I have a root app that keeps asking to install Busybox and leads me to install the busybox installer app from market but this installer fails to write/install busybox to system/xbin, is there a better easier way?
I know the upd_1.zip package can do it but I already have root and I don't like this package as it installs a lot of stuff, I just want Busybox only.
thanks

Hello,
I have a quick question?
Should busybox be installed in /system/bin or /system/xbin or does it matter?
Help!!!!!!!!!!
I am trying to kill all of the Verizon packaged bloatware on my Rezound. I have already tried to use Cleantool 2.1.1 and it doesn't seem to work. I am not sure if it is outdated. If i uninstall all of it or remove it from the Verizon apps tab it just updates and installs it later. I want it gone. Please help me.
are you rooted?
Well, if you're rooted, you could simply delete the bloatware, or move it off to somewhere else. Something like this, depending on your definition of bloatware...
Code:
#rezound bloatware remove
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/bloatwareRZ
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/app
busybox mv VCASTMusic3_72_vigor_beta.apk /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/bloatwareRZ/VCASTMusic3_72_vigor_beta.apk

I guess i'm not sure about rooted. I am new with the android. how do i root.
bobcsc - check out this link - it should hopefully help answer your questions

If you're new to rooting, the easiest method would be rooting using the link posted by Argent36 and then using Titanium Backup to freeze the Verizon bloatware.
Yes i would be good for now going with the easiest possible route. i think that i need to do allot of studying before i jump into the development side. what is the titanium backup? any other suggestion anybody has for the time being is appreciated until i have the comfort level on the development side.

Your best bet is to follow Argent36's link. I used it to root my Rezound and could not be happier. If you take your time and follow it to a T, you should not have any issues. No more VZW bloat and ICS Roms a plenty! Titanium allows you to backup, remove, freeze apps but you need to be rooted.

Hey thanks for the code.
I'm not a developer, but not an idiot either.
Can you just let me know how and where to run this code because it seems like a very easy way to do what I've been doing manually...which is moving the bloat exactly as your little code does.
I assume I run this in sdk? But just want to confirm before I do something stupid.
Thanks

Root Checker Basic
I found root checker basic quick and easy to use for verifying root back in the temp root days of the rezound. Search the market for it.
My HTC Rezound is rooted and I have an ICS ROM...Will the free version of Titanium Backup remove the bloatware? Also does anybody else with a rooted Rezound have WORSE battery life than before....TY!

Absolutely NOT! I was getting 6 hours of light use before I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a rooted ROM. This app is free and is the best I've found for freezing/removing any apps you don't want to run (titanium free won't work) :
App Quarantine
but i feel that Titanium Backup is well worth the money IMO

It is a good app, but not very user friendly for noobs. If you're cheap like I am you can A) Delete all the crap you don't want in the ROM's zip before flashing and/or B) use MyBackup Root for automated app & data restore then freeze bloat with App Quarantine
Yeah I'm really new to the whole rooting world, thanks a bunch!

Yeah I downloaded the Titanium app and was like OMH what is all this stuff...lmao..
I just go in root explorer and delete apk's like a mad person. Don't see the sense in freezing crap you're never gonna want or need on your phone.
I have BB 1.18.4 still from the old doomlord kit, installed into system/xbin, and I noticed that some mods/tweaks/apps require it installed in /xbin, while others need it into /bin. So my question is, if I use Busybox Installer to install the 1.20.2 to both folders, will it harm my device having two busyboxes installed at the same time?
You could install it in xbin and then symlink it to bin.

Err, how to symlink it? I find something like console commands searching around, but i don't know where to put them =(
I think you have some learning to do.
You can install busybox in both directories. The order of directories in $PATH will prevent issues with having it installed twice.

Thanks, I'll go directly with the double install then.
Just one more thing that just happened, I usually use Busybox Installer for that, but when I select the installation for the right version, before dowloading the install files, it stops and says I have a bad internet connection, even tho my 3G works perfectly. Did anyone else experience this?

Yeah, I know this is old thread, but I have some related questions: if busybox is already installed in system/bin by kingroot, why should I install a binary update in system/xbin as busybox installer wants to do by default? If it is in both paths, which one is going to do the job? or... Why do I actually want to have two busybox copies in two separate directories if I "can" have just one? And last: most people suggest to install busybox in system/xbin, so why kingroot choose to do it in system/bin?...
Man quetion.. I'm curious what the answers are to these please!..
