Super SU by CF
SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future

Features include:

- Superuser access prompt
- Superuser access logging
- Superuser access notifications
- Per-app notification configuration
- Temporary unroot
- Deep process detection (no more unknowns)
- Works in recovery (no more segfaulting)
- Works when Android isn't properly booted
- Works with non-standard shell locations
- Trusts ADB connection
- Always runs in ghost mode
- Wake on prompt


The Pro version additionally offers:

- OTA survival mode (no guarantees)
- Full color-coded command content logging (input/output/error)
- Per-app logging configuration
- Per-app user override
- PIN protection

Who, What Why ? - said by CF

As you may know, I make a lot of apps that use or require root. I also release rooted kernels. I run into a lot of issues with existing Superuser tools. More importantly, a lot of my users run into these issues as well and then email me about it. So I decided to do something about this. Doesn't mean these were problems you have ever seen, or will ever see.

And thus, I have written - pretty much from scratch - SuperSU. I have taken the su binary command line parameter parsing from Superuser, to make sure that is compatible. Aside from that, it is completely rewritten, because how I wanted to do a number of things was incompatible with the existing codebase.

This is not a stab at ChainsDD, or his skills. He has done great work and will no doubt continue to do so, however, I felt the need for some of these changes, and thus made them. This is an early release, so I expect there will be some unforseen issues somewhere.

From now on, all CF-Root and Mobile ODIN Pro (EverRoot) releases will be built around SuperSU.

Please note that SuperSU is not hardened-security-tested or reviewed, and may be exploitable (... as may other solutions ...).

Install :
Flashable Zip v0.93

Market :
Lite
Pro

Note : Pro is key only, you need to install lite version first.
If you install from market, you will have two superuser, remove older one with system appl remover, or any other application can perform same job.
Remember, if you remove older first without installing newer one, you will lose Root n newer won't run.
One more thing market version will be regular application, so hard reset can delete it. So better install with flashable zip, to make it system application.

Sorry to say but this belongs to General Section.

Nice one, Dr.Ketan.

Perhaps your fine installation instruction could also include this:

"Superuser (the old one) is a system app and should be removed from /system/app/ folder using Root Explorer, ES Eplorer with root permissions, or similar explorer app. Titanium Backup does not show Superuser in its app list, and therefore cannot remove it."

Otherwise you'll be swamped with Titanium questions.

This is modding
any thing android Mod, should be better place under development.
thogh let's leave it upon moderator..

CF says he has fixed that bug in v0.74, and that's the one posted here.

I have no issue with USB debugging ON

Confirmed working fine! Recommended to install via CWM. It will replace the other automatically so you don't have to manually remove it.

Newbie question here, (sorry) so you don't just download from the market/play store..... open and it will install on it's own?

It will install, but not as system application. So it is recommended to flash with CWM. as well you have to remove old manually, if you install from market
