I'm looking to install Busybox via the ADB method, I've seen various links posted on different web sites to the tarball of a pre-built Busybox binary for Android. However, none of them seem to point to a particularly well known or reliable source.
Furthermore, as the s5830i has an ARMv6 CPU, is it possible to use this binary from the official Busybox web site or is it not Android compatible?
http://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/busybox-armv6l
Failing that would somebody mind please pointing me to the latest one that works?
"BusyBox Free" is an app you can get from the Play Store. Works great here, some apps that didn't work correctly on older busybox versions (those included with the ROM) function perfectly now.
Be careful with updating busybox !!!!!
On my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 when I upated busybox I bricked my phone.

GermainZ - I never realised there was a busybox in the stock ROM, (I have an app that is complaining about no busybox so I wrongly assumed I didn't have it at all). With regards to "BusyBox Free" aka "BusyBox" in Google Play, unfortunately there are a few quite recent comments from people that have broken internet or bricked their phones with it. What version of busybox do you currently have installed and have you been receiving the updates via the app OK?

Taking into account also what Ruben has said, if the busybox commands or even options on the commands have changed slightly between differrent versions and the stock ROM is relying on busybox commands in some way then presumably this could cause pretty big problems.
I installed the latest version (1.20.2) to system/xbin. You need root access BTW.
Works like a charm.

- Xperia Active Launcher : working on stock, I am using it from 3 days already, no FC, taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187008 - post 30
Then, if you have cypress chip (but also Dx module for synaptics) - if you need dual touch module "ax8mt" by ANDyX, you may need this toolbox (by puppet13th) to install hassle free ( and also the other goodies: CWM, dual recovery, etc.) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
Reasons : If you use your device as a PHONE, as primary function, you might think twice on installing any ROM....but this does not mean it HAS to look ugly (especially teh lockscreen of 2.1.)...decision is yours.
Hope this is usefull,
Cheers,

That one was version 20, I believe. Trust me, on my 2.1. works this version. Rooted, JIT enabled, ax8mt module installed with the x8toolbox by puppet13-th. Donno if JIT has anything to do with it, or maybe Busybox? Thing is, it works.

I'm rooted with Busybox installed.. Just checked and it's busybox V1.15.3, maybe old version??
I dont have JIT installed or ax8mt. Might try updating busybox and installing JIT.
It attempts to start and I see the 4 launcher corners appear but FC's straight away before I can attempt to use it.

no, wait, use the x8toolbox. It will help you install JIT and busybox both. And this way U skip the market step.

Right. Thing is the other apk's of the original thread cannot be installed on 2.1. since they are compiled for CM7 (2.3.x).
ok. Installed busybox 1.18.4 using x8toolbox and lost xrecovery. rebooted fone and flashed xrecovery back to fone. Installed JIT. quadrant score went to 512 (woo! )
I have Xrecovery back. Busybox 1.18.4 installed, JIT installed. then...
I Installed the Xperia Active and it still doesnt work.. FC again!..
ah well not to worry.. Glad you got it working on yours..

Oh, one other thing, no idea if it is important or not.
I use link2sd and I have a FAT 32 ext. partition. So, when I installed it, automatically was moved (link) there. Maybe this way I don't have the conflict you were mentioning?

One theme
Guys, great theme done by AChep & D-Shel that works on stock, to restyle your X8, you can find here:

Credits go to them, AChep and D-Shel who are doing a great job, again.
...Still, that agile lock screen really does the trick, in my oppinion.

how to return it to its original state?.,
Uninstall apk? Or go back to backup in order to remove theme?

Are you using a custom ROM? Custom ROMs for the X10 mini & mini pro use a chargemon shell script which is run using "busybox sh". I have seen some busybox versions around compiled without "sh". Maybe that is the problem. Try to call "busybox sh" in any terminal in your phone after updating busybox and before rebooting.
try stericson's app: https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox

which rom you've installed via seus?
btw, MiN is a stock rom with cwm, so you don't have to follow seus+root+cwm route
as i wrote before, stericson's application does the job. if you don't like the idea of installation an app for it, just install it once then rip busybox as the newest appropriate version and keep it for future.

yeah i already did lol, but for me its not so bad coz i made a backup of my stock with root and cwm and flash that to save me time. then i get to start from scratch from my vendors original fw before going custom. so its all gravy in the navy.
But the original problem is cant get a newer version of busybox running on Flame.E
It wont let us do it, always brick device.

My recomendation is that you uninstall one of them. They do basically the exact same thing, so you don't need both of them.
I'd rather just use SuperSU.

It takes me two minutes to remove the root and custom rom check (as well as the other things that they check before allowing end user to use the app)
Sure he could do that, but he would have to update his code everytime the app is updated as well. (Package names change, app dev "attempting" to preform checks other ways therefore changing the code and so forth are many reasons I wouldnt think he would bother)
If you have a precaution about running an app that someone (in this case me) has modified (for any reason ) and you want to use the original application you know u can "hide root" with many third party apps, and its even possible with supersu. This way would allow you to use un altered app.
To recap, I have no problem with any additional solutions to reach the same end result. There are many ways to get the same result.

That said, from a clean reboot ( simply for less cluter) run a logcat and launch app grab the failure and send it to me.

After some quick googling thats not an app or os problem but something on "thier" side of things.
Google " error code AR/1001" and you'll find what I found .

This is pretty common with some of the newer KK roms. You'll need to use a root enabled System App remover as for some reason Titanium Backup (and some other ways) does not remove the apps like it did on earlier builds for most roms I have used.
