Unpack any boot animation to cannibalize and batch rename PNG to status_bar_pulldown0001.png

resize 480 x 746 px and change format to PNG. Make sure to use GIMP and compress the hell out of it.
Use 7ZIP to open the apk within the archive (Open Inside). Copy PNGs into framework-res.apkresdrawable-hdpi & framework-res.apkresdrawable-mdpi.
Also, pulldown animation is controlled here, text files cannot be directly modded from 7zip archive.
