BusyBox Android

Extra commands and utilities for Android

If you have a rooted Android smartphone or tablet, you might want to download BusyBox, an application that provides a complete utility environment for rooted mobile devices.

What is BusyBox for?

By installing the APK, you will basically have different GNU utilities and commands in a single executable binary file. This app provides more than 300 commands to manage specific areas of the operating system, thus increasing the number of commands already included in the Android toolbox. It is a set of UNIX tools that keeps running in the background, especially when installing applications that require root authorization.

More control functions on Android.

This app has a free and a pro version, both suitable for taking greater control over parts of the system that you want to manage and usually are out of the user's reach. If you are looking for more options, the Pro version adds a backup function, the Advance Smart installation function, the ability to manually choose the subprograms you want, and better general support.

In short, BusyBox is a sort of Swiss army knife of tools for Android, which won't allow you to do anything in particular, but will give you access to many third-party app features.

Requirements and additional information:

• Requires a rooted device.

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 1.6.
