An Android application that installs BusyBox, a single small executable combining tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities, onto a rooted Android device. It supports arm, arm64, x86, and x86_64 architectures on Android 5+ and bundles 378 applets.
Use cases
- install busybox on a rooted android phone
- get unix utilities like awk, grep, and sed on android
- provide a shell environment for android scripting
- replace missing GNU fileutils and shellutils on android
- set up busybox applets for linux deploy or other root tools
When to choose
- you have a rooted Android device and need a full set of UNIX command-line utilities
- you want a simple installer app from Google Play or GitHub releases
- you need BusyBox applets for other root applications like Linux Deploy
When to avoid
- your device is not rooted, since superuser permissions are required
- you need full-featured GNU utilities rather than BusyBox's reduced applets
- you want a maintained project with frequent updates - the latest release is from late 2023
