In a layman's lanaguage- busybox is a set of command line tools which is used by applications with root privilege to alter data on restricted partitions of system.
It's a must have for any rooted user who want to alter their device to their liking not usually allowed in stock ROMs.

Use SuperSU instead of SimpleSU. As I explain in the Traveller DSC thread, SimpleSU's su binary isn't seen as a valid binary by certain apps. Stericson's Busybox installer is one of those apps.
You could also switch to Traveller DSC, as it uses SuperSU and includes a comprehensive busybox binary.
cant i just use some other app for it without changing the rom

You can install SuperSU from the Play Store (not recommended due to bugs in SuperSU 1.69), but you'll need to add SuperSU's package to SimpleSU's whitelist before SimpleSU will allow SuperSU to do its thing. In the Traveller DSC thread I do make a flashable zip of SuperSU 1.65 available to plug into /system, which is the best way to go. This will replace SimpleSU's binary and allow the Busybox installer to function. If you go this route, make sure to read the post regarding SuperSU.
Regardless of which way you install SuperSU, all apps requiring root will require that permissions be granted again, since you are changing both the su binary and the Superuser app.

Here you guys have a SuperSU CWM flashable package that works on the CWM recoveries of the X8 - and will replace the default Superuser by ChainsDD
"su" goes into /system/xbin and "Superuser.apk" goes into /system/app
There's also an undo CWM ZIP attached that will restore ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary in case Chainfire's SuperSU doesn't work for you.
Tested to work on GingerDX v022 and v025 - try on other ROMs at your own risk.

What exactly does it do?

It's a "better than Superuser" solution. I added the links to the article on XDA's portal as well as to Chainfire's SuperSU thread ... just have a look.
Thanks B.Jay!

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and try clearing the data cache of SuperSU.
I tried SuperSU on the cellphone of my step-daughter (GingerDX v022 on Alfs) and the only problem I have is that Titanium Backup gets stuck after obtaining super user privileges (already Allowed and Remembered).
All the other apps (Root Browser, "su" in the Terminal, ClockSync) work fine; no problems with Force Closes.
Root Explorer broken by this app on a Rezound running ICS. Uninstalling SuperSU breaks root (you might want to put a warning in it somewhere). And even after flashing your fix, and using Amon Ra to re-root (there is no CWM for Rezound), Superuser can't update its binary.
Got a fix? (Other than to reinstall before you do fix it?)
Thanks in advance. Might just have to restore last Nandroid.

The UNDO CWM ZIP actually spills back ChainDD's Superuser ...
EDIT: And with a Rezound you seem to be in the entirely wrong forum section.

This appears to be only thread for app on xda; and the app was touted on Lifehacker today (and the Market, uh, er, Play doesn't say it doesn't run on the Rezound).
My problem is that I can't update the binary since uninstalling SuperSU. How can that be? I get an error "Failed to download manifest. Check internet connection." (Regardless of whether on LTE or wifi).
Interested in your suggestions.

Well, if you can tell me into which directory the "su" binary is supposed to go I can create you a customized "undo" CWM ZIP.
The one attached above to the OP post copies "Superuser.apk" into /system/app (that much is the same on all Droids) and "su" into /system/xbin
If that matches with how it should be on the Rezound then simply flash the file - if "su" needs to be in /system/bin instead (or some other totally mind boggling location) tell me and I repack it for you.
On that note: There is a thread of Chainfire for SuperSU - this is just a repack of his CWM ZIP as it doesn't work on the X8
Chatted with my ROM developer who said "leave su & binary alone," so Nandroided back to pre-SuperSU and we seem to be okay.
I like the concept, just can't run (yet). Thanks anyway.

I have a problem with SuperSU. SetCPU and other apps that has an opption to "Set on Boot" does not work. I have to open the app for it to run.
Anybody tried it on MiniCM9 ?

