Alright so I did a little research on Beats Audio. This DOES NOT give you Beats audio quality. Heres why.

The reason why is we are missing some key components (not the head phones) One being the HtcBeatsNotify.apk and HtcMusic.apk. (Ive tracked down and installed both. No difference) Also its incorporated into the kernel, framework.jar and the services.jar. If you pull apart the zip file it is missing all of those important components. Therefore BeatsAudio for all GB phones is a crock of shizz.

With that being said Shiny, how do I remove this .zip I installed?

Just restore a back up if you got one.

Let me try something. Give me a few.

edit- just restore a back up. Some how put myself in Fastboot mode Ahaha

Oh it sounds different. But its just tweaks. Not Beats Audio. Most likely why it was pulled from the original link.

Tell us how you really feel, lol.

Well considering that Beats Audio headphones are made by the same company that makes Monster Cable... Yeah, overpriced junk. You can get better headphones for the same price or less, i.e. Sennheiser headphones.

The Beats Audio software isn't complete marketing vapor, but it's still inherently gimmicky and adds nothing in the XE's favor: you could achieve a better result on the original Sensation simply by downloading a third-party music player that lets you play with the EQ settings yourself.
