The Custom Bootanimation module lets you safely change your Android startup animation without relying on meta-overlayfs or magic mount. It works systemlessly via a lightweight script, ensuring strict compatibility across modern root solutions.

Technical Details

The tool copies your selected boot sequence directly to the /data/adb/bootanimation directory. On every device reboot, a lightweight post-fs-data.sh shell script executes to safely bind-mount the bootanimation.zip file. This dynamic partition determination bypasses the need for Magisk Magic Mount completely.

Core Features of Custom Bootanimation

  • No OverlayFS required to run custom animations safely.
  • Experimental WebUI included for straightforward visual file picking.
  • Dynamic Partition determination ensures proper mounting across different device trees.
  • Simple CLI access available via standard terminal emulator commands.

Support & Requirements

Tested successfully on Android 15 and 16, requiring Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch to function.

How to Install Custom Bootanimation

  1. Download the latest module release .zip to your internal storage.
  2. Open your Root Manager (Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch) and access the Modules menu.
  3. Tap "Install from storage," select the downloaded file, and flash it.
  4. Reboot your device and configure using a terminal emulator by typing su followed by bootanim -h.
