What is busybox for

busybox adds back functionality of basic linux commandline cmds that get dumbed down in Android.

For an example, open adb shell or a terminal emulator on the phone and type:

ls -la

which is suppose to give you a listing of the contents in whatever directory you run it in along with all info on it such as file sizes, permissions, owner etc. Without busybox you will get a error that -ls doesnt exist.

Now try it like this:

busybox ls -la
