Anyone know which is the best on battery? I've tried Slim, CM10, and ICJ. I'll go as far as trying an ICS AOSP, but does anyone have any good recommendations? Is it possible that I could completely De-Sense a ROM? Like take a sense rom but have the AOSP notification drawer and settings and say Nova Launcher?

i think battery is more related to the kernel than the rom per se. That being said, I'd suggest ICJ since it uses NCX kernel by default and IMO that is the best kernel for battery life.

ICJ is probably the best One X ROM in terms of features, but for me it heats up way to quickly to the point where I can't use the ROM as battery drain is so bad.

99% of the time it's a rogue app doing that to the phone.
can you check in better battery stats which app is keeping the phone awake or if the phone is achieving deepsleep.

maybe one of the apps isn't playing nice with the phone and keeping it awake or draining it a lot.

if you're patient you can wait a while and try Owain's domination, which is my favorite aosp rom, though he hasn't been able to update it for a while,
but from what i've read, the next update should be amazingly awesome!!!
that + ncx's kernel should provide a good mix of battery life and features.

I'll give that a shot when I get home.

I'm using CM10 nightlies. With the stock kernel I was lucky to get 10 hours standby with average use or 1 hour screen, and the phone was getting very hot. I changed to the NCX kernel and now I'm getting 24 hours standby with average use or up to 4 hours screen time.

I am surprised no one mention CM10 SE ver 2. I am on it and this is the only AOSP ROM that I managed to convince myself to stay on. And I have tried the rest. My phone stays cool on it, I have not met with any bugs with my usual usage of games, xda, browsing, music, camera, phone.. and it is smooth. Feature-wise, it is not as rich as ICJ or AOSP but I never needed so many features and more features just add to the probability of more bugs.

Try out CM10 SE by Seadersn!

I'm a noob and only tried 2 custom ROMs, but CM10 nightlies were draining my battery too quick so i tried CM10 SE and have been with it for a few versions now. Find the battery great on it.

Once the AOSP ROMs work on new HBOOT ill unlock again, but for now I'm content with sense 4+ and nova launcher.

I've been using CM10 SE since yesterday and the battery has been fantastic. I'm on HBoot 1.31 so no GPS but everything else works perfectly. I went to bed last night with the battery on 87% and woke up this morning to find that it was still on 87% :)

Everyone has his own preference for ROMs. There's no point in comparing them with scales such as "speed", "battery life" or "smoothness".
You have to try them on your own and find out yourself.
