There is no tutorial for "constant pH" simulations specifically, though it
is not much different than other implicit solvent simulations

I would not minimize just the hydrogens. The hydrogen distances won't
change due to SHAKE, so I don't think you gain much by this step.

This seems to me to be the only minimization you really need. It doesn't
need to be long, either, since it's just relaxing bad contacts. You may
also add restraints to the backbone atoms to prevent any kind of major
distortion of secondary structure.

You certainly need to heat. And apply restraints to the backbone atoms like
I've suggested, most likely. I have, on occasion, seen the entire protein
unravel during heating, though that could be due to a couple bugs that were
patched up in the constant pH code (make sure you apply all of these bug
fixes! 47 for amber9 and 25 for amber10). In any case, I think it's a good
idea to apply some restraints to the backbone while you're heating and
equilibrating.

You can take off all restraints here and just run freely.
Good luck!
