Anyone have success installing busybox on the 3A?
Appears to remove after a reboot, so I'm assuming ramdisk?

There's a Magisk module. IDK if that helps you out or no...

Yes, it helps. So traditional installation is out of the question?

This is what it says....if you get the pro version...it will automatically install after reboot. So I guess the answer to your question is yes, since /sbin is restored upon booting, it always needs reinstalled....whether manually or automatically.

Yeah, it doesn't work as advertised. I use that and meefik. I was reading about it and might fiddle with some stuff when I have some time.

The Magisk module has been working for me.

Better flash the Busybox Magisk module. Works like a charm.

There's another busybox app that I've been using for a while now. It's called Busybox For Android. When I install Root Browser Classic, I'm prompted to install this as well and it always worked for me.
I use Magisk as well but never the module that would replace busybox. At least I don't think?

How To Install BusyBox on Xoom?

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?

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.

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.

how do you uninstall superuser

First of all, if Superuser works for you and you have root privileges and root apps work this wouldn't apply to you.
Well, first I would go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, and look for Superuser.
If it is not there, then you might have to dig into ADB commands. Or just reflash ROM.

Go to the applications list and choose uninstall on super user.
Or go to the market go to my apps and then find super user click it and select un install.
From there install the 3.0 SU that I have listed and it should work for your device (varies among devices and roms).
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFLASH ANYTHING. Just re install and it should work . It is what worked for me.
This is super frustrating it does not give me that option i guess i need to root again even though it say S if Off

Download the APK and use astro or similar to browse to your download folder and find the apk and click and use app manager to install it.
OK I got it Thanks everyone.

Viper4android unable to install driver

I have a nexus 6p running cm13. I have tried installing v4a multiple times but with no aveil. Ive tried every single tutorial i have come across and no matter what i end up getting one of two results.
A) i open and i click on yes on the first pop up (install/ update driver) and it freezes there for a while then says drivers installed. I dont even get the option of choosing which driver.
B ) i click install driver, i choose super high quality and reboot but i end up getting the same prompt to install drivers.
I tries every solution i could find, like deleting the audio_effects.conf file or placing files manually. Ive tried EVERYTHING. Am i missing something? Does it not work on 6.0.1? Please help, im very frustrated and dont know what to do anymore.
simple install the zip here:

So i installed the zip but the driver status still says abnormal. However i do have the option to uninstall drivers which i never had before. I have busy box, do i need a permissive SELinux for this?

Its not about the zip. It is okay. It's the Busybox installer.
Use this:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox
Once you have installed. Reboot and re-install drivers in V4A. And reboot again.
My driver status is still abnormal. I installed busy box to xbin. Would installing it to bin or other make a difference?

OS Version?
Stable Magisk is 18.1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
It works on 9.0.12.

Have you cleared the cache or data for the affected apps? I've noticed apps seem to remember if they have detected root and clearing cache will usually make clear it up.
Ive cleared cache, rename any magisk word in files, i even unroot my phone.
After unroot8ng and clearing cache app is working.
After root, selec5 app to hide root and run the app, it detected as rooted device.
Easy fix
Install
Magiskhide props config
From magisk modules
Working perfectly for me
Not working at all. Installed module. Unable to run the app.

Before you do all that work, you should try Canary version 18.2 Magisk. No need for renaming files, installing a module config. Flash the 18.2 Magisk Canary and that's it.
Actually, for me it is working partly. After disable and enabling magisk hide it works for a few hours.
Will try to update to v19, maybe that fixes it.
But glad to hear not to be the only one having issues.
Edit: V19 fixed it for me.
Damn. I still havr nothing
Try going into the settings of magisk and select hide magisk manager and repackage with different name. That works for me.

Nope, doesnt work. but as long as i delete the manager away. it work.
Seems there is an xposed module for hiding an app from another, if you care to test:

Does any of this method work for you?
Hi friends,
I noted that Grab app itself also asks for superuser permission at the start.
Does anyone have a clue why the app needs it and how I can check which commands it runs?

It's asking for root to fool you. Easiest way for an app to detect a device is rooted is for it to try and gain root rights itself.
