I had rooted my device and i was not able to use some applications. On inquiring further, i came to know i had to install busybox to make it run properly. I tried a lot of applications that would install busybox for me in my android but nothing helped. Thanks to this tutorial, i installed busybox manually. Now all my root applications work properly. Thanks.
