Root Boot animations?

Are there any boot animations that we can flash or put onto our phone, or can we not because of the bootloader?


ROM ToolBox makes replacing the boot animation simple and it also has a lot to choose from (users can also install their own). Alternately, installing without said app is pretty straight forward.

I have the Galaxy Nexus boot animation; if you use the app though, changing the resolution of the animation is accomplished in a few simple taps. I use it for simplicity.

Be warned: if you do go the way of an app such as ROM ToolBox, some features of the app may cause you to loose data (such as hitting reboot recovery; personally, guilty) and the system/app tweaks.

Try it out. Be safe. Have fun.
