Boot Animation kernal

i want to change my boot animation on my S2 but in the root guide, it says i need a repacked kernel to keep my 4G speeds. is there a repacked kernel that has boot animation support i can flash to my phone?
 
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)
 
where could i find a kernal that supports bootanimation.zip file and does not reduce my 4g speeds?

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 reason why no one has really did this yet for JB TW is cause we still don't have source : (
