About this app

This application is a BusyBox installer for Android. Includes BusyBox v1.34.1 with 378 applets, the most comprehensive set of functions. Supports installation BusyBox from the application and via recovery from ZIP archive (see "Menu - Zip archive").

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.

REQUIREMENTS:
* Device with architecture arm, arm64, x86, x86_64
* Android 5 (API 21) or later
* Superuser permissions (root)

Ratings and reviews

Hands down best busybox. More commands, ssl helper, always up to date. No BS ads or other junk. Customizable install directory. Option to install to a zip archive. Has sped up FX File explorer considerably when performing root tasks vs. FX's own internal busybox binary. I even prefer it to the binary that is included with Magisk and osmosis's binary, which is quite popular among root users. Used it on 7 phones so far without a single hitch.

I have always used this on other devices and (on android 9) It went fantastic to install but 1 problem (that i managed to fix) was that the app would give me a bunch of errors when installing but I changed in the settings that it downloads in /system/bin instead of /system/xbin, thanks

Doesn't install on rooted Galaxy Note8 running Lineageos 21 (Android 14)! Ditto when you change the install location. Apparently FS is RO snd it can't handle that. Unfortunately a total waste of time.
