Android, one of the well known mobile OS (operating system) for easy customization. Changing the boot animation of your Android phone, is also a type of customizing your phone. When I bought my new Android phone I was happy, when I rooted it, I was too happy. But one thing that irritated and when powering on my android, it is the Boot animation which will always take 20-30 seconds for booting.

I think, that's major irritating thing for you too. Yeah you're right! In this tutorial I'll be sharing How to change the boot animation or boot screen in your Android.

Remember, this will be applicable for ROOTED ANDROID USERS ONLY!

Requirements for Changing the Boot Screen of your Android :

• Your android must be rooted
• Your android may be any version
• You android must have ES explorer (Download it from here)
• And you must have Boot animation file, that you want to appear while booting. (Download from here)

Note: While downloading the boot animation file for your android, remember to download the boot animation file based on the screen resolution of your android phone, if you download an boot animation file that has different screen resolution of your android phone, you may not be able to boot your android phone. And Don't Extract the .zip file or do anything to that file, if you do so, your device may not work!

Remember, changing the boot screen of android doesn't depends upon the ROM or the current theme you have, it supports on any rooted android phones.

Don't forget to take a backup of your current ROM via Titanium Backup PRO, and save it to your PC, because if the boot didn't work you can restore it easily.
