So, I decided to back-up the entire "My Memory" onto my PC. I wanted to reorganize it anyway since it had gotten very cluttered. So did the hard reset ALL. Reloaded Official ROM and Adrynelyn's Vanilla.
BOOM. It's like coming up for air. The phone literally is different. Better. GPS locks in seconds. Software that was clunky is now smooth. I know that I had perhaps a collection of artifacts from adding and removing software and ROMs so many times. This is the clutter that gets in the way of a smooth operating phone. By the time I was done I transfered only 15% of my "junk" back.
JUST DO IT!

I was having the same issues with the GPS taking up to 10 minutes to lock. I couldn't figure out why VZ Navigtor could get a lock so quickly and the other programs couldn't.
I was somewhat skeptical at first, and I didn't want to clear my Storage, but it was worth it.
I backed "My Storage" up to my PC, then formatted the "My Storage", and then did a hard reset.
Once the phone came back up, I installed both Google maps and Bing. They both got GPS locks in seconds. Google had my location from the cell towers down to the city even before I turned GPS on.
It was definitely worth doing. I highly recommend it if you are having issues with the GPS taking awhile to lock.
