Rooting Questions and Suggestions for Nexus 7 2013

matt:
I believe busybox is an application that updates a number of linux commands. On my older tablets, superuser would not work correctly unless busybox was run.

Busybox does not need to be installed on a custom ROM...
It's an application as matt says, once the root process is complete you run the Busybox app to install the Linux/Unix commands that Android does not have. The application has a GUI which runs you through the process of installation.

So I don't need to worry about BusyBox if I have the ParanoidAndroid ROM installed? Will I lose any functionality if I don't have it installed? I only ask cause I'm having some issues with my bluetooth.

If I needed to install it, would I find it in my list of installed applications, or would I find it through TWRP?

Thanks for answering all my noob questions!

JayJ:
No the Linux/Unix commands are not your problem, the commands are needed at the "root" level.

It'll be in your list of installed applications.

This might be interesting for those wanting to root, and install a custom ROM:

Also, I wanted to ask. What is a custom Kernel, why would I install one, and how do I install it?

Thanks!
