If you are rooted it is easy. Change the bootanimation.zip file under system/media

Easiest way (if you are rooted) is to purchase Rom Toolbox in the market. It's got a section that lets you choose from a variety of boot animations. Note that not all of them look that great on a Bionic.

Find the boot animation you want, there are tons of threads and I believe they are all universal ( I had the thunderbolt's animated lightening storm with sound on my d2g at one point). I may be wrong after this point but other threads should exist for how-to...anyways!

Then locate your /system/media folder with a root type file explorer (like Root Explorer, but there are other free ones) and delete the old boot animation, then copy over the new bootanimation.zip. no need to extract it!

Reboot to test that it worked, and viola.

I went to system media but don't see the other boot animation what should it be called.

Here's a very cool tutorial from XDA on how to do it w/ different colored boot animations: [BOOT] *BioniCOLORS* Bionic Eye Boot Animation (UPDATED 10.25.11) - xda-developers

I'm using the blue one, nice change from the red eye.

Ditto. +1 A lot of other nice tools in ROM Toolbox.
