Installation instruction
If you're coming from stock ROM or want to have clean install:
1. Boot to recovery (i recommend to use TWRP)
2. Format /system, /data, /cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash ROM and then flash gapps (but remember - you have to install gapps before first boot of the system - otherwise they won't work properly!)
4. Reboot to system and voilà - you have installed CM13 and gapps :)

If you're coming from CM12.1 and want to keep your installed apps and settings:
1. Boot to recovery (i recommend to use TWRP)
2. Format /system, /cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash ROM and then flash gapps (but remember - you have to install gapps before first boot of the system - otherwise they won't work properly!)
4. Reboot to system and voilà - you have installed CM13 and gapps :)

Wow, not even a month we already have marshmallow with our device ! Keep it up sombree, ur the best !

I'd love to try it but if I flash it, can I flash CM12.1 back ? And do I have to factory reset before updating ? Or downgrading if it's possible ?

I think yes - i've tried to make call and had no problem with that. Still you may test by yourself :)

Is this rom work for s4 19505:what:
No, this rom is for i9515 - not i9505!

Make backup of current rom; wipe everything and install this. Yes, you can flash back to CM12.1 - you'll have to wipe everything again. Or you can simply bring up backup of CM12.1 that you've made before installation of CM13 - then there is no need to wipe anything :)

So anyone tried it? Can it be used as daily driver?
You can try by yourself and tell us :D

isnt your apps reinstall automatically? for me it worked when a factory reset on cm12.1. i dont know if it is a CM thing or a google account thing. Nevertheless its amazing.

Keeps Boot-Looping

Hi, I just installed the cm13 update. TWRP told me , that installation was sucessfull.
But after wipeing cache it keeps boot-looping

Additional Information:

TWRP reminded me, that the device seems to be unrooted and asked, if I want to root it.
I press yes and the installation log appeard for 0.5 sec and then my gt-i9515 rebootet into boot-loop again

EDIT::::::

Installtion worked with doing a factory reset first
