ACIP 10.1 stable, are NIGHTLIES & TWRP needed, OTA & how to swap? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Help with answers please, I can not ask in the AICP Dev Nightlies Forum .
I have Sprint GS3 and have installed [ROM] [ d2spr ] AICP - 10.0 - LP 5.1.1_r6. Stable build from July 7 2015.
The Rom is notifying me that there are 34 nightlies available for OTA updates. I read in the DEV Forum that I can accept them straight OTA without problems if I swap my recovery from CWM to TWRP.
1. Are the nightlies something that will fix a bug or feature and if applied will still leave the Rom basically stable or is this something I can read what the update is for?
2. will the OTA wipe my installed programs causing me to go through re-setup on each Playstore app i have installed?
3. In the forum they stated that we should not use titanium backup to install after flashing the Rom when we upgrade from stock Rom to AICP, would it be Basically OK to use it after running the original AICP after an OTA update, if it wipes playstore apps/programs?
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy 3 L710 is running great on the AICP 10.0 , as a matter of fact it runs so well if I am able to find a better camera to install I may continue to use this for another year. I am a very heavy power user and was just about to upgrade to a Note 5 but have changed my mind due to no external sd card and no external battery.
I sincerely appreciate any and all help anyone can provide,
Tim

Hello smedzz.
Your device only has experimental and nightlies for Cyanogenmod, with no RC or stable ROMs available. The problem you are experiencing sounds a lot like the problem I had with Cyanogenmod 9.0 for my Samsung Galaxy S i9000. It was a release Candidate (RC), and slightly unstable, and hung up on the boot graphic occasionally. The only way to fix it was to flash the phone again (my experience).
If that sounds like a pain, you could look for a different ROM in the Developer section of the forums for the a700. The "iconiaN 2.6" ROM, based on Jelly Bean 4.1.1, sounds good. At least it would get your tablet working again.

Did you wipe?

[Q] which rom. help please

I have a rooted n5110 4.2.2 note 8.0
first of all I'm not a noob. However I have been spoiled. Up till nowi have had Motorola decices that have great apps like rom manager and team black hat leaks to help you decide what roms to flash.
I'm at a loss when it comes to all the options in this forum. I see some roms based on 4.2.2; 4.3 and isn't CM 11.0 based on 4.4? If I flash a 4.3 rom and dont like it cani flash a 4.2 rom or restore a backup to get 4.2.2 back? That was a big no no wirh moto devices. Once you upgraded you had to stay less you got a hold of the spf file.
Ive looked into both PAC rom and CM rom: the stable and nightly versions of both. I know nightlies may be unstable so I would stay away from them less it is easy to flash back to a 4.2.2 stable release. And downloaded the right gapps package. Why cant developers just included that in the roms?
So a bit of help please. What are the differences between the 4.2.2; 4.3 and is CM 11 based on 4.0?
I also use twrp as a recovery but have used cwm in the past. I habe both onmy sdcard in case of trouble.
any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Come on....anybody?

Cyanogenmod Rom Request

I have a sprint galaxy s3 SPHL710PUDND8 and cannot get any of them to install it and I went rummaging through the installer scripts and realized they worked for every model but mine. I added my phone model to the list (I know maybe not the best idea) and it aborted the installation and refused to do anything. So my question is, is there anything else I can do to the Rom I currently have to get it to work or is there a specific version of CM I need to get? I am currently updated to the latest 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sprint and have Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.5 installed.
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte
I would suggest the Snapshot M12 as that will be the most stable over the nightlies.
Thanks but I am currently using the latest nightly. I saw this already on YouTube an hour after I posted this. But thanks anyway. I'll leave this up for anyone else who may have this problem.

[Q] New to E980 - Flashing advice needed

Hi Experts,
I have a new-to-me E980. I am not a stranger to flashing. However, I am confused by the various posts as to what is best at this present time. My goal is to have a current recovery and some sort of stable Cyanogen based rom that has the Privacy Tool built-in so I can block certain apps from being able to read text messages, etc.
Currently I have rooted the phone and used FreeGee to install TWRP 2.6.3.3
Questions:
1a - Is this version of TWRP 2.6.3.3 lokified? Do I still need to be concerned about that?
1b - I see there is another version of twrp available in the 2.8 range. Do I need to upgrade to that one?
2 - Do I still need to use madmack's modem for deep sleep? I see some comments saying it doesn't matter now.
3 - I see there are some newer roms out there even base don Lollipop. I am looking for one that is stable, and has good battery life. I do not care if it is jelly bean, kitkat, or lollipop based. (This is for my wife. I can't keep flashing it all the time. She will kill me. )
Thanks for your help!
