You need adb working.
Download http://www.multiupload.com/SVHPN9AINF into your tools dir of your sdk (/home/jcase/android-sdk/tools/ - c:\android-sdk\tools\ something like that)
go to command line, and change your dir to the tools dir of your sdk
cd /home/jcase/android-sdk/tools - or something like that
run adb push
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot phone. This will override the boot animation in /system/media
Enjoy.

yay! first post
and install. works. +1 rep.
Thanks Jcase will try when I get home
Any way to backup the original incase I would like to go back?
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip will do it.
the boot process looks in /data/local/ THEN in /system/media. So, if you remove the one you put in /data/local, the original is STILL in /system/media, and is displayed.
Would this work for the Nexus boot animation as long as we change the name of the zip to bootanimation.zip ?
here's the link to the nexus one: sendspace.com/file/0qwx4v
why is it that enevthough I am rooted i get this error when attempting to copy to /system/media?
C:\Users\Derek\Documents\Droid root\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Read-on

mattoxic,
if its in the right format it should
derekm2j,
mount it as read/write
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
or push to data/local

thanks a million my linux is a little rusty. now why would it say no space left on device? I know I dont have to do it this way but the blasted thing is telling me no. Therefore, i want to do it this way.
Ok, this must be for 2.1. Cause I am on 1.5 and it will not work. I keep getting the same boot screen.
Chev, not rooted yet?
Nope, just a little chicken$hit. If there was a way to go back I would.
I have a way back to 1.5 if needed, but it doesnt replace the bootloader.

You have my attention .
I will post details
Where can I get different boot animations? I'm not sure if i like the Nexus one boot animation much.
Thank you! Works for me!
Question-
Can something like this be done for the Lockscreen?

The original bootanimation.zip is under /system/media. You dont really need to back it up if you are doing this the non-root way. Just delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip to revert to the original boot animation.

Nope. Need r/w access to /system for that. Need root.
here's a great site with a ton of boot animations for this way

I'm using the nexus one now and it works great.
As I was following the guide to improve the galaxy's quadrant score, I messed on one of the lines and overwrote the playlogos1 file that was meant to be renamed to playlogosnow.
I'm currently running JM5; do I need a file from the same version or can I take it from something like froyo which I found?
Or will this require me to reflash, and is it safe to do so without the file?
you need this file only to play the startup animation. if you don't care for the animation you can just delete it or replace it with a script (as you did, i suspect?!).
anyway, you can take this file from any firmware to replace your's...
Ah damn. Just to be on the safe side as I had no idea of the file's importance, I've just finished reflashing the firmware to restore it.
Thanks anyway.

you'r welcome ... if you want to do the fix again:
the playlogos1 file ist just the binary that play's the animation. it will be started with root-permissions, so you can replace it to run custom commands as root. in our case we want it to
*) make the loop device and set it up
*) mount the ext2.data file
to make the fix permanent.
mine looks like (you have to make the ext2.data file, format it, copy the data and relink before!!!!):
busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/ext2.data
busybox mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime /dev/loop0 /data/ext2.data_mp
and if you want your sgs to play the startup animation. you have to rename playlogos1 to something else and start it from the script...got it?
but again, if the file is not there (eg. you deleted it) nothing bad will happen, you will just not see the animation. the sound will still play and everything else will be fine
Can anyone provide me with the playlogos1 file, or somewhere that I can get it? I updated my rom and it somehow was erased.

Try OCLF from the market - it used to have a restore playlogo script.

Fix boot screen after one click lag fix:
1: Download playlogosnow megaupload. com/?d=M1N9RFMM
2: place the file on your internal sd.
3: replace (copy past) the file using a root manager in /system/bin
4: reboot
Should have posted this in Q&A....

