Bananagranola nice u see u are still here helping people. Keep up the good work. I miss my DHD
Haha, yeah. I've actually moved on to a Galaxy Nexus. I've hung around the DHD forums just to help out. But I'm actually thinking about pulling back. Too many people asking the same questions without searching. Maybe if I actually stop spoon feeding information like I keep intending to do they'll stop asking and start reading and searching for themselves. :p

Well thts actually really nice of u tht despite hving changd the phone u still help people here on DHD,I moved to S3 but hate it should hv gone with HTC.Anyways the problem is not most of the guys asking questions are noobs who now want to pimp their phones as DHD is no longer in the race officially but through rooting, custom roms and stuff like tht thy can keep it in the race, but the real problem is all the guys who started with DHD (like u and others),who knew everybit of DHD hv moved to other phones or are fed up with answering the same questions again n again,coz you hv literary given answers and solutions to each and every problem. Take the ace think tank for example, all they need to know abt DHD in just one thread but people dnt really read or search and thus dnt know whts happning to their phone and end up messing their phones.
I can tell tht u being a nice guy will keep them providing support. Keep up the gud work.God Bless You.

I just flash SuperSU from the zip in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. It removes SuperUser automatically.

However, if you do it manually:
1. Install SuperSU from Play Store.
2. Open SuperSU and grant it SuperUser permissions (important; if you delete SuperUser before you grant rights to SuperSU you lose your root and need to either reflash the ROM or flash the zip I linked above).
3. Delete SuperUser from /system/app with a root file manager.
worked perfectly on my arc lt15i.Tnx

I am using the ViperDHD ROM (btw, it's a awsome ROM) too. Just curious, why do you insist in using SuperSU? I have tried both Superuser and SuperSU, I can't finger out what's the difference on daily using...
the diference is that in SuperSU i can change themes,icons and it's newer.Well for me it's that,'cause i didn't have any problem with nether of them.

And how can I replace supersu with superuser?

Some roms, like cyanogenmod have superuser included. But using both superuser and supersu may break root and if I remove supersu I can't install cyanogenmod, because I need root for flashing cfw. How can I safely replace supersu by superuser?

Like to know also, I am using S7275R ROM unofficial cyanogenmod M11

I am using a cyanogenmod also and like to know how I can replace superuser with Supersu. I don't see any superuser file located in system/app.
