Could you build this?
Partial While the shell script wrapper or Magisk module skeleton is simple, hooking boot animations without traditional partition mounting requires deep knowledge of Android init and zygote internals.
What it would actually take: The core challenge lies in understanding Android's boot sequence, overlayfs, and bind mounting mechanics across Android versions without modifying read-only system partitions. It requires low-level Android init script authoring, SEPolicy patching, and testing against various OEM-modified bootloader environments (Samsung Knox, Xiaomi MIUI/HyperOS).
