There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. Some are already set up as a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. You can search through the Themes and Apps sections for others, but I use this way:
Be sure to have the Android SDK installed on your computer.
Download, and place the bootanimation.zip file in the TOOLS folder of the SDK.
Then the following ADB CODE:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
You're all set!
If there is no corresponding mp3 file, no need for the 3rd command line

wouldn't that location be different depending on if it's a sense or aosp rom?

That I am not sure of, as I have always used sense based ROMS for the 4gees.
I know that Pushboot has a separate batch file for CM6, so I am fairly sure that there is a different dir.

Root Explorer works well for me when ADB is not available.
Just download, rename appropriately, and move to /system/customize/resource (or wherever your ROM stores these things).

That's what I did way back when. I ran a search in astro for bootanimation.zip first (to find the old one that I was replacing), because I didn't know where to move it to back then.
wow. dejavu.

[BOOTANIMATION] 3D HoneyComb

I found this awesome boot animation on nook color forum and I modified it for my G1 device.
I have not created the animations, I just modify them as per my choice.
Thought of sharing this on this forum.
Instructions:
** Please take a nand backup - I am not responsible for any goof ups.
a. Copy bootanimation.zip on root of your sdcard
b. Go to Terminal Emulator
c. Type following commands: (Press enter after each line)
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
It is working on my G1 phone running Ginger Yoshi RC6
Hope you like it.

Never tried it, but think it will work. Do a nand backup and try it.

Yes you can. Just make a copy of current boot animation then copy and paste this over the original boot

Did you try wiping then recovering
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

For future reference, when you're working from recovery:
adb shell mount system
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell umount system
adb reboot

So, I was going to replace my framework-res(don't ask why), but I wanted to keep a backup of it. So, I renamed it framework-res.apk1, and was planning to put the modded one in /system/framework. But, once I renamed it, everything crashed. I got a bunch of Chinese/Japanese writing(don't ask me why ). Now nothing will open and my notification bar is gone. Anyways, I rebooted into recovery and mounted from there(because it wouldn't mount). Now I need to know how to install framework-res.apk to /system/framework using adb. I tried:
I've never needed to install an apk with adb, so I don't even know if thats the right code.
EDIT: I used:
to move it to /system/framework
I tried using
but it just gives me the list of option for adb(like when you first open it)
EDIT:
I tried to make it RW by using:

Great! Now it won't even get to the boot animation. Its stuck on the White and orange Kindle Fire screen(before it gets to the boot animation)

Yeah like stated above, you need to use adb push because you are just moving it not actually installing it.

also a tip for replacing your framework.
put new framework.apk on sdcard then with root explorer copy or move to the main directory and fix permissions, then move to framework and paste, it will ask if you want to over write other apk say yes, your phone will reboot with the new framework apk.
if you want a backup just copy the original first and save it somewhere else.

use root explorer....go into system/apps .....copy the joyphone.apk there......set permission to r-r-r
reboot the phone.....go to dilar it will ask ...to use joy or stock...choose joy...and save it ..
your done...you may delete the old phone.apk...if you plan not to use it

It means to use ADB to push the .apk file to the /system/app directory.
The commands to do that are:
adb remount (read/write access)
adb push [apk_name_here].apk /system/app

There is no joyphone.apk..!!
What should I push exactly..??

Either with adb the command is "adb push joyphone.apk /system/app/joyphone.apk"
Or easier way if you don't know adb is to use a file manager to copy n paste it into system/app, set permissions to rwrr if your file manager doesn't automagically set them for you and it should work, I presume from reading kools post that you need to delete the other phone.apk.

You don't need the joyphone.apk at the end. Just thought I'd point that out.
Sent from my XT615 using xda premium

Indeed.
Having the .apk at the end of the path is only useful if the original one has a different name or extension.
Example.
adb push randomname.apk /system/app/newname.apk
This will push randomname to /system/app and rename it to newname.apk
it's also useful for when your theme-ing stuff and have the .apk renamed to .zip
adb push framework-res.zip /system/framework/framework-res.apk
This will push the .zip file to /system/framework and change the extension to apk

[Q] replace framework-res.apk?

Was just wondering if there is a way to replace the framework with just using root without a custom recovery for the stock Rom?
On my s3 I couldn't do it with just root don't know if that would work on this or if I might have missed something.

All you need is to be rooted, it does not matter if you have custom recovery or not.
You can install any apk's since you do not need to go into recovery to install apks.

When I tried with root only before on a different phone I used root explorer to replace.
But when I went to paste it in the folder the phone locked up and rebooted.
Was that not the right way to do it?
Maybe using adb terminal would be better and not cause it to lock and reboot when I paste over the existing framework-res.apk.
Being in the system directory causes some issue with being that is also a constant used file.

The framework-res.apk should be installed like any other app
unless the OP of wherever you got it from gives instructions
to "copy" it to the /system/app folder.
Why not do it the default normal way? just double click on it
when you are in root explorer and it should install like any
other app. If it gives an error, then you can copy it.
If you "copy" it you have to fix permissions and you have to
change the attributes of the /system/app folder so it's "read and write".
NOTE: if there is an existing framework-res-apk in /system/app
delete it with root explorer before doing any of the above.

Framework-Res.apk must reside in system directory. /system/framework to be exact.
Easiest way to do it without locking up is with adb.
You were right OP that it locks up because it's consistently being used. When I make my mods and such to the framework, this is how I quickly get it to the device.
adb remount (if the kernel supports it in other words, anything but stock)
Turn phone screen on
Adb shell stop (your phone should now have a black screen. This command stops all running threads except the one for adb)
Adb push framework-Res.apk /system/framework
Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell start
You should now see the boot animation then the prompt "android is upgrading"
If you do not have adb remount option (it returns with permission denied)
Copy new framework Res apk to root of internal sd card.
Adb shell stop
Adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
Adb shell cp /sdcard/framework-Res.apk /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell start
Just a pointer, disregard my capitalization. Only capitalize when needed.
This method should get everything copied successfully. Any issues just post back!

Oh thank you very much.
I will give that a try and sounds exactly like what I was looking for.

Not sure if this is really relevant but...
When I had the samsung vibrant, I used root explorer to make a copy of my framework-res.apk. I extracted the entire thing, found my battery icon files, replaced them with different images given the same name, then repacked the file. Then I copied it back to the original folder to replace the original apk and my phone immediately shut off and rebooted. When it came back I had my new battery icon working just as I had hoped. I was rooted running stock.

Wait... Are you saying that I can simply copy the framework-res.apk from SlimKat and use it on a Google Play Edition ROM?
I'm going to try it!
