I installed cyanogenmod 7 on my droid and the boot logo changed to cyanogenmod one. I want to change it back to the DROID with the eye. I thought that logo was very cool. Is there a way to do that?
Replace the CM7 bootanimation.zip in /system/media folder with the one you want
or
push the droid eye bootanimation into the /data/local folder.
Both ways work.
Can I do this with Astro??
I have not used astro, but you need root permission to push it into /system/media. I use root explorer.
You can use astro to push it into /data/local.
Astro cannot do it without have superuser permissions.

I've read a couple boot animation threads so far, I have a bootanimation.zip file I want to try out. For whatever reason I cannot understand how I am supposed to get it on my phone. My eris is rooted but I'm not sure what next. Do I need adb? can I run these .bat files floating around here from my sd card? For some reason I can't wrap my head around this and it is frustrating, can anyone clarify what a rooted user needs to have/ what commands to run?
Thanks
The easiest way would be to download EStrongs File Manager from the Market. Put the boot animation on your SD card, then open EStrongs and move the zip into the /System/Media folder. Make sure you only have 1 boot animation in the there. Enjoy.

This does not work. It is not possible to copy from the sd card and put a file in my system folder
**edit, I see I needed to give estrong SU permissions. I got it to work just fine. Thank you.
Glad you got it to work, and you're welcome.

or u can use terminal emulator
su (enter)(to get root permisions)
cp /sdcard/(wherever your bootanimation.zip is) /data/local (enter)
reboot (enter)

Bit of a noob to all this, so work with me please...... I'm trying to replace the Cyanogemod boot animation that came with CELB froyo 2.6 rom. I have a new bootanimation.zip copied to my SD card. I'm using ES File Explorer with SU permissions and it wouldn't let me copy new zip file to: /system/media. Says copy failed. If I try to delete the bootanimation.zip in /system/media, it says file can't be deleted.
So then I went to my terminal emulator and typed:
su (enter)
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local (enter)
reboot (enter)
And now I have not boot animation at all. It shows the bootscreen (3 skateboarding droids) then black screen, then lock screen
Where did I go wrong??
Update: removed bootanimation.zip and there was also a bootscreen.zip from /data/local. REbooted and cyanogemod boot screen came back.
I retried the terminal emulator and it worked!

Just an fyi Sometimes you need to re assign SU permissions to estrongs. Just uncheck and then check the mount syst directory as writeable and it will work. Its kinda like re shareing a folder in windows. Sometimes shares drop for no reason or just need to be re shared.
ps. I dont like using the terminal but thanks for the simple commands, I've seen way to many different ways to change the animation. The above cmd's are simple and easy.
ok i have a problem i installed the custom boot android bios and i want a new one but it wont flash the new one i downloaded i tried manually installing but didnt work but i noticed the directories where different one was data/local while the new one was system/media can anyone tell me how to remove my old one ty in advanced
i copied the new "bootanimation.zip" to both directories. In data/local, i had to delete the original "bootanimation.zip". in system/media, i just copied my "bootanimation.zip"
I got the instructions from here:

I didn't use ADB though. I mounted my phone to my comp, copied the files, then used root explorer.
I have rooted my LG Optimus 2x and have tested it by installing apps only for rooted phones. My phone has a bootanimation from the Swiss carrier Swisscom which is getting on my nerves as it also plays some miserable music. I have downloaded a different bootanimation but whe I try to rename the old bootanimation it says "insuffisient permission"....
anyone can help out with this please? There is also a close animation when turning the phone off.
Much appreciated.
Although you have root permissions you still need to mount the directory that the bootanimation is in with read/write permissions. If you have Root explorer this can easily be done.

astro file cant' change the bootanimation!
u can use "root explorer"!
I'm not entirely sure but i think you dont need to have to change the orginal bootanimation.zip
If you put the new one in data/local/ that should work as well. You should try that before you change stuff around.
Search on market for bootanimation. I changed mine aswell.

Do you need any further help? Or did you fix it
Make sure your bootanimation.zip only runs with 15fps and then put it to your sdcard.
Open up adb shell, and make sure you have root.
now use the following command to copy the new bootanimation to your phone:
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip´
If your bootanimation runs with more than 15fps, you will have to make a flashable zip, and flash it to /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Hallo and sorry for the late reply. I was not able to change the bootanimation. I read that I need to change the name of the existing bootanimation.zip, name the new bootanimation.zip and just put it in the system/media using root explorer. is this correct? I do not think i have the knowledge to check the amount of fps and how to make a flashable zip in case its more than 15fps... sorry but it sounds a bit of rocket sience here..
I have found the bootaniation changer lite on Market.. is this something good? anyone tried it?
Your bootanimation does not need to be 15 fps. I have a 30 fps one in data/local and it works just fine.
I was able to root my phone with the program above and i can see an icon of Super User in my screen but even like this i cant change the bootanimation of the device.
When i open the media folder where is the original bootanimatio the permission is only READ.
what file manager are you using?
you can use es fileexplorer from the market(free) than enable R/W so you can replace your bootanimation
Im using File Manager from Rythm.
Using a different File manager would change that? Strange but i will try
Problem solved with ES Explorer.
You can put the boot animation in /data/local anyway, so you don't remove your 'built in' one.
does anyone know how to remove boot sound in my htc desire c with namelless rom installed.....
Simply delete htc_boot.mp3 from /system/customize/resource with Root Explorer.

Better yet, rename to ensure you have a backup. I just renamed mine to htc_boot.mp3.bak
i downloaded a silent mp3 of 5 seconds then named it htc_boot.mp3.
