Default [MOD] Enable Custom Boot Sounds MT4G/Glacier CM/AOSP

This is the same implementation as the g2 boot sound enabler with a few improvements.

i'm not responsible if you blah blah blah. don't be stupid, and don't flash things to your phone without realizing the possible risk. i haven't bricked a phone yet and don't plan on it.

DOWNLOAD:
bootsound-glacier-CM-signed.zip
MIRROR - Mediafire

This enables custom boot sounds. After flashing and rebooting you should be greeted with the all to famous "DROID" bootsound.

you will also have some new useful commands in terminal:

newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new bootsound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new boot animation
bootsoundoff - turns boot sound off
bootsoundon - turns boot sound back on

Just files named accordingly on your sdcard's root i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'

Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.

Rom developers - feel free to include this in your builds if you so desire, please make sure credit is given accordingly to spiicytuna, mrdaviso, and myself.

if you're running a sense rom there's a totally different way of doing it so, should you be running sense... don't flash. or flash at your own risk, i can't guarantee the outcome.

untested... let me know if things go smoothly, the same process works for the evo g2 etc.. so shouldnt be an issue. make sure your media volume is up, some report if it's muted you wont hear it. (not sure about this, i guess it would be easy to test...)

Terminal isn't required, but the sound you need to replace resides in /system/media so a file explorer with root access would be necessary.
