[Q] Install busybox

Anyone knows how to install busybox?
I've tried to follow some guides but ends up with:
Code:
215:Desktop ricardo$ adb push busybox /data/local
580 KB/s (1083568 bytes in 1.823s)
215:Desktop ricardo$ adb shell
$ su
# cd /system/xbin
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cat /data/local/busybox > busybox
cannot create busybox: not enough memory
or
$ su
# cd /data/local
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# dd if=/data/local/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Out of memory
or
$ su
# cd /data/local
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# ./busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin
cp: can't create '/system/xbin/busybox': Cannot allocate memory

same here. cannot write to rw-mounted /system.
sucks

Try my zip file. Woked for me
The only thing that I want to change and I can't is the init.rc file. I tried to mount the / (rootfs) with rw, but every time I restart my device the file is copied, again, from the ramdisk image.

I have the same problem

What should I do with your files?
Nobody has a solution to this?

I don't think this is a memory issue though, .. added 512mb swap and still it claimed to be out of memory, ..
also I figured maybe hd space .. however when i ln /data/local/tmp/busybox to /system/xbin it had the same error.
I both tried ln from the system and ln from busybox both had same result.

It's not a memory problem! In order to install it you have to be in recovery mode.
Try:
While in recovery mode use adb to connect to our phone. Now transfer the zip file (busybox.zip) to your phone and install it via clockwork recovery -> install zip file -> select my zip file.

can anyone post the proper busybox file cause for some reason the file signature verification failed.
adb push busybox-signed.zip /sdcard/busybox-signed.zip
rebooted phone held down volume button while booting ..
choose recovery, ..
choose install zip from sdcard..
then i see a lot of no and one yes .. so i choose yes but the installation is aborted.

Just install titanium backup and click on 'problems?' at the bottom. It will install BusyBox for you.

it has error during installation at line 4 with your busybox.zip
somethinf like can not chmod
(rooted buzz with stock rom)

Do what this guy said.

titanium install in /sdcard busybox, not in /system/bin (xbin) , so it is not usuable by other apps

i have installed it in during recovery mode in /system/xbin
how now to specify PATH for using commands from it?

you have read my mind especially since that isn't free software.

i think you need to create aliases however why install it in xbin anyways then, .. if you need to create aliases or links in bin.. ?
example
$ ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox ls
$ ./ls
if it is in a path that is included in PATH executing a command will auto look for it in all directories defined in PATH env so basicly you could just create all the directories under /data/local/tmp/bin
and just then append that to PATH env echo $PATH then append :/data/local/tmp/bin to it and busybox should work as well.

titanium backup is free software... look on the market, there's a free version and a donate version.

i have aliases in /system/xbin
they was created after busybox --instal -s
but in system allready exists some commands like ls => i want to use ls from busbox, not from system
and terminal emulator dont anderstand ^[ likes bindings

is there a definitive way to do this. There seems to be no clear way of doing it.

To install:
1) extract and push busybox to your sdcard, reboot into recovery
2) mount /system
3) if you don't have /system/xbin (you should), create it
adb shell:
# mkdir /system/xbin (if necessary)
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
cd /system/xbin
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox --install .
4) reboot and done
OPTIONAL - before rebooting replace the busybox installed by the root process in /system/bin
1) mv /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/busybox.bak
2) cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

The above is pretty straightforward. The only thing is you need to download the zip in the other thread and 'busybox' refers to the binary in the zip rather than the whole directory - as I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong but trying the dd command on the dir will not work.

You dont have to extract the binary into a folder, just extract the busybox file direct on your sdcard. Than the dd command should work, on my phone it works fine.
But if not, does the command cat in the adb shell work?
If so, try istead of the dd comand:
Code:
mount /sdcard
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
And remember to start your wildfire in the recovery mode, that was the mistake I had done...

When the phone reboots run Visionary, for root. http://www.appbrain.com/app/visionary/com.modaco.visionary
In my case i use Enomthers Rom, located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806612
In terminal, granting su permission first, then type:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/startrom
Of course you need the proper files in the tmp folder to run Enomthers rom.

can you give info on the changes to prop?! Would like to test this on my nexus and g2 when u get it figured out.

Check the custom themes in these forums. I personally made a black and red one that's in mr. apocalypse's gingerRED theme. You could also take the messaging apps from any us variant galaxy s theme.

I am trying to find a solution to a problem I was having with the stock messaging app, as mentioned here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007282
I thought re-installing the stock messaging.apk might fix the problem. Is it just a matter of removing my current messaging then re-installing? Or can I re-install over the top?
Noob question; assuming I do have to remove the current one, how do I do that? TiBa?

You'll need root to do that,
in adb:
adb push Mms.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/app/Mms.apk
cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app
busybox mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
Or just mount system as rw and copy them over with something like root explorer.

Is there anyway to install these apk's on CyanogenMod 7? I have tried many times and had no luck. Thanks in advance.

nexus s
Whenever i try to download this apk it always says download unsuccessful. I don't like my stock sms on nexus s
Any help?
