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 Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Only (Snapdragon Devices)..
(For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.)

Requirements:
1. Rooted Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (any ROM)
2. Terminal Emulator app or custom recovery or fastboot.

STEPS to create & install splash.img:
Click here for procedure
(It's the same procedure as that for Xiaomi Mi 5)


Note:
For devices with the latest Nougat firmware, the splash screen is no longer loaded from the splash.img..
Instead, it gets loaded from the logo.img ..
The latest logo.img from @greddy seems to have 6 pictures, each in RBG24 format.
For Mi 5, @Cynob has created a tool for Mi 5 Nougat firmware here (for 5pics): https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/modified-splash-img-dont-try-logo-t3604134..
You may try to extend it for 6 pictures for Mi Max2.. If you do so, pls tell me, so that I'll link this post to the post that you create..
(I'm a little busy these days, so I'm sorry, I'll do create the tool from scratch when I find time)

Thanks to @greddy who provided the stock splash.img of Mi Max 2.

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

My splash screen became just a penguin in the middle of the screen, i cant seem to change it even by flashing new ones via your tutorial. Please help
the same here ... i ask allready .. no one can help :(
Hey, flashing the stock splash.img should fix the problem..

As of now, I don't have the latest splash.img that is supported by your latest firmware.

If you can send your latest stock splash.img, I'll try to create a tool for it :)
And BTW, I'm very sorry for my late replies, I just saw all the replies in this thread ;)

Not working on my device :(

Flashing the splash image didn't change anything.
I think flashing the logo should work.
Anybody please develop Logo maker for mi max 2.
