Update BusyBox to v1.24.1

Have you planned to update BusyBox to version 1.24.1 (see busybox.net)?

Support more basic options for all applets for usability

Hi
When trying to run a very simple script in my Android device, having this BusyBox version installed, I've noticed that many commands simply ignore or don't support basic options. I'm used to BusyBox in embedded environments like LEDE/OpenWRT, yet, I never had this problem.

Just to give you an example: 'dd' completely ignores suffixes (for sizes: K, M, MB, ..), 'ls' option '-A' or -h' doesn't work and so on.

addition of more utils

is there a procedure to add new basic command line utils. ( I want to get "dir" and "nano"

wget + SSL/https not working

Am I right that busybox wget should support SSL at least to some degree?
Why is it that https-URLs still fail in various ways?

$ wget https://www.example.com -O- | wc

Traditional Chinese translation does not work

Steps:

Download & install BusyBox 1.25.1
Settings > Language > **传统
Go back
Traditional Chinese translation is not display, instead is Simplified Chinese.

To fix it, the values-zh path should rename as values-zh-rCN and merge #19.

No Network

Hi,I installed Busybox in Xbin Worked Like Charm But Some Old Apps Require It in bin So When I Installed It In Bin it Had a Very Strange Behaviour.I Can't Connect To Internet Via Wifi Or Cellular.Any Help?

Update BusyBox to 1.25.1

As BusyBox website, this version has largely bugfixes and improves then 1.24.2 and the size is lighter.

Autoconfigure DPKG

Hi! Would it be possible to make dpkg be configured automatically when installing busybox? As of now, it is difficult to actually use to install packages, as none of dpkg's required directories are present. For example, dpkg seems to require having /var/lib/dpkg with bunches of files inside, but those do not seem to be present.

More install path option

Hi! Please add, In the settings > install path, this option for semplify the work/decision for the no-expert users:

Install on /system/xbin
Install on /system/bin
Install on /su/xbin
Install on /su/bin
Install on Custom Path

P.S: sorry for my bad english, I use Google Translate.

Feature: Check for root on startup/information

I think it would be a good feature to check for root when the app initially starts up or when the information but is tapped. Maybe a line under the System section that says something like * root: yes/no. Currently, the only way to check if you have root is to either install or remove busybox.

Systemless install support

Starting with Android M, many root-dependant application insert their files into filesystem by loading them from image, which is picked up by patched boot. This way, it's both easier to wipe root in case it's not needed, and allows for OTA updates, which now check if /system has been remounted even once, and just dump the whole system image instead of per-file upgrade. This means that if one is to tamper with /system, he had to reflash the whole ROM to enable the OTA again. This can be avoided by baking the whole BusyBox and symlinks inside image, and deploying it via Magisk, for example. For reference, both SuperSU (Android 6+, custom systemless scenario) and Xposed (Magisk version) use this, and that's not counting things like SafetyNet bypass, ad blocker, VIPER4Android, and whatever new fad people come up with. So supporting this would be nice.

Hang on "Loading..."

Device: nexus6 (shamu)
OS: Resurrection Remix (CM based)/MultiROM AND SlimROM/MultiROM
Root: Yes/SuperSU
Downloaded from: F-Droid
Version: 1.25.1

When I run busybox 1.25.1, the terminal is stuck "Loading..." The menu button works, but the "Information" button does not. Logs are not saved (no /storage/emulated/0/busybox.log file exists) even if logging option is turned on. The issue is not present with 1.24.2 or 1.24.1 (the entire application works as expected). The problem can be reproduced in SlimROM and Resurrection Remix.

F-Droid version

Hi! The F-Droid version is stop to 1.25.1 (from 04/11/2016); is possible update it??

Can't update to 1.28.3

Device is stock Lollipop 5.1.1, rooted.

I successfully installed Busybox v. 1-27-2 via APK file. For some reason, trying to update to v. 1.23.3-36 fails with an "App not installed" message. Any ideas?

BTW, thank you for making your Busybox open-source; I will be sure to donate.

