I think I'm stuck at bootloop...
Installed the recovery from the OP first, backuped my stuff on my pc, started in recovery cwm 6.0.5.1 I think, did a recovery of all and installed it like in the OP but the cyanogenmod logo with the circle is not going away.

EDIT: Installed the recovery through odin again and now it's booting up :)

EDIT 2: Is it only me or is the recorded microphone sound very low?

Thanx.
Unpacked it and got one .img-file. Opened it in IZArc and it's empty. How do I check if it's ok? Or do flashify check it for me?

    This ROM is for the International GT-I8730 ONLY! It is NOT for the SGH-I437! Just because Samsung named them both "Express" does not mean they have identical internal hardware!

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.0 (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    Code: 
    #include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

    Just a notice: I don't have the device, I am a Galaxy Ace 3 LTE owner, but our devices are too similar and I decided to port CM12/12.1 to you
    You can report bugs but you can't expect them to be fixed :)

    @paulwollf asked me to create TWRP recovery for you and I did. Download it from here

    Download version 2.8.5.0 from here

    Download version 2.8.6.0 from here

    Download version 2.8.7.0 from here

    Download version 2.8.7.0 with f2fs support from here

    Download version 3.0.0-0 from here

    Download versio 3.0.1-0 from here

    * As you already know I do not use Galaxy Express and I can't test the recovery, so you flash it at your own risk :) Just extract the recovery.img and flash it with flashify
