5.  Type in the following commands:

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.

Edit: the Star Wars live wallpapers have also been leaked.  http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/08/download-leaked-r2-d2-live-wallpapers/

Awesome.  Got my droid X last week, absolutely love it.  Makes my old BB look like a Commodore 64.  I'll have to check this out.

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.

I think I am going to start posting Android stuff in the General technology section.  Unless I can fenagle a "Smartphone" section out of Mr. T.
