Alternate method to flash Boot Animation without PC
There is an alternate method to change the Boot Animation for HTC Desire without computer section for abd push.
1. Download Boot Animation Changer Lite, it needs Root.
2. Launch and Choose Change Animation
3. Select any Animation from the list and Install it
4. It'll backup the Stock animation in sdcard\bootanimStock folder as bootanimation.zip
5. Using any File Manager - Astro or Root replace the bootanimation.zip with the desired boot animation file (make sure you name the file as bootanimation.zip)
6. Relaunch the application
7. Choose Advance Settings
8. Select Restore Stock animation and reboot
9. You'd see your desired Boot Animation running
Cheers!!!
Good to know!

How do I flash my bootanimation.zip file through terminal emulator?
Just use root explorer or any other file manager with root rights and copy it. No need to flash.

What of I want to revert? How would I do that through terminal emulator?
what rom are you using? Depending on the ROM, you navigate to where it is with a file explorer, rename the stock to whatever, copy the animation .zip that you want to the same folder (renaming it what the stock was, exactly) and you're done.
Royal Ginger 1.5
So I download the stock boot animation and put the files into the bootanimation.zip file I already have?
I'm assuming you've downloaded a zip file from somewhere. Do not unzip it, just rename it to "bootanimation.zip" and place it in the directory that holds the original bootanimation.zip file. You can always make a backup of the original first.
This may depend on the rom, but usually you can put your new bootanimation.zip file in the /data/local/ directory, and the phone will use that without you having to disturb the original.

You need to be rooted and you need to do it with your device with some kind of file manager like root explorer.

What from you using and what animation you trying to add?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I just dont understand what you mean with: "What from you using"
I tried the SGS2 Bios from OTA app. Before flashing Speedmodkernel, it worked great.
Then I tried to replace the Bootanimation with any other.. I found that thread:
Bootanimation
I downdloaded bootanimation_v2.zip and renamed it into bootanimation.zip, then replaced it like i said in the post before..

My bad, I meant to type rom. Auto correct is killing me. Anyways, depending on the rom you're in, you will have to name the boot animation differently and place it in a specific place also depending on the rom.
If the rom you're in is aosp, then you're naming it right but it will go in system/media.
For sense roms, you will have to rename the boot animation to htc_bootanimation.zip and place it in system/customize/resource.
EDIT: I actually downloaded the boot animation myself, and I think I found the reason probably why is not working. In the desc.txt file, the screen res is wrong for our device. That boot animations res is 480x115, our supposed to be 480x800.
So do this,
Extract the bootanimation.zip you downloaded
Open and edit the desc.txt file with your file managers text editor
Change the res from 480x115 to 480x800 save and exit
Zip back the file, name it correctly, fix permissions and move it to its correctsponding place and reboot. See if that works.

Thanks for your help. But I think this is the SpeedMod Kernel blocking everything...
I tried that bootanimation which I attached just now. The desc.txt file is correct, placed in system/media but it doesn't work.
I am on darkys HD rom. Without the Speedmodkernel everything is fine. to change my THEME I had to flash the supercore kernel and then back to SpeedMod, because when I try it with the Speedmod kernel, nothing happens. Just like the bootanimation, when I try it zu replace and reboot, nothing happens xD
It has to be the Speedmod Kernel. What else?
hi, im rooted and running cm7 but wanting to flash this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036996
but from what i've read this has a custom boot screen,
can someone please link me or upload the zip with the standard nexus s bootanimation so i can go back to that?
thanks
Idk if you still need it, but here you go:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7vm63bexn95u5z1
Do you need help flashing it? Cause it wont work if you just try flashing from the SD card. You need to move it to the media folder first and flash from there. OR if you wanted to use a third party software try: Boot Animation Changer LITE. Download it from market, open, allow super-user permission, select Advanced Settings, select backup animation, close. Mount USB and place bootanimation in "BootanimStock" folder, it should then ask if you want overwrite, yes. Unmount USB, enter BAC app, advanced settings, restore stock animation. And that should do it. Remember ALLWAYS Backup!!!
lol I know it seems kinda counter intuitive but its the only way i could get the free app to work correctly.
**Note I haven't tried this bootanimation myself yet, so sorry if its the incorrect one
Anyone tried to change the boot animation? I assume this can be done by swapping out the appropriate QMG files, correct? Can this be done?

