[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babylonbwoy:
Hi, when installing Busybox with Stericsson Installer it allow to choose between system/bin or system/xbin to install it, which one to choose and why ? What's the difference ?

I have another question, sorry but I don't want to make another thread.

SuperSU has an option "Survival Mode" that says that we must disable it before Nandroid Backup, what happends if I forgot to disable it ?

Thanks for your help, sorry if it was already asked (search results didn't help me).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .xxx.:
For the installation paths, i dont really think it matters whether you put it in either of the above.

About survival mode, again i say it does not really matter whether you disable it or not. Your nandroid backup will go smooth.

Some developer can explain it to you in detail if any of the above really matters.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babylonbwoy:
Ok, thanks.

If anyone has more infos your welcome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
I always install to /system/xbin because you then don't overwrite the symlinks of the tools that point to toolbox (Android's poor version of coreutils). On the other hand, if you'd rather have the Busybox tools as default then install to /system/bin.

Regarding survival mode: AFAIR file system corruption (at least with my U8800pro) because CWM doesn't know how to remove the immutable attribute off the su binary, so I'd make sure it's off when restoring.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .xxx.:
Neither in htc wildfire nor in lg optimus sol disabling the survival is important. I have flashed and restored a hundred times but nothing happened..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
Well, I think this is definitely new so I put this right here: just downloaded Stericson's BusyBox Pro installer from Play Store (as usual) to my Moto X Play on 6.0 Marshmallow and it is asking for the unusual default installation path of "/su/bin". As discussed here, "system/xbin" or "system/sbin" are usually the preferred installation paths for BusyBox, so this change simply got me stuck in the process thinking where to install BusyBox. My first thought is that BusyBox is 'auto-choosing' where to be installed according to system characteristics and I should go on, make my life easier and just install where it is asking me to, but... I don't know. Does somebody have a similar experience?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circy:
I am having the same question.. I have viewed each of the 4 directories using a root file explorer and noticed /bin /xbin and su/bin su/xbin all contain ifferent files so im not sure if doing that helped me o confused me more. Lol but im not sure it matters ,well im sure it makes differences but I cant find a difference other than some symlinks may be rewritten and handled by busybox instead of androids tool box.... Once again that means nothing to me without knowing what exactly androids tool.box is... I know a couple tool boxes but unfortunantly this is not one, ;)... So if anyone has a link to explain this or an educated opinion that would be great! Thanks..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shagerty:
Also looking for this answer rn.. haven't found it yet.. this is my first look, from experience I believe MM build is recognized and BusyBox recommends install location based on Android Version. I'll look for a more definitive answer and post if I find.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
UPDATING: I'm wondering that being MM, Busybox installer chooses su/bin path automatically (some suggest "su/xbin", which is not present in stock MM, hence installer su/bin choice) in order to make Busybox "systemless". SuperSu actually does the same. Though I'm pretty sure about this, I'm also looking for confirmation. Since this thread and its early answers even date back to 2012 when there was no MM and "systemless" stuff wasn't that popular (I assume) they point to install Busybox in "system/xbin" or "system/bin"...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mainak007:
It really doesn't matter where you install either system/bin or system/xbin.........it always symlink to other as example if you install to system/bin then it'll symlink to system/xbin and vice versa

thanks, I'm currently looking for pros and cons of intalling to:

/system/xbin

/system/bin

/sbin

custom path

I've read that one of those paths was temporary installation and that on next reboot it would be deleted. I want to installit permanent.

Banking / payment apps are looking in 3 mentioned paths to detect whether Android got rooted or not: hence best is to install BB to custom path.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyShane:
BusyBox Pro says that it can is unsuccessful at installing in the /system/xbin folder on my Moto G Stylus 5G, I don't suppose anyone could explain to me why this keeps happening could they? Also, I don't have the option to install to /system/sbin either. The only options I have are /system/xbin, /system/bin, and custom. But when I install and reboot i have to reinstall BusyBox Pro again. I noticed in the settings tab that you can have busybox, on every boot, reinstall to /sbin....how is this possible if you install to /bin? also, how can I get it to install to /xbin? there is also another option that says busybox will, on every boot, be removed from /sbin as long as busybox has been installed to /bin or /xbin, but the feature I'm speaking of assists kernels that re-install busy box to /sbin on every boot.....OMG!!! Which option do I choose? Or should I not choose any, and just reinstall each time i boot up, which will be very tedious.....Please HELP!!!..... Also, should I choose Smart Install? Or just use install without the Smart Install option ticked? Sorry I see there are similar posts here, but I don't really understand where I would install if i chose to install to a custom path, which is why I'm asking such questions if it seems repetitive I apologize. Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bonez537:
Hey Guys I dont know if this goes here or not...

