With the huge help of Truth77, we figured it out.
Follow instructions to the letter. You take all risk, ya da ya da.

Tested and works on:
Thunder Jelly
Hybrid Rom

1. Download this file http://db.tt/ocm6u4IE

If your download comes through with a text extension, remove it. It does on some phones depending on your file browser. There should be be extent ion showing after you paste it.

Put it back if your bootanimation doesn't work.

2. Go into system/bin. Find the Samsungani file and rename it to Samsungani bak
3. Paste the new file in
4. Set permission to
u7enune3.jpg

5. Set owner to
eta9aped.jpg

6. Place any regular boot animation.zip in system/media.
7. Set permission to
emypy6aj.jpg

Reboot

That's it

Even if you mess up permission, the phone will boot. Just no animation

No deleting those other files.

Please leave feedback if it works for you and what rom.

For folks creating Roms, this can be done so a custom ani is your default right out of the box.

Caused a boot-loop for me on Novella 1.1 (4.1.2) + Perseus Kernel 32.1 on Galaxy Note 2 AT&T.

After using Teamwin Recovery to rename the file to put the old file back in its place the phone booted up fine, but was extremely sluggish. Apps had trouble loading if at all took seconds to swipe between screens etc. Let the phone rest for 5 minutes, could not get the phone to wake again. Phone was still on due to notification light blinking. Had to remove battery to get it to reset. Upon resetting phone started boot-looping again for about a minute before finally booting up normally. Had to remove battery yet again to get the phone to shut off.

Restoring back to Nandroid backup before the changes were made fixed the issues completely.
