BusyBox

BusyBox is a tool that provides users with additional operating system utilities in one single executable file, which is perfect for rooted phones.

Extra commands and utilities for Android

If you have a rooted Android phone or tablet, it may be worth downloading BusyBox. It is an application that offers a complete environment of utilities for rooted mobile devices.

What is BusyBox good for?

Installing the APK is basically to have various GNU utilities and commands in a single executable binary. It offers over 300 commands to manage specific areas of the operating system, increasing the number of commands that Android Toolbox already has. It's a set of UNIX tools that keep running in the background, especially when installing applications that require root privileges.

This app comes in both a free and a pro version. Both are suitable for gaining more control over parts of the system that we want to manage and that are usually out of the user's reach. If you're looking for more options, the Pro version offers a backup feature, the Advance Smart Install feature, the ability to manually select the subprograms you want, and better general support.

In short, BusyBox is a kind of Swiss army knife of tools for Android that, while not allowing us anything specific, allows us access to many functions of third-party apps.

Requirements and further information:

• Requires root privileges.
