What are the advantages to this app?
is it just to adjust audio settings? (I have an HP ENVY beats edition so it has the audio control)
Hmmm I'm not seeing a single change other than now I get a message every so often saying MusicFX.apk has stopped
I've following the OP's instructions, and tried this using AudioGalaxy , Google Music and Samsung's own music player. Nothing I do in the Awesome Beats settings app has any effect at all...
Has this been tested and confirming working on a Sprint Device?
It provides Audio boost ( plus equalizer and bunch of other stuff) for speaker, headset and Bluetooth and to me tunein radio and music sounds better. When I got my SGS3, I was a bit disappointed with audio output quality comparing with iPhone 4 but this app fixed it for me.

I tried it on Telus SGS3 which is similar to AT&T and it works. I haven't got musicfx has stopped working message at all and I am sorry you got that. I even tried it on my friends GNex and it worked. Did you open the app after installation and enabled the Boost option?

Yes, I enabled Boost in the Settings (vs leaving it at MusicFX).
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?
The steps are all good....when you install com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk, you need to used the app called Beats Audio Installer to get Beats audio working, music fx stopped for me only once but after that everything worked perfectly.
did you try to use the get "Boost audio" enable in the app after?

Those of you who have it working, which Music Player are you using to test with and notice the sound difference with... I've been reading that some players simply aren't going to be effected due to coding.. and wondering if that was my issue...

I think the only player I have installed that uses it is Google Play Music player. It has to [pardon my terminology if this isn't 100%] hook into the android 'music effect' that you set in settings.
If you guys are you using the stock TW Music Player and say that it works...well check again. This mod will not work with the Stock TW Music Player because of the libs that are associated with the stock app. This mod will only work if you use a different music player other than the stock one. I'm personally using the CM9 Music Player (not Apollo) and it works flawless.
I've attached the apk for the Transparent CM9 music app. :highfive:
Worked great for me. I played a audio podcast in Pocketcast and Google Play. Google play with beats audio enabled is noticeably better. Great job and thanks. I like it.
I have awesome beats on my infuse and it's not much of a difference from my stock GS3 sound. Maybe a bit more bassie but nothing like beats audio on HTC one x! Now that's the best sound I've heard coming out of a phone. Just saying...
But me love me GS3
White Hot! GS3.
Happy to hear that it worked for you guys, please don't forget to hit the "Thank you Button" as I am new and don't have many.
I have tried this MOD with Poweramp, Google Music and Tunein radio and have noticed %40 to %50 increase in audio output. When I first got my SGS3, I started using the stock Samsung music player and I was pretty disappointed but this mod solved my problem.

I just tried the "Music" player (the blue+green logo) and it's works great.
I'm also using recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.
I think to remove the play app.

Yep, try removing and then reinstalling it - sometimes such a simple thing solves the issue.
I much prefer PowerAmp over the default samsung music app. Is there any way to make PA the default? I'd like to be able to say "Play Katy Perry" and have PA come up and not Music...
thx!

Well clear the default app. Go to settings-->application manager-->look for the default music app and click on it-->scroll down and click where it says "clear defaults"...use a file explorer and choose a song. Itll ask what player to use and choose poweramp..
there you go XD

It is because you enabled Harmon Kardon sound enhancement and you are not S-OFF. Check out this post and flash the first uninstall zip from the bottom.

There are a few apps mentioned in other threads but I thought I would start a thread to log all the Wear apps that can show off the most unique feature of our watch! So far:
- Phone app - use the watch as a speaker phone
- Google Play Music - play synced tracks on the watch
- Video for Android Wear&YouTube - will play videos on the watch
- Glide - Video Chat Messenger - plays video messages on the watch
- Accessibility settings - will give audio feedback and read out the time
Any more guys?
light flow
youtube for wear
Text message tone
Seems weird I guess I just expected this to work . Anyway to get incoming text tone?

Open Play Music on your phone, go to settings, and there is a section near the bottom for syncing to Android Wear.

I know, what I'm saying is I can't get sounds to work even though I looked through all the settings and ticked everything for Wear.
Edit: Got it. It used media volume not notification volume.
Anyone have issues with Facebook messenger calls are dropping?

Yes for sure I had to play around much with the settings but meanwhile I have a realy good working setup.
I was in touch with the developer the current version may have some problems with syncing the sound to the watch.
If there is an error on the app on the watch like, "Couldn't load file...", you need to wait for the update. Not sure when it will be coming.
I figured out in my case it works best if I deactiveate the vibration and the sound for every app I want to control with light flow but keep the led notification.
Change this in the notification settings of the app you want to control. Whatsapp, Inbox.....
For the app specific notification settings in lightflow following options are important.
Navigate to the sound tab and check these:
Location: wearable, wearable and device, or wearable if connected...
Volume control method: Lightflow controlled notification volume
Thank you, found an easier and better way by using smart wear notification app - link above and works like a charm.
