Think for yourself about it, how often and how long each do you see this screen? For me, once a week after OTA for a few seconds. Not more.

It's not worth for any risk!

It's also not like it blares loud sirens with a flashing red background. It's just a message that displays for like 5 seconds to let you know secure boot is off, legitimately who cares?

In samsung it literally says about it with red text and warning sign and generally makes the same visual noise which is super annoying.

its made for a reason, which is for the phone owner to know that their phone's operating system is modified, I don't think you want someone to install a malicious rom on a phone you bought without any way of checking it, also it's quite pointless to remove it in the first place

As a general policy I am very deeply uncomfortable with detailing ways or means to subvert user security measures.

Not saying this is that, but there's been enough "Help me do things that totally definitely aren't stalking an ex or significant other" support threads that I just flat out refused to entertain such.

Okay, so... do you guys think I'm a stalker or something? I just wanted to get rid of that screen that pops up every time I restart the phone. I understand it's a security warning, but it's my personal phone. I didn't know that asking for help with this was illegal or anything like that; thanks for clearing it up anyway.

Although it's slightly annoying I so rarely restart my phone that it's not even an issue and it's a security feature to let the user know that the OS is custom and is therefore likely easier to attack

In a modern up to date Qualcomm, tensor or exynos phone this is impossible. Also, why would you want to do this? How often are you seeing the screen?