For AT&T phones?
It won't be possible until the bootloader is unlocked.
And even then (and for current Canadian phones), you will need a kernel that supports it.
People over in the sprint section have replaced the boot animation with the international versions boot animation to get ride of the sprint part

How to Restore Original Samsung Boot Animation
This requires Root and a root file manager.
1 - Download and extract the S4_Original_BootAnimation.rar
https://www.dropbox.com/s/41d4csi1eyxvytg/S4_Original_BootAnimation.rar?v=0mcns
Make sure you have R/W permissions in system/media before copying over.
2 - Copy the files from the S4_Original_BootAnimation.zip to the system/media folder replacing the original files.
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
3 - Copy the file from the S4_Original_BootAnimation.zip to the system/media\audio\ui folder replacing the original files
PowerOn.ogg
PowerOff.ogg
(I renamed my originals just to be safe.)
Alternately, if you do not want to download; you can make a copy of, and rename the bootsamsung.qmg bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg that are already located in your system/media folder, and PowerOn.ogg it is already located in your system/media\audio\ui folder
If you want to disable bootup sound go to:
system/media/audio/ui and search for PowerOn.ogg. Just rename it to PowerOn.ogg.backup (or any other extension). Well done!
Reboot your phone and you should no longer see the ATT animations or sound.

Thanks, no more annoying AT&T logo.
Yeah, same. Now I have the original samsung "glowing" animation, and the Old Spice whistle.
Hi. I'm running a Galaxy S4 AT&T with Danvdh's Google Edition 4.4.4 ROM (here). I had just flashed this ROM today, and now I can't get a custom bootanimation.zip file to work. I'll explain what happened.
Before today, I was using his 4.4.2 ROM, and I had no issues with my bootanimation.zip working. Then I decided to try out a TouchWiz-based ROM (Skyfall ROM). I just wanted to compare a Google Edition ROM to a TouchWiz-based ROM. Well, I realized I prefer Google Edition, so today I decided to go back to Dan's GE ROM, updated to 4.4.4. But when I tried to put back my old bootanimation.zip file in /system/media, it wouldn't work! I just get Dan's default boot animation (the Google logo with the spinning circles).
I notice that there are instead two of these bootanimation.qmg files in /system/media folder. I Googled around and found out that these are Samsung's proprietary boot animation files. But here's the strange thing; the boot animation I have right now is Dan's GE animation, not the Samsung boot animation that I would expect from QMG files. How is this possible? I did a complete wipe (I'm using PhilZ recovery) before flashing Dan's ROM after coming from the Skyfall ROM, so why are these QMG files still left behind?
I tried renaming the QMG files (bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg) to disable them. But then I get no boot animation at all, just a black screen, even though I have bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder. So how can I get rid of these QMG files and just return back to a good ol' fashion bootanimation.zip format?

Yes, the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media is set to rw-r--r--. I also have a bootanimation.zip file in /data/local set to the same permissions, but neither of those work. I also tried this fix, but to no avail. All that gives me is a black screen instead of the boot animation, even when bootanimation.zip is still in the right folder with the right permissions.

Don't you love word correction
Not sure what else to tell you. Sounds like the animation is in the right place and setup right.
Edit, do you still have the original sound files? Maybe there messing things up. /system/media/audio/ui. A couple of ogg files. Rename them to .ogg.bak

I tried that. I had several OGG files, most of them seemed to be related to charging or docking or keyboard pressing. In any case, renaming them didn't help. I think at this point I might just re-flash the ROM. Still, I'm perplexed as to why those QMG files were still in my /system/media folder in the first place. I've been using Dan's GPE ROM for a long time now, and I have never seen those files there. I'm pretty sure they must have come from that TouchWiz ROM (Skyfall).
Another weird thing is that I didn't have any bootanimation.zip file to begin with. Previously, like when I was on the 4.4.2 ROM, there was an initial bootanimation.zip file that I'd rename to bootanimation.zip.bak, and then replace with my own bootanimation.zip. And presto, it worked like a charm, quick and easy. This time, there was no initial bootanimation.zip file, just those two QMG files. Yet somehow I still got the Google circle boot animation to play at first startup (this is on a newly-flashed ROM, mind you; I haven't even installed gapps yet, let alone any other modifications).
Any thoughts on this?
