I've downloaded a bootscreen and wanted to know how to manually delete it.
Go to system/media. Then delete the bootanimation.zip file there.

Within the phone I have removed media/boot.img however there is no bootanimation and the bootscreen is still there.
There will be a something caleed *.qmg file. I don't remember exactly the name. Which is the dwfault bootanimation file I guess.

Nothing similar to this was found.
Within the system/media I did find it, was first looking in the wrong spot. However it doesn't let me delete the file or rename it. How do I remove it?
You will need root to delete it.
First remount /system to a writeable state and then delete the file or rename it.
Some advertising:
You can use my app to do that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013063
Start the app, go settings check "Remount /system", restart my app, browse to /system and delete or rename the file.

You will have to use an app or adb. If you don't know how to change boot animations properly, then you should probably stick with an app - no offense. If you're using Root Explorer, select the "mount r/w" button at the top. When you're finished, mount r/o the same way. Otherwise, the app mentioned in the post above mine will work. Do you have a different boot animation to replace it with? If you want the boot animation that came with the rom, just reflash the rom over itself. Just wipe cache and dalvik (don't wipe data) and you'll be good to go.

I'm fine with the change but I want to delete this (which appears before the animation screen):
If you mean the first non animated picture you see once your phone starts, thats your splashscreen! The only way to get rid of this or swap it is to root your phone, & enable a Engineered Hboot & also get s-off otherwise you cannot get rid of it! Then you can use a program via your computer called Android Flasher to flash the splashscreen to your phone (just google it) thats what i use with my desire hd!
Hope this helps

in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.
If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.
After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.
ex: system/framework/
- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.
- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen
- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)

it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.

This zip folder contains all of the media Ive used in past themes for the G1 and the Nexus One. Just open the zip file and copy the media folder to the root of your SD card. So it looks like: sd card\media\audio\......
It may take a minutes for the media to show up to select, to be on the safe side you can always just reboot your phone. Either way enjoy!

C'mon man, using the root explorer is how I was able to find the file. I'm sure you read where I said "I can NOT nav to it when connected to the PC" this would have indicated I found the file with the root explorer.
root explorer will not allow rename, delete of any alteration.
If someone has any suggestions how to get rid of this file Please let me know

dased14 was referring to the android app root explorer...search market. It has nothing to do with deleting something over USB. The app will let you move, rename, or delete files from system as long as you have root access and enable the r/w setting.
There are certainly many other file explorers that can do this if you prefer another. Many of them at least have an option to enable root access.

Yes yes yes I am using got d s file explorer now that is how I found the file,

I can we see the file when using the android file explorer.
However the file explorer does not allow renaming or any other alterations and I don't know why nor do I care, I only want to get rid of the bastard Goblin
I think you have been given the instructions.. but not reading...
If you can't change the the r/o to r/w of the directory you are in.. using Root explorer.. on your phone.. to delete this file..
Then you don't have root access and you are screwed as you don't own/control what's on your phone..

You shouldn't have to mess with permissions. Just put your bootanimation.zip in /system/media just like the one that's already there and replace it.
^ Shift Faced
Don't forget to rename it the same as the one you are replacing. you can just pu old in the name of the original and leave it there and when the phone boots it will recognize the new bootanimation.zip. Abd if it doesn't work for some reason you can change the name back and you should be back to normal.
The problem I'm having is that every time if I try to place it there I get a system is read only folder error

Probably. I've never had to change the permissions myself. If you're using Root Explorer then mount r/w then long press on the file and choose Permissions. Change them to match below:

I actually just literally changed my boot animation back to the BIOS one after upgrading to CM7.1
Hook the Shift up to your computer with USB Debugging on
Have the boot animation you want on the root of the SD card called bootanimation.zip
Open up CMD, cd to where you have adb set up
From there do this
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
To test it: adb shell bootanimation
Works for me everytime
Thought I would post up some boot splash screens I cooked up for my personal use.
Note: I am not responsible if these files F**k up your phone, impregnate your wife/sister/mother/dog/cat etc.. Flash at your own risk!
Thanks to tribalartgod and mudknot2005 for the knowledge.
How to install:
1. Download and unzip the file somewhere on your PC.
2. Copy the PD98IMG.zip file you extracted to the root of your SD card.
3. Reboot to bootloader.
4. Once the PD98IMG.zip file has been found, press Vol up to flash it.
5. Reboot

You cant flash this through recovery because its not a zip file. Best thing to do is get a program like androidcommander and copy the file over manually. (the program does the adb commands for you)
the file needs to go in system/app and cant be installed like a regular apk.

Sorry,but could you explain further? I have root, and copy file to system/app wit root explorer, and cant install it...And I lost system bar now...Any help?
I can't get this to work either.
Androidcommander says I don't have root access even though I'm rooted, and the FAQ infers that I'll have to wipe my phone completely with a new flash and a modified boot.img to get Root Access (which would also require me to learn about editing ROM images).
I did get Busybox though, and I backed up my SystemUI.apk from before... after killing it off from the system/app folder I noticed I can at least restore the old one by installing it as a normal application... but getting this new one simply hasn't been working for me.
Ugh... patience is wearing thin.

Boom, sweet victory! I got it working... just had to drive myself near insanity with Android Terminal Emulator.
Added BusyBox to the list of SuperUser Access apps, got Terminal Emulator from the Android Market, moved the SystemUI.apk to the root of my SDCARD and entered the following commands:
su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount rw /system/ (somehow [mount -o remount,rw /system/] didn't work because of the comma)
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
...and now I can do something I've been wanting to do for ages... NotificationToggle... get the **** off my system
Got it to work through insecure adb...What i did was install insecure adb via the apk (this cuases your phone to reboot after installing) , typed in "adb remount" in cmd and the simply used this command: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk.
NOTE - You will have to put the system ui.apk into the same folder as adb and browse to that folder using command prompt.
I'm fairly new to this stuff so no idea if what I did is correct...BUT it is working for me now
