SuperSU Root & TWRP Recovery (XT1096)

Thanks in advance for any information/guidance provided! Please bear w/ me, I am pretty new to all of this. I apologize for any incorrectly used terminology.

I have a Verizon Moto X 2014 (XT1096) that I have recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted via SuperSU and TWRP Recovery. When I opened SuperSU, I got an error message stating that I needed to update the binary, but it was unable to be done OTA. I used TWRP to sideload the binary zip file onto the phone's internal storage, which seemed to work fine.

Using the same method, I moved CM13 (01/14/16 nightly build) to the internal storage and followed the remaining steps in the process.

Jump ahead a few days (phone seems to be working great & am running on T-Mobile LTE perfectly) and now I have a few questions:

1. Is my phone for all intents and purposes, considered Pure Edition since I have unlocked BL and rooted the phone?
2. I can download nightly updates, but when I try to install them, the phone reboots/does not install the build.. How can I download and install the updates OTA?
3. Is it necessary for me to keep the TWRP recovery/backup zip file on my phone's internal storage? (wondering b/c phone is ony 16 gb and the backup used a large amount of available storage)
4. Is there any way for me to have stock Marshmallow on this phone instead of CM?

Thanks again and sorry for the likely horrible explanation.

[XT1096] Running CM 13, can I get the Moto style ambient display icons back?

I just unlocked the bootloader on my VZW Moto X and installed CM 13 (1/26 nightly) on it. While CM does still retain the active display functionality where you wave your hand over the device and it shows time/notifications, it is not exactly the same as the stock Moto style. With the stock Moto firmware when you wave your hand over it shows the time and up to 3 notifications in small round circles with just the notification icon, no text. Now, in CM, I can still wave my hand over the phone to get the screen to turn on, but it is black & white and shows the notifications in rows with preview text.

Can I get those circles back? I much prefer that than the full text of the notification showing up every time a message comes in, or I wave my hand over the phone. It's a bit of a privacy/security issue.

Thanks for any help!
