Anyone has a good guide on how to get rid of the irritating and awful boot animation or at least disable the sound ?
You can disable the boot sound from Settings>Sound>Power up sound.
As mentioned by Kufat, you can disable the boot sound in settings. If you're rooted you can change the boot animation to something else altogether.
On all my previous Moto devices (all very rooted, of course) I simply disabled the bootanimation by changing the extension of the zip to "bootanimation.zip.bkp". You can try that. Notice that just renaming it somehow didn't always worked in everyone of them. Good thing is the stock bootanimation gets automatically replaced by an "Android" item with black background that lurks somewhere. You can also replace it with another one by means of naming the replacement "bootanimation.zip" while keeping the stock BA with extension edited. Do not delete it; keep it right there just in case you want to go back to stock any day.

In addition to silencing it as mentioned you can speed it up from the developer option so it's not as bad. Check the Open hidden settings to speed up the UI in thelink - https://phandroid.com/2017/05/31/first-15-things-every-moto-g5-plus-owner-should-do/ -

My attempted search ended up applying for lock screens with pins and a bunch of other irrevelant issues. I noticed since I rooted I get a BUNCH of random issues like the rotation breaking and a solution is to add libgnustl_shared.so in a directory and reboot which makes me think this has a stupid simple solution but long story short:
My s4's stock music lock screen widget is missing and everything from its built in sound picker and its regular widget are still there. I've done an Odin restore but that didn't help, its not the launcher and it didnt appear in safe mode either.
cliff notes: you cant change the lock screen icons or remove them at all.
so it seems the biggest gripe i have with this phone, albeit, not a huge gripe.....
you cannot pick and choose which icons show up on your lock screen tray. it reflects what you have in your unlocked home screen tray.
so if you dont want any icons in your lock screen, then you have to remove them from your homescreen tray.
i have seen many videos of other HTC phones that you can personalize the lock screen, however, on the 816 you do not even have that subfolder for lock screen personalization.
i cannot even remember the last time that i wasnt able to customize the lock screen with whatever icons i wanted to show up or none at all (which is my preference). I guess LG is a little more flexible about this one than HTC.
it has been confirmed per HTC online chat.
do keep in mind, i have no plans on rooting or running a customer rom, nor do i want to hear anyone saying i should, because you're wasting your time.
this isnt something i should have to hack my phone for or to install a launcher or separate lock screen app to do this.
this phone is limited in storage and i shouldnt have to load it up with this crap.
Thread cleaned. People argue over the stupidest stuff on the internet. Everybody take a breather and let it go.
Customization on stock HTC ROMs has gone backwards for years. I've been an HTC user for almost four years and remember when lockscreen shortcuts could be changed, but they've been unchangable separately from the tray since Sense 4. So, it's not just this phone. And I agree it is a step backwards although I think removing skins was a step backwards in customizing HTC phones too. But, I guess that's their choice.
I tried to find a way to remove them, but the only option would be to remove them from the launcher and then use a different launcher which you don't want to do.
If you had wanted to add an app without running a custom launcher or lockscreen, you could enable widgets on the lockscreen. On my HTC One, you go to Settings, Security, Enable lock screen widgets (I'm sure yours is similar). You could then add a widget to whatever app you want (assuming one is available).
Thanks for cleaning up the thread, it certainly needed it. Also thanks for actually giving an adult type response. These responses is what you should look for in a forum not the ones that were deleted from this thread.
the HTC phones I had were before sense 4, I've been on an lg phone kick lately and they've been great. But I came across the 816 phablet and it seems exactly like what I wanted. This issue is a very small one and won't cause me much frustration other than the fact that I don't want them there. But I do use them because they are there, but my preference is that they were not.
OK, this isn't really for OP because he doesn't want to root but for anyone else that wants to use different apps on the lock screen...
Install the Xtended Settings module for Xposed. That will allow you to accomplish what OP wanted. Xtended Settings along with Sense6 Toolbox will allow you to change EVERY DAMNED THING on your Desire 816. And by everything I honestly mean it. I don't think I've found a color or setting that couldn't be changed.
Make sure you have a backup before you play around with things though because there is a lot and if you just play with it and test different things you might forget how to set it back.

Nice find. I've heard of Sense 6 Toolbox but not Xtended settings. It's unfortunate that rooting is the only way to change things.
will it let me get rid of the battery saver mode notification icon?
So I have a Lenovo Yoga 10+ HD, model B8080-F, on which I've just done a factory reset (to fix a repeated freeze issue), and which is rooted. My current annoyance is that the lockscreen background is stuck on these horrible garish bubbles/balloons, and I can't seem to change it. I've tried opening pictures and setting them as lockscreen background, but to no effect. I'm using Android 4.4.2 (this is the most recent release Lenovo has made available for this model).
How can I change the lockscreen background?

You'd think there'd be an easier way, but what I did in the end was: (1) copy the image I wanted into the /etc/localwallpaper folder, and checked that its permissions and owner were the same as all other pictures, (2) edit the customed_wallpaper.xml file to include this new image, (3) went out of Nova launcher into the stock Launcher HD and changed the wallpaper from there.
Pain in the butt, all that was.
Does anyone know how to disable that animation?
i check all setting and don't have find this "function" (sorry for bad english ahah)
Go to Developers options and set window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale to zero. That should do it, I guess.
It's not an animation. More like a screen that pops up and says something along the lines of "battery optimized and boosted, 200 ram released"
It is adware. Some app you installed recently is causing it. You either find out which app it is by yourself my elimination and post all the apps you installed and ask the community for suspect apps.
Also which ROM?
It's a native part of the stock ze500kl marshmallow rom.
Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the animation that's used when the quick settings appear in MIUI 12 (I'm using xiaomi.eu)? I've disabled animations in Accessibility, but it seems to be the one animation that's not removed. For some reason, I find it really irritating!
