How to compile an AOSP project with my own custom bootanimation?

Question

I'm trying to compile AOSP with a custom bootanimation, but with no success. And I just have run out of approaches... To change bootanimation, I've already done:

1. created a .zip file with the following structure: bootanimation.zip { desc.txt part0 { 000.png, 001.png, ... ..., 010.png } part1 { 011.png, 012.png, ... ..., 021.png } }

2. edited permissions on system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h

3. placed the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/

However, when Android boots up, it just shows the Google trademark, skipping the boot animation. Can someone point what I'm missing?

PS: I'm successfully compiling AOSP. It boots up with all features ok. My problem is only with bootanimation customization on the compiled project.

Ok. I've solved my problem. The issue was that besides all the things I've done, the bootanimation.zip file MUST be compressed with store method.
