It's recommended that you don't use it. Interface to install BusyBox 1.21.1 (just ARM architecture for now as the other ones can't be built) as well other versions off the internet (if you're brave). Don't install the 1.21.0 version as it isn't in the apk. BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. Android usually comes with a very limited multi-tool called Toolbox and sometimes it is crippled even more, so a standard Busybox is often needed by root apps that need to do different jobs. The app allows you backup and restore current binaries; to disable individual applets and see their help documentation. Just in case something goes wrong it would be wise to have a system image nearby that can be flashed via recovery or fastboot. The range of applets in [https://raw2.github.com/tias/android-busybox-ndk/master/android_ndk_stericson-like this] version isn't identical to the upstream version. Requires root. .

It's now using gradle but it's half baked at r40. Busybox x86 and MIPS don't build for me with linusyang setup with stericson and basic configs. The Tias setup won't patch properly; maybe it's my version of sed. Recommended toolchain is 4.4.3, but f-droid doesn't have that. For 10.3 I just ripped out the prebuilts; it seems to be OK but somebody should verify. This is all I had to go on: https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/busybox-installer/page/2/#post-10075, but the source code is so messed up and the blobs are still there :\ Could consider use of standalone toolchains for compatibility with older NDKs: https://github.com/cernekee/openconnect/commit/9df6672d7c80ceef2ed41 .
