As I can't see WHICH "bootanimation.zip" you flashed, I assume, it's the real animation and not any flashable mod. Open the zip in winzip and look inside. If there is no meta-inf folder inside you don't have a flashable zip.
Go to /data/local on your phone and replace the bootanimation.zip there with your original one. You need root-access and need to mount as read/write to do that. .
After that change permissions for the file to rw,rw,r
Done

Its the remove boot animation zip that mike posted in post #2 that says its supposed to bring the boot animation back to stock ics animation. I just checked in the zip and it does have a meta-inf file in it :/

OK, I just looked at it. You are right. But the only thing that zip does, is deleting bootanimation.zip in /data/local. (Quote: delete("/data/local/bootanimation.zip")). For some reason it doesn't work on your phone. So just do it yourself.
Use a root-capable file-manager, go to /data/local and delete bootanimation.zip. You need to mount as read/write, as I already said.

Thanks for your help. I downloaded root explorer and went into data/local but there was no bootanimation.zip so I'm guessing the flashable zip did what it was supposed to. I went into system/media to check for the boot animation in there, and the bootanimation.zip in there was 0.0 bytes. Could this have something to do with why, after flashing the zip to remove the bootanimation.zip in data/local, the animation does not revert back to the ICS one?

Could be. On my phone the one in system/media is 5.smth MB.
You could open the zip you used to flash the ROM, extract the animation from system/media and copy it to it's location on phone. Don't forget to set permission afterwards to rwx,rwx,rw (maby a bit less would be sufficient, but what the heck )

I'll just have to wait for the next release. The boot animation is not a big deal for me coz i seldom reboot my phone anyways.

Thanks!

thanks everyone for your comments.

+1 Great battery life and stable with faux kernel 4.0.2

Also remember to flash the reset kernel 4.0.2 found in his post first, then flash his latest or else there will be issues (eg: Advanced Power menu not working properly)

Also @mike are you going to update this ROM any further or just wait for google to release 4.0.4?

I'm in no hurry to update as my phone is nice and stable as it is, just wondering though
