(Tutorial) How to install busybox

[Guest Joshuah]

Hi,

This is just a quick guide for the community if you would like to install busybox on your rooted (but using stock ROM)

Note: before trying to execute the .exe make sure that your device is connected to your PC with 'debug mode' enabled.

It's simple,

1) download the attached .exe

2) double click and wait

3) done!

Thanks, and please give me your feedback!!

Version 1.0 (initial release)

* release

Version 1.1

* added latest version of Busybox which supports lzop - as it is required for Titanium backup (thanks duff.angus)

Works great on mine, thanks :)

Good work with this Joshuah.

I just had an issue with the included busybox in that it didn't include lzop, needed by Titanium backup.

I trawled the net and found a version including lzop here: http://bf1942.moretoast.de/busyboxmk9

file attached here for convenience.

I think you have to adb remount first

I think you have to adb remount first

Sry It's my fault . I now use #busybox find instead of #find ,it works...

Another way to do it.

Use malez recovery and tell it to do it. It can even upgrade your installation, easier :)
