How would I go about changing my boot animation? I have tried with rom tool box but it doesnt work and I cant seem to find the file in a root explorer.

This still didn't work for me. I flashed I400_CWM. Rebooted. Opened ROM Toolbox and selected a new Boot Animation. Rebooted. Same old boring stock boot animation came up.
Are the bootzips in the right folder?

Build = SCH-I400.EC09
ROM = The one and only Ciscogee's EC09 Deodexed
I cleared cache, rebooted, used ROM Toolbox to install Animation, rebooted, and still stock animation. Do I need to manually move the files to another folder?
As I remember I used one of these kernels.

Everything I had heard was that the animation could not be changed now on EC09. I tried copying the new bootanimation.zip to \data\local, replacing the exiting one, but that didn't work. Still looking.

Ok, think I have it figured out. The bootanimation.zip in /system/media was removed with EC09. It was replaced by two files, bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. These files are what need to be replaced.
I found a page with a few replacements Here
There is a manual fix in continuum forum somewhere. That's how I did it before imnuts hack. As for ec09 my bootani is cm9 so I do believe I did the manual work around

Jagger,
The ec09 kernel you are on hasn't been hacked for boot animations. Imnuts never got around to it. The EC07 kernel ciscogee posted has, but you'd be back to the 'appy sdcard:update.zip" method of getting into cwm. So, it's going to be a matter of which one you want more. The fix you referenced should work for you, though.
I would, however, extract the bootani.qmg and samsungbootloop.qmg and place them manually, as opposed to flashing the zip, though. Or, at the very least, make a nandroid before flashing (which you should be doing, anyway).
So
So this means if I want the cyborg boot animation I have to replace the two files with it? And yes I have always been making a nandroid backup when flashing new files.
