I'm having the same sync issues, and I'm running regular gapps, no market theme or anything. That makes me think it's a rom issue.

Edit: as per the note in the first post about the gapps link being down and downloading them from jakeday, which gapps should be used? And how would one go about flashing newer gapps over their existing rom and gapps?

No sync issues, or really, any issues at all on this one. Running Franco's Nightly 335 kernel and it's really a great ROM. I was using Sourcery between Xenon runs and it lags something fierce for me after 24 hours. Sourcery has never sat well on my phone, no matter what.

Everything is running great - awesome ROM!

If I had one thing to complain about, and it's a biggie, it has nothing to do with Xenon. Whatever they did to change the Bluetooth audio on 4.2.1, they should be ashamed of themselves. The music audio is just so bad, it's almost unlistenable. I'm back to using a cord in my car, but I'm on a wireless headset at the gym and it's just terrible. Is Google aware of this? I've seen it brought up before so I know I'm not the only one, but man, it's frustrating. Is there any way to roll back JUST the Bluetooth to 4.1?

Sync issues. Weird zoom effects going on. I don't know what I do, but when I touch the screen in a certain way the entire thing will blow up and I can't shrink it back down to normal size. Think I'm going to go back to AOKP 4.1 until they get to 4.2 Hasn't been a pleasant experience so far unfortunately. Should I try flashing again?

I would try a clean flash and see if that clears things up. I haven't heard of these problems before. Did you clean or dirty flash? What ROM were coming from?

Are you using titanium back up to reinstall. I dont think you want ot reinstall system apps form that because they would be 4.1. rinstall apps from Playstore and just reinstall Data from titanium. Make sure you have the correct 4.2 gapps also.
I am on RC3 with tiny kernel and zero issues. I would wipe and reflash.

I am having some battery issues with XenonHD RC3 12-8-2012. Since I have installed it my battery life is horrible. I have checked CPUSpy and seems like my Nexus is not getting all the deep sleep it needs. I am running the Siedeo 3800 mah extended battery and before RC3 I was on 10-23-2012 version, which was old, but got great battery life on. On RC3 I talking my battery life is down to the 30-40% by 7-8 pm at night, this is with hardly any usage. On the older version I would be around 70%, even with pretty heavy usage.

Anyone else seeing battery life issues on this version?

I have been on this rom for a week without a single issue really. I have the standard stock battery and get all day with medium use with still about 40% battery left. that is unplugged from 8am till like 10 or 11pm. i am using the lean kernal with this rom. don't know if that is what is helping or not just throwing it out there. Love the rom and thanks for the hard work that was put into it.

I normally run Franco's kernel, but switched to Lean when I went to the new version of the ROM and noticed the battery drain. So, I switched back to Franco's and getting the same thing. About to restore back to an old backup and see what happens. I know they are upgrading some of the towers around here and starting to pick up 4G in some spots, so that could be it.

UPDATE: I went back to 10-23-2012 Xenon backup and the battery drain was still there. So, then I switched to just CMDA only (3G) and the battery drain stopped. My phone must be trying to pick up 4G from some of the upgraded towers around here...the signal is so weak it does not show 4G but a fraction of the time, but still must be trying to pick it up and thus there is my battery drain.

just updated to the latest release. A few questions
First time I have done it with TWRP. I booted into recovery, wiped cache and wiped devalic cache. installed rom rebooted and when it came up, I still had all my apps (facebook etc). Was I supposed to wipe something else? lol.....normally I come up to a nice clean install
I then flashed the gapps rebooted and then flashed tinykernal and then fixed permissions. Can you go all these installs kinda by checking them all at once?

Everything is working fine btw..no problems, except.......why can I not send pics in Handcent or Gosmspro. Sending pics works fine in the stock message program. That was one of the main reasons for upgrading..hoping it maybe would have got fixed. Is it a root thingy?

I don't think it's a Root thing, per se, but probably a 4.2 thing. Everything worked good up til this, and then the 3rd party ones don't seem to send. I've checked all the settings I can, and no luck yet. I'm guessing there's still a couple little hiccups between 4.2 and the apps.
