How to install or uninstall the new Boot animation from latest Open Beta 24/15

The latest OxygenOS Open Beta released yesterday, comes with a few bug fixes and a little bit of tweaks here and there. One of the most remarkable upgrade comes to the Blueborne vulnerability Patch. There, however, is one interesting feature of the OxygenOS Open Beta 24/15 update; which is the new Boot animation disliked by all. The new boot animation features a hand written “Never Settle” tag. There is one problem, though. Everyone hates it.

The new boot animation is disliked by a lot of OnePlus 3 and 3T users. Though the highly anticipated Android 8.0 Oreo has not arrived with the latest Open Beta, there are new features like the new Boot animation. So if you don’t like the new change, you can revert back to the old one.

There are multiple ways to either install the new Boot animation or revert back to the original boot animation. First one is by simply replacing the bootanimation.zip to the preferred one found under system/media. Another way is to install the Magisk module that consists of the old boot animation. All the procedures require you to have root access on your OnePlus 3/3T.

Here’s what the new boot animation looks like:
