BusyBox (v. 6.3) Разработано Stephen (Stericson) |
The fastest, most trusted, and most popular BusyBox installer! Over 1.5 million installs! Winner of best Utility Software award for Android via Handster.
A must have for any rooted phone! Almost EVERY rooted applications needs BusyBox to perform their magic, if you have a rooted phone then you need BusyBox.
Pro version contains no ads or nag screens, uninstall feature, custom tune feature, the ability to hand pick the applets you want, safety check for missing applets on start, and better overall support. The pro version will receive more frequent updates than the free version will. Eventually some of the features and improvements will make their way to the free version but not all of them will. Look for BusyBox Pro in the market.
This installer has the smallest Busybox binaries available, right around 700kb unlike the other installers which are over a meg. Also this installer does not require you to download anything extra like other installers do and thus works much faster.
Featured on the BusyBox website at: http://busybox.net/products.html
Please note I did not write BusyBox! I wrote this installer and cross compiled BusyBox for Android. Please see the about menu option for more details or here: www.BusyBox.net
The BusyBox source code can be found here: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/
Patches added to this can be found here: http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Building+BusyBox+binaries+for+Android
BusyBox is a software application that provides many standard Unix tools, much like the larger (but more capable) GNU Core Utilities. BusyBox is designed to be a small executable for use with the Linux kernel, which makes it ideal for use with embedded devices. It has been self-dubbed "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux".
This version includes 1.19.3, 1.19.2, 1.17.1, 1.18.4, and 1.18.5 no need to have more than that because it takes up space on your phone and each newer version will still contain the older features, unless I forgot to compile them in.
Leave this installed if you always want to get the latest version of busybox!

[2011-11-24] Rich: Great Works and installed fine on my Nexus S . |
|
[2011-11-24] Jeremy: Stericson blows Horrible app will crash your device. Download busybox by jrummy instead. |
|
[2011-11-24] Taavi: . Jeremy, go back to your stolen app and cry because your phone can't handle this :) |
|
[2011-11-24] Erick: ? How do you use it? Must have for rooted phone? My phone was fine wo it. |
|
[2011-11-23] dubyajaysmith: Thanks Useful tool. Sometimes must have |
|
[2011-11-22] Tim: Sheep, baaah! TL;DR App is riddled with security risks, ads, bugs, dev is greedy & underhanded, removed unnecessary permissions myself with Cyanogen mod nightlies! |
|
[2011-11-21] Valery: Besson Super |
|
[2011-11-20] Cleggy: .... Good but way too many updates :| |
|
[2011-11-20] Chris: Amazing Thank you for this |
|
[2011-11-20] James: Updates Great app best for busybox IMO, but there are so many updates its almost like market is used as a svn cache. Wait until you have a few then release... |
|
[2011-11-19] Antony: Great Use LBE to stop programs sniffing permissions people. |
|
[2011-11-19] Anonymous: For the past several updates it force closes as soon as I try to open it. I've emailed the person about fixing it, he didn't help, and still no fix. |
|
[2011-11-19] Stericson: Anonymous, I haven't seen an email? |
|
[2011-11-19] Daniel: Does what it says A must for rooted devices |
|
[2011-11-17] the 11/17/2011 Invasive permissions You could use a less invasive ad provider. Getting my accounts and modifying settings is too much. So no update. |
|
[2011-11-16] Kreen: What does it do. Not sure why i need it but, what ever it does, it works. |
|
[2011-11-16] Terry: The best Perfect. |
|
[2011-11-16] Wendell: It just works |
|
[2011-11-16] Rafael: Doesn't work Doeant work for my side kick android what a bummer |
|
[2011-11-16] Jacob: Perfect It works perfect for what I need. It allows me to run just about every root application I've found/installed. Good job on keeping it updated often. |
|
[2011-11-15] Meaple: What? Stop complaining the lot of you. 1 add and you all cry. As someone already said, you'll run this app once every 2 weeks at most. |
|
[2011-11-15] shakeym: Great app If you don't like it don't use it. Simple isn't it. |
|
[2011-11-15] dale: Won't update on my EVO |
|
[2011-11-14] Woongbin: Wtf permission requests? Taking permissions as hostage? |
|
[2011-11-14] Dan: Too many updates Dude, slow down and package fixes together, not one by one. |
|
[2011-11-14] Luis: Great app |
|
[2011-11-13] Ken: Wonderful! It fixed my botched-up busybox install. I'm not crazy about the UI, though. I would have preferred something more conventional. |
|
[2011-11-13] Hans: Must have for rooted devices. 5/5 |
|
[2011-11-12] Mike: .. Works ok and its good the developer is maintaining the app but there are way too many updates. Getting update notifications every few days. |
|
[2011-11-12] Simon: Brilliant Works like a charm on my GS2. Not much else to say. |
|
[2011-11-11] Greg: Ads, nagging and begging for money to "release" open source tools. You can remove "most trusted". I will go elsewhere. |
|
[2011-11-11] Paj: Average Hasn't worked in the last 4 updates. It is also think it takes too much memory as well. Uninstall |
|
[2011-11-10] Gina: Needs root. Uninstalled |
|
[2011-11-10] Zader: Permissions? No idea why you are asking for more permissions - you are installing one binary and symlinking to it. I'll get mine elsewhere. Previous 5 star. |
|
[2011-11-10] KC: Dev listens. Back to five star. |
|
[2011-11-10] Anonymous: Love it |
|
[2011-11-10] Jeremy: Ha! I lol'd at "needs root uninstalling" review |
|
[2011-11-10] xeper: Wut Wut |
|
[2011-11-10] P.: Deckerp Its a must |
|
[2011-11-09] jdillard343434: Do you idiots get this busubox is unix aleays has been this isnt open source. Its free ware funk that off to option b |
|
[2011-11-09] Andre: Nag screen ruins it Nag screen everytime u run it |
|
[2011-11-09] Mike: Good stuff. Nothing is free guys...quit complaining in the reviews. One screen of annoyance, who cares? You open it once every few weeks at the most. |
|
[2011-11-08] Josh: Great work! Number of nag screens has been addressed, thanks! |
|
[2011-11-08] SHW: What the hell is this "pontiflex" garbage?!? I used to trust you, more than JRummy, and recommend this BB installer over that one. Not anymore. 1* |
|
[2011-11-07] chinkostu: Stephen Good to see devs who listen!!! |
|
[2011-11-07] christopher: Switched to nagware Used to be the installer of choice, now you get a nagware popup you can't skip. Great job, you greedy turd. |
|
[2011-11-06] Adam: Quick and easy This is the best way to get Android POSIX compliant |
|
[2011-11-06] Shawn: omg thx! |
|
[2011-11-06] Zardoz: Messed up - big time. The installer will not let you exit now. Keeps looping when you try. Have to force close it via application menu. Sigh.... |
|
[2011-11-06] Justin "the Sauceman" Jackson: Wtf Ads at the beginning now, lame.Won't stop updating, lame. There are other versions out there. |
|
[2011-11-06] L.: ApocSGS2 Awesome |
|
[2011-11-06] dangambino8: Many thanx. Yay for Maryland developer. |
|
[2011-11-06] Johnathan: Excellent! Works as advertised flawlessly on my SE4GT. |
|
[2011-11-05] Craig U. ET4G: I just love all the gripes about the ads. 1st off, you install Adaway, and the ads are gone. 2nd, this app does its job, then quits. You can't live with an ad or nag for the 30 sec. it takes? |
|
[2011-11-05] Parker: Awesome application! Seriously people, as stated, what...you can't handle a tiny ad for a free app you use for such a brief moment?? Talk about petty! Boohoo |
|
[2011-11-05] Kory: Seriously, too bad it inconveneinces EVERYONE sooooo much to click no to 3 things...EXCELLENT app. 5 star everyone. |
|
[2011-11-05] Nick: Newest update Much better. A lot smoother! No more FC on n e of my soft. Thank you. Keep up the great work! |
|
[2011-11-05] the 11/5/2011 Wow! The dev puts a lot of work into this app that you guys probably don't understand (I do). The least you can do is show some appreciation... |
|
[2011-11-05] Dilan: Sucks alot Sucks |
|
[2011-11-05] Ahze (Self appointed): Update broke it Stuck in ad loop on rooted optimus c on cricket can't access anymore even after skip on both the ads and signup |