You better not advice people to brick their phones. Missing playlogo1 causes your sgs wont boot because it freezes trying to load playlogos1. Thanks for the advice, now i have bricked phone.
i have been tried to edit build.prop,
got stuck at bootloop,
did that twice,

For that we need custom recovery, like we had TWRP in GB. Developers are working on it, and soon we will have that. Meanwhile you can reflash whole firmware.
You can try to use zip file from Shaan's root. Just delete system/app, and system/bin, and put build.prop in system folder. But I am not sure if it will work this way.
I attached how I think it should work. If you got any more bootloops editing it, try it.
i cant,i dont have a pc,
i went to my frnd twice and flashed twice today,it feels bad to go to others house
all the time,
another guy sucessfully edit by solid explorer,

Maybe you better wait for custom recovery. With it would be lot easyer. You will have backup to restore.
I just tried it, it is not working because of signature.
Reboot phone In recovery mode, connect usb, run adb shell In PC:
su
mount -o remount system /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot
(Assuming u have a backup build.prop In /sdcard)

I did not try, but I think you can. Just make it CWM compatibile. I have empty zip that is compatibile with TWRP, but I do not know if it is compatibile with CWM. I will try it later.
will wait for you to test
build.zip

This CWM is buggy. When I press option install from SD - it refresh. I needed 3 times to push restart to get phone restarted. I am waiting for fully working CWM, and I will try then. I am not pushing my luck after problems with TWRP last time.
YES solid explorer works,
changed to S2,
RESOLVED
Use another .zip that extract things to system, if u replace files In the cwm zip it wont work because of the update-script inside

Man, you just saved my phone by this zip. Thank you
Hi, I know this is an old h thread but I'm pretty sure this will be handy to someone
Try this app for an easy way to make an update.zip It's still in beta but seems to be working fine on my N7100 so give it a go...
Zip.me can be found here (playstore)

I tried to change the boot animation, running M Preview 3, and despite the fact that the flash claims to have performed successfully, it did not. I'm trying to flash the Marvel boot from the Themes and Apps section, and I know the flashable file worked on 5.1.1. It didn't overwrite the bootanimation.zip in /system/media. At one point, I was able to manually move the file there myselfusing Root Explorer, but I did not realize that the /system partiton did not have enough space to hold the entire zip file, so it was a corrupted zip at that point, and now my boot animation is just "android" in gray lettering. I cleared up enough space to hold the entire zip file of the marvel boot, but now I cannot move the file there, ES File Explorer and Root Explorer simply say it failed to copy.
I just tried to use adb to push the zip file from my computer, but it fails because /system is a read-only file system. So, I tried to remount with a shell as read-write, after some initial issues with apparently /system/xbin/mount not working properly, it did remount as read-write when using /system/bin/mount. But, adb push still fails because /system is a read-only file system.
Code:
mount | grep system
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
But, as you can see, it's mounted as read-write.
I, also, just tried to move the file as root in an adb shell, with no luck. A bootanimation.zip shows up in /system/media, but apparently it is corrupt because I cannot open it with root explorer, or in Windows when I pull it. When I try to move the boot animation that I want, the shell reports that there is not sufficient space, which is true now. The bootanimation.zip takes up 40MB of the 55MB of free space in the /system partition. Any time I try to delete the zip, it is automatically recreated before I have a chance to move anything in it's place, even when I do:
Code:
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip | mv /storage/emulated/0/Download/marvelboot/system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
So, what am I missing? Is it even possible to change the boot animation on Android M? Am I doing something wrong, or not doing something I need to?
why flash it? its a boot animation.. extract it from the zip, then pkace the bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ then just reboot. thats all it takes.
edit.. i didnt read ypur whole post and realuze that yoh have other issues.
Yeah, I wish it was just as easy as flashing or moving the zip file to /system/media/... Normally it is, but with Android M there seems to be a problem?

no, no problem here. do you have full root? i mean do you have the ability to edit anything in /system/?
Everything seems fine according to root checker. And, if I make small changes to my build.prop (Just editing build.id), the changes stick after a reboot. Soooo.. Yes?

so you fo have full root. i use root explorer to put animations into /system/meda/, havent had any issues. does that animation work on a n6?
It worked on 5.1.1. Since I moved to the M Preview 3 builds, it appears to have stopped working.

Go the recovery (TWRP) and then try again to copy the data.
TWRP does mount the storage and you can then use the Windows Explorer to copy the data safely.
Should work.

I did what you told , but my storage space insufficient to copy the backup.
But i have succeded copy the TWRP Back up by accident actually.
What i did , set the twrp folder to chmod 755 and enter then restart phone to recovery again.
TWRP came up and ask wether to keep system as read only or allow system modification.
I set allow , then connect to pc. And it works! Copy drag drop etc work as usual.
However I cannot manually see the TWRP setting for the read/write system... hmm
