📦 How to Replace Your Boot Animation

⚠️ Root access or custom recovery is typically required.

🔧 Method 1: Manually via File Manager (Root)

1. Download the desired bootanimation.zip from this repo.
2. Use a root-enabled file manager (e.g. Root Explorer, MiXplorer).
3. Navigate to:
   • /system/media/ (for system-level boot animation) OR
   • /data/local/ (for user-level override; no need to modify system files).
4. Replace the existing bootanimation.zip with your new one.
5. Set file permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644).
6. Reboot your device and enjoy! 🚀

💡 If the animation looks distorted or doesn't fit your screen:
Please open desc.txt inside the .zip and modify the resolution (e.g. 1080 2340) to match your device.
This is especially important for phones with unusual aspect ratios.
