[Verizon] [ROM]JDX (formerly Jelly Belly) AOSP+ - v15 (7/28)

Battery life is notoriously terrible on Jelly Bean. Of all the ROMs and kernels I've tried since JB, I haven't had one come close to what I used to get on ICS with AOKP + LeanKernel. If you're really serious about battery life, start disabling things like Google Now that are always checking for things to show you. Turn off sync for whatever you don't need (or at least slow down the sync frequency).
I'd 100% agree. Google Now has been the biggest culprit for poor battery life on my device, as I've tested to verify numerous times. Limiting the amount of synced services helps, but wooo, GNow causes an insane amount of wakelocks and CPU awake time, while just sitting overnight.

Upgraded to 10.0 with job radios and now it takes forever to get hips lock. Should I re flash ROM or radios? Thanks fort the help!

You can also try clearing data from the Maps app in your settings and then try again. In addition, some people have had good luck with GPS Status app from GPlay.
Good luck!

Doing my first mod now. Until now I have only flashes the rom and gapps Any tips before I start? Thank you.

Personally whenever adding a mod or a change to this ROM, I boot to recovery, wipe dalvik, install mods, wipe dalvik and then Fix Permissions. Then reboot.
If the mod took.. Then you are golden. If there are issues you can go back to recovery wipe dalvik, wipe cache then install the rom and Gapps again... Reboot.
Start again with a different mod.

Also, I would recommend that everyone is updated on their CWM recovery and TWRP versions... Since 4.2 changed the file systems around... Just please verify you are running the most current versions!

What is the difference between 180 and 230 and which are you using. Thank you.

It refers to the lowest clock speed you can set the phone to. There are various clock slots. On stock kernel the lowest clock speed is 350. Some people like it lower and with Lean Kernel this is possible.:)

I am using 5.0.0exp1-230.:)
