Superuser

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:06:57 +0000

Grant and manage Superuser rights for your phone.

This app requires that you already have root, or a custom recovery image to work.

Note: App and binary will have different versions. The app is updated more often than the binary is.

This app cannot be uninstalled if it was installed with your ROM or root. If there is no uninstall option, it's because you placed it in /system/app, not me. It is impossible for an app to be installed in /system/app by the Play store. In fact, the entire /system partition is read only at runtime. The only way for an app to be placed in /system/app is via a rooting process (which usually installs Superuser), or by remounting the system partition as read/write and manually putting it there.

Permissions requested are for:
Internet - updating the binary
External storage - backup/restore for elite users
NFC - creating an allow tag for elite users
Boot completed - fix database on boot

Support request emails that simply say "Doesn't work" or something to that effect are automatically deleted by our stupidity filter and will not be answered.

Recent changes:
Fix FC when entering preferences on pre-HC devices
Improve binary updater
Add button to action bar on tablets to access info page

Superuser Update Fixer

Sun, 06 Mar 2011 19:33:50 +0000

** Requires root **

This app is designed to fix update problems that come from mismatched signatures between Superuser.apk on your phone, and Superuser.apk on the Market. If successful, this app will let you update from the market even if you've had trouble before.

Special thanks to Joël Bourquard for technical help writing this, and @fitsnugly on twitter for the icon.

Note: This app requires busybox. A static build of busybox is included in the app, but is only used if you do not have busybox already installed. The included version should work on most phones. If it does not work for you, please email me at the link below so we can get it working.

Superuser Elite

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 05:15:57 +0000

* This is a license package for Superuser. It does nothing on its own. *

Superuser grants and manages root permissions on your rooted phone. This package gives you access to additional features not available to basic users.

Current extra features include:
- Advanced log management
- Per app notification/logging settings
- Pin protection for Superuser prompt
- NFC tag allow (where hardware supports it)
- Ghost mode
- App list and preferences backup/restore
- Featured Root apps list

Proposed Elite features:
- Settings backup/restore
- sqlite installer/verifier
- Root console
- A widget of some kind?
- OVER 9000!!! (It's a feature, deal with it)

These features only work on the Superuser 3 beta that you will have to download and install separately. Trick is figuring out how to get it ;-)

Selective Silence

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:09:14 +0000

Let certain callers ring through even with your phone in silent mode. Add as many numbers as you want to the whitelist and they'll ring regardless of the phones ringer setting. Also includes a quick and easy way to turn this feature off.
