Root with custom recovery and have yet to install busybox.
From my understanding busybox helps root related apps run? But I have like 10 root apps and all have performed perfectly so far. So is Busybox still needed?
Busybox is not needed to run root apps that's why all your apps are working

If you read the busy box app description it's clear that it's required for proper functioning of many apps, especially apps that use kernel functions.
I know that FauxClock/FauxSound won't work properly without it.
I think terminal emulator also....
Maybe you are just lucky that your root apps don't need it? Given its a very unobtrusive app I would just install it.
Ok thanks guys just got a flashable zip so going to go throw it on.

It's in the play store:

If a root app requires busybox, I typically uninstall the root app and find something else to do the job.
Requiring busybox is sloppy IMO.

The app should include all utilities necessary to sustain itself. Titanium Backup is a great example of how this should be done.
Couldn't disagree more, but lets leave it at that

only messed with apks once, but I noticed not all the files in the apk I was messing with were compressed to the same level..
I had to add one separately with 0 compression to make the apk the similar size as the original. for some reason I was being anal about it at the time... just a thought

I always compare's the compression level with the original apk...
Almost all time the size of modified apk and original apk matches (maybe with a difference less than 1 mb)

That's up to you. Just bear in mind that as its experimental, not everything works so don't waste too much time trying to get something working that may simply be down to a problem with ART

ok, art depends on precompiling code emlements, which means, eg. if you edit the layout files, it can be possible that the precompiled data leads to the force closes - especially dynamically created views, can be a killing options :/

Where is this Precompiled data located in ?
I tried wiping data,cache,dalvik-cache Still the problem exist..
Does this issue somehow related with classes.dex ?

There's no reason to switch, since now you can get the same speed with this. I flashed the mods on my N5 and N7 and have noticed a considerable increase in speed on both devices.

dalvik and art are two independent runtimes, both implemented in android since 4.4.0. the dalvik machine uses .dex files, in a small kind of "precompiled". wiping the dalvik cache only deletes dalvik related files, like the .dex files.
for art, sorry i dont know where they are located or how they are made :/
maybe try to install the modified app in dalvik, and then switch to art, so the data of the app i new compiled.
can you post a logcat?
take a look here, it seems similar problem...
maybe invalid package error?
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61916
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027663
you can switch to dalvik, delete the apps data in /data/data ..., install the modded apk and switch to art again
I did search but I couldn't find anything, sorry if it causes any offence.
I am having trouble updating to 4.4.2 for some reason. The bootloader is unnlocked and the device is rooted withTWRP recovery installed.
How would I go about updating whilst preserving all data etc?
Many thanks
You can flash an ota update, or fastboot flash the factory boot and system images.
If you factory flash, you will probably have to format /data to avoid issues.

When going to the Dead Trigger 2 page in the Play Store I get the message that my device isn't compatible. I am running the new ProBAM ROM and I had the LCD density set to 420 so I changed it back to the default stock density which I believe is 480 and I still get the same message saying that the device isn't compatible.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, would you please be so kind in telling me how to get the the Play Store to recognize my device as compatible for the Dead Trigger 2 game? Thank you!

I have no idea or info on why its supposed to be banned, but it was just created on the 18th so maybe it just that the moderators haven't noticed yet? Like I said I have no understanding on the situation or anything, I was just curious why he wasn't allowed to mention a ROM thats available for download here on XDA.
