From CM11 or CM12: simply download ROM zip and gapps, then Flash From other ROM:
download ROM and gapps
Reboot to recovery
Format /system, /data (data content will be lost, but should not impact /data/media), /cache and wipe dalvik-cache.
==> this is for CWM, on TWRP, better use the factory-reset option.
Sideload from Computer or install from storage depending on where the download was completed)
wait
Reboot
wait (may take more than 3 minutes)
enjoy!

[SIZE=+1]Q2: How to get root?[/SIZE]
Enable Dev settings (multiple tap on "Build Number" in /settings/about phone/)
Go to Dev settings
Root access : Change to Apps and ADB
[SIZE=+1]Q3: Where is the Terminal?[/SIZE]
It is now disabled by default, simple enable it in Dev Settings by toggling "Local Terminal"
[SIZE=+1]Q4: What's that # at the to right corner of my screen sometimes?[/SIZE]
This icon warns you that an app or service is currently using its granted root access, maybe your file manager or some automated actions like Greenify auto hibernate is running (in the background?)
[SIZE=+1]Q5: How to set SELinux state to Permissive?[/SIZE]
Paste it to /etc/init.d, set permissions to -rwxr-xr-x and edit extension to .sh to file manager can execute
Execute the script manually at each boot if your SELinux state is anything above Permissive (init.d scripts are not granted SU rights when in Enforcing mode).
[SIZE=+1]Q9: Why do i get screen flickering (until i turn off/ON screen) and how to get rid of it? (nightlies 20150315-->20150324)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Q10: Why does the installation abort? (nightly 20150324+)[/SIZE]
If the error message you are facing is the following,
Code:
this package support bootloader(s): 0x4118: this device has bootloader 0x4113.
E: Error in /data/media/0/cmupdater/cm-20140324-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
then The answer involves upgrading your bootloader, be extremely careful.
Follow this short step-by-step guide If for some reason you can't (or don't want to) update your bootloader, then read this post by @wskelly
[SIZE=+1]Q11: How do i report an issue to get some help?[/SIZE]
It says the device model, the Bootloader version, the ROM (the one coming from and the one where the problem occures), and some more informations about the process.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: Why Ambient display and gestures are gone and how to get it back?[/SIZE]
Ambient display and gestures were handled by motodoze which conflicted with Android's way of turning screen On and Off, this application from motorola has its sources closed and thus cannot be modified by CM team to handle the conflict. Motodoze has been nuked (20150903)
But we have a new king to rule the kingdom: AcDisplay !
[SIZE=+1]Q13: Having issues with your partition table?[/SIZE]
When installing CM you may experience being stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally..." mainly if you device was converted to GPe.
This happens because the recovery tries to write a block that exceeds the partition size (/system of the GPe partition table seems to be smaller than the CM one) ==> this also happens when you want to upgrade a MotoE (Condor) from stock 4.4.4 to CM12.1
I'm having issues with the camera. Both the cyanogenmod camera and the good camera aren't taking any pictures. Both apps open and otherwise function properly, but whenever I try to take a picture it just doesn't work: the animation of a taken picture occurs, but then nothing happens. What can I do? This had been a persistent problem for the last couple of nightlies.

if you are talking about keyboard, then, that's a known issue (try to use google keayboard instead, available on playstore), i will try to make a "know issue chart" ASAP but i don't have enough time right now
Initially the camera seems to work. I can reboot and the camera works for a few hours. After a few hours it stops working. It takes a pic and then doesn't save it...This has been the case since the first official nightly.
I'm sure it will get ironed out! So far, working mostly great otherwise!

I just flashed it, and I will try not to reboot for a day or so, 'cause the problem seems to arise after some time, as you said in your post. Right now camera is working well.

Please, i'm having issues with the camera since i was trying to use early versions of CM12 ...
Camera loads up, but when i click to shoot a photo, the picture freezes, and nothing happens. Tried with Google Camera ( and updated version) , with Motorola Camera ( and updated version) and several apps, like Whatsapp,Snapchat,etc...
Anyone knows how to fix that, or a previous version where the camera works?

Sad I've been using version 01.14 of the nightly, and it seems no problem (of that kind at least) on my XT1032.
Devs suggest to use TWRP latest (2.8.some.thing) as custom recovery.
