And if you are feeling super saucy this morning, here is an audio file which reportedly works during boot, yet I can’t for the life of me get to work. Actually, almost no one can get it to work. Let us know if you do!
Animation is working just fine, however like the original poster I can't get the audio to work on my Droid 2. I'm thinking root is needed.
Yeah I switched from a blackberry storm 1 to a droid 2 a couple days after it was launched. Very happy with the android platform and the phone itself. Just waiting on a proper root/unroot method now.
