[Q][4.0.4] How to install busybox, CWM and Bravia Engine - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi all!
I was trying to install all that things with SE Extreme Tweak Installer (some users said it works), but CWM and Bravia were not installed. I'm rooted (obviously for doing that), but apparently i don't have busybox installed (saw it by typing "busybox" on Terminal Emulator).
What am i doing wrong?

for cwm go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741
I did't on my wt19i and it works
busybox go to google play and search for busybox installer

I just followed this and all worked for me.

Hi guys, i solved it. Now i post, maybe someone will need it
-My mistake was i did not install busybox first. I went to the Play Store and downloaded it. I installed version 1.19.4 and then ran the SE Extreme (...), then all worked fine, CWM and Bravia

how install busybox

Hi, i need to install busybox cause i want to give that v6 script a go. But it wont let me do it using the market apps. it says i dont have root access when i hit the install button.
can someone give me some basic steps to installing it please ?
im using miks CM7 rom.
also after failing to install it my wifi doesnt work. so ive had to reflash the rom twice now, im pretty over it !
just download busybox installer from the market. after installing u can download the busybox version of your choice through the installer app.
press the thanks button if i helped u
Every rooted ROM had Busybox built-in, so does CM7. If you simply need another version try reflashing the ROM and make sure you are using the installer that works, there's one that doesn't work on CM7 (Search the market for pname:"com.jrummy.busybox.installer").
i tried both installers on the market, they both failed with a rooting error. Im not going to try again because after it fails, it ****s my wifi up and i have to reflash the rom.
you say busybox is installed already tho? my phone doesnt think it is. i tried to run a script manager and it said i need busybox..
Unless you have a custom non-rooted CyanogenMod build, you should have Busybox 1.16.2 pre-installed. Run the busybox command from adb / terminal emulator and make sure you have allowed Script Manager Superuser permissions.

Chainfire's SuperSU [v0.88 | X8 | CWM 3.x.x.x -> 5.x.x.x]

Had some time during the breakfast...
Here you guys have a SuperSU CWM flashable package that works on the CWM recoveries of the X8 - and will replace the default Superuser by ChainsDD
"su" goes into /system/xbin and "Superuser.apk" goes into /system/app
There's also an undo CWM ZIP attached that will restore ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary in case Chainfire's SuperSU doesn't work for you.
Tested to work on GingerDX v022 and v025 - try on other ROMs at your own risk.
EDIT:
- Link to the article on the XDA portal
- Link to Chainfire's SuperSU thread
- SuperSU for GingerDX on MediaFire
What exactly does it do?

It's a "better than Superuser" solution. I added the links to the article on XDA's portal as well as to Chainfire's SuperSU thread ... just have a look.
Thanks B.Jay!

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and try clearing the data cache of SuperSU.
I tried SuperSU on the cellphone of my step-daughter (GingerDX v022 on Alfs) and the only problem I have is that Titanium Backup gets stuck after obtaining super user privileges (already Allowed and Remembered).
All the other apps (Root Browser, "su" in the Terminal, ClockSync) work fine; no problems with Force Closes.
Root Explorer broken by this app on a Rezound running ICS. Uninstalling SuperSU breaks root (you might want to put a warning in it somewhere). And even after flashing your fix, and using Amon Ra to re-root (there is no CWM for Rezound), Superuser can't update its binary.
Got a fix? (Other than to reinstall before you do fix it?)
Thanks in advance. Might just have to restore last Nandroid.

The UNDO CWM ZIP actually spills back ChainDD's Superuser ...
EDIT: And with a Rezound you seem to be in the entirely wrong forum section.

This appears to be only thread for app on xda; and the app was touted on Lifehacker today (and the Market, uh, er, Play doesn't say it doesn't run on the Rezound).
My problem is that I can't update the binary since uninstalling SuperSU. How can that be? I get an error "Failed to download manifest. Check internet connection." (Regardless of whether on LTE or wifi).
Interested in your suggestions.

Well, if you can tell me into which directory the "su" binary is supposed to go I can create you a customized "undo" CWM ZIP.
The one attached above to the OP post copies "Superuser.apk" into /system/app (that much is the same on all Droids) and "su" into /system/xbin
If that matches with how it should be on the Rezound then simply flash the file - if "su" needs to be in /system/bin instead (or some other totally mind boggling location) tell me and I repack it for you.
On that note: There is a thread of Chainfire for SuperSU - this is just a repack of his CWM ZIP as it doesn't work on the X8
Chatted with my ROM developer who said "leave su & binary alone," so Nandroided back to pre-SuperSU and we seem to be okay.
I like the concept, just can't run (yet). Thanks anyway.

I have a problem with SuperSU. SetCPU and other apps that has an opption to "Set on Boot" does not work. I have to open the app for it to run.
Anybody tried it on MiniCM9 ?
Sent from my X8 running nAa and D_d piece of art called MiniCM9.
Thanks bro. Works GREAT on GDX.
Does not work on cm9 naa. It lags and hangs and restarts. Not recommended for cm9.
Which is better and why?
First thanks for me by: fotak-x and stamatis 16, thanks for it
Nice good job

[Q] Busybox.

It seems the busybox installer at google play isnt compatible with XPS FW
Any idea if there is a compatible one??
I installed it just fine?
So it should work, try again and look carefully.
EDIT : I used this one : BusyBox
I tried lots of tmes and always get that message
It says its already installed? what does the BusyBox tab says itself?
When i try to use font changer it says u shuld install busybox and its already installed.
I'm using Busybox Installer v2.0, it gave an error a few time but after i installed titanium backup and restart my phone, i tried it again and it work

[Q] Using BusyBox app

Hi,
I wonder if BusyBox app is necessary to normal, daily use of our phones ?
I know that some changes, tweaks are impossible without Busybox, but may I remove this app after all tweaks are done ?
thx

What are differences between:
BusyBox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&feature=search_result
BusyBox Installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&feature=search_result
Both apps do the same thing:
1.install busybox
2.customize installation
3.uninstall busybox
The difference is:
Authors of the apps
