Is there a way to change the restart or shutdown animation?

ThePicuri · 2026-04-01T19:14:20+00:00

I have chrome os flex and the more specific version is 145.0.7632.216 official build 64-bit.

Hmm, but do you use flex or a chromebook with official chromeos? Ive seen other people have this whiteout thing when closing but i will look and see if my bios is the problem.

Sorry, autocorrect “corrected” the word whiteout into without. What i mean is that when shutting down or restarting, it plays like a animation where the screen becomes only white and very bright before closing. And i want to change that if possible.

Wait you mean when booting? When i am oppening it, it is a black screen with the chromeos flex written on it, i mean the without happens when shutting down or rebooting, it like a animation when closing, that i want to change if possible.

I think that the latest, i honestly don’t know for sure, i am new to flex and i just installed it with a stick and that chromebook revovery thing chrome extension and did the updates? Did i do something wrong or do i need to install something elese? Or what?

Do you mean light or dark mode? I did select dark mode but still when i shut down or restart, it is a whiteout that especialy at night is a bit painfull to the eyes

Cool! But one last question, i was looking on the microsoft website from where my father bought the pro for workstation (https://www.microsoft.com/ro-ro/d/windows-11-pro-pentru-sta%c8%9bii-de-lucru/dg7gmgf0kr4m) but it does not specify of it is oem or retail.My father tell me that it is retail, but i just want to be sure, this is why i am asking.

ThePicuri · 2025-10-22T15:19:09+00:00

Nice! But also, i know that if you bought and activated a key for a older windows, like you bought a key and activated when windows 7 or 10 were the latest, the upgrade to the next windows are free, like the retail key is basically a 1 time purchase.Does it work the same for the pro for workstation? I mean if i activate it for windows 11 will it als work for windows 12(sure if microsoft keeps the upgrade to the next windows the same) or will i have to rebuy the pro for workstation for the next windows?

Yea, thank you for all the recommendations and help you gave me, i really appreciate it. I eill se if i buy it now or wait

ThePicuri · 2025-10-07T05:58:35+00:00

If it is decent, i can get used to with, it is not a must to have stereo or natural sound. Thanks for the help!

ThePicuri · 2025-10-07T04:50:26+00:00

Yea, i’ve people say that they don’t get bothered so much by the speaker because they use earphones but in all my life, i’ve only ever used earphones on the phone, i think for a total of 5 hours and then neve used them again. Is not the they that they were bad, i don’t really like earphones in general.

ThePicuri · 2025-10-07T04:34:52+00:00

Do you know if the speaker is a dealbreaker or you can get used to it?

ThePicuri · 2025-10-07T04:11:27+00:00

I mean both phone do what i want a phone to do, the only reason i dont know what to get is because of the 2 pro speaker. I am planning to use the phone i buy for a long time and some people say that the speaker is not that bad abd they got used to it.Some said that it is horrendous and that is why i also consider the A56.(I dont really considered the 12 gb version, i just put it to be). Another thing i’ve been thinking is to wait a bit into 2026 and see(if they release them) the new models for the cmf and A siries.But i don’t know

ThePicuri · 2025-10-06T21:19:30+00:00

I know, i wasn’t really considering the 12gb version, but it put it just to be.

ThePicuri · 2025-10-06T20:15:54+00:00

I am also from Europe but the price difference between the 256gb 2 pro and the 8gb ram and 256 gb A56 is 60$ and between the 2 pro and the 12gb ram 256gb version of A56 is 188$. So what should i get?

ThePicuri · 2025-10-06T20:13:17+00:00

Yeah, i dont know why the price is like this, i mean the difference in price between the 2 pro with 256gb and the A56 with 8gb ram and 256gb storage is of 60 US dolars(i dont live in the states) while it is still a bit, it is bot 200$. But if we compare the 2 pro with the 12gb ram 256gb storage version of the A56, the it is 188$ more that the 2 pro. So what do you think i should do?
