[Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your actions with your device. You are doing this at your own risk..]

The new Hello Moto boot animation with sound is attatched to this post.It works for me on the soak test version NPJ25.75-2.
Prerequisites:
1. Rooted g4 plus on soak test.
2.Any type of root explorer (I used FX file explorer with root addon).

Steps:
1. Navigate to System/media.
2. you'll find a bootanimation.zip file there. Check it's permissions and Rename it to Bootanimation.zip.bak
3. Copy the new bootanimation file and be sure to provide it with the same accurate permissions.
4 . Reboot and Done!

PS: This may work on other rooted versions also not just nougat, although I've not tried it.If anyone tries this on other versions,please report it on this thread.

The latest soak test already has it btw.

Tried on crDroid. CM 14.1 based.
All permissions correctly set up. But didn't work. Maybe endemic only to stock ROM

Yeah only for stock not for others.

Apparently, it is not for latest soak that he is saying but for older soak builds I guess.

If i use the bootanimation binary from stock in CM14.1, it works?

I really cant be sure. I dont think so but nevertheless you can backup via TWRP, try it and report back. Simple as that.

Can someone post the binary from stock? I'm in macOS and can't extract System.new.dat from here.

This will work on custom roms

No sound though. CM doesn't support boot sound afaik.

No sound though. CM doesn't support boot sound afaik.

Though right now im on Stock 6.0.1, still i can remember there was an option in "Other Sound" options to enable/disable boot sound. I could be wrong!
