Changing Bootanimation/Startup sound

Hi I have a rooted Nexus One FRF91 Build
I want to change the bootanimation and startupsound
I was able to change the bootanimation through ADB because the ROOT version was not working.
Same with the startup sound, is it even possible to have a startup sound on a nexus one?
Guide would be nice, also is there some secret thing I need to know, I am rooted tried the guides but it did not work.

Take whatever bootanimation you want, copy to /system/media/bootanimation.zip (overwrite the system one).
If you want to retain system bootanimation but still overwrite it - copy to /data/local/bootanimation.zip instead (might not work - I'm not sure if it's ROM-specific).
Don't know about the startup sound, living perfectly without one.

My inquiry was based of this (from adroidfourms .com)
I bolded the part I didn't understand/possible reason it is not working for me
PLEASE NOTE: You must be rooted. You must reboot in order for these changes to take effect. You should have Root Explorer (although I am sure there is a way with ADB commands as well though). You may want to create a backup (CWM or the like), just in case. Also, most of the people I have seen do this are running a version of Dirrk's/jt's kernel, which allow boot/shutdown animations to be changed. The kernel you are currently using when attempting to change the animations must allow for them to be changed for this to work.
The file needed to change your boot-up animation should be a .zip file.
I successfully changed my bootup animation by doing the following:
Boot-up animation:
1) download a new boot animation .zip file (I put mine in /sdcard/downloads)
2) open Root Explorer
3) navigate to where you put the new .zip
4) copy the new .zip
5) paste it into /data/local
6) rename it "bootanimation.zip." (if it isn't already)
Also, if you want to change the startup/shutdown sounds:
Startup sound:
1) DL a new sound file
2) convert to a .wav file (using Winamp+.wav converter/iTunes)
3) put on SD card
4) open Root Explorer
5) navigate to /system/etc
6) rename "PowerOn.wav" to "PowerOn.wav.old"
7) navigate to where you placed the DL'ed .wav file
8) copy
9) paste into /system/etc
10) rename it "PowerOn.wav"
Shutdown sound:
1) DL a new sound file
2) convert to .ogg file (I used Winamp+.ogg converter)
3) put on SD card
4) open Root Explorer
5) navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
6) rename "shutdown.ogg" to "shutdown.ogg.old"
7) navigate to the DL'ed .ogg file
8) copy
9) paste into /system/media/audio/ui
10) rename it "shutdown.ogg"

[BOOT ANIMATION ] sci fi android boot animation + easy instructions

after trying several bootanimations i liked this the most...
see video
ww.youtube.com/watch?v=OgcfgvdzSso
download file
instructions:
1) download the bootanimation.zip file to your sd card.
2) use root explore (android market) as this can write to the system
top of screen, tap the mount button to r/w
then replace by copy/paste bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource
there is ur original bootanimation.zip file.
it will ask to overwrite the bootanimation select yes
then hightlight new bootanimation select permissions
user needs to be ticked as read and write
group needs to be ticked as read
others also ticked as read
press ok
reboot
these folder locations are for the sense based roms or stock
for cyanogen/aosp just need to place the bootanimation in /data/local/
people who cant buy the app root explorer because of recession ( but can buy DHD ) just use super manager ( download from market ) . you have to enable root in settings and enable r/w when asked.
enjoy

thanks - this is cool
I like it a lot
Have installed it
Android Flashed tool is great for this
But you do need to remove battery to reboot or is is stuck with the animation running.

i still don't understand how to install it. Where do i copy and paste the animation from. Because root explorer doesn't explore the sd card does it?

copy it from the location you downloaded it. ( if you are not familiar with root explorer try super manager )
paste to the location
/data/local/ ( since you have cm rom )
for sence rom paste it to location
/system/customize/resource

Root explorer explores ALL spheres of your phone... Scroll down after you press root explorer. You should see " sdcard ".. Hope this helps ;o)

[Guide] How to extract bootanimation.zip from apk (CM theme engine)

​
Hello People,
Today i am going to show you how to extract bootanimation.zip from apk. So lets begin,
You would want to apply custom boot animation like the CM theme engine but as the animations in cyanogenmod are in apk format, you cannnot apply them on other Roms. But now don't worry now i have got a way to apply them to non-cyanogenmod devices.
Requirements :
Boot animation apk. I will use the one given below.
File explorer (I would use Es file explorer)
Steps :
Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.*
Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.*
Now*go to the root folder and navigate through system>media.**Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...
Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.*
Note :
You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.