Thanks bro. Works GREAT on GDX.
Does not work on cm9 naa. It lags and hangs and restarts. Not recommended for cm9.
Which is better and why?
First thanks for me by: fotak-x and stamatis 16, thanks for it
Nice good job
Well I've flashed a stock official virgin rom since I'm done with customs, the question its because I have superuser premium and it has the ability to go ghost mode (hide from upgrades so the device won't lose the root) but.... I know the rooting process leave my stock rom untouched being able to receive OTAs updates on my Gnex... but I don't know if the rotting process here will be the same... I mean will I still be able to get my OTAs (aka future ICS updates). On the gtab if I'm rooted?
My tab its carrier free, meaning ill get the OTA as soon as Samsung put the little file in the OTA server... I don't think I'm flashing custom ROMs as i love some Samsung apps wich need the touchwiz framework to work but at least in ICS I got the Nova launcher waiting so i can run Samsung apps with ICS AOSP looks...
Thanks in advance for the info

unrooting is easy. Use busybox app from market to remove busybox, delete superuser app from /system/app with es file explorer or root explorer, download superuser app from market, remove su-binary from /system/xbin or /system/bin. Uninstall superuser app.

I'm having trouble with installing Busybox. I need it to set up an SSH server on my phone to quickly, wirelessly transfer files from my phone to my computer. I have tried both BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson) and BusyBox Installer by JRummy Apps Inc. I am rooted, so that's not the problem, and neither smart install nor regular install work in BusyBox, whether trying to install to /system/bin or /system/xbin. In BusyBox Installer, neither the regular nor advanced setup work. After trying to install, BusyBox Installer crashes my phone. If I try to do a regular install in BusyBox while it is processing all the components for a smart install, my phone crashes.
Could another app be causing a conflict? Or do I need to flash dsb's kernel that allows writing to the system? Would simply installing to a directory that's not in /system work, or does it need to be in /system?
Thanks for any help.
Install the stock writeable kernel.
Do you mean dsb's kernel where writing to system is enabled, or just the stock kernel? Because I'm already using the stock kernel.

DSB's kernel. He has a stock one that is writeable and a modified one that is also writeable. You should use the stock writeable.
Alright, I'll install that and see how it works out.

On my gnex I easily changed super user apps. I don't know if it's because I'm still on a TW rom or the way the device is exploited it's not able to or a different process to change the app? Everyone uses supersu by chainfire but I would like to change it to superuser by clockworkmod. I've tried the uninstall for changing apps but I just lose root access.

Keep supersu installed, download superuser app of choice, update binaries of said app, then uninstall supersu. Worked for me.
This thread is for users facing difficulties on updating the Superuser app, while running a custom or stock ROM
Most times you might be facing problems like "Singature error". I will give you some instructions on updating Superuser. Here's what you will do:
1. Open Google Play Store and install the "System Apps Installer'' application. It is free and it is compartible with Galaxy Y.
2. Open it and grant superuser permissions to the app.
3. At first, you will see a File Manager. Browse through your sdcard and find the new Superuser app version you have downloaded and you want to install.
4. For example I will install Superuser 3.1.3 . Now find the apk and click it.
5. It will know say "This app already exists. ¿Do you want to overwrite it?
6. Press yes and wait to install.
7. When it's done it will say "¡App installed correctly!
8. Open the new Superuser and update it's binary.
9. You're ready to go.
From now on, if Superuser has ever an update released, you will be able to update it succesfully from the Google Play Store.
Personally tested and working on Evo-x4.2
Get the APKs needed in the attachment below.
P.S. You can use that method too for other apps that you can't update.
And if this won't work on your device, you can try hnkotnis's SGYToolkit [AROMA]

if superuser error.. how to grand system app installer?
superuser Superuser is the app that manages
what apps on your rooted device
have access to su. Apps that are
granted su have elevated
permissions and can modify just
about any part of the system. The
app was originally written by zinx,
and I took it and made it much more
useable. The app consists of two
parts, Superuser.apk and the su
binary.
source http://androidsu.com/superuser/
As mentioned in the OP, it's a guide for force updating Superuser. I didn't mention anything about "error granting su permissions", but I mentioned "error updating su and su binary".
