By default SuperSU 'allow root during boot' (or something similar as I don't have UI is not in English), is unchecked and this appears to cause apps not received root consistently.

As far as my tests goes, SuperSU will start granting root to apps when it receives the BOOT_COMPLETED message, however this message is send in a serialized way to each app having requested it, so any app using root during boot will receive root very inconsistently.

I've verified this on a dozen devices and received numerous reports from end users with the same issue, only enabling the option I mentioned above solves this consistently.
@Chainfire, can this be fixed? Or the default reversed as it's only causing headaches?

Thanks.
