I'm working on the Galaxy Alpha (S801) which is my current main device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-1-unofficial-galaxy-t3230946
I also have the Galaxy S4 LTE-A as my second or third device.
S4 LTE-A is very similar to Alpha (S801), so I tried to port CM13.0.

For me LTE and mms don't work. Can only work with weak 3G. Anybody got the same?

So you're telling me, out of NOWHERE the source code filled with 100+ files were uploaded 20+ days ago with no history of where it came from? Not to mention, the commits seem awfully too similar to the works of others through gerrit. It's disappointing to see things like this being posted on XDA and you still have the cheek to put source code which is not well documented. Bravo

10/10 would Kang again.
Please forum members. Don't do this. Give proper credits and proper documentation. This is an open source community and we expect proper documentation

My GT-9506 porting work is derived from Samsung stock kernel source code and the official CM source tree of ks01lte/hlte/klte and my sltecan work. Unfortunately, the official ks01lte is not so stable for me. So, I tried to port by myself.

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

Many devices are architecturally similar to other devices that are already on the market and have existing CM ports. When a new device comes out, see if you can find out if it may be identical to another device, only with a different sized screen or more memory or some other minor difference. If you find an "ancestor" or "sibling" of your device, much of the work may already be done for you!

I credited to CyanogenMod team implicitly. I don't understand what is the problem?

Edited:
For initial bringing up of the Galaxy Alpha (sltecan), I investigated the existing CM ports (klte/ks01lte/hlte) and I found the Samsung Snapdragon 800/801 devices are sibling.
Because I have an experience of the bringing up of the Galaxy Alpha (sltecan), the porting of ks01lte based on the existing CM works is not hard. My ks01lte porting is mainly based on hlte with the latest Samsung Lollipop kernel and blobs. For using the Lollipop blobs, klte and ks01lte are good reference.
I deeply acknowledge and thank the existing CM works (klte/ks01lte/hlte).

 

[kyasu]

Ok.
My ks01lte CM12.1 port utilized Samsung Lollipop kernel and blobs. This is different from other ports. I enjoyed it without publishing.
After I ported My Alpha (sltecan) from CM12.1 to CM13.0, I also ported My ks01lte from CM12.1 to CM13.0 in the exactly same way.
I think the ks01lte CM13.0 is useful for others, I decided to publish it.

LTE and mms works for me.
Please make sure that your GT-I9506 has the Lollipop bootloader and modem (The last installed stock ROM must be 5.0.1).

cm13 is awesome, blazing fast. Few fc's but thanks for this experience. This rom has true added value for our obscolent device.

I wouldn't listen much to people saying you copied stuff. As far as i can see (and everyone else on this forum), this is the only cm13 rom available. So you basically it's impossible to rip something from another cm13 rom.

Let jealous people talk, you are doing a great job. Thanks for your effort.

 

[superpulosu]

@kyasu, thanks. Its working very well. Some mistakes in the spanish translation and some strings are still in english, but the rom its very smooth. Instaled without problem with nano open gapps. I am still testing...

 

[karkasss]

No vibration when touching hardware keys(menu/back) for both of cm12.1 /cm13 in my e330. Anybody who has same phenomenon or only happened to me?

Edit: long press is vibration working but short press is not vibrated

Please provide more feedback about this ROM, how stable can it be as daily driver?

This rom is already my daily driver.
At least, the following functions are tested and worked:

• WiFi
• 3G
• LTE
• 3G Calling
• VoIP
• WiFi Tethering
• Bluetooth
• Camera
• Video Recording
• Sound
• Ok Google
• Sensors
• Compass
• GPS
• NFC
• SD Card
• USB OTG

For using MTP in M, every time you have to tap and select MTP.
And you have to install Google Apps for M. I'm using Open GApps (micro).
