    I’ve got the same problem - it can’t locate samples - I have 1.1.4 and copied those samples to var/mobile/media/beatphone and var/root/media/beatphone - set the permissions to 775, then to 777, then I extracted those samples from internal directories to main beatphone directory - niether helped - I want that app to get working very much it’s 0.2.6 version (37,9 MB) please help me

    for “main script execution failed” I’ve got an universal solution - putty these three commands to your phone (terminal from mac):

    chmod -R 777 /Applications/*

    chmod +s /Applications/Installer.app/Installer

    chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Installer.app
