An Android device has a lot more customization opportunities than any other device available out there in the market. Even if you have not rooted your device, you can enjoy a number of useful apps from Google Play.
For you who have rooted your phone, there is just no limit to how far you can customize your device. On a rooted device, you have the control over all the functionalities of your device, including changing system files, installing root-only apps and changing boot animation. Yes, you can even change the boot animation that is tied to your telco/phone manufacturer.
What is a Boot Animation
It is the animated logo or a picture you see when your device boots up. Usually, you would see your manufacturer’s logo with some animation when you reboot your device.

There are a number of boot animations available for Android devices that you can make use of to customize your device. Here’s how you can go about doing that:
