Comments on BusyBox for Android

★★★★★ Hahaha it fails to install because it does not create the folder hahaha 😂 Hopefully, there is a minimum of detail on the operations 👍

★★★★★ Hands down best busy box. 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 busy box 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.

★★★★★ This App is From Lucky Patcher Also The King Root Lucky Patcher is Good app but he can't BE PATCH IN NAVAL BLITZ I DID NOT LIKE IT

★★☆☆☆ Install busy box success, but phone is rebooted busy box is gone. Every phone reboot must install again busy box.

★★☆☆☆ The busy box installation initially failed because the app was unable to create the "xbin" folder under /system in Android 12. I had to use a root-enabled file manager to do that manually, then the busy box installation succeeded. UPDATE: I just discovered that once installed, the busy box cannot be removed anymore, because the app is not able to remount the file system as read/write to do so.

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