I have been looking around and have seen some different apps that say they can change it, and other hacks to do it.
What is the easiest way to change the animation boot screen?
Currently right now when I boot up, I see the HTC Quietly Brilliant image, and then a blink and it shows the same thing, but animated. The animated one I want to change.
You must be rooted to perform this otherwise it won't work.
I think that 'boot animation changer' can handle it.

Yes you can
Theirs also an option to import any other anime you download from within the app
Yes, I know all that.
I am asking what the quickest and easiest way to do it is.
And how well does that App work with the Desire?

unless your using a rom that has symlinked the bootanimation.zip to data/local as aposed to /system/customise/resorce/ there is no app that can change the bootanimation.zip, you will have to do it manually using adb
Didn't he just say boot animation changer can do it?

unpack the .zip and look inside, see if bootanimaton.zip is in data/local or system/customise/resorce
So I found this fantastic boot animation, and decided I wanted to change. I searched around, and found a method where you replaced 'bootanimation' in system/bin and changed permissions to 777. It did not work. Then I tried the old, Samsung firmware method and it worked!
Here are the steps (using Root Explorer):
1. Find a suitable bootanimation.zip
2. Place it in data/local
3. Reboot!
You can of course place it there using any other method. No need to modify any permissions. It should work.
Thanks dude

An alternate location /system/media is used if there is no bootanimation in /data/local .

Also Boot animation at /data/local overrides boot animation at /system/media .

CM7 didn't have anything in data/local (bootanimation related).

Ah.. So it is basically like a 'clean slate'. You mod it the way you want. Plus if you're okay with having the stock thingy, as rebooting phones is a very rare activity in daily, normal usage, it saves at least an MB of space.
I'm using absolute system in market..can change boot animation and fonts too..its work on sga

And this works with CM7 too, right? Needs root?
EDIT: Checked the app. Nice alternative, if you want to avoid the hassles of manually changing bootanimation.zip.

That would be on General.
you can edit even files in .zip file to make a style bootanimation
Quite useful. Thanks!

That's probably because our actual boot animation is bootanimation_sprint.zip and we have a bootanimation.zip for the lg logo. You'll have to change a name in whatever zip you are applying. Then it should work.... or if not we'll have to change something in whatever tells the system which ones to flash. (build.prop?)

Should have specified... did you renamethe zip file IN the zip file and then zip them both back up properly?
Edit: Dangit... didn't work. I've tried a lot of stuff now... I'm going to try editing the sprint bootanimation itself next.
Edit 2: Holy crap its after 5 am
Ok i finally got it.. I think I had a couple bad boot animations. Just renamed the animation to bootanimation_sprint.zip, didn't bother with the normal bootanimation.zip yet. Set it to 644 (rw/r/r) permissions. I successfully got this one to work, for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764 Here is the actual boot animation file that should be fine to put in system media without renaming. Just check the permissions: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31205865/bootanimation_sprint.zip It wouldn't be too hard to make a flashable one but I couldn't find any that used the right script and its almost 6 am. goodnight.
That boot animation is the original nexus boot up screen.

I got it partially working, it pops up for about 20% of the animation now.

That's how mine was. Maybe we can ask around on the nexus 4 forum or OG for at&t?

Did you guys read the thread? I didn't actually try it myself but you have to like change the permissions on the files, etc, it's kind of an ordeal.

Yes, I was messing with the permissions and none of them work except for the one they mention in that thread. It has to be something with the images..

This looks just like the one on my Nexus 7. I take it the Nexus 4 is the same, or is this boot animation not from the N4?
Hi folks, this is the famous google bootanimation, just download it, and move it to system/ media
i used root explorer,really don't matter what do you use, just put in in that route,give the permissions and reboot...
screens... and BTW thanks to @vocoderism, i extracted the bootanimation that he used on his rom (this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614690)
if i break a rule just tell me and i will delete the post... see you...
(mount R/O)
And if you like, just say it, or press thanks.. however
I don't see a download link.

this will replace the bootanimation of motorola(the world) and don't affect your bootlogo
Thanks for this!
I can only seem to get part of the animation working. I turn the phone on and i get a world and google screen. After about 5 seconds the GPE boot animation then starts. Could this be down to your unlocked bootloader message fix that ive applied?
Thanks.

i cant seem to replace my bootanimation. Im using ES File Explorer, and it's saying directory is "read-only"! is there any workarounds in here? I used to replace my old phones bootanimation, and ES File Explorer worked just fine..

In ES File Explorer, click on settings(top left) and scroll down to Root Explorer. Toggle it to on(if not already) and then click the words "Root Explorer". This will bring up a menu. Select "mount r/w" then select r/w for the system partition.
It was simpler in older versions of es.
Thanks!

No, just put the new bootanimation and accept overwrite.
I tried both ways and it was not
/data/local/moodle/
That's correct location of boot animations if you have installed Motorola boot services
