Data/Local?
The boot animation sits in System/Media. That's where I push mine too

It works either place, but anytime you flash a new rom it will overwrite the boot animation in system/media

greatly improved, thanks!
I pushed the bootanimation.zip with "adb push bootanimation.zip /Data/Local" and it said the file was transferred, but nothing seems to have happened. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I got it by trying a few different things at once. Not sure what I threw at it to make it stick, but something worked
Thanks. Big Improvement!
When you run the "adb push bootanimation.zip System/Media", where does the bootanimation.zip need to be placed initially?
Sorry for the noob question
Nice one. Thanks

The format for the command is:
adb push <full path to source file> <full path to destination>
Hence where you put is is up to you, given that the example usage just states "bootanimation.zip" then it will look for that file in the current working directory.
Also note that the destination should be "/system/media" (no caps)
Cool thanks a lot!

I decreased how fast the animation happens so it doesn't look like such a jump when the kernel is finished loading
i used Root explorer to copy bootanimation.zip to system/media and i tried data/local as well
i just renamed the original to bootanimation.zip.bak
but it doenst seem to be working =/
I tried both folders but it still looks like the low res boot animation
do i HAVE to use adb to push the file? I thought root explorer would be the same because i mount the drive as R/W before copying. Or maybe it has to do with permissions...
I'm using AndroidHD 1.3.1 ROM which supposedly supports custom bootanimations too btw

There is no change in resolution,
It would be impossible for me to upres the bootanimation without completely recreating it
Right ok, thanks very much
Any chance of some screens?

If your particular ROM has a non-HTC bootanimation and you wish to return to the original HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' version just do this...
Copy the appended file to the tools directory of android-sdk on your desktop PC. If you don't have android-sdk Google, download and install it.
Connect your phone by USB to your PC; select Synchronize on your phone when prompted and wait for the phone to settle and OK any prompts.
On your PC, open an xterm window on linux or run cmd -w on Windoze to get a terminal window
cd to your android-sdk/tools directory -Replace your own path in the following line!!!
Code:
cd /usr/bin/android-sdk-linux_86/tools
(the following commands are for linux; for windoze miss off the ./)
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb remount
the following line moves bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak so you have a backup of the ROM customiser's artwork.[
Code:
./adb shell mv /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.bak
now we are going to upload the HTC bootanimation.zip to replace the one we've just renamed and set file permissions.
Code:
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
./adb shell chmod 0644 /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
just to check...
Code:
./adb shell ls -la /system/customize/resource/boot*
should show two lines for bootanimation.bak and bootanimation.zip with each line starting -rw-r--r--
When you reboot your phone you should now have HTC's animation.
Just remember the bootanimation is not located in system/.... Sometimes it's located in data/local and in SenseHero it's located in system/media/bootscreen and then it's gif files so this doesen't work for SenseHero Nice guide BTW Also have you thaught about putting it into an update.zip to make it easier?

Here is an update_signed.zip of that bootanimation.zip.

To work on the Villain Rom - bootanimation.zip must be in /system/customize/resource/

actually that doesen't work for any ROMs. No ROMs has bootanimation.zip located there
Have a look at this thread as 1.5 bootscreens do actually work on 2.1 ROMs.
(You need to know where the bootanimation.zip is stored on your ROM first, as this needs to be removed.)
A signed update zip is appended which will return the Villain 12 Rom to HTC's 'Quietly Brilliant' animation.
This is ONLY for Villain 12. It over writes Villains boot animation so if you want to keep that as an alternative the adb push method above will be better.
It has been tested.
Thanks a lot, I've been trying to change my boot logo for some time now but didn't realise that VillainROM's was in a different location.

That is irrelevant, as it will work from /system/media in any ROM.
Can somebody sum up instructions to change the bootscreen on a VillainROM 12 for the GSM Hero? Things are getting a bit messy...

VillainRom puts bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource. It is the second boot screen to load.
To replace the VillainRom bootanimation with HTC's 'Quietly Brilliant' just run the update file appended.

Okay that's what I thaught What I meant with the first post was that if you just flash it i'ts not going to change the bootanimation straight away unless you put the bootanimation.zip in the folder where it's located by default

That's right yes. You need to remove the old one first. If it is a bootanimation.zip from 2.1 it needs to go where the original one was located. If it is a bootscreen folder from 1.5, it needs to go in /system/media.
Even if you flash an update.zip from 1.5 to change the bootscreen in a 2.1 ROM, you need to delete the bootanimation.zip from wherever the dev has located it in your ROM.
I am currently running VillianROM 12.0.0 and have just flashed the HTC bootanimation file without removing the original bootanimation.zip file.
Thought I would try this to see what would happen. I backed up my phone then flashed the update, rebooted and the new HTC boot screen was there.
I just checked and the original bootanimation is still in it folder, system/customize/resource.
I'm running a pretty clean install,only a few days old.
Hopefully this helps.
For those who would like to have Nexus One boot animation for your G2 ROMs
Requirements:
Permanent root (S-OFF)
adb OR RootExplorer
Recommendations:
NanDroid backup – Part of Clockwork Recovery
Instructions:
Download the bootanimation.zip attached in this thread and save it to your adb tools folder
Use adb to push it to your phone (see commands below)
If you'd like to keep the original boot animation but want the Nexus boot animation as default, use these commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb reboot
If you'd like to replace the current boot animation, use the commands below:
Code:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
Sorry, if this is repeated.
I take NO credit for this. This is all what I've found and learned from the forum. I thought I should share it with you guys. Enjoy!
Thank you for this. I had been wanting the N1 boot animation since moving to the G2 and here it is I installed it, and it worked fine. However, I did so in recovery via adb (had to do adb shell mount /data first though).
Probably will be doing it again once I have CM 6.1.0 installed.

