--------------------------------------
Troubleshooting
--------------------------------------
SD Card:
- Several users had to format their SD card after flashing this rom by using the built in format-tool which is offered after setting up the device checking the notification bar.
Camera App:
- cm13 stock camera app does not work with zoom, and video quality is bad. We advise you use the camera app of your choice which should fix any poor quality
- other camera apps like open camera has also no zoom functionality
Smart Key
- While Smart Key is an emui feature, it's not present in cm13. You can add and even enhance this feature using the xposed additions app to add functions to any key with rules when and what to act.
You will need to "Allow External Devices" Option with "Miscellaneous" checked
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb
EMUI Features
- Since this is cyanogenmod and not emui, most of the emui specific features such as telephone cleaner, multi-window, knuckle-screenshot, screenshot-video-recording, huawai backup, permission master, etc. - you might love or hate are not available in this rom. with cyanogenmod you get the vanilla android experience, it is smooth and very stable, and up to the closest possible rom getting the original android experience...
- A few features can still be used, such as smart key, most of them rely on having xposed modules
--------------------------------------
EMUI - Comparable Features on CM13
--------------------------------------
Smart Key
--------------------------------------
Other known issues
--------------------------------------
- ADB Device shown as "offline" for a few users (Maybe related to xposed?)
- Recharging Phone when "Off" automatically Boots to Recovery
- Apps which rely on Camera Core also have distorted colors on video
- IRsensor is not working

there is no such function in vanilla cm13, in most countries at least in europe call recording is against the law anyhow. that's why you don't find this feature on any stock rom.
if you want cm13 and still insist having this feature, you may add this feature with xposed ...
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.enablecmcallrec
( i haven't tried it though )

Or you can just install ACR app.
"Call Recorder - ACR" (com.nll.acr) from Google Play works for me.

I think that the fact that swipe-fingerprint-scanner-to-open-notification-shade-gesture is missing is worth mentioning. I, personally, really loved this gesture.

I found a xposed module that should handle this - couldn't get working this fingerprint gesture. But the tap-on-sensor-to-go-back is working !
The module is called "Fingerprint Quick Action"

i have tried that one, i think the version u get from xposed 0.10 is nowhere near the function from emui... swiping the finger print as well as tapping almost didn't work at all. i almost never got any response at all.

@endrancer
THX! Good job well done!
but i have 4 questions:
1.) isn’t it necessary and recommanded to delete saved fingerprints before doing a factory reset and flashing the CM13 rom? @papsi has written about that at his web-side!
2.) Not only TWRP 3.0.2 should work, @papsi177 has recommanded TWRP 2.8.7.0 of smiki at his page!
Is it possible to use it too?
3.) @papsi177 recommand to do factory wipe in TWRP only! Not with the EMUI function. Is it absolutely necessary to do in TWRP?
4.) as @papsi177 has written, it is suggested to remove sim pin code in front of flashing his rom! Did you forgot to add this suggestion?
Edit: corrected some facts and added question 3.&4

Last one works fine (v87).
You have to flash zip from twrp, and then install apk to download modules

Is it possible to get double tap to wake work? Setting is on but it doesn't work. Double tap to sleep is working.

i'm not the rom author, i am just providing the summery page and trying to keep all informations we gather in one neat place so if we confirm other versions of twrp work as well i'll happily update it, so keep informations flowing and i'll edit as i have already done a few times.

I installed APK first, it's prompting you to install via twrp, which you can also do that way.

Buddy I know! "Good job" i wrote, because you have made this thread!
anyway....
after reading @papsi177 webpage, i recommand to complete your tutorial with the following points:
1.) Please delete all saved fingerprints before installing this rom!
2.) Do the factory wipe only inside of TWRP!
3.) Remove the sim pin before you install this rom!
