I'd like to do this also and I'm wondering if we can find the new CM9 boot animation, seen in this video?

Be Rooted via DaG's root and rename your Boot Animations to sanmi.zip and copy it to System/Media

And reboot
Quotes to Live by:

If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.

Don't complain unless you are willing to offer a solution and participate in the solution. If not then SHUTUP!!!

I think his not kernel rooted, only system rooted like me, as for now, no way to change bootanimation with system root.