You could try using boot animation changer lite from the market. Pretty easy to use and it backs up the stock animation if you want to revert.

Okay, I'm still trying to figure out how these worked. I took that boot animation by modifiying it (removing some of the pictures), renaming in order, and made sure the desc.txt was in the right format, then I write it back to /system/media. What am I missing here on how this works?
I've pushed the boot animation to these 3:
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
I've attached the file I'm trying to write if you can see anything wrong it it. Thanks!

Nevermind about this. I finally found out how to fix it. I mounted the /system file in terminal emulator, then manually copied and pasted the bootanimation into those 3 places from my sd card. But do you know where I can find the boot sound?
Got it. It's all in the /system/customize/resource folder. The audio is "android_audio.mp3"

Last question, and I can put this to rest, so hopefully someone can answer it. What is the deal with the desc.txt file? I tried editing using both notepad (which I heard corrupts it) and wordpad, but it screws everything up. Here is the current settings:
512 256 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
And I'm trying to get it to be only 20 fps as so:
512 256 20
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Is there a reason it won't work when I do that?

Well, since nobody seems to help, I kept looking and looking and hopefully I can help someone who is just as confused.
It was not the editing of the desc.txt file that caused the problem. It is when you zip the files, do not zip it with any compression. Simply zip it as a "store" option, and you should be fine if everything else is all set.
Thanks i love the boot animation!

okay. Different method. Download this (rename it to splash1.img for simplicity) and put in c: and download the fastboot.exe attached and put it in c: (remember to unzip it)
boot into fastboot mode (power off, hold back + power) and plug in via usb
open cmd and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash slpash1 slpash1.img
uhm, you do realize, that kuljit55 wants to change the bootanimation, not the splash-screen?
Can't help you with your question tho.
Edit: I'm having the suspicion, that you just need to drop the zip-file into /data/local .
crap, my bad got confused (that's why I gave android flasher in the first place).. lol sorry ^_^
In /data/local or /system/media you should find a file called bootanimation.zip. Replace this file with yours and reboot. Now you should see the new bootanimation.

Nope, not in Oxygen. I think the oxy-bootanimation is in the framework-file, but if you put a bootanimation.zip into /data/local, your phone should show this animation during bootup instead of the original one

Yeah, that's right. Had a bootanimation.zip file in /data/local from old theme there. I just deleted it, rebooted and the original bootanimation is shown. By implication this means, when you put a bootanimation.zip in /data/local, this one should be shown.

Thanks to everyone awesome help now sorted.... tnx
I have been banging my head against the wall for days now regarding this problem and can't quite figure it out. I created my own boot animation and was able to get that running just fine. I wanted to add a boot sound as well, so I did my homework and followed the instructions to a T. I resolved an error that I was getting while running the command sh bootsnd.sh, but even after it ran successfully I still was left with no boot sound. In the /system/media folder I have an mp3 named android_audio.mp3. I also verified that the build.prop file in the system folder had the line ro.config.play.bootsound=1 in it as well. I am currently running CM9 RC2 on my T-Mobile G2. Is there something I am missing? Can the G2 even play boot sounds? Has anyone gotten boot sounds to run on their G2? If so, how? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated and thank you all in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

I double checked to make sure, but yeah the permissions were set correctly.
I can run the command 'stagefright -a -o /system/media/android_audio.mp3' from the terminal and it plays the sound without a problem.
Any other suggestions?
Are you calling it in desc.txt inside the bootanimation? I'm sure that's a part of it.
-Nipqer
I don't know if this makes a difference at all, but in the rom I use (EliteMod ICS, modified CM9 kernel, AOKP rom), seems you need to only place an boot_audio.mp3 file into /system/media/ , much like how you place boot animation.zip in /system/media, and chmod 644

I did some additional research and did find a few references to adding the audio to the desc.txt file by adding a line like this 's android_audio.mp3' to it. I tried doing this and it borked the entire thing. On the reboot I saw the HTC logo, then was met by a black screen with no sound for a few moments before my home screen appeared.

There is something wrong with the boot animation in the 720 folder. Install the one from the 800 folder. I looked in both files and they are identical except the one in the 800 folder works, the one in the 720 folder doesn't. I also adb pushed the file onto my phone so I don't know if there'll be a difference using apps like root explorer, but try it out and see if it works.
Edit: also place it in /system/media
So you guys got the 800 file to work? Method?
I had the same problem, used the 720 from the other thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846845 pushed it with adb to /system/media and it works now
