Dunno what the original Firmware was but i assume you now have
4.2g
If so, the "align or menu prompt" cant be bypassed unless you use patched firmware.
The brightest star name can be brought up by pressing "?"
or you can go to the "Utilities" menu and set the "Brightest Star" option to off. It will then show the actual names all the time.

I like the itdea of it telling me what the alignment star is so I learn to identify them.

I like that
.
We actually believe the main reason this "feature" was introduced was for beginners who didnt know the sky. Giving them a name ( vs brightest thing you can see ) was deemed too confusing

I know that it always picks the same stars

Nope
It makes a list of the brightest stars "currently visible",
in descending brightness order.
As such, it changes over the night depending on time.
Currently, Sirius will nearly always be first, but it can change.
Also, the secondary stars ( if you use 2 star mode )
will change order based on the first star selected.
