Leave it zipped, and place it on the root of your EXT-SD card (make sure it's the external 16GB one)

Man, this update is phenomenal! I've not been having the problems that others seem to be having like with WiFi and battery life. In fact, the battery life on my Maxx has been substantially better than the .215 "update". My battery meter is showing 80% after 18 hours of use....and for me, it has been more than the usual use with the holidays and the extra picture taking, face booking and calls. The counter should actualy show > 24h but I plugged it in to my car charger for about 10 minutes to see if there were any new features in vehicle mode.

So, if this pre-release (mistaken release) is any indication of the improvements we will see, and possibly some refinements on top of that, they nailed it in my book. My Maxx is like a new phone!

EDIT:

Several hours later.... still at 80% !!

I'm going to take the plunge in a few days. I'm actually really surprised i lasted this long. Ur post on the other hand making it hard. How hard red? Harder than a one legged guy, in an a** kicking contest.

Maybe it was in ics and I never notice it but on jb there is panoramic and multi shot in the stock camera app.. Tell me they are new in JB...

I think it was on ICS too. I'm looking at my camera right now (I'm on JB) and I don't see anything noticeably different. Can't say I used my camera all that much to remember what all was there.

I'll have to search around and figure out what all the new JB features are, since I'm still on the GO Launcher, which runs much faster now since I manually upgraded. It's only been a couple of days, so maybe it's too early to tell, but, I haven't had to run All-in-One Toolbox yet.

Has anybody had issues with JB? Also, do I have to be on Verizon in order for the droidlife download to work?

Some small quirks regarding duplication of photos, but otherwise it's awesome. And yes, the ROM is for Verizon.

Only thing i have noticed is that Swype isn't working for me.

I haven't had any issues, root was problematic but that was my learning curve.

Swype works great for me.
