I use cyanogenmod 7 rc2 (gingerbread) and had to put my bootanimation.zip to system/media/bootanimation.zip
Perhaps you've to put it there too, because the roms are very similar.

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.

Once ur rooted u could just go into recovery and install the zip manually that's usually how I do it or download the bootloader changer app either requires root

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?

Put your SD-MAGLDR android build into youre card, goto
MAGLDR menu > SERVICES > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir
Now browse & select folder path which already copied by you. Select "Android" folder. Some MIUI build uses "MIUI" folder but most SD build using "Android" folder.
Copied files should be
sdcard/ Android / initz
sdcard/ Android / img....
NOT
sd card/
/initz..

ok ?

Change the name of one of the Android folders to another name (like SenseDroid or MIUIdroid) and then in that build's startup.txt (inside that folder) you must add the line (or change it if the line already exists) rel_path=SenseDroid (or whatever you named the folder).

I can find the backup in the recovery. But there ar eno signs of it anywhere in memory on the pc or phone.. I read it is a problem on 4.2.2... is there a way to fix it..?
If you go to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup it should be there according to some posts, although for some reason not for me.
You should also be able to see it through the recovery itself. Try going into Backup & Restore, and select Restore. It should list the backup(s) you made.

Odp: [Q] After recovery backup I can't find it in memory?
Simple copy recovery file from mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup to any place on SD card (Downloaded for example) than copy that to computer. Remember to reboot Nexus after copy to SD card. Than go to main folder and remove original file and copy on SD. You need root permission to access shell folder!

Try this. Use Total Commander go to system folder tap options in right up corner of screen. Tap there search and write clockworkmod. Remove other search options and tap search. If there is somewhere clockworkmod folder you should see it.

Why don't you try and make one yourself. They're not that hard, especially if you can find the animation you like. Just download a bootanimation.zip, extract it and see what's inside. It'll be pretty self explanatory what you need to do. If you have questions I can help you.
Edit, if you have a link to the s3 one you like let me know. I'll download and let you know what you need to get it to work on the s4.

Instructions for manual installation :
(Take a backup , just in case , not needed actually, ive tested all files) (Make sure you have enabled custom bootanimations , IF not go here - Enable Custom Bootanimations Hit thanks to the dev there)
1.Download manual installation files, rename file to bootanimation.zip
2.Copy files to phone.
3.Backup your current bootanimation from system/media folder and your Poweron.ogg file from system/audio/ui using Root Explorer or other root file managers ,
4.Copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media folder and Poweron.ogg file to system/audio/ui folder , Mount R/W (make it writable) , overwrite the files, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot and Enjoy !
5.Dont forget to hit the thanks button !
confused on the bold part there....
also there is no poweron.ogg in the system/media/audio/ui folder
i just realized i orgot to check if i have custom boot neabled will that cause problems.....

Do you have a file manger like root explorer ot anything? You'll need to change the permissions to rw-r-r of the zip file you put in /system/media
Just put the *.ogg file in, not sure the sound will work or not on the s4
