You can't use a gif for a background image.

You will need one of those video wallpaper tweaks off Cydia to do what you want.
 
thanks for the reply
sorry but im kinda knew to the jb and winterboard thing. could someone give me a few tips on how to go about it? ive done a few searches and cant really find anything that explains how to do what i want.
thanks again
