Huh? Boot animations have nothing to do with kernels.
As of changing them.. You'll have to do some googling cause the extension Samsung uses for their boot animation is just weird.

Stock ROM kernel doesn't support the standard bootanimation.zip. You have to have a kernel that has been made to do so.

On the Stock TW ROMs the boot animation is comprised of two files. They are named, "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" These are in a Samsung proprietary format. There is an application to make them, however Samsung keeps a tight rein on it so it's expensive. You can easily copy those files from another phone such as an S3 or other Samsung phone that uses them and put them in the /system/media making sure the files permissions are set to rw, r, r (important or animation file won't play)

There are ROMs that can support bootanimation.zip. I am not sure if they bork your 4g or not. I hardly ever use 4g as I am not in a 4g area for the most part.

There is a way to edit a stock TW rom to get the boot animation zip to read but that is real in depth. Code has posted the easiest method for TW.