VersionCode updated (34->35) without increasing versionName 1.27.2

I looks that new version has been released without increasing versionName. Also tag is missing.

162f7bc

It is confusing and probably causes issues with F-Droid version auto-detection:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/ru.meefik.busybox.txt

Zip saving issue

No matter what path I choose the app is unable to save the archive. App has root permissions, and I've tried setting selinux to permissive also.

System is android 6.0

Allow 'touch' command to manage full precision timestamps

Hello @meefik
(Sorry if this should have been sent to the original BusyBox author, I just don't know how to contact him...)

The 'touch' command in BusyBox seems not able to handle full precision timestamps (with micro/nano seconds). For example, touch -d "2015-01-01 01:01:01.123456789" File currently returns "touch: invalid date '...'". Also, the -r parameter does copy timestamps up to seconds precision (2015-01-01 01:01:01.000000000).

If anything can be done, many thanks.

UX: Make settings easier to access

Something as important as the installation settings shouldn't be behind a menu overflow, among unimportant settings, when there's so much unused space. I recommend moving the BusyBox section of the settings screen to the main screen, or at least putting a settings button on the action bar.

This proposal may seem petty, but I'm proposing this because I found it confusing how linuxdeploy didn't work despite installing the meefik BusyBox. Since the main screen was so minimalistic, with only the buttons of Install and Remove, I thought there's nothing else to customize about the installation. I think making the settings easier to access would make things more intuitive.

Also, the button leading to the installation settings was easy to find in linuxdeploy, in plain sight on the main screen, so I expected them to be just as easy to find in this app as well.

Add an option to hide desktop icon like linuxdeploy

There is little operations for busybox through GUI.
It looks like clean when an option to hide desktop icon is available!

Illegal instruction?

oldish device armv6-compatible rev 5 (v61) (swp half thumb fastmulti vfp edsp java) running linux kernel 2.6.32.61 06 (armv61)

trying to install the meefik busybox gives a wall of "illegal instruction" is this device just too old? any suggestions? log included. worth mention the stericson busybox installs and runs fine but will not work with linuxdeploy (since the ar is missing that some distributions ubuntu/debian? need to install)

edit:installed older 1.24.2 to get around issues

about ln command in busybox

please any one help me in fixing this error while I was playing with my terminal I tried to create hard link using ln command it is saying function not implemented
please help me in fixing this issue
thanksssss

not big but important

by default if you don't pay attention busybox install under xbin folder on my rom, and we got allready busybox under bin folder, it is under sdk, then it is interessting to make "alert" about it. Because like me i lost many hour to make linux(meefik) system work, all time call to busybox under bin folder, older... Thanks

Question : Differences between your busybox and stericson.busybox ?

Hi,

f-droid.org says that your application :

Install a recent and un-crippled version of BusyBox.

What do you (or f-droid) mean by "un-crippled version", can you please be more precise ?

Update BusyBox to 1.28.4

BusyBox 1.28.4 is released in 22 May, it has fixes for nsenter option parsing and dpkg symlink extraction.

lsblk command not found

lsblk command was not found.

Please add this feature in future update :)

mkdosfs or mkfs.vfat cannot format partition larger than 2GB

When trying to format a partition larger than 2GB I get an error
"mkdosfs: lseek: Value too large for defined data type"

With other busybox binaries it works fine. I presume that this is relevant:
http://blog.scottt.tw/2009/07/mkdosfs-on-larger-then-2gb-filesystems.html

Arch: ARMv7
Tested: Both release and trunk binaries.

trim on f2fs

fstrim: FITRIM: Not a typewriter

Download Source

What is the url that this app gets the busybox download from?

Create flashable zip please

So we just install it via twrp, no need to install apk

Smart installation

Currently you can either play safe and not to replace applets or replace all the applets. I guess it is possible to do smarter: call the commands with --help and determine their cli switches, then replace the applets with busybox ones if a busybox one has all the switches supported by the corresponding tool/toybox one

about ln command in busybox

command request [parted]

Is there any way to add this command/utility in busybox?

Copying error "No space left on device"

When trying to install BusyBox on my Motorola Xoom Wingray, I get the error:

cp: write error: No space left on device

It also fails to install new applets, error "segmentation fault"

How do I fix this?

