So even tho the meter states a specific percentage, the battery itself is actually at a different capacity. You can re-calibrate the meter by running the phone down near empty, then turn off the phone, recharge until full with it off. At that point the metering should be reset. This will not actually affect battery capacity, but will result in recharge circuit & phone using battery more efficiently.

As others have stated, backlight is #1 offender... I recommend working with Lumos (auto backlight utility) which is cooked into this rom. You can find it under start>tools and just run the calibration wizard again. This app, more than any other, helps with battery life.

This 28005 SYS is superfast, but definitley not as easy on power as earlier builds, or other COM branches.

But TP have lousy batteries, it's either slower performance or longer battery life, never seems to be both. I usually opt for speed!

totally agree with your post and mostly about lumos, i been using that since i first got my tp lol it worked wonders on the stock rom

as far as a verizon rom that sounds splendid!!!!!! would love to see a bare bones version myself as we could always install what each individual prefers compared to maybe having a vzw rom with "loaded" apps that may not get even looked @ by some users
