Be nice if the dev provides info regarding rooting the device so this app will work with the corresponding rooted binary. Otherwise, a good alternative to CF SuperSU that has been bought by a shady Chinese company. Like many others, I'll be migrating from SuperSU to this app due to security concern.
I like this superuser app, and I've sort of got it working with Android Pay, with Xposed & Magik Mask; Root Checker confirms root and SafetyNet Helper passes. however... Superuser doesn't show any prompts, toasts or logs. This could be something to do with the way I've installed - when I check my phone's overview with SD Maid, the Su binary shows as Chainfire 2.72 I can't find anything obvious (to me) in the XDA thread, as I've flashed the supplied superuser.zip and there is nothing in the app itself about updating binaries Edit - I've got it to work thanks to a full rom system update which would have removed Chainfire's SU binary, flashing Magisk-v2.zip seemed to sort everything out, too bad my bank isn't on Android Pay & this doesn't help get my banking app (Barclays) to work yet
Works very well as does Android Pay on a rooted phone. UPDATE: Last night after rebooting my phone, I got a message that superuser's binary needed to be updated?? I had then lost root. Everything else seemed fine, but even rebooting didn't restore root and there was no apparently way to "fix" or "update" it. This morning, I reflashed the magisk v6 zip file in TRWP, rebooted back to Recovery and flashed the phh-supersuer-17-magisk.zip file and then rebooted and it was back to normal. Note that the root checker sees root, but not the binaries but root is working just fine.
Amazing - after chainfire decided to transfer ownership to a relatively unknown company I decided to give this app a try and this works surprisingly well. A small improvement - the su request should be a pop up rather than a full screen prompt.
This is worth money! Worked when the other method people use didn't work. Almost all reviews are 5 stars for a reason. This works great.
Super easy to unroot and reroot by flashing either the binary or stock boot in recovery. Would still love a dark theme.
Good replacements of super su but can you tell me how to make flashable zip with magisk i don't find anything on xda
Keeps telling me su binary is out of date but I see no options in app to perform said update. Tried to find a flashable one online, so such luck yet.
good, but some apps fail to ask for root. ViPER4Android is just one such example.
Still fiddly when handling root requests from certain apps, ie. V4A, AdAway, etc but all in all amazing root manager app. Feels more lightweight than Chainfire's.
Great app but lacks some of the functions that chainfires supersu app has, such as mount namespace setting. I have to keep supersu installed along with this app just for that ONE function.
Main > Settings > About > back key then you will see duplicated items in the settings page
A great alternative to SuperSU! SuperSU had a bug where I couldn't connect my phone to a computer and using this doesn't pose any probs!
Works great with Magisk, can support tap to pay compared to SuperSU and others. Works great, never had a problem with root and root apps so far... Those people asking the Binaries must not have flashed the Zip file via recovery
So glad to have a good open source option for root on Android again. Good on the developer for caring, I hope there is a way I can donate to further development.
Certain root apps previously not working with systemless root are good to go, AP accepting transactions; real forward thinking collaboration with Magisk. Thanks, y'all
After Chainfire sold SuperSU out to a shadowy shell company I ran into this. With the proper zip flashed this works with every su-requesting app I've tried with it.
Working. But keep getting binary out of date toast. How do I update the binary
Very poor experience with this application disagree device name samsung galaxy note 2
Keeps telling me the su binary needs to be updated. Tapping the notification brings me to a mostly blank screen within this app. I see no option to update my binary from in there. Root seems to be working just fine.
Nice SuperSU alternative, but please update with a option to disable root for all apps or per app.
Great developer. Willing to help anyone having problems.👍
Awesome open sourced su alternative. I wish I could help update the ui a little...
As a long-time SuperSU user, I've been quite pleased with my transition to using this version of Superuser. Bundled with Magisk it has been a perfect option for root access to my device without compromising some of the built in features of the latest and greatest Android versions. I'd highly recommend giving this a try if you're looking into Magisk at all... even if you aren't looking at Magisk!
Battery save plz no blinding white theme plz, works good ty god bles
That full screen prompt window look very weird
I have to say that it's a very nice feeling to show the finger to the shady bunch at CCMT.
I did notice that root was lost after I rebooted my phone (for another reason) ,but after a little tinkering around I found if you go into phone settings then developers options and change the root setting from whatever it's on to a different setting then root is restored ..BTW I'm on galaxy note 2 running cm13 rom ......G2KEA ..pika pika.