Update BusyBox to 1.26.1

This version has lots of improvements after 1.25.1.

Issues With Mounted USB drive

#I did not seem to have trouble with this until I started using this Busybox. Since there is a mount command also in the Android toolbox, I cannot be sure the issue isn't there. But it seemed to start when using your version. The mounted USB drive seems to be seen as a read only file system when this was not previously the case.

Thanks for any help.

Edit - after removing and re-installing Stericson the problem persists. So maybe not busybox at all.

Is Tar Ignoring -X and --exclude?

I am running your busybox due to the use of LinuxDeploy. Before that I was using Stericson's. I have a nightly backup of the internal SD card on my device and I use both -X and --exclude to avoid issues of trying to tar files that are in use or otherwise not wanted in the backup. I log the output for the tar command to a file and I see files that should be excluded in the output. On other devices using Stericson's I do not see this. Is there something wrong that I am doing? Or do these options simply not work even though they are showing if I simply execute tar? Thanks!

busybox-1.27.2-34 is NOT 64-bit safe (possible security issue)

Overflows are in general very, very bad.

Installed in /system/xbin/

Classic overflow at 2^32 bytes. Android system handles the file. Toolbox handles the file. Busybox does not.

Possible bug: Applets complain about "__bionic_open_tzdata_", can't reproduce with Busysbox-Stericson

Hi
Since I started to use this Busybox-meefik, I always get this message (see screenshots) when executing some commands, this can be a deal breaking when executing scripts, since they expect a certain output.

I've installed Busybox-Stericson and there's no complaints or errors.
Maybe something is wrong or missing?

Take a look at the screenshots:
I used full path on purpose, just to make clear BusyBox shell was being used.

Busybox-Meefik

Busybox-Stericson

As you see no complaints or errors with Busybox Stericson version.

losetup -f returns incorrect loop device path

When losetup -f is run, this returns loop path as /dev/loopX but all my loop fds are located in /dev/block/loopX

I am using latest version of busybox 1.26.2

Fail install ssl_helper + problem oandbackup

Hi,

I just installed your busybox version to use oandbackup.
When i make the install, an error occured when copying ssl_helper.

Does this can make busybox not running well for oandbackup ?
Because i have bad attachment errors in oandbackup and they said it seems to be a busubox problem. What do you think ?

Phone : honor 9
Os : 8.1 aosp
App version : last one on fdroid

Make Replace applets by default

Seen from their release history, so many bug fixes and improves have been made for applets. The Install applets option have already enabled by default, but Replace applets doesn’t, that may could cause unexpected results after new version of BusyBox binaries installed. So Replace applets option should be enabled by default.

Update BusyBox to 1.27.1

BusyBox 1.27.1 is released in July 18, would you like to update?

API Compatibility Issues

Dear developers,

We have recently developed a state-of-the-art static analysis tool for uncovering API compatibility issues in Android apps. Applying this tool to open source apps on F-droid, we have exposed a few instances of compatibility issues and submitting them to development teams for a fix.

For your app, we have found that this project has accessed the following APIs which are available only on an API level higher than the declared minSdkVersion and which are accessed without proper protection. In other words, if those APIs get called at runtime, it will trigger a NoSuchMethodError and thus result in a crash of the running application.

<android.app.Activity: void onRequestPermissionsResult(int,java.lang.String[],int[])>:[23,25]

Note that, because of the nature of the static analysis, we cannot confirm whether the flagged APIs would actually be called at runtime (e.g., unreachable code). However, we still believe that those APIs, which may cause compatibility issues, should not be accessed or at least be accessed with proper protections.

In addition to the aforementioned APIs (i.e., backward-compatibility), which could cause app crashes if accessed, we have also identified that this project has also accessed some APIs that have been removed from the latest public SDK, making the app possibly suffer from forward-compatibility issues.

NONE

We would be very much appreciated if you can acknowledge to us that those reported APIs are indeed problematic for the project’s long-term stability. please let us know if you need any more information relating to this issue report.