|
[2011-11-04] Martin: Ads are okay. Nag screens no. Plenty of other people with busy box installer. Uninstalled. |
|
[2011-11-04] Kurt: I can live with the ads, but the new nag system is horrible. This app installs a single binary for crying out loud! |
|
[2011-11-04] Will: Great! |
|
[2011-11-04] Nerd: Awesome For those complaining about ads, you have a rooted device. Go get AdFree from this market. It's free. (sorry dev) lol |
|
[2011-11-03] Jeff Salisbury: Does donate stop add? If I buy the Busybox donate does it stop the ads? |
|
[2011-11-03] Stuart: Does what it says! |
|
[2011-11-03] I_am_the_one: . Good app |
|
[2011-11-03] chonodan: All better Ok, you have only one nag screen, that works. Ads are a bit creepy though, they feel like scams and spam. |
|
[2011-11-03] LoveD1325: Loved1325 Yes Eyez Loves Shnit! Peace! |
|
[2011-11-03] Harry: Please remove Ads !! Please remove Ads, the application is wonderful, but would be outstanding if you take the Ads off my dear friend !! |
|
[2011-11-03] Jakob: Essential for advanced users BB is a behind the scenes component used by many advanced apps. If it works, you don't see it. |
|
[2011-11-03] varta: Good Now works ok, installs fast and without problems. Samsung Galaxy S 2.3.4 JVQ stock. |
|
[2011-11-02] DGW: Whoa You weren't kidding about the nag screens. Still - it's a great free app. |
|
[2011-11-02] cmlusco: Id rather pay than to see advertisements. 6 in less than a minute. If your app wasnt so great and necessary I would be hitting uninstall right now. |
|
[2011-11-02] Mike: This ap nags more than my ex |
|
[2011-11-02] Scott: Wow Thanks for the 3 separate ad pages. |
|
[2011-11-02] royce: To many adds Other then that ok kept asking to sign up for more adds |
|
[2011-11-02] Copolii: 3 nag screens? No! Way too many. |
|
[2011-11-02] Alessandro: Great app, but TOO MANY ads... |
|
[2011-11-02] Keith: To much nagging. WAY to many nag screens Just lost 3 stars for it. Went to jrummy16's app. Much happier now. |
|
[2011-11-02] Kyle: Weak. Too many ads for an app that does nothing but install opensource software. |
|
[2011-11-02] Jason: Painful Charge, but don't make your program a nightmare to use. Sad day today...... |
|
[2011-11-02] rudder: Fall from grace Nags make me want to uninstall, not get pro version. |
|
[2011-11-02] sanjeev: Dumbest idea I have ever seen! Appreciate your great effort in creating this awesome app. Just tell me where you got this insane idea to create 3 advertisements in 3 clicks? |
|
[2011-11-02] Levi: New ads suck Great app, and wish I didn't update |
|
[2011-11-02] Brad Breitenstein: Ads ads ads I understand developers putting in ads. But an ad at every screen is a little overboard. Come on man. |
|
[2011-11-02] Bill: Far too many ads now Ok I understand ads but wow this is almost malware now the ads are so bad. |
|
[2011-11-02] Denvis: Thats a hell lot of ads.. Too naggy if you ask me. |
|
[2011-11-02] William: Thanks for scaling back on the ads and for keeping it free! |
|
[2011-11-02] Mick: Thank you For listening. |
|
[2011-11-02] Dennis: Idea Why don't everyone click on one of the ads to say thank you for an outstanding app.. |
|
[2011-11-02] Dustin: Very handy 4/5 for invasive ads. Would click them if it wasn't so loud and in your face |
|
[2011-11-02] Alex Yap: Great app Thanks for hearing us... |
|
[2011-11-02] Ken: A MUST Have For Rooted Devices Just as the title says |
|
[2011-11-02] Ikonomi: Does what it says on the tin. It works. A necessary tool for any root or power user. |
|
[2011-11-02] Zachary: Thanx Stericson Just read your comment updating now sorry man I know you need some income but there was a nag after every button you pressed thanx mate. |
|
[2011-11-02] Dan: Makes updating so much easier! Thank you Dev! |
|
[2011-11-02] Anthony: Skeezix This is a busy box n I keep it so! Thnx Steve. |
|
[2011-03-07] metalchef: v1.18.3 wouldn't let Rom Manager properly reset file permissions. Reverted to 1.17.1 & problem solved. -1 star for that |
|
[2011-03-06] Dave: I dont know. . . . but it keeps saying needs to be rooted im new at this so i have no clue wat that even means but watever ill give it 3 stars woohoo |
