You can flash stock boot animation if you download it from the Omega files app.

The boot screen is not a big issue. It's more the Vodacom bloat that I don't like. In thought if I'm flashing a rom other than the Vodacom rom it would be gone.

How long do you guys get out of your S4's battery? Mine doesn't last a day without me having to top up the battery with a quick charge during the day... :(

Heavy user? (LTE, Wi-Fi, Location services, high brightness, games?)

I will have a look at that. I'm looking for something close to the original Android because my wife will probably use it.

I prefer rooted stock Android but I felt it wasn't taking full advantage of all the phone's features (camera mainly) so I switched back to a Touchwiz ROM :(

I get a full day out of mine (i9505) with +-20% left when it goes on charge.

Wifi, auto brightness, browsing, whatsapp, clash of clans.

I have a profile that limits the CPU to 1.5GHz when the battery drops to below 40%.

People for some reason dont like TouchWiz, i think they are just nit picky.

That's crazy, how???

Where does one set that up?

For example... Since 7am when I woke up (battery on charge, so 100%) until now, 07h30, the battery is now at 90%. That's just from a few whatsapp's and a bit of tapatalk browsing. Is this normal? :(

How long does your S4 take to fully charge from about 10%?

Mine's been charging for about 2 hours now and is now on 61%. Is that normal? Or is it only because I'm used to the fact that my Note 3 fully charge in about 90min?

The blue line under the graph hints that your phone is not going to sleep. By the core services appearance, it's probably a Google app. Before you start digging into wakelocks, try turn Google now off if it is on.

Thanks for the idea but I don't see the Google now app. I'm running a custom Rom...

Ive found mine to charge incredibly slow via usb, but when plugged into a wall socket it gets enough amps to charge fully in a very short time.

It will always charge slow via USB. It doesn't provide a lot of juice vs using the power outlet. Most phone are like this.
