Busybox Installer (no root)
1. You don't know how to use it.
2. Something MIRACLE is happening.
BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux
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.
However, using Busybox on android required root access for most app. But, since android is base on linux kernel, we will be able to run Busybox by using some linux hack.
Required:
Device with one of the following architecture:
arm, arm64, x86, x86_64, mips, mips64
Terminal Emulator for Android, or any terminal app you prefer.

Hey bro , i know where the problem in this app , you just need to make unix binaries available in /sdcard , mean you need to add access to storage permission in this app , and then add binaries in a directory then we can export path to this directory , and it will work , the problem was because any terminal app not have the pemission to list content of /data/data/com.yourpackagename But it have access to storage , so you need to make binaries available in /sdcard partition okay
Method1 says scroll but doesn't scroll. only install busybox button is visible on tv screen and can't access the other two buttons below. please fix this. thanks
Method 2 works on my device but this busybox does not contain ssh which makes it much less useful. Would give 5 stars of this was included.
Latest version keeps stopping and crashing. Unable to open the app.
Complete garbage, the commands it asks you to enter just result in permission denied messages. Also bombards you with ads on every single step
This app literally does nothing but show tik-tok ads.
Works flawlessly on both my LG Stylo 3 (LS777) and my LG Zone 3 (VS500pp). Intuitive interface & super simple to use.
"1. You don't know how to use it." Go to hell. I know how to use it. Something changed in latest Android versions and both methods don't work anymore.
Not compatible with stylo3
Does not work on Android 8.
takes forever to download and install
nice.ans its seams to be like a great apps for me i was looking for a app like it
not sure if it is working in oreo :-/
this doesnt work wow
YES I LIKE IT!!!!!!!! Wayman
Not work in my j7 prime g610f
a lil bit hard at 1st
Dont know how to use it😰
Very quickly and easily install busybox. When the app asks you to cut and paste the command to run busybox, simply go to preferences in terminal emulator and under shell there is a box called 'initial command' also paste there and it'll be invoked every time you start emulator. Great app! 6 starts if i could
Worked fine without root on Android Lollipop, though I had to create aliases in my ".bashrc" for each of the separate "applets" manually, however when I switched to a phone running Android Nougat I could no longer access the directory where "busybox" was installed. Won't work on Nougat without rooting phone.
It does what is supposed to do.
Working (that's good),may be used on rooted devices too(useful for same automation scripts used on multiple devices using same dirs).But there should be a convenient option to choose another terminal app when launched from app itself.Because the default term of Jack P. is rather poor and incompatible with some devices and keyboards(it can be solved manually but it's just another inconvenience).ADDITION:Has no permission to access the source dir (Huawei). Only way to use busybox now seems termux!
