Root Busybox, Titanium Backup Issues

I can't install either of these apps. Ti Backup says I'm not rooted, but that's total BS, I AM rooted. Running CM7 and Tiamat 3.3.7. I don't think I really need Ti Backup do I? I do need Busybox, correct? No dice here either. I go through the Busybox installer and it says I don't have root access. What the crap?
 
Do *any* root apps work? That was what happened to me, the entire CM7 rom was wonky and didn't believe I was rooted. I'd try the latest CM build and see if that works for you.

Well I am using the latest CM. As far as I can tell, Superuser and ROM manager work, so some rooted apps work. I just reflashed CM7 with no luck. I suppose I can try an earlier version.

Here's what it says in the BB installer. "Choose where you would like to install BusyBox.. BusyBox was found: /system/xbin/" I click OK. "/system/xbin/ is currently mounted as RW." I click Install. "It looks like BusyBox may not have been installed correctly. The version of BusyBox installed now is the same as the version of BusyBox installed before the installation."
 
i like rxpert's suggestion. try that, if that does not work then i would try and wipe dalvik cache and cache and re-flash the rom. there is no need to wipe data.

This means that busybox was already installed. This is not an issue at all. Many Devs include it in their ROMS.
 
Sometimes SU gets ******ed. if your unable to solve this in cm7 then try a sense rom get apps working the way you want then go back to cm7
 
Hmm... I'm still thinking this sounds very similar to the issue I had a while ago. When I'd try to run any root apps I'd get a warning saying that I need to be rooted. Flashing back to another rom went fine, and everything worked. But nandroid/re-install of same rom was the same. I'd wager that you'll have to wait til the next release. Unless, of course, the issue isn't one at all and busybox is just installed in xbin instead of bin.

Sorry for the delayed response. After I did my nandroid restore and flashed mikg rom I was able to install busybox and ti backup no problems. I'm not sure if it was just a hiccup with CM7 or what. I'm not sure which bin folder it's supposed to be installed in, but that's a moot point now.

My question now is, after successfully installing busybox on a given rom, if I flash to a new rom (whether it be Sense or AOSP) is busybox still installed? Or is it possible there could be some kind of potential conflict between software/OS? I don't fully understand all of this stuff yet.

If you flash properly no everything will be wiped out. You need to Do a Complete Wipe. Now Around here there is a small debate on how to go about it. Some say Wipe Then Super Wipe. In my sig is "A Flash Guide for us all" read it. It will go though the proper way to flash.
