Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system. * Quick Install * Easy Interface * Easy to install and remove To install BusyBox requires superuser (root) privileges, but you also can use a busybox tools without root permissions. For it is enough in any Android terminal to type the following command: export PATH=/data/data/rahul.thakur4.busybox/files/bin:$PATH REQUIREMENTS: * Device with architecture arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 * Android 4.0 (API 14) or later * Superuser permissions (root) ATTENTION! This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

BusyBox APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the BusyBox APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 638fb2deaf15eed06b2071109675e73b.
