Yup although rooting isn't 100% necessary but it is highly recommended. Also rooting comes after flashing the custom recovery since you need that in order to root.

I'm new to Android as well. This link helped me out a LOT:

Once you're rooted and have CWM installed, it's as simple as downloading the kernel (I recommend franco) and then go into recovery mode, install zip from sdcard, and viola you are done!

Also remember when you unlock the bootloader its going to wipe out your phone

I've copied it to the /system/media. Also i made a backup. I set the permissions to r-w-r- r on both files. But the boot animation does not show, it shows the stock one

Samsung builds it into the kernel, theres no bootanimation.zip file on 100% stock roms (aka that system dump)

I'd suggest searching for how to convert those files or integrate them into your kernel/boot.img)

can i transfer modded apps from one device to another

Sorry about the title i was confused on what to put
So my tablet is rooted and i have modified some files on an app which you have to be rooted to modify. All i want to know is if it is possible to transfer the app onto my phone which is not rooted. i was thinking maybe there is a way to make the app back into an apk with the modified files buy im confused on how i would do that.

You won't be able to as you would need root permissions
