Hi guys i have a problem with busybox, the phone is basically new, i have it since some days. I rooted with magisk, installed twrp and some basic app but kept the stock OOS 4.5.8. Then in order to install V4A i tried to install busybox but installation fail.. "try to a different location" it say. So i gave root to es file explorer and permission r/w to system, checked the system folder, 2.76 used space of 2.88gb (how the hell is possible? only 129mb available), permission are marked rwx r-x r-x. The xbin folder has 3.69mb total file so even there's few space it should be enough. I see a thread of arise sound system as alternative but in the info say that require 300 mb of free space in the system folder which i don't have in my brand new phone.. what i'm missing?
If I'm not wrong, Busybox is not compatible with Magisk. Among other reasons, because Magisk has already integrated its own version of Busybox so, you don't need to install it.

You should try to install the Busybox by osm0sis, look his thread with all utils : here
I had the same problem when trying to install it with the Stericson BusyBox Pro app that has always worked before.
The solution I found was to use another BusyBox install app in the Play Store to install that version then Stericson installed just fine.
So I'd recommend just trying a different BusyBox installer in the Play Store if one doesn't work. I'm using Magisk with it too and all works well (passes SafetyNet)...

Okay so I have tried all the options on their development page on G+ but there seems to be a lot of arrogance from the devs about users with issues and not doing research even though following the instructions leads to nothing.
- Im rooted via CF's systemless root method
- I have TWRP 2.8.7.2 installed and working
- Busybox is installed in /system/xbin
- I have the correct Vendor image for my device
- Stock ROM 6.0.1
I use busy box on a rail to check its correctly installed and double check with a file explorer but still no themes will apply.
EDIT : Solved it - DON'T USE BUSYBOX ON RAILS ! for some reason it does not work with Layers correctly!
1. Uninstall any busy box installs
2. Reboot
3. Install busybox app from the play store and select /system/binx as the install location
4. Reboot
5. Profit
Anyone have any ideas to get this working ?
I'll give it a try had nothing but issues trying to use layers, currently got busybox on rails installed but as you've mentioned can't get it working, I'll try as you've suggested thanks

Thank you so much for discovering this, I was going crazy why I couldn't create the overlay folder under vendor, this is the solution, to everyone who sees this, don't listen to whoever says busybox on rails is the way to go...
If you have supersu 2.65 and install busybox to /su/xbin then it will also work.
I have superuser 2.65 and following your instructions finally have layers working, thanks dude

For me with su 2.65 and busybox on rails, things are working. However, not as expected. Sometime even I change some overlay it won't apply. Sometime the dialer and other fonts won't be visible at all. May be I should try ur method. Thanks.

This method will defeat the purpose of systemless root though, right? So Android Pay and Good for Enterprise will cease to work because /system had been edited?
"Busybox" didn't load successfully in system/xbin then what or how? (2012 7 wifi)
I used Wug's all in one root. All went well. It also included the busybox app. I did the installation using the default choice of system/xbin, which appeared in a "how-to" video as well. In the video it showed that it loaded successfully. Mine did not load successfully. It specifically said that there was a conflict with the location. I tried system/bin and it basically said the same.
My main question is. 1. What does busybox do that I will need on this device, and 2. How then do I load it, as in, what options should I choose for location? Or delete altogether and reload it? and that question is asked because I want to make sure that deleting the app will not mess up my root/rom/twrp or anything else.
Thank you in advance.
busybox provides a set of linux commands needes especially when you want to run scripts e.g. in init.d
What version of Android do you have installed? Most likely there is no space left on /system and so installation of busybox failed. If you are on a custom rom, you can try to flash micro / pico gapps instead of the normal ones to leave some space left on /system for busybox, or you need to root your device "systemless" and you can install busybox on the partition provided by SuperSU ...

Download root checker from play store. If it shows your phone to be rooted, then updating will brick your device. If it shows "no root access" then you can update to Lollipop.
And, a word of advice, dont update to Lollipop. Kitkat works much much better than Lollipop on A6000+.
Also, you can try custom ROMs if you are familiar with flashing ROMs and stuff..

No app without root access can install busybox because without root access they dont have permission to write in /system directory. So, the "install busybox without root" app has to store busybox files in /data/ directory, and must be guiding other apps to that folder when some apps ask for busybox.
And without root permissions you cant modify the contents of /data/.
So, you need to install that "install busybox blah blah" again and then try installing busybox again. Then, clear data of the "install busybox ..." app and I think busybox would get removed, hopefully.
And yah, if this doesn't work you can factory reset your phone. That would surely do the job.

Yeah factory resets wipes the /data/ directory. All of your installed apps will be removed too, so you should better make backup first.
Not my credit but took me a while to figure out and I didn't find it here beforehand. So, I'm sharing it here. Apologies if it's already in a thread somewhere here.
1. Install Adaway (actually it doesn't seem to matter if you install the apk before or after the next steps)
2. Make sure Adaway has root access
3.Flash [on Recovery] AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977059])
4.Install Busybox (this did the trick)
5. Run Adaway Update, test & profit
I hope it helps others...
Installing Magisk with root and enabling systemless hosts from within Magisk is a better option. (You also don't need to install busybox because Magisk has that built in as well)

thanks body was easy.
So I've been getting lots of different questions about how to get this and that on android 7.0 nougat so to make it easier for everyone to find ill create this thread.
1. TWRP
Is twrp available for N? If so where can I find it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/twrp-3-0-2-0-n-t3506947
2. ROOT
Oh cool now I have twrp. So how can I root?
Download phh r275 version and flash
Download and install Material phh apk: Release post
Now you should be good to go. If any issues feel free to ask here or in phh official thread.
3. BUSYBOX
User friendly zip flash this and the below steps isn't needed!
Flashable zip (1.25.1) : https://mega.nz/#!zlRm3S4B!9rAtfi0wI8oFu6xjJITgF0dRwV21UPsxvZQZzMo6VXk
This one is a bit tricky. If you run root. But
Download jrummy's busybox on Gplay.
Select installation folder to /system/xbin or if u don't want to touch system folder use /sbin if available. U can replace jrummy''s busybox with stericsson version if you like it better. But you must have installed jrummys version first if you're booted into android. Else stericsson busybox might have issues installing. Or u can use zips which contains busybox Google busybox flashable.
4. VIPER
More user friendly if using this zip the below steps should only need se Linux mode changer!
Flashable zip: https://mega.nz/#!f8wlzIrB!vVCAv-xqWB8lOrcQTgIyFL0WS7MFsE9iFb08E1YKV2Y
Is quite a mess to get working. You need se Linux mode set to permissive. Flash guitarheroes version of v4a (2.5.0.5) once flashed you need to replace the audio effects in /vendor/etc/audio_effects else you'll get I/O driver installation failed. Copy the .so files to /system/lib and /system/lib64 and set correct permission. If you have wrong busybox message. Try different versions of busybox but I use latest from stericsson and it works great. Hope u get it working.
Oh and don't forget to allow sd storage access or you'll get driver I/O error as well. And se Linux changed to permissive use se Linux mode changer for it. It works great with phh!
5. MAGISK
As it seems to be now. Magisk won't work due to loop issues on boot. And mount seems to have losetup fail 1 on mounting a .img while booted.
6. Xposed
Not yet available. Be patient rovo needs time we can wait for him
7. comes soon.
More stuff.
