I've had busybox working for about a month.
if you dont have root make /data/local/bin and put it in there, add to your path

Titanium Backup working

Thanks for all the help from the forum on rooting.
Titanium backup is working great on the DI.
Got Root, Manually installed Superuser, Manually install busybox. Used Titanium to install a new Busybox to the app, everything backs up great.
It's missing from the market for some reason

Did you make your root persistent? You're not going to be able to see root apps if you're not rooted, I don't think.

I could see Titanium on the market before I rooted. I would check the spelling or better yet, use appbrain.com to locate it.
how did you get superuser.apk to install?
See this post for installing superuser.apk
But how did you get busybox installed so Titanium would work?
When you go into Titanium, go to the Menu -> Problems. It will prompt you to download a version of busybox that works with it.

After Superuser.apk and su are setup
while still in recovery root (this does not seem to work if rebooted and using persistance root and remounting /system rw),
cd /system/xbin
/system/bin/cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
chmod 777 busybox
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
Reboot, Run Titanium, use Problems? button to download and install a new busybox into the Titanium app
For me, Titanium would not run to a point to use the Problems button until I put a version of busybox on the phone first.

That was easy, can't believe I didn't bother to try that, thanks
Thanks for the replies
Got it working!! Great, thanks!!
I just got my Incredible rooted and installed Titanium Backup when I run it it says "BusyzBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root:"whoami" reports "whoami:unknown uid 10108" instead of root?uid 0. I think your "Superuser Whitelist" system app does not work. Please check with your ROM provider." how do I fix this? or is it even a problem? Thanks.
same problem here
I am sure it is just a linux issue, but I am getting it too, but i am not a guru and do not know how to handle it ;-)
Can anyone explain titanium backup a little more??? Do I need to backup every app individually or just let the schedule take care of it? Which schedule option should I pick (in terms of all the options of what function you want titanium back to perform)?
I figured it out.
Just wondering, updating the version of busybox will do nothing to the root access, correct? It'll just allow titanium to work properly and root will remain?
My problem was from a not working superuser.apk. rerooted using the files from the 10min root video and now all is well. To answer the above question in regards to updating busybox, I assume you are refering to letting Titanium Backup update busybox. If so it is ok to update busybox.
Yep, that's what I was wondering. Thanks

Looking at what this backs up, I am a bit curious if it can actually restore some of it. Many sections it appears to be backing up are not writable even with root access at the moment on the Dinc.
I'm guessing it will require NAND access for this to truely be useful unless I am missing something...

That was the main purpose of me getting titanium, i'm not expecting to have the need to restore anything until i flash a custom rom. Having the backup now is awesome because i know i won't lose anything once they figure out how to unlock NAND and flash a recovery and roms
when i'm in recovery mode trying to gain persistant root i get an error.
Code:
# cd /system/bin
cd /system/bin
# cat /sdcard/su > su
cat /sdcard/su > su
# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
# rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm: cannot remove '/system/xbin/su': No such file or directory
# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
# rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/xbin/su

# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

when in Titanium and I hit the "problems ?" button it downloads busybox, but says it failed because it doesn't have root.
any help?

You need it to keep busybox, but not the installer app from the market.
I had to install the busybox from titanium and tried updating it through the installer in the market and noticed that I don't have the remount command. Is that something that needs to be compiled in a custom busybox?
