Thanks for the response, the link you provided contained a lot of very useful information.I  ...

Hi,
I do not remember exactly where the system image was creating when compiling the Android as I have done that couple of months ago, but I think it was somewhere in "<source_code>\out\images", I think... (It's mentioned in 'Build Android' in WiKi anyway)

Find the "system.img" which Android compile gives you to flash to your device.
Modify that image by mounting it and put your "bootanimation.zip" file in the '/system/media' folder.
Unmount your 'system.img' and do the normal process to pack and make the update image or directly use 'rkflashkit' tool to only flash the 'system.img' file to your device.

In case you want to load only the 'system.img' file into your device, the command to use 'rkflashkit' is this:

1. rkflashkit flash @system system.img

Copy the code

It means flash 'system.img" file at 'system' partition address.
You need to know more about partitions and how to adjust their sizes, you can use my tool to set your partition sizes properly before loading your Android images.
