Hi, need advise on how to on back Busybox on Froyo?
I try Paul pre-rooted Froyo and also the Cyanogen one but I still facing problem mention that Busybox is not install when I opening up the MetaMorph Pro.
Anyway to solved this issue?
I can't use the MetaMorph as it keep prompting me I don't have Busybox install.
Apprieciate all help, thanks.
I thought Metamorph needs to get updated for Froyo? That's what I've been reading on here.
Anyway, I would've suggested what you already tried but you could also try Titaiunm Backup which lets you download Busybox.

After using Modaco Paul's 2.2 update, I still had root but no BusyBox, so I wasn't able to run Titanium Backup. I flashed Cyanogen's "Quick Rooter" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
After that, I was able to launch Titanium Backup just fine.
You said you've already done this, so I'm not sure what could be the problem.
A) Did you use the "Stock kernel" or the "Tweaked kernel"?
B) Can you run Titanium Backup successfully? If so, it could be an issue with Metamorph.
@Paul22000:
You could have just hit the problems button in Titanium and it would dl Busybox for you. That's how I fix it earlier when I was running Froyo.
@Andrew:
What's been reported is that the old Metamorph (with thm file) works but not the new one.

I never try the titanium yet, I try the stock kernel, shall I try the tweaked one as I don't want pershoot .34 kernel yet due to unmount issue and video camera issue.
Actually I not ready need the metamorph, I just need a semi transparent status bar with clock and date white font which work on Froyo. (I don't might need flash via RA-Recovery as long as it working)

I imagine you would have to uninstall your lag fix as this update installs it.
Unable to download
I'm unable to download from the media fire link. Anyone having the problem?
Ok, if you have a lag fix installed I would restore to factory then run the update.zip, don't use more then one lag fix, it will not work.
Fixing the one gig lag fix, if you run it after the side loader it will run the side loader again.
Fix coming in about an hour.

How would I go about installing busybox? I am trying to run Droid Overclock by jrummy16 but its saying busybox isn't installed.
i tried using 'busybox installer' from the marketplace but upon using it, it says that it can't locate busybox.
whats the best way about installing busybox?
I'm having the same problem. Any help?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I installed it via Titanium Backup. Once installed, hit the "problems" button to install it.
I used the "busybox" app from the market to install the most recent busybox.
i made sure and did:
Code:
adb remount
before trying to install busybox via the busybox installer and it worked just fine.
Worked for me, thanks.

Yea I had no problem using the busybox installer. It may have said it didn't work after the install, but it did. Had to get it going to use OpenVPN.
It was also a newer version than my TB had.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
This is a problem with all of the current versions of busybox. The one from the market and the one that Titanium Backup installs do not work on the Xoom. I compiled up a busybox from the source last night and it works with TB. The problem seems to be with the 'find' and probably the 'cp' commands. I talked with Stephen and he is going to release a new busybox installer to the market that should fix the problem.

I downloaded a version last night(? early this morning? it's all starting to blend together ) that has a fix for this. You get a "Green" install this time.
But FWIW, the previous version did at least seem to work, even if the installer fails.

We tried so many versions last night I'm not sure which one he eventually put up. But I know he is working on a new release. If the one in the market doesn't help TB, then the next one should.
Wait- do I understand that someone's gotten TB working; not just "running", but actually backing up more than just those 5 (essentially-useless) databases?
I really want TB working, 'cause I wanna experiment with something in the RUU (well, "SBF" for us) and do not want to have to manually reload everything once I change my OEM lock status.
I think there was just an update like a day ago that addressed compatibility issues with newer devices, or rather, the xoom.

Let me start by saying thank you to all the devs for making rooting the Nook Color (NC) possible.
I'm having a couple of issues after MN rooting and installing the 1.1 Ghtz OC kernel. I'm a systems engineer with experience rooting other droid devices including my HTC Incredible.
1. non-market Apps not loading on NC. I use dropbox to move apps to my NC. some apps didn't have any issue loading. Such as Nook Home and Live Wallpapers but others just don't do anything;i.e. prompts to install but install app doesn't open.
a. SetCPU_2.13-donate.apk : want to use for the OC kernel
b. Quickoffice Pro v4.1.2.apk : payed app pulled from my HTC Incredible.
2. XDA App does not save my login information. this is just an inconvenience.
Thanks in advance for everyones help.

1a. I don't believe SetCPU is compatible unless you are using the new 2.6.32 kernel...

