Here's the steps I did so we're all clear... note this is on a Sprint Rooted S3..



1) First copied the AwesomeBeats.apk to the system/app folder and changed permissions as indicated

2) Ran the com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk which caused the phone to install 'something'.

3) Went into settings, changed the Music Effect to "Beats"

Immediately received an error about MusicFX not responding.



4) Tried several music apps and while music was playing went into the new AwesomeBeats app in the app drawer and modified a few settings to extremes to try to see if anything worked.. no sound change..



5) Thought maybe a reboot was in order (not mentioned in OP but hey never know). After reboot, verified beats was still selected in settings, it was.



6) Retried music and beats setting app.. no change.



7) Noticed another app in the App Drawer called "Install BeatsAudio" or something similar... CLicked that, and it said it was installing some files and then it rebooted the phone.. (I thought Aha! OP forgot to mention this)



8) After reboot, verified Beats was still selected in settings... tried Music and AwesomeBeats app again... still no changes no matter what settings were tried.



Since then I've removed the AwesomeBeats.apk from the system folder and rebooted.. menu is now gone in settings and things seem 'back to normal' (though nothing really changed that I could tell).





So there you have it... everything I've tried.



BTW this is on a STOCK Rooted S3 from Sprint... no custom ROM nor Kernel... perhaps that's a difference that is required and not mentioned?
