and boosts to your rooted device’s
audio settings, letting you make

fiddly process to get it
installed though, and
you’ll need a couple of apps
and processes installed
before you even get started
to make it work. First off
you’ll need a rooted device,

we start installing AwesomeBEATS.
The first app you’re going to
needinstalled to your device is called
BusyBox. You can get a free or
premium version from the Play store
(http://bit.ly/1vRpOiG). Once it’s
installed on your device, check that
it’s up to date by opening the app.
You’ll need the latest version of
BusyBox for this tutorial.
