Was there an ICS version made? The only one released that I have seen was for GB.

So to be sure, the beats audio zip works with the ics leak?

Reading this thread, seems that I do not want to install Beats and if I needed to do a restore of my ics leak back up too. I do have the ics leak file on my computer so I would think I would be able to install like before. I do not want to mess up my phone or not being able to be on ics. ICS is the best rom I have had on phone by far. So, do you have any current information if restoring a backup of ics works right. Also that beats still works. I have the beats file on my computer I got from your link. I just want to make sure. I do not want to stray from our sight for knowledge. This is the best razr sight I have seen. I have to much to risk messing up my phone.
Thank you.

I did the install of brats as you said. Deleted su backup, bootstrapped in recovery, mounted/system, then flashed beats. How do I know its installed? The speakers I use I will try when I am at work. I do not have a hook up for my car. I mainly us my phones speaker. I never messed with the eq in the phone till this morning. Either way the phone has great sound. IPod what? lol.
Thank you.

IMO beats is pretty meh. Came from the thunderbolt where a rom I ran had it. It only worked on the HTC music player. As for the sound it was a bit better but not as good as I could do with the eq in poweramp

2 things real fast.1. As long as you follow the correct procedure, restoring a backup on the ICS recovery will work 100%.2. Beats Audio 100% works with ICS and is not OS version specific.But let's go a little further into all this.As long as you install the ICS leak the exact way it's laid out in the post here, you should have no issues at all. While installing the leak, you will use an app called "Voodoo OTA Root Keeper" to backup your root. After you're done installing the leak you will use that app again to restore your root. Do not get rid of this app because you'll need it again.

Once you've properly restored root, open up that OTA Root Keeper app and use it to delete the "su-backup" file. Once you do that, you will be able to successfully restore a backup using the recovery that I have linked to in the second post.

On to the Beats Audio. I for one absolutely love the Beats Audio. You need to use the recovery to flash it and you flash it just like you do anything else. The only catch to it is that you have to mount /system first in recovery. To do that use these steps:

Reboot into recovery
Scroll down to and select "Mounts and Storage"
Select "Mount System"
Keep backing out until you are at the main menu of the recovery then from there you can just flash the Beats Audio zip.

In my opinion and quite a few others, it is definitely a must have if you use your phone as your music source in your car. Some people have said they don't notice a difference but most of them don't know that you have to mount system first. The music sounds a lot more crisp and clear as well as more bass.

As long as you follow the instructions in any of the OPs here, you will be ok. Just make sure you read everything in the OP. If you ever need any further help, just post here and let me know!

ive tried a few times. after we mount, do we have to unmount after flashing and then reboot? and do we wipe dalvik or cahce partition before we flash?

[claps1775]

I looked in the system/bin file and did not see ibeats. I did a search and found nothing. I will try the install again.

[claps1775]

I just attempted the install again. deleted super user. Mounted system. Then flashed the zip. Then I unmounted system. Check system/bin. Still no beats. I must be doing something wrong.
