Thank's.

Dirty flash, only update the room, no wipes, no need to flash gapps again. All working great.

With the sdcard formated as internal storage, we need to migrate the data from internal storage (4.65gb) to use it. Now the sdcard is ready to use and is named storage/emulated/0.

All the downloads, downloaded apps, pictures, movies, etc will be placed in new write/read partition. It works great with the system. The only issue is that when i enter in recovery mode, twrp don't recognise it as internal storage and don't display the .zip files placed in sdcard in order to install it.

Twrp can do a nandroid backup to sdcard but when i go to restore the backup it force closes.

I think twrp it's not prepared to handle with this new feature in cm13, maybe it need some new patches, an update. :)

Until now i'm using a pendrive with an otg cable to update the ROM and it's working fine.

Thank's kotzir and jek for all your hard work.

Hello friends, thank you for the great work they do, you will see,

I installed the -20151202- and looks good, but does not recognize the SIM card.

But I see that there is already a new version so I'll try to see if it is solved, a greeting, and said, thank you for the great work they do.

Well, if the version 2015.12.13 recognizes the sim me, doing very well, but sometimes it just restarts without being using it, and also noted that heats rather than the CM12, but more worrying is the battery consumption only I happen to me? I'm using the same apps as long as I've gone from one day recharge 2 or 3.

Distorted voice input/output during network voice call

I have a GT-I8730 with a baseband I8730XWAMB7 and the stock build ID JZO54K.I8730XWAMB8 (as reported now by the status screen). With every single CM release posted here on XDA (cm11, cm12, and now I tried the latest cm13 build too), I get distorted voice during calls via the phone network. This seems to affect both the ear piece/speaker and the mic; people I called described my voice as sounding far away and distorted, and any voice coming out of the ear piece (or speaker, or headset) is distorted – robotic, choppy, completely unnatural.

I followed the flashing instructions to the letter (wiped, used TWRP for flashing) but the problem doesn't go away. After restoring the stock ROM (rooted) from a backup, the mic becomes usable again.

Because the issue occurs with any output method (line-out, built-in speaker, ear piece) and with any cm build so far, I keep wondering if I'm the only one affected by this issue? SIP calls work fine, so I suspect there is some issue with the baseband? Could I perhaps change something about how I flash the ROM (e.g. exclude the modem part if there is any)?

This one problem is the one and only issue I have with pretty much all of the builds, otherwise the phone worked perfectly (including 3G/4G data connectivity) – so thanks for your hard work in any case!
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] .m.123:
Thanks for your advice. I will do a clean install with TWRP 3.0.1.0 and latest ROM in the next days.

First of all, let me thank the OP and everyone else who have made this possible.

I came here looking to refresh my mother's GT-i8730 and give it a nice and clean, bloatware free OS.

I first flashed the CM12.1 but I soon found it to be a bit buggy for everyday use (the Camera was always FC'ing and the Audio was awfully robotic and distorted).

So I now turn to the CM13, which I read had less bugs. Problem is, I can´t get past the CM logo upon booting.

I always Wipe system, data, dalvik and cache and I've tried it with TWRP versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1 and 3.0.2, two different OpenGapps packages, with and without custom kernel (after flashing the ROM obvs.), just flashing the ROM with no OpenGapps or kernel.

I have no clue what I'm missing. (although I only tried version 20160505)

Cheers from Portugal :)

----------------------------------

UPDATE:

Just tried reverting to the latest CM12.1 (that worked for me before) but I get stuck on the CM logo.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] cd716:
To stop the distortion and robotic Voice in calls and audio/video apps you have to change your baseband to xwamk1, because there is a incompatibality with some basebands and The ROM.

I recomend you download and flash the ROM version 20160430 and wait a litle bit since it takes a few more minuts in the first boot :)

Buddy, good afternoon, and I am portuguese as well. Right now the 20160505 build is buggy on our phones, due to a new HAL audio introduction. Try using a different build. Wipe data, cache, system, dalvik. Flash it. Boot up and connect to the charger. Wait a bit, it will take a while until something appears. Something like "Android is Upgrading, optimising app X of Y". Then it should boot up properly :) Booting your phone is like making pancakes: the first one takes long and is always f*cked up :P Cheers mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] cd716:

I would change the baseband but I can't even boot the CM12.1 now. I know the 1st boot takes time but i've waited about half an hour and its still showing the logo when it should be showing that box counting down the number of upgrades left.

Like i've told [MENTION=6575747]cd716[/MENTION] just now. Its definitely taking too long too boot (~30mins and still nothing). When I first flashed CM12.1 the upgrade box showed up in about 1 minute, and then yes, it took its time upgrading all the apps, but now its just showing the blue CM head and it just sits there, telling me I'm a noob...
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] cd716:
Try pull out the battery for 30 seconds, then put back the battery, enter in recovery mode and wipe cache, data and Dalvik cache. Then reboot to system
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] lobuh:
I had taken the battery since I last posted so I had that covered. Did the wipes and its been 20mins since its showing the blue CM head pulsing.

Should I have flashed again and not just wipe? Last flash I did was the CM12.1 btw.

I'm seriously getting to a point where frustration meets anger. :crying:

------------------------

UPDATE

HOLY CREPE! I got it too boot again in CM12.1!

- Reverted Data and cache to ext4

- Wipe data, dalvik, system and cache (and not the internal storage)

- Flashed only the CM12.1 with no gapps or custom kernel

now, what should I do?

Stick with it and Flash the 5.1 gapps plus baseband xwamk1?

or

Try and flash the Flash CM13 (the version before the latest)?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] cd716:
Nice to hear that.[emoji2]

Cm12.1 is not updated since last December, so why not give one more try to cm13?

But in 2 options you have to flash the baseband to stop the audio issues.

Has anyone tried the latest build to tell me the different cases [if there are any (clean install recommended)] where speaker or mic is not working? Check with headphones, and without. Any tester to help solve the any issues for the new HAL?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] lobuh:
Well, F me.

Went to try CM13 (the april version) again and now I'm back to being stuck.

Wtf am I doing wrong!?

----—----

Update : went back to CM12.1. I really don't know what am I missing here.

Do I need to have f2fs data and cache for CM13? I've tried with and without and still nothing.

Only thing I haven't done was changing to f2fs and solely flash the CM13 with no gapps.

Last time I flashed CM13 I was coming from CM12.1, ext4, clean install (wiped dalvik, sytem, data and cache and then flashed both 13 and micro opens gapps, left it for over an hour and didn't reach the apps upgrading box.

wiped again and tried just the 13,same thing.

Went back to 12 and it took like 3mins to start upgrading apps...

Problem with mobile network

HI, I recently downloaded and installed CM13 on a retired GT-I8730. Installation went smooth and everything seemed to work fine. However it turns out that when not having wifi (only using mobile-data) I'm not able to to send messages via Hangouts (but receive is ok) or browse the internet. To my surprise, downloading and updating apps on Google Play is working fine.

I had another retired phone (samsung S2) that I installed CM13 to as well. To my disappointment it has the exact same behavior!

I was using different sim-cards in the two phones, so it seems the problem is related to CM13 in general or I'm missing something obvious.

Does anyone have a clue what is wrong?
