[Tutorial] 100% Working. Set your own video as custom boot animation

Cracked! Found out how to set our own mp4 video as boot animation. This applies to XT1033 Moto G gen 1. This should work on other devices that support bootanimation.zip.

I think this is the only working thread so far in XDA for mp4 videos as custom boot animation as I could not find one till now for custom boot animation.

No cumbersome bin files change. No desc files change. No jpegs. No gifs. No tools required like Boot Animation Factory (Thanks to the developer but here not applicable). No complexities. :)

Here we go...
Requirements:
1. ES File explorer
2. Root
3. 7zip Windows

Method:
1. From ES File explorer
2. Go to /system/media
3. Backup bootanimation.zip to /sdcard/downloads
4. To Replace 01_<ExistingFileName>.mp4 with 01_<YourFileName>.mp4 . Just check if resolution is within limits of your device. I used 540 x 960. See below.

Here is the trick to replace:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to windows
2. Extract it to bootanimation folder.
3. Replace your own file in 01_<YourFileName>.mp4
4. Right click bootanimation folder - 7zip - Add to Archive
5. Extension zip - Use compression method as store. (Thanks to boot animation tutorial. Image attached)
6. Leave rest as defaults.
7. From windows copy the bootanimation.zip to phone to /sdcard
8. From ES file explorer replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip from /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
9.Set permissions to -rw-r--r-- (Long press file, from bottom right menu and click properties - permissions change )
10. Reboot phone. Voila you have have got super boot animation. :good:
