  • in Settings -> Apps -> turn off background alert on any app that I don't explicitely need.
  • replace as many application with native apps (e.g: my sports tracker is MeeRun).
  • when not needed (e.g.: when I don't need to receive WhatsApp messages), shut down alien-dalvik (you can even add a toggle switch on the notification pane using a plugin from CoDeRus)

That has *tremendously* helped both battery life and memory/swap pressure.

I haven't installed enough (bovine manures) on the Xperia X to be affected by battery problems.
Just wish FB had not blocked Mitakuluu!
