Nice guide.. I own a legacy phone.. which is MDPI .. most of the times when we build new ROMs for our device from source.. the bootanimation is prebuilt and the bootanim is for hdpi or higher.. most of the times.. so I think this will help us a lot !! :) Thanks

Now that I have a valid bootanimaion.zip file that works if I place it in /system/media, is it possible to somehow make it so that I can easily install it by flashing it via TWRP? Manually copying the file over and setting the correct permissions can get tedious when flashing new nightlies on a nearly daily basis..

Correct, you can create a flashable.zip quite easily to be flashed either phone specific or to nearly any phone with the same screen size (or different size but it may look terrible)

Does the video have to be in a specific format? I.E. mp4, h.264, avi? I'm trying to use an mp4 file and everytime I get to the part where I'm supposed to export the only option I get is to create.

Unfortunately I don't have access to any Windows PCs, only Mac & Linux. Is there a way to package my bootanimation.zip file so that I can "install" it via TWRP, which essentially would just be to copy that file to /system/media and set the permissions. How can I do this?

no worries, there is zero need for windows, actually if anything i would prefer Linux
just take a working flashable.zip ROM for your phone and extract contents
throw away all folders inside but META-INF
place bootanimation.zip in same folder level as META-INF (not in META-INF but same level if you know what i mean)
then open up META-INF/com/google./android
open the updater script in gedit or whatever unix format text editor
erase all in there and replace with something like
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("Installing Bootanimation");    
package_extract("bootanimation.zip", "/system/media");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/media/bootanimation.zip");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Enjoy your new Bottanimation by:synt3k");
now save
Then zip up bootanimation.zip and META-INF
name it whatever
sign it (lots of methods to do so, ask if you need help)
flash away!

couldn't tell you, ask OP as this isn't my thread
all bootanimations I have made have been by different methods but plan to try this out
but i would assume MP4 should be fine

Request you add the restrictions on the video files you use... I tried doing this with a video of 26sec, which was around 500 frames. Did not work. Broke it down to around 200 and it worked. I have not pushed until the limit was reached. Don't know if it is frame amount or size limit. Also if you use jpg vice png or bmp, you will save a lot on size. DVDVideoSoft, Fotosizer, and Advanced Renamer to build mine.

blank

all I'm getting is a blank screen when booting. I've followed all the steps and even resized my images to match my device. 800X480 for samsung galaxy s2. I've also changed the permissions and moved it to system/media I'm on 4.3 custom aosp rom.

if I want to share an animation, are there any good GIF making programs that will make small file-sized animations so I can share on the forum? thanks!
 
Something wrong happened for me.. the tablet is stuck at the end of the bootanimation..
After couple of restarts and wiping dalvik the system starts and i managed to replace it with the original bootanimation.
So like po8pimp said.. I hope you add some restrictions.

.. @demkantor

Package_extract gave me a status 6 error.
So I added " _dir " created two folders system/media.. then included the zip inside it and installed without errors.

Thank you.

It depends on your folder structure if you need _dir or not
