Try installing a different boot animation either from the themes section or use update zip and custom boot from rom kitchin .

Install Damiantweak and it has an entry to remove both start and close bootanimation, that is if you want to totally remove them, rather than change as indicated in the previous post.
Also note he now has a new paid app in the market that has a few more options, maybe try/buy that if this works for you ;-)
Thanks guys

Yes, is obvious.
"Wellcome" SAMSUNGIVANY.
And now, I must say maybe it´s coincidence; Henrylife release a new update and you....too. By the way, yesterday you said you had fully GS4 camera working, including record video... and, where is it?
Is this just a copy from Glamour rom or is your own release?
And please, if you want to change your name, all it´s ok, but at less change your old banner
Where's video recording??? U said that u had fully working...prove it man and u get the respect from the all members in XDA!
time lost
not working ... gives Unfortunately, the process android. acore has stopped.
full wiped before install
then all types of wipes . but its the same.
Here we meet again SAMSUNGIVANY.
Didn't you say you have managed to get S4 camera video recording to work, did you? (HERE)
We on XDA don't like liars.
Oh and by the way, his signature says "made in Israel"; we Israelis are not all like this. (Well...many of us are actually like him, and that makes me sad.)

You're crying like he owes you something grow up a little. And if you want something so bad instead of begging why not get off your lazy ass stop begging and get to work..
You guys may have problems as the setup opens to a non English format .Setup not really working due to a continual FC .
Unfortunately, the process android. acore has stopped.

Is Step counter in S Health working in your ROM?
I just replaced the Google Pixel 2 xl with Note 9
So far, I like this phone.
I'd like to ask you guys, if it would be worth to root the phone and install a custom ROM / kernel
I can't see a percentage for the brightness, which is annoying, and the clock is on the left, I'd like to have it centered or on the right
With a good kernel, would it help to improve the battery life?
Thank you very much, in advance, any advices are welcome
With Samsung once you root and trip Knox you can't go back to stock - ever. And some apps will not work anymore. This is actually my first phone where I haven't seen any need for root anyway.
Take a look at good lock, with it you can customize allmost everything, incl. clock postition.

latest july build seems to have decent battery without the need to root.
also using samsung goodlock and its various components, you will be able to do a lot of stuff that were only possible on a rooted device. such as move clock position and much more UIwise.
for brightness % sorry never seen that.
so play around with all the goodlock addons 1st and see if its worthing staying on stock. as you know rooting will kill Spay...so
( i can never stay on stock since its much to fun to flash roms every now and then)
What exactly is good lock?
Where do can I find this app? @Bober, I always had a percentage on the brightness, on the Pixel 2 xl ( root / custom Rom)
There must be a way for this
Thank you, guys

goodlock can be found on the Samsung store.
there is also an alternative called nicelock in the guides forum.
basically goodlock in it self is nothing but a downloader/manager or various plugins. they are the ones that modd the system.
Thank you very much, bober

for what?
to install goodlock? if you dont see it in the samsung store then try:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-nicelock-goodlock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908648
sometimes apps are available by region. so using nicelock should bypass this.

What is NiceLock?
This app is only an alternative to main Good Lock app for the regions that it is officially unavailable.
This app only acts as a launcher for modules.

you should be on may release. manually download it and flash it with Odin.
I'm in the same boat here and am quite surprised by it. I ALWAYS root my phone, first thing, asap. I specifically bought the exynos version of the N9 so I could root. But after playing with it I find myself wondering why I need root.
Ad blocking - kind of miss this but using Brave browser mostly fixes that.
Customization - GoodLock is AWESOME. Takes place of rom customizations and Tasker, which was a must have for me.
Call recording seems to work, which it didn't on my Pixel.
Get to keep Samsung pay, which is much better than Google pay. And secure folder is a lot better than the name suggests, since it provides doubles if apps allowing multiple active logins.
Someone convinced me why I need to root this phone??

to have fun with it and try new things. ( i get bored fast and quickly want more)
if you want to use the phone within the allowed parameters and not want anything more than you already have, than don't root. because the 1st thing happens when you root is that knox fuse gets tripped and apps relying on the device's security integrity will stop trusting it and fail to work. but apart from S pay you can get prety much all apps working one way or an other on a rooted phone just as a stock one would.( lately secure folder was found to work! thx dr
.ketan). people have turned to google pay instead of S pay.
but i do understand that its like: why break what's not broken?
some of us like the freedom and ability to do more. its not essential but since we own the device i guess our though process is what can we do to get even more out of this device.( price is not cheap so we need a reason to justify having bought it guess and have our money's worth ! lol )
but it is true. with good lock the visual aspect that was once one of the big reasons of rooting is now less and less of a reason. same goes with themes as well. nice alternatives to the stock themes and store bought ones like the wonderfull app: #hex ( xda made! search for it here and on playstore) allows you to theme. it has slimmed the gap even more between the need to root and not having to.
one aspect though that is important is being able to remove content and aslo add content like unsupported region carrier specific features eg:CSC , i put canadian CSC on my n960n.( somewill argue rhat if i had bought the canadian variant i would not need to do this. but the other reasons outlined in this message outweighs this.)
all in all im happy with my decision. and i have no trouble understanding that you or others are also quite happy with not having rooted.
what is good is that rooting has put pressure and have given samsung and other device companies examples and insight on what the community wants. by rooting and modding the device we show exactly what we need/want. and the result ( goodlock and other additions) that are aosp inspired has really made the device shine and be an attractive experiance to the general public and rooted user alike.

I've definitely rooted a bunch of phones. Every phone in my signature that could be rooted, and many friends phones etc. I've been a huge proponent of root. This phone just seems to not need it, at least not yet at this point. When sammy stops pushing updates in timely manner I will probably reconsider.
You are absolutely right that root, and the xda community in particular, has really pushed OEMs to make things better. Its great progress.

What customizations are you using on your status bar?
Hey ,
I am from india,
Does anyone have any idea on how to successfully change the csc of watch active 2 to get ecg , bp and samsung pay .
The technoproz method ( mentioned below) on youtube seems to be old and outdated.
Moreover it requires going back to tizen 4.x , which in my opinion is a restriction now as with latest fw you cannot downgrade..
There is a method which is risk free and you can use ECG and BP Feature but Samsung Pay is still not working.
Let me know if you want to know or already found a way?
