Boot animation

Can I change boot animation on my mi a2 lite? Also is it possible to change the android white splash screen when turning on the phone?

Have a look in the Themes, Apps and Mods section, there you can find some Threads to flash Splash Screen. :good:

Yes and yes.

Boot animation needs you to modify /system though. If you try to use Magisk to set a boot anim you'll only change half the boot process.

Splash -> boot anim from /system -> boot anim from Magisk (if present)

The boot anim restarts. I think after /data is mounted. No idea why.

Look in the Themes forum for the thread on splash replacement.

What if I change the bootanimation.zip using a root file manager? will it work? Android pie stock rom

Sure. remount /system as rw, copy the file, remount system as ro.

I left /system mounted rw and rebooted and my phone died so don't do that.

I normally do it from TWRP after I install it.

Actually, I think its just / you remount on a running system. TWRP mounts it at /system so the path is wrong there. /system/system/media.
