I love this ROM, but I'm having the same problem. I can't get the boot animation to change. I used root explorer to copy the new file over the old, and changed it's permissions. But on a re-boot, it's still the same "droid" boot sequence.
Is it me, or the ROM?
I had the same problem.. I used the root explorer method and the Kang scripts.. couldn't change it..
Try Root Explorer again. Make sure to change to Mount R/W in that folder ( data/local/ ) by pushing the button in the upper right corner til it says Mount R/O. Then paste the file in there, but it must still be titled bootanimation.zip so as it overwrites the other file (make sure you backup the other bootanimation.zip if you ever want to have that one back someday). Once you've copied it over, then change it back to Mount R/O again and exit Root Explorer. If it still doesn't stick then maybe try pulling your battery after you copy the bootanimation.zip file into /data/local/ successfully. Or also maybe it could be the permissions of the file you're trying to put in there are different than they should be and so it could be restoring the old file from cache or something? (just a crazy guess). Make sure the permissions are the same on the 2 files, and they are both named the same thing so it overwrites the old one. My permissions on my bootanimation.zip file are: ---rwxr--x and mine copied right over and upon reboot it loaded my new one.
Also make sure you aren't accidentally just trying to copy in the red eye one over the red eye one. Compare the 2 file sizes, they should be different. I know if you open the zip file on a Windows machine (even without unzipping the archive) Windows 7 on mine lets me preview all the pictures inside it so if you just look at a few of the pics inside the bootanimation.zip file you can tell right away which theme it really is to make sure you have the correct one you're trying to put on. Don't remember for sure but perhaps Astro File Browser or AndroZip will also let you preview pictures inside a zip archive from your phone, so you could try that first.
