It was an awesome app. It really helped me in fixing my phone. I used it without root to reboot to recovery. Thanks to the developers for such an wonderful app..!!!!!!!

Only installs busybox version 1.26.2 which is miles behind the other apps. Detects busybox installed in /vendor/xbin though.

Very useful app a very good app for a aspiring developer like me. Keep it up, good job. None of the apps were working until I came across your app. Thanks again P.s to all those people who keep complaining about ads I found the ads to be non-profit intrusive and non-deceptive. If you want to get rid of them just buy the pro version. Successfully working on Android pie Redmi 4

Description and FAQ says that it doesn't require root, but when you try installing to a non-root folder...it asks for root.

Don't bother. The busybox version here cannot be updated and can't use custom. This version has 1.26.2! Very old version!

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.

BusyBox is maintained by Denys Vlasenko, and licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE version 2.
