ThinkSmart View HA boot animation and splash for LineageOS

Home Assistant boot animation and splash for the Lenovo ThinkSmart View (Lenovo_StarView / starfire) running LineageOS 15.1. Dumped from the original Kingston HA ROM and converted so it displays properly on Lineage and for any orientation.

original/ has the untouched Kingston animations, which don't display correctly on Lineage (letterboxed).

You will need Magisk as well, as this uses a custom module to get around /system hardware write protections. Download the latest Magisk.apk, then: adb sideload Magisk.apk (in recovery), reboot, adb install Magisk.apk, open Magisk app (reboot if missing) and finish the additional setup to patch boot (I chose preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity and Direct Install).

Also assumes you've followed pgale's guide to install LineageOS 15.1 on the ThinkSmart View: https://github.com/pgale/lineage_15.1_Installation_TSV
