I believe that i need root access to use my "Boot Animations" app. If that's true, will root access stop me from getting my OS updates? Thanks for any help.:confused:

Yes, you'll need to be rooted to use that app. Re: updates, simply rooting the device shouldn't kill the updates. However, if you replace the ROM or any part of it, i.e. kernel or recovery, then you will likely not receive OTA updates from Google.