My WIfe just got an Acer A200

Is there a forum for this? I found the A500 and the A100.

Which is closest to the 200??

Thanks..

Please dont blast me..and if you move the thread please M me the location.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
There is no dedicated A200 forum, however given its a 10" acer tablet, the A500 forums seem to be where A200 users post, though I don't think it much matters either way. But for what you want, the A500 forums are your better choice I think.

Just to let you know though, a post like this goes in General :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CivilE:
I hoping that someone may be able to help me with this… I recently rooted my note via instructions here and installed CWM and TiBu. So far so good!

I began freezing some of the bloat and then found this post to see what else I could freeze. This is were things went wrong… I guess that I may have frozen something that I shouldn’t have because my home button stopped responding and then the back button took me to a black screen.

At this point I thought that my phone was nearly bricked, so I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and flashed it. Still have a black screen, but I received a text and pop-up through chomp which let me know that my phone was still alive! I installed Go Launcher and can now can use my phone as 'normal'. However, I no longer have root according to TiBu, CWM and the like. I can still boot into download and recovery modes.

I found this thread, but it didn’t do much for me.

How’s that for an introductory post?!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CivilE:
ICS. I've seen all of the tools in that thread, but not sure if I need the screwdriver or the hammer to 'get my root back' in this situation. Ultimately I'd like to be able to do it without having to do a full wipe/recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Freezing an app will not brick your phone...

and in this case....you did not need to flash a new firmware. you could have simply pulled the battery, then put it in and booted to recovery to restore a backup.

but of course, the new firmware did break root....

bigjoe is right on the links info. it has all you need to start again.....and I "would" re-root using the odin CWM flash method......

In the general section, under the "galaxy note everything" thread.

All you need is there....g

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CivilE:
Good to go!! Apparently twlauncher was inadvertently frozen which explains the black screen. Had I realized what the problem was, yes a simple recover from backup might have fixed it.

So tell me this, as I am still learning here... What is the difference in the method in bigjoe's thread vs trying to re-root my phone by the method I used previously? Whenever I tried to install SU after the original method I used, I would get a failed signature error. No problems with using bigjoe's recommendations.

I see what you did there ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
The difference is ....bigjoe is a god among men, and probably led the Crusades in a previous life.

I'm quite certain he drank beer with Khan and Hun. Now ignore those historical timelines because bigjoe was there ...period !!

Those things, combined with the fact that he invented the first telephone, make him knowledgeable in all things android and beyond ....so take his word for it ...

And ..after every post ..please use the phrase ....." BIGJOE FOR MODERATOR"....

While it isn't the Crusades over again, he certainly deserves to be one.

After all ...he did invent the telephone for cryin out loud .....LOL

Fast enough for me, rooted, i can use stock samsung apps like "s note" and calender, and modded tethering for the occasional connection I need.

Also some of the newer games are slower than stock. I get much lower quadrant score on cm9. Is it because stock is more optimized?

I tried many roms including some that says "stock" even though there's a lot added to it. So I just created my own. Stock, deodexed, debloated, no additional mods except 15 toggles.

You were trolling, his "policing" was more than justified. This is supposed to be a positive thread about what people like, not about your bad experiences. If you have complaints about something you got for free, that somebody put together on their own time, and was generous enough to share it with you, please, keep it to yourself. Bashing a ROM doesn't help anything.

Besides, your screen was on nearly that whole time. What do you expect? When it's on that much, the battery, processor, and screen heat up, losing efficiency. Your results are typical. If you don't have anything positive to say about a ROM, don't say anything at all.
