I can't replicate the error on my end and your cpu is armv8 so arm busybox included should work. I updated the readme for it link to the list of special binaries that may be needed. I don't have any samsung devices but maybe you need one of the ones listed for your device. Either way, not sure how to help you there

Already updated bash. Unity test branch is updated as well. I wasn't going to make it stable since very little changed but I guess I can update it and some of the others today

i need small help to compile <100kb binary file from https://github.com/divinebird/pacextractor ...
It shows 1 error when compiling .. I dont know how to fix it...
please help sir

See you already fixed it. In case you're still interested, here's build script with fixed pacextractor.c file
Updated bash binaries to 5.0.2. Finally got static arm64 binary now too thanks to @ianmacd!
Based on what I learned with bash, I finally figured out how to compile coreutils 8.30 for android! However I only wanted cp and mv after I applied some patches to them so they'll have a progress bar functionality so they'll work for sure but no guarantees for the rest of coreutils (you'll probably need to tweak some things). See OP for link to build script (and yes I'll be using these in Unity)
Hi @Zackptg5
Thanks for creating usefull tools,
I've recently tried your kernel sepolicy patcher &
I get a problem using your kernel sepolicy patcher.
It said
mv: can't rename 'boot-new-signed.img': No such file or directory
Do I have to uninstall magisk first to make it works or with magisk is ok ?
I'm on xperia m4 stock 6.0.1 twrp 3.2.1-0 & nautilus kernel.
I can't sent the actual log Idk why. xda app give an error

Updated mods to unity v4.0!
Updated kernel sepolicy patcher to use magisk tools now so it should have better compatibility now
Added coreutils module
Added option to bash so you can replace android shell (mksh) with bash. If just normally replaced, this would break boot so it is instead a late-start service script that bind mounts bash over sh each boot

If I'm not mistaken then the coreutils module isn't supposed to generate links that would replace OEM modules. However the latest version [v1.1 (8.30)] is generating all 102 symlinks in /system/bin/
Pixel 3 XL, stock, Canary Magisk
Install was via Magisk and the install log showed nothing of interest.

*******************************************It's supposed to generate symlinks for each coreutils applet but it should be installed to xbin if present. Only exception is mv and cp are symlinked to system/bin as well since they're the special advanced ones with progress bar and that won't break anything
You mean you have no xbin or is everything installed to bin? Can you add debug to the zipname, flash in twrp, then post debug log?
I have no xbin (which I think is becoming the norm with stock). I'll post the log in a bit
Oh, ok. That's an odd trend. But if it's installing to bin, it should only create symlinks for coreutil applets when a binary of the same name doesn't already exist. Of a symlink does (like a toybox applet), then it'll still create the coreutils applet so that's by design. Coreutils ones are better anyways
Not so odd when you think about the fact that system is supposed to be strictly read only.
As far as overriding toybox applets - coreutils may be (usually are) better but in some cases may act differently which may lead to unexpected results since most things will be written expecting the toybox version. It's the same reason busybox doesn't override existing applets.
However if I know that's by design I can work with it.
Updated bash to 5.0.7 and coreutils to 8.31 - sort and timeout binaries work now so coreutils is complete

59Many of you already know that I have them all of my projects listed with their respective xda threads and download links on my website, but not all of them had an xda thread. So rather than cluttering xda with a new thread for each individual mod I make, I decided to put the smaller ones here :victory:
Binaries
- Cross Compiled Binaries For Android Build Script
The new home for my binary build script. Combines what was formerly GNU and Misc build scripts into one. It contains a good number of useful binaries such as aria2, bash, coreutils (with advanced cp/mv - adds progress bar functionality), curl, gawk (GNU awk), sed, vim, zsh, and more. Check it out to see the expanding list - Keycheck
Finally tracked down the source code for this. This will compile the keycheck binary so you can use vol key selections and what not. Uses a modified build script by @osms0sis. Instructions on the repo - Zip for Android
This builds the zip binary, prepared for android by cloudchou @github in addition to a build script by @osm0sis that I modified for this. Just clone the repo, cd to jni, chmod the build script, and run it
Mods
- Cross Compiled Binaries For Android
This zip contains a term script which can install any number of the growing list of binaries I've managed to cross compile for android. Here's the repo where they're all stored - Codec Power Gating Disabler [Deprecated]
Another straightforward one. Disables codec power gating. It's needed for some audio mods like @chdloc's Biquads - Kernel Sepolicy Patcher [Deprecated]
Unlike most sepolicy mods out there, this one changes sepolicy at the kernel level - meaning no boot script crap so it'll work regardless of other mods/root solutions (or lack there of). You can choose between enforcing or permissive while flashing it - you can use this to switch at will to test stuff out or whatever - Module Manager [Deprecated - not needed with magisk v24]
Magisk Canary v23.x got rid of the magisk-modules-repo from the app. This term script replaces that temporarily until an in-app solution is implemented. Allows you to update and install mods with ease. - Overlay Mount Fix [Deprecated]
Fix for overlay mount related issues with magisk - often seen in oneplus devices with /product
- Searx Instance
Searx is a metasearch engine with a focus on privacy. It allows you to search many search engines at once without being tracked by them - I use it to remain private while using google and to for scientific journal article searching (science tab). I have more details on what it is/setup here on my website
More will be added when I come out with them. For a complete list of all of the stuff I work on, check out my website linked at the top of this post

Zackptg57So I got annoyed with crafting sed statements, testing them and making sure they work on linux shell, and then finding that busybox and toybox sed can't handle it. So I cross-compiled GNU sed for android, problem solved
I decided it'd be best to combine all of the GNU binaries I got going into 1 mod so bash, coreutils, and sed are all in one GNU-Utils mod now5Finally got around to looking more into GNU and ended up reworking the build script and as a result, the mod here. Dropped v4.0 update. Changelog:
- Update findutils to 4.7.0
- Update bash with to 5.11
- Fix Fortify issues with cpio, gzip, and tar
- Add perl regex to grep
- Switch everything to NDK
- Fixed sort and timeout in coreutils (almost, sort can't read in files so just pass it through instead - ex: cat file.txt | sort)
- Switched to dynamic link (except bash and gawk)
- Removed ncurses - no reason for it

So on some oneplus devices, some directories are mounted at boot as overlays (google overlay mounting if you're unsure of what it is). The problem here is that when an overlay is created, it effectively overwrites the destination which nullifies anything magisk has already mounted. So any modules that had files mounted to where the overlay is won't work.Could you please give an example of a situation. I still don't really understand
I think of overlay mounting as combining multiple folders into 1.
So for example, during boot, an overlay mount is created for /product/priv-app:
/system/product/priv-app
/system/india/priv-app
/data/adb/modules/somemagiskmod/system/priv-app
/data/adb/modules/anothermod/system/priv-app
S the mount command would be:
Code:mount -t overlay -o ro,context=u:object_r:system_file:s0,relatime,lowerdir=/data/adb/modules/anothermod/system/priv-app :/data/adb/modules/somemagiskmod/system/priv-app:/system/india/priv-app:/system/product/priv-app overlay /product/priv-app
this would take all 4 of those directories and essentially combine them into 1 in /product/priv-app
Timing is important here. This overlay is made AFTER magisk has already mounted module files which means that the overlay pretty much overwrites them.
So what my mod does is effectively unmount all overlay and related magisk directories/files and remounts them as unified overlay mounts - Cross Compiled Binaries For Android Build Script
