Introduction:
Here is a quick guide on how to change your boot animation on the surface duo. Note that the surface duo has technically 3 images/animations/steps when booting:
1.) A boot image.
2.) A boot logo.
3.) A boot animation.
This guide is for changing the boot animation only. I haven't figured out yet how to change the boot image and boot logo.
Requirements:
1.) You must be ready rooted.
2.) You must have magisk installed.
Steps to change your boot animation:
Step 1: download the boot_animation_magisk_installer.zip file located in the boot_animation_installer directory and copy it to the /sdcard/ directory on your device.
Step 2: download any of the boot animation zip files located in the boot_animation_collection directory, rename it to bootanimation.zip, and copy it to the /sdcard/ directory on your device.
Step 3: open magisk, go to modules, and install the boot_animation_magisk_installer.zip module. Watch the installation log and and ensure no errors were encountered.
Step 4: reboot and watch your new boot animation.
Steps to revert back to the original boot animation:
Step 1: open magisk, go to modules, and disable or delete the boot animation module.
Step 2: reboot and watch your original boot animation.
Notes:
a.) I don't take credit for any of this work. I have just massaged stuff I found on XDA to work on the surface duo.
b.) these boot animations have not been optimized for a dual screen phone. So the animations will be dead centered on the hinge. I do plan to eventually write a batch script to optimize them for two screens.
c.) Technically any bootanimation.zip file you find on XDA should work with this guide.
d.) No guarantees that this will work for you and not mess up your phone. That being said it works for me on my unlocked surface duo. I'm currently rocking the Matrix boot animations and I love it!

Used Boot Animations Manager, same developer from RomToolbox to Re-size the boot animation which results in Black Screen of Death.

Custom Boot Animation Enabler (MANUAL)
This did not load boot animations from any directory I've found.
1. Place the bootanimation.zip file of your choice in /system /media
2. Still in /system /media , backup and then delete bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg files
EDIT: Deleting these qmg files is OPTIONAL ( I always delete stuff I am not using, to create more space in /system , but that's up to the user )
3. Then go to /system /bin , backup and then delete samsungani (This one you have to delete no optional, not optional cause....see step 4 )
4. Still in system /bin rename the file bootanimation to samsungani ( yes there is also in /system /bin a file called bootanimation but without .zip)

Custom Boot Animation (TWRP ZIP INSTALL)
Boots animations loaded from /data/local/bootanimation.zip
? Sources state that /system/media/bootanimation.zip should be default location
! I get /data/local/bootanimation.zip as default location.
If I re-size the animation, I get black screen boot.
The screen never gets to android's X Window Manager.
MUST RECOVER FROM TWRP BACKUP
Anyone know how I can re-size full screen boot animations to 720/[email protected]?
Solution
If solution is found, will be posted here.
My solution so far is to download HD 1280x720 boot animations.
I really like the "Space Tease" boot animation from

-Probably there's a way to create custom boot animations.
I had some good ideas of creating boot animations and so I looked up how to create one which led me to this guide. Before creating of my own, I had installed Android Wear boot animation from Boot animations app (Playstore) and I wanted to add some more frames after the boot-up completes. I copied and extracted it, added few frames to it, zipped it and replaced the one I had in system/media. The animation did not work. I had the warning sign till my phone booted. Help.

looks like you made 2 mistakes, 1st it's bootanimation, not bootlogo, those 2 are different. 2nd, the tutorial you use is for older version of Android. Started from lollipop, the loop parts was changed.
A Simple yet amazing boot animation. People who hate long boot time, can try this boot animation. it will boot your device within a few seconds and also make it more appealing. I am sure you will love it. Try it to believe it.
Instruction to use:
You don't really need to flash the zip file. I will make it very simple for you. Just download the zip file from the given link. The zip file will be like "bootanimation.zip". Now just open ES file explorer or any file manager with root access. Now locate the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and copy it. Now go to /system/media and you will see there is already a bootanimation.zip file. That is your current boot animation zip file. Just rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for future reference and now paste the downloaded bootanimation.zip file that you copied earlier. Now just restart your device and enjoy all the superheroes on your device. Please note, it won't replace the stock "AndroidOne" splash screen that shows at the beginning.
If you like the boot animation, don't forget to hit Thanks. It would inspire me to give you more cool boot animations like this.

A must-have boot animation for all PokemonGo lovers. if you are a Pokemon lover, just try it once and you will never want to switch to any other boot animation ever! It will definitely flaunt your device and set it apart from others. People will start noticing it as soon as you start using it. And they will probably be surprised how did you do this magic! Just kidding! But yeah, you will definitely start getting questions like "How did you do it?" "Please help me getting it" etc. Just smile and make a face like "Hey it's a magic"!! Try it to believe it.
