[CWM] Busybox Installer (Feb 1)

---

A Team Nerd release

Raver and I had been discussing how to get Ext4 working on GB right away and we came up with this. You can flash this right after flashing your favorite GB ROM and you can enable Ext4 right away.

UPDATES
Feb 1, 2012
* The installer should now automatically mount the /system partition so you don't have to do anything but flash this!
* Updated the verbose output during the install to make it a little more readable

INSTRUCTIONS
All of this must be done in a single CWM sitting, NO REBOOTS BETWEEN STEPS
1) Put this file on your SD card, along with your favorite GB ROM
2) Flash the GB ROM, let it finish
3) Flash install_busybox.zip, let it finish
4) Go into the voodoo menu > enable lagfix and /system lagfix on
5) Reboot and listen to Linda say Voodoo lagfix is enabled at the end of her speech.

NOTES
* If you're having trouble mounting the SD card, check out sexton's guide! It worked for me. Always make sure to back up your SD card! [GUIDE] CONVERTING EXT4 ON gingerbread
* You don't have to check mounts for this as the installer automatically mounts everything.
* So far I've only tested this on the KH2 leak. I Odined KH2, odined the KG4 custom kernel, then rebooted straight into recovery to perform the steps above.

You are a genious! This is hugely helpful!

I was just getting mad about having to enter my google account password since it's so damn long and complicated in order to download the busybox installer from the market. I've been wondering why the ROMs don't actually wind up installing busybox. They have a separate installbusybox script, but it never gets run. The installation should happen from within updater-script itself instead.

I completely agree, it drives me nuts as well. Especially with the explosion of ROM development going on right now.

I was also getting mad that I couldn't edit any updater-script to create my own CWM zip. I wound up having to use amend2edify to create it, and I got rid of that status 6 error. Go figure, even Unix line endings didn't help.

Well, enjoy.

Great work!

This is clever -- obviously flashing busybox could be a script in the rom, but this is a good quick fix to avoid having to reissue every rom.

On second thought, I would suggest not using this script. There's nothing wrong with it, it works, but if you use the longer method you can install root explorer or something like it from market along with busybox. That way, if you get the disappearing market problem, which I've gotten with KC2, you will have some way to install stuff from your sdcard. I got the disappearing market but was able to install titanium backup and repeatedly install various versions of market from the sdcard until the market stopped disappearing. The suggested market fix of renaming the market app requires some way of renaming it and how do you do that without installing something from market to do it? Better not to have a chicken and egg problem.

If you like the script, you can always patch the rom you're flashing by unzipping it, putting the apps you want or need in the data/app folder or in system/app and then rezipping it and copying the patched rom to your sdcard. I patched ICBINB KC2 with the TW4 launcher (renamed to TouchWiz30launcher.apk) -- system/app for that patch -- and a few others. It worked fine. I had to reinstall KH2 again after Chainfire broke it and I must be learning because this time I only had to go through the routine twice before Linda started talking right.

It's about time for KH3 isn't it? hint hint....

Man, I wish that this would have been there last week. I was looking all over for an edify one, but none worked. I even converted it to edify, and It flashed, yet nothing happened.

The reason I needed it is because I was making an over scroll framework way before anyone posted a guide or anything, and I should have worked, I wasn't deodexed so I got into a boot loop, I was already voodoo but I had to flash a new factoryfs.rfs through heimdall. I just boot loop every boot because I had voodoo without busy box.
