Some info and critique:

Magisk cannot replace the bootanimation in /system directly since the Magisk image is not mounted until after it starts. See post #7 of the main Magisk post:

For example, you want to replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip, copy your new boot animation zip to /cache/magisk_mount/system/media/bootanimation.zip with any root explorer, Magisk will mount your files in the next reboot.

To add it to a module, you would set POSTFSDATA to true and add this to /common/post-fs-data.sh:

mkdir -p /cache/magisk_mount/system/media/
cp -f $MODDIR/system/media/bootanimation.zip /cache/magisk_mount/system/media/bootanimation.zip

In all four of your modules, the MODID in config.sh is googledialercontactsmessages. The id in module.prop has the proper names.

Also, the permissions are already set in config.sh for 0755 for folders and 0644 for files. The line you added to set 0644 permissions for the bootanimation.zip is redundant and unnecessary.

Pixel / Pixel 2 Bootanimations v2

Changelogs..

Removed typos
Removed unnecessary permissions
Added post fs data script (hopefully it'll solve issues with some devices in which bootanimation was not working)
Also changed id to 'bootanimation' for all to remove comflicts.
So if you're flashing new v2 bootanimation, first remove older bootanimation

Many thanks. It works fine on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, even though I changed Pixel bootanimation to my own bootanimation. Thanks again

Thanks for trying, but it still doesn't work on my Pixel 2 XL.

Did you reboot twice?

Yup.

Yup.

Is your original bootanimation.zip located in /system/media?

Is your original bootanimation.zip located in /system/media?

Yes. There's still only stock Android for the Pixel 2.

Also, I confirm that the directories and bootanimation.zip are created in the Magisk mount folder.

Since you have the Pixel 2, I'm guessing you installed the dark Pixel 2 animation? It works fine for me on my Nexus 5X. I don't know what else to suggest.

May be due to A/B partition, magisk needs update. Try unofficial magisk v14.4/14.5.

Are other modules working like greenify4magisk?

Other modules work perfectly.

Using iYTBP and Sony Framework for Remote Play. Also using Magisk Hide for Remote Play and Spectrum TV.

Sadly I've have the same situation as the pixel 2 on my xiaomi mi A1, I think at this point it's correlated to the a/b partition

 

[Saswata Chakraborty]

I have Xiaomi Mi A1 and it has standard Android One boot animation which I hated the most. So I downloaded the dark Pixel 2 boot animation from the above list and extracted the bootanimation.zip from inside system/media. Then I copied it in my internal memory. After that I opened ES file explorer and went to system/media and renamed the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for back up and copied the pixel boot animation zip file in the media folder. That's it! The boot animation is changed successfully. Now I am working on to change the splash screen.

Don't flash the zip file from Magisk. Just extract it and pull out bootanimation.zip from system/media. Copy it in your phone memory. Now open ES file explorer on your device and head on to system/media. You will find a bootanimation.zip file. Rename it to bootanimation.zip1 for future back up and now copy the pixel boot animation zip here that you have previously copied in your device. That's it. You now have the Google pixel boot animation. I have Mi A1 and that's how I changed boot animation. Flashing didn't work for me.

Thanks, worked for me by following the above way on my Redmi Note 4 (Mido) running PixelExperience (8.1). Please share your thoughts if possible once you complete your work on changing splash screen as well.

Just installed Pixel 2 White (v2) on my LG Aristo. The animation looks all squeezed in. It also flickers. I'm running LG stock on the latest.

Sounds like you're using the wrong resolution. Match the resolution of your device with the one you choose to install
