So last night I followed the post by chadness: http://forum.androidcentral.com/droid-charge-rooting-roms-hacks/93866-how-get-rooted-version-ee4.html#post999590
It was a breeze, took probably less than 15 minutes. I installed imnuts's PeanutButta Jelly Time kernel with voodoo lagfix and imnut's EE4 Debloated 4.2.1 ROM.
After all was said and done (reinstalled all my apps and stuff), I charged my phone up to 100% and then unplugged it and let it sit. I went back about 3 hours later and I was down at 71%! No calls, no texts, didn't even turn the display on during the 3 hours. I checked my battery usage and it said the Maps app was using about 9%! I always leave the GPS on, as well as latitude, but it never sucked battery this much before I rooted.
All morning I had GPS turned off and it seems to be sucking battery no different than when before I rooted. Did I pick a bad kernel/ROM combo (if that even matters)? The main reason I rooted was to try and improve the battery life.
