"Disclaimer:I am not responsible if you break,brick,hump,throw against wall or any other action you do to your phone. By using this bootanimation you agree anything that happens is your own noobtastic fault. Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at." - Eollie

The boot animation is taken from

The boot sound is

I am currently running the 01/25/12 BACKside ROM, so I can only verify the functionality and instillation on this ROM.

You'll need a root friendly file manager such as Root Browser https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
As well as the boot sounds and boot animation attached to this post. (alternately if you just need a mp3 clip a quick internet search will supply you with a variety of choices for personalization)

"If you are using BACKSIDE/IHO or have already installed the script dont I REPEAT DONT run the script again. Doing so makes multiple instances of the commands and will stop the bootsound from playing. If you run the script more than once you will have to delete somethings to get it to work. SO be warned DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY OR ARE USING BACKSIDEIHO ROM"- Eollie

"If you are running BACKSIDE or have already installed the script all you have to do is using root explorer copy the file "android_audio.mp3" from the zip you downloaded to /system/media.
Then reboot and you should have awesome bootsound." -Eollie

The method I used.

1. Copy the Activate_Bootsound-signed.zip and bootanimation.zip to SD card

2. Move bootanimation.zip to /system/media replacing the file of the same name (take notice if there is an android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media)

3a. android_audio.mp3 found in /system/media = copy chosen mp3 clip to SD card, rename mp3 clip android_audio.mp3 move new audio file to /system/media replacing the file of the same name

3b. android_audio.mp3 not found in /system/media = reboot into recovery and flash the Activate_Bootsound-signed.zip

4. reboot to verify

5. find someone to show off new boot

I would cry for days. Just tested and you can download through your phones browser.

When I'm done making dinner I'll post a short video of the actual boot. Added a video of the actual boot to the bottom of the first post.

Can't use my Phone's SD card at all. I need a SD card to download, but my Phone can't mount it.
