One of the great features of HTC smartphones is Beats Audio™, and
many music enthusiasts have bought their devices because of this great
custom equalizer that improves sound quality, especially bass. It was a
HTC exclusivity but not anymore as the XDA community has managed to port
it to other brands. We’re going to teach you today how to download and
install Beats Audio on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000. The procedure is
really simple but in order to enjoy the great equalizer at its best you
need to have Gingerbread or a custom ICS ROM installed on your Galaxy S
because, according to the developer, it does not work properly on Froyo.
What you need to know and do before downloading and installing Beats Audio on your Samsung Galaxy S I9000:
- note that onebitzero.com will not be held responsible for any damage you might do to your device while and after you install Beats Audio on your Samsung Galaxy S I9000. Although the procedure is simple, please continue at your own risk!
- charge the battery of your Galaxy S I9000 to at least 50%.
