Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Mi' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Redmi 2/2S Prime or Redmi 3/3S/3X/Pro Only..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.

Requirements:
1. Rooted Redmi 2/2S Prime or Redmi 3/3S/3X/Pro (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.

STEPS to create splash.img:

Before proceeding, make sure fastboot is setup properly in your computer (just incase something goes wrong)..

1. Download & Extract this in computer: Redmi_2,3_Splash_Maker.zip

2. Make sure you have a 720x1280 resolution picture.

3. Now rename your picture as logo.png or logo.jpg (according to its format) & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can also change fastboot.png if you wish to change the picture of fastboot)

4. Finally, run the 'Create_Logo.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder.


STEPS to flash splash.img:

Optional: To backup your original splash.img:

Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img
(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)

Now, Choose any one easy method:

a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.

b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code: 
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash

c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code: 
fastboot flash splash splash.img

Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

(This one is just a copy from my thread here: [GUIDE] How to Create Custom Splash Screen for Lenovo A6000)
2. @kumajaya for the stock splash.img of Redmi 2

Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you :)

You're welcome to post the splash images that you created..

very nice you came up with some output. i tried lots of things but zero success.
BTW I made something here for myself in ms paint :p
Get those images from attachments below. Believe me, it looks awesome. :D
Also, it will be good if you add adb shell guide too for flashing with dd :)

Wow, I was really looking forward to this thing!!! :) :)
Guys, I have a request if this has been tested by you to be working, can you please port the awesome batman bootlogo here, over at http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/bootlogo-awesome-batman-bootlogo-t3264750
.
Maybe you can also edit the image to contain a small MI logo (only for people who want it, not me xD) .
.
Hope this can be achieved - I'd be dammed :D :D :D :p :p

He has given stock images with the tool itself. Have a look at it.
Otherwise if you want some thrill (xD)
Here's command for you:
Run as superuser.*(I assume you know it)
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img

This is my antitheft image :v
I hope it is useful to avoid stock firmware reset in case of a theft (Yeah, this happens a lot here, thieves are getting smart)
So it is basically a super joke :p

The first picture tells who owns it, address, email and phone (in case of a simple loss), it indicates that the GPS is on and working (fake :v) and displays a warning that the device is monitored.

Second one is the best :p
