Noob question about OTA Cyanogenmod update

[debruler]

I unlocked and rooted my first smartphone in January, and installed the latest CM available at the time - one of the Jelly Bean nightlies (10.1.20130122-nightly-toro). This morning, I got an OTA notification from CM that an update is available. When I apply this update, will I have to restore all my apps/data using a saved Titanium backup (which I have), or do CM OTA's work the same as Verizon ones and I can just run it and it will be good to go? I don't want to start the update process here at work if I have to then restore my stuff, because I probably shouldn't be doing that (or this, actually...hahaha) from work. Thanks.

Using CM nightlies as well here. I have not had to re-install any apps after an ota load. All my data would be resynced after logging in to the phone.

I presume that all it does is wipe system/cache/dalvik, no?

After you do the initial CM install, wiping those is totally optional. At least from my experience. I do NOT wipe anything before or during the OTA upgrade.

PS. Speaking of which. Time to update another nightly.
