, so maybe doesnt use some module CM13 already supports. Does stock behave weird?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] papawoman:
And I do not know what else to work. This will be stupid to tell you more but not seen . When installing 4.4.4 , 2 years ago , I installed busybox . The flash rom that I have this installed terminal emulator for android. The question is whether the binaries installed busybox have not been cleared or may affect .

Sorry my bad english, sorry my stupid question.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nunopenim:
Dont be sorry, you are here to learn :) and to make things clear, you dont need to install busybox with CM11, it comes from "factory". But with CM13 you do need to install, and thats lame, because you need to install it again every time you update. If you do System wipe, or flash new rom, busybox is deleted. So busybox is not a problem :)

Have you tried any apps, such as YouTube, and noticed the rotation isn't working in the latest build or is it just me? If it's just me, I'll do another clean install tomorrow.

Edit: After posting, I had another random shutdown/non responsive period and after manualy rebooting, rotation has started working, after a week of not functioning at all, as someone mentioned earlier.

For flash with odin can not be .zip

You need to extract stock rom zip and then you will get .tar.md5 file wich you flash with odin.

What is the baseband you are on? :)

No sim detected when phone is encrypted

Hi,

Thanks for bringing CM13 to the GT I8730, I have discovered that when the phone is encrypted it can't find the sim card , although it works perfectly well unencrypted.

I have experienced the problem with the following roms cm-13.0-20160321-UNOFFICIAL-expressltexx.zip and

cm-13.0-20160315-UNOFFICIAL-expressltexx.zip. and twrp 3.0

After browsing the cyanogenmod forum I have seen other phone users having reported the same issue, eg Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.

I tested CM13 for my GS2 version cm-13.0-20160318-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and that one works with encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nunopenim:
Encrypted phone? Like the security option that makes you wait hours? Well, i never tested that, but SIM is detected on this new update.

Also [MENTION=5344004]kotzir[/MENTION] , rom runs smoothly, no problem, nothing :) Thanks for great job
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] EJT01:
Yes, for security reasons, boot takes some additional time but that is ok. The sim card when the phone is encrypted is not detected, so it is bug or a feature not implemented ? It works in CM 12.1 for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nunopenim:
Maybe its a bug, since CM13 is more stable than CM12.1

I face the same issue, however if you try rebooting the phone twice/thrice, then the sim card is detected. Also sometimes if you toggle the flight on/off mode, the sim card is detected. This may not be a foolproof solution, but does work for me. Hope this helps.

Can anybody tell me the benefits of the custom kernel? I just flashed kotzir's roms for the last few month but never considered using the kernel as i did not know anything about it. I would also enjoy some inside on why the 01.04 release crashed the playstore. - Sry i am very curious - i like to learn ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nunopenim:
The custom kernel is good if you know how to work with it. How can I explain this better... You need a 3rd party app to manage it. Here we use Kernel Adiutor, but you can use Kernel Toolkit, Kernel blah blah (they have lots of names). It mostly will increase performance over stock kernel, but if you dont manage it, you will get super boost in performance, but your battery wont last that long :) enjoy, kotzir's roms are excellent.
