Feel free to ask me about any questions about CM and the whole rooting / ROM process, I've been using it since version 6.1 on the HTC G1 and have use every variant up to CM11 now (on an Xperia Z1) so there is very little that I have not experienced with it

You're the man so AdvertsFox. I hereby propose that you be promoted to chief cook and bottle washer on this here CM forum providing you can answer at least 3 of the following questions correctly in language a layman like myself can understand :P
1. Is there an ability to set quiet times on CM? On Samsung's version of 4.3. there was a setting which allowed you to turn off all sound and notifications from Xpm to Yam plus you could whitelist people who's calls/texts you did want to take during the quiet period. Anything like that on CM 10.2?
2. I have a Note 2 and I see there is a recent CM 11 nightly build. Good idea / bad idea to go from stable 10.2 to nightly 11? I looked for a changelog / features list Vs 10.2 but can't find anything.
3. What is the recommended process for flashing nightlies with minimum fuss whilst retaining all your apps, all your app data (including text messages etc) and your launcher settings? When I was regularly flashing ROMs a few years ago I used Titanium Backup. Is that still the way to go?
4. In CWM Recovery I have an option to do what I believe is referred to as a Nandroid backup. I'm offered options to "backup to /sdcard" and "backup to /storage/sdcard1". Which of the two options refers to the 32GB external micro SDHC card I have installed? I'm thinking it's "backup to /storage/sdcard1" but that's just a guess.

Thanks, it's there all right but it doesn't affect incoming calls, they still ring through normallycheck Settings->Sounds->Automation & Effects and just below that there is "Quiet hours". I'm not sure about CM10.2 as I have CM11
The ability to screen out all calls except those from (for example) close family/friends was a nice feature in the Samsung implementation of this idea.

Change the option under 'Phone ringer'. There are various options under there.0 -

Hi. Is everything working at this stage on the Z1 in CM11 ?
I had a Z1 for a few months, and never put CM on it as there were issues with the camera early on.
I sold on the Z1 and am now back to CM11 on my Droid Razr.
It's a Verizon phone, but there's a patch which can be auto installed after cyanogenmod which sets it up with GSM by default, and everything works as it should. I liked the Z1, but hated the Sony custom UI. Compromise now is a really slim phone in my pocket with a 4.3" screen and great battery life on latest android, and a Nexus 7 for when I really need a bit of a bigger screen.
First time I used Cyanogenmod was back in CM6 on a Galaxy Spica.
I still have it, battery life is much better than it ever was on stock and it gets used as a hotspot in the car. I just think of it as a Mifi device with benefits such as checking mail and browsing if I'm stuck.
Read up on your device before jumping in to putting cyanogenmod on it.
You may have to put up with not being able to record Video, having odd wifi behaviour, or not having HDMI output (quite common) for a while until the phone gets well established. HDMI output often will never arrive if it requires a binary driver. On the plus side, your phone/tablet is likely to be noticeably faster and have much better battery life.
Another device I use cyanogenmod on is my trusty Nook Color.
It was released in late 2010, and was only ever meant to be used as an ebook reader. Cyanogenmod turned it into a full android tablet, added bluetooth support and at this stage I'm running a stable CM10.2 (Android 4.3), and testing the odd CM11 build. I hope when a good 4.4 comes out it will be even better as the memory footprint is smaller. This is fantastic support for a device nearly four years old!0 -
Yes, Settings > Sounds > Quiet Hours > There's a heading for Phone Ringer in which you can set it to ring only for your favourite contacts. Most likely you have favourites setup already, if not it's easily done in Gmail or your dialler.1. Is there an ability to set quiet times on CM? On Samsung's version of 4.3. there was a setting which allowed you to turn off all sound and notifications from Xpm to Yam plus you could whitelist people who's calls/texts you did want to take during the quiet period. Anything like that on CM 10.2?
All changes in current nightly builds can be found from the link below (codename is N7100). CM11 is very stable at the moment so do an Nadroid backup and give it a go.2. I have a Note 2 and I see there is a recent CM 11 nightly build. Good idea / bad idea to go from stable 10.2 to nightly 11? I looked for a changelog / features list Vs 10.2 but can't find anything.

It's quite simple these days. You can check and install your updates from the About menu in Settings. It can be checked daily / weekly / monthly and a tap will reboot, install the update and come back online without any loss of data / preferences. Of course though, just in case, make an Nandroid backup from CWM or TWRP or from ROM Manager (on the Play Store). There's also a new app by Koushik (creator of ROM Manager, CM developer) called Helium (formally Carbon) that backs up your app preferences etc. to Google Drive - Desktop | Android3. What is the recommended process for flashing nightlies with minimum fuss whilst retaining all your apps, all your app data (including text messages etc) and your launcher settings? When I was regularly flashing ROMs a few years ago I used Titanium Backup. Is that still the way to go?
Could be that they are the same path (one of which is just virtualised) or else /sdcard is your internal storage. I would go with /storage/sdcard1 since the 1 indicates it's secondary to just /sdcard (and that's the default behaviour when you use a Micro SD card) just to be safe. Alternatively, use an app like Astro File Manager or the CM File Manager to browse to each path and compared the contents or even easier - take out the SD card and see which path remains.4. In CWM Recovery I have an option to do what I believe is referred to as a Nandroid backup. I'm offered options to "backup to /sdcard" and "backup to /storage/sdcard1". Which of the two options refers to the 32GB external micro SDHC card I have installed? I'm thinking it's "backup to /storage/sdcard1" but that's just a guess.0 -

When I've my s2 linked via usb to the pc all goes well until it tries installing drivers then CM tells me it cannot read my phone and says try either new usb port/cable or reboot pc, even though it seen it previously during the setup.
Tries all the suggestions it made but it simply won't go any further for me.0 -

Are you referring to the CM Installer process? There's a big section Samsung connection issues, it's usually driver related.hallo dare wrote: »When I've my s2 linked via usb to the pc all goes well until it tries installing drivers then CM tells me it cannot read my phone and says try either new usb port/cable or reboot pc, even though it seen it previously during the setup.
