Nice.
Did you know you can copy bootanimation.zip to /data/local/ and it will be used?
No need to backup your original one.

Yes, I know. I do it this way, because I don't want my boot animation to take space on my data partition.
You forgot to mention (for those who don't know) to change the permissions to rwx-r-r.
OK ...
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
Rooted via SuperOneClick
Current ROM I am test driving on my phone is PWGB beta version (latest v 10/2011)
red versionCWM and verified I have busybox install.
installed Astro File Manager & Dual File Manager XT & Terminal Emulator.
MY NEED FOR ANSWERS:
I have a new bootanimation.zip stored on my SD card Id like to try out.
current ROM uses bootanimation file that is located in [/system/media/bootanimation.zip]....
the [/system] folder did not have the permissions that would allow me to move the current bootanimation zip and insert my new bootanimation zip.
Looks like the /system folder permissions were set at 0755 showing via "terminal emulator"
looks like I was successfull at changing the folder permissions to 0777 via
su[ENTER]mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system[ENTER]
chmod 0777 /system[ENTER]
but in order to get my new bootanin.. zip to transfer over to new location from my sdcard, went to move it with the [-i] option and TE displays [failled -Cross -linked Device] error message....
I am at a loss at this point to get the project done...
YES I AM A NOOB... I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU GUYS... THANKS IN ADVANCE for your answers...,
This is what i do when i want to change my boot animation.
First of all, go to the market and install "Root Explorer".
Now put the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card. (I personally use DropBox to download it and store it on my SD card).
Go into Root Explorer, and into the /system/media/ folder and click the little "Mount R/W" button at the top of the app (this changes the permissions, allowing you to copy/move and add files to the system partition), and change the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimationold.zip (simple way of backing it up, in case anything goes wrong, or you simply wanna switch back).
Now go to your SD card (still in root explorer) and copy the new bootanimation.zip, go back into the /system/media/ folder and simply paste it.
Click on the new bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to
User: X X -
Group: X - -
Others: X - -
(Where "X" is permission granted, and "-" is no permission)
Press Ok, and click the "Mount R/O" button in the top of the app, and exit Root Explorer. All done.
Now reboot your device and see the glorious new bootanimation
PS: If there is anything wrong with the bootanimation.zip, it will simply show a black screen after the initial splash screen. So simply wait, and let your device boot like normal.
did not work...
I managed to rename the old boot animation zip and I managed to place the new bootanimation.zip into the same folder.... /system/media/bootani.....
I rebooted the phone but still the OLD boot anima remains and active. the NEW bootanimation file is indeed there but the phone does not act like it.
I went to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and reboot....nada still no new boot animation.
I took on this small project of changing my boot animation because it looked to be so simple. I got the new boot animation file from a thread of a collection of boot animations and the instructions said to just place on SDcard and install via CWM....needless to say that did not work, so the journey went to where I am now....
id like to know how to replace the boot animation on my streak 5 thanks
Look in /system/media for a file named bootanimation.zip Replace it with the one of your choosing (make sure it is named bootanimation.zip), and set permissions to rw_r__r__
Alternately, you can place it in /data/local set the permissions and leave the one in the system partition alone. Use a root enabled file explorer or adb.

Super thanks but how do i do the above "set permissions to rw_r__r__" im feeling kinda stupid now
Are you rooted? If so, the following command will take care of it with adb:
adb shell chmod 0644 /data/local/bootanimation.zip
replace /data/local with /system/media if thats where you placed it
If you don't have adb setup or don't know what it is, take a look at the flashing guide in the wiki. It is invaluable.

Hi.I was trying to change bootanimation on my android without root.So I had searched Google and tried one method which was "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local" .By running that command through adb I got Permission denied Error.I tried another one.I first flashed twrp and through that I changed permission to read write execute.When I was in twrp mode I connected to my computer and changed bootanimation by removing the old bootanimation and add new bootanimation by running above adb command.When I restarted new bootanimation was not loaded even though I changed permission to rw-r-r but it was loading stock bootanimation.I had a doubt whether new bootanimation is applied or not.So when my phone was in normal mode I connected to my computer and through adb I run this command "adb pull bootanimation.zip C:".This command created a backup of my bootanimation to my computer.When I viewed the backed up bootanimation file it was new bootanimation file.But why is not getting applied or loaded on booting of phone?

bootanimation.zip is available in /data/media. Replace the bootanimation.zip over there with yours.
