00059By now most of you would have had a chance to see Sony’s new Android 4.4.2 KitKat boot animation, which we reported on yesterday. Reaction to the animation has been mixed and we agree that Sony’s Jelly Bean boot animation seems more dynamic. Anyway, if you’re interested in trying it for yourself, click on the download links below.

It is worth noting that you will need a rooted handset for this to work. We have included links to two zip files below, the first will just replace your current bootanimation file in system > media. You will then need to make sure you set the correct permissions (rw -, r- -, r – -). The second zip file allows you to install via recovery. Enjoy!
