**PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS REGARDING MY APPLICATION, NOT HOW TO ROOT. I ALWAYS REPLY!**

*** I WILL NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS ASKING HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE ***
** TO LEARN ABOUT ROOT - SEE MY APP - ALL ABOUT ROOT **

**** THIS APPLICATION WILL NOT ROOT THE DEVICE ****
**** THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT ACCESS ****

**** ADVANCED UI AND FEATURES IN PRO VERSION ****

This application, Root Checker, will allow the user to confirm they have proper root ( superuser ) access configured and operational.

The goal of this application is to provide even the newest Android user with a simple method to check their device for root access.
This is a very simple application to notify the user whether or not they have properly setup root access.

This application will test the device for root access. Very simple, quick and reliable test method to check for root access. The su binary is the most common binary used on Android devices to grant root access. This application will check and verify the su binary located on the device. The test this application runs confirms proper permissions and flags on the su binary.

Gaining root access varies based on manufacturer, model, and carrier. If you're searching for root access to your device, this application will not help you. If you're interested in rooting your device, please use http://www.google.com to find the appropriate rooting support areas for your specific device. Other popular web sites which provide rooting guides are http://forum.xda-developers.com and http://forum.sdx-developers.com.

If the Superuser application is installed and working properly, it will prompt whether to accept or deny the request. Accepting the request will allow Root Checker to check for root access. Denying the request will result in Root Checker reporting no root access.

Please don't leave negative feedback about a concern, bug or issue! Google provides no way to reply to negative feedback in the Market. Instead, please email me, tweet me, contact me on IRC, or contact me on the forums with your feedback, suggestions and comments! Thank you!
