yes, i have installed CM13 (Android6.01) on Samsung GT-I8730, works like a charm(good work developers!). now my question is : will there be a newer release with Android 7.0(Nougat) for my smartphone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] JPT223:
Hey guys.

Since my Express is broken, I've got a an S3 Neo (I9301I). Hardware is great, but the Samsung firmware sucks. At least it's security patch level 2016-06-01.

so... this is a good bye. I am going to miss the Express community. Thank you very much to Kotzir and all other people around here for your work, your help and your patience.

If you are wondering what's the status of my projects I asked so many questions for, well:

I finally was able to build CM13 myself but never flashed one of my builds...

System Profiles code: Got contact to someone who is working on it at CM... but did not really get into coding yet.

So, continue the great work and maybe we'll meet again somewhere in the cyberspace :o)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] eordetxl:

Early pre Alpha build Android Nougat is available here

Video preview from my Ace 3:

[YOUTUBE]RbGXRrXG6Wg[/YOUTUBE]

Note 0: Backup before proceeding

Note 1: Flash the ROM, and Gapps. Don't reboot after the installation. In TWRP go to mounts and mount system. Then go to TWRP file manager in /system/priv-app/CyanogenSetupWizard and delete it, because otherwise you will get crashes.

Note 2: On install there is no browser and CMFileManager can't access ExtSDCard, so download other alternatives from playstore.

Note 3: OpenGapps pico is recommended

Note 4: All the wipes are required

Note 5: All basic functionality works, including RIL, camera(photos), wifi

Note 6: Expect other bugs and malfunctions.

Known Issue: Video recording not working

Note 7: Let me know if it boots/works please.

Be dure you have recovery twrp 2.8.7.0

You can try to wipe dalvik cash and cash

Install the latest ROM and install open gapps

You don't lose your settings and the ROM

Will be working if not you can try this

Go settings apps up in the right you see tree dots on that you have the option apps default reset. After that reboot and it have to work. Let me know if that is the solution

TWRP with support for f2fs filesystems, get it from here

Flash with Odin, or extract the recovery.img and flash it with apps like flashify, or with the TWRP you already have.

Warning: Do not try to convert the current filesystem to f2fs, because ROM does not support it yet. It will be supported from the next build.

Edit: It will not work probably, because I forgot to add f2fs support in kernel due to my hurry.

After many times trying to extract the recovery image from the .tar file, without success, i have flashed in Odin with success.

I don't see any option to convert the file system to f2fs.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kotzir:
Excuse me for being mistaken, but with all of this amount of supported devices, I forgot to enable f2fs on kernel defconfig, thus twrp with f2fs was needed to be rebuilt. So I did. You will find the fixed TWRP here

Note: If you want to extract it you will have to remove the ".md5" from file association, leaving only the ".tar"
