I'm trying to put Busybox on my phone but every time I try and install it my phone restarts. My phone is both rooted and unlocked boot loader . Is there a .zip or an alternative to install it ? Thank you XDA
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SmiLey497:
You need a writable system at boot or S-off
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Clamhost:
So if I flash the GPE ROM I will have a writable system? Certain ROM's only? I ask because my main M8 cannot achieve S-Off currently.

Thanks,

OK so as you have noticed kit kat does NOT allow third party apps to write to the SD card, this is stupid, but lucky for us we have a fix IF you are rooted

we have 2 solutions

1) using root explorer or something similar go to

and enter the permission that i have circled in red below (see attached) then it will work. Enter it so it looks EXACTALLY like it does below

2) the other option that MAY work is to go to the play store and download SDFix, that does the same thing (however myself and a few others are reporting that it isnt working as it is written)

big thanks to Mr Sam Epic for showing the fix, which came from Unknown Force in a SGS4 forum

****edit 4/19

had a few reports of SDFix not working, it didnt for me, i thought it was just a random error, what i did to fix it was to go into platform.xml and manually edit the permission so it looks exactally like the image below, i put in the extra return after the permission, there is not a logical reason why this fixed it, but it did
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradthemarsh:
Also if you're going the non-rooted approach, although not necessarily preferred, it does work to just copy stuff with the stock my files app, as it is a system app rather than third party.

If you are rooted and do the fix I listed above and then reboot you should be able to change the directory it saves to, if not uninstall and reinstall the app and all should be fine

INFO:

Model: SGH-M919

Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g93df44d build02@cyanogenmod #1 Fri Jan 31 22:47:46 2014

ROM: CM 10.2.1-jfltetmo

Build #: cm_jfltetmo-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36I 5ce70171d1 test-keys

Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7

Basically, ever since I flashed AOKP a while back, my phone has been acting weird. Every once in a while the phone will freeze and black lines will appear, immediately followed by the phone re-booting. It happens completely at random. Afterwards, I flashed various ROM's and Android versions thinking that maybe the ROM was the issue, to no prevail.

Also, apps such as GoSMS, Instagram, PowerAmp, and my Camera, to name a few, bug out and either crash or freeze the phone and again it re-boots. The phone doesn't produce sound (from internal speakers or headphones, when plugged in). The Camera app will not record videos, or lag when record button is pressed, overall most of applications bug out and dont work the way they're suppose to.

My main concern is the random re-booting and what might be causing it, and what can do to fix it?

Thank You for the Help!

Yes that would be correct. Using the home file is like using all 4 files only the home file doesn't wipe before installing. It installs firmware like an ota update would. I thought using the 4 files would reset you, and give you a clean install.

I got my n5 a month and a half ago, and have noticed that it almost always has to reload the launcher, and when I play any high memory games (asphalt, gangstar ect.) My music app is killed. I'm surprise by this as my nexus 4 never had these issues. I also only have 400-500mg avalible ram sometimes less, and on my nexus 4, I usually had 1-1.2gb

I'm curious as to what the best solutions for this are? I have used a few kernels (elementalX, faux, Franco) and all have had problems keeping apps in memory.

I'm not one of the more expert opinions, but I am on MI9 and staying. Once you go to MJ5, root is not as easy (Kingo only vs Kingo + RDLV), also Region Lock Away will not work.

Get a text editor like Notepad++. Find "updater-script" in your ROM's META-INF folder and open it with the editor. Remove all lines before "mount ('ext4')..." so that the file would start with the line "mount ('ext4')...". Save, exit, WinZIP/WinRAR will ask you whether to update the package, choose "Yes" and your package is ready to be flashed.