2. The free XDA app didn't save my login info either. Then I upgraded to the paid version and that works GREAT!

How new is your Nook? It might be related to the partition sizes B&N is loading the NC with.

I apologize in advance, I'm not posting any solutions =( just to share my experience on my rooted 1.2 with Manual Nooter and OC 1.1 mhz kernel. It runs awesome in general, B&N interface runs smoothly and fast now, no creashes, apps I've been able to install run great. Quadrant score is 1680 . Issues so far:
1. Market is obsolete, even with Market Fix I cant see all apps I can see boot from my Phiremod sd.
2. I did find SetCPU , runs without issues, OC is fine/
3. Asphalt 5 doesnt run full screen even with Spare Parts compatability mode disabled (or enabled).
4. Air Attack HD doesnt install correctly. Runs fine from Phiremod sd.
5. Quick Office doesnt install correctly. Strange thing is that I thought it was part of the B&N package. I do see the apk but app doesnt open or install.

Can you share the SetCPU APK you used to install on your nook.
The latest version of Acer Recovery Installer is now available on the Android Market (once the market lets it through anyway) and can also be downloaded here for those that can't access the market. It is recommended you install the market version, so that you get update notifications via market when a new version is available.
This version DOES NOT include thor's latest clockwork recovery image, due to GPL violations. However, it will recognize them (1.4, 1.41 and 1.42) if installed. All new features of Acer Recovery Installer will work with CWM rev 1.3.4 (included) and higher. If you want to use thor's latest version, keep a copy of his recovery.img in the root of your Micro-SD and use the "Custom" option in ARI to install it.
New Premium Features!
Backup/Restore - This will let you initiate a Nandroid Backup or Restore procedure without having to manually boot into recovery. It will see all your previous Nandroid backups, whether they are on your Micro-SD or USB drive, and let you selse which partitions to restore. The tablet will then automatically reboot to ClockworkMod recovery to do the backup or restore process, then reboot back to normal mode.
Download/Install ROMs - This feature will allow you to download the various ROMs from the internet and initiate the install process. You have the option of having it autotically run a nandroid backup and/or wipe date before installing the selected ROM. Again, the tablet will reboot into ClockworkMod recovery to do the work.
Note about XooM based ROMs. XooM ROMs do not let an apps write directly to the Micro-SD card due to a premission restriction. So when the Download/Install ROMs module tries to download the ROM List or a ROM File on a XooM based ROM, it must download it to your /mnt/sdcard/download folder and then move it to the proper place on the Micro-SD card, which is in a folder called "ROMs". All other ROMs download directly to the ROMs folder of your Micro-SD.
Note about Virtuous ROMs. The author has not given me permission to mirror his ROMs on a server that can handle direct hot-linking. Therefore, the Virtuous ROMs could not be included in this release. If he gives me permission, or provides a way to direct hot-link to his ROMs, then I will include them.

Thank you very much. I was astounded at how easy and convenient you've made things. I think we all know how to do this manually but it's wonderful to not have to.
One question, do i need to do something to be able to use the premium features? I couldn't find a premium version of the app or anything.
It's included in v2.0. Make sure you have CWM installed, then the prem buttons will be enabled. You can bypass purchasing while until the beta period is over on Aug 26th.

That's the strange thing. I've got 1.3.4 installed off acer recovery installer v2.0. Tested by backing up. But the premium feature buttons are still greyed out.

Ahh.. what is the message immediately below the buttons? If it's not recognizing cwm, you probably don't have busybox installed. You can install "busybox installer" from the market and use that to install the latest busybox version, or... tommorrow I'll make an update that will fix the problem.
Thanks for the feedback!

I found a lot more busybox dependencies when adding new features last night. v2.1 will come out in a couple of days and all the busybox dependencies will be removed.
It will also have stock roms in the list with an option to add root access to it on the fly.

Great additions to the app. One question tho, under the stock roms the option "Disable Stock Recovery Overwrite?" if this is checked, does this mean it will leave CWM alone?

yep.. normally, stock roms will overwrite the recovery on boot-up. Having that checked will turn off the execute bit on the install-recovery.sh script, preventing it from overwriting CWM.
V2.2 is available. Has on option to install itself on top of any selected roms. Also added some new roms.

Are you on a stock ROM, or one of the custom ROMs? if Custom, which one? Do you have your google account registerd on your tablet and connected to the internet?
PM me with your google account address and I'll check to see if there's something pending.
