SuperSU

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SuperSU is an Android application that can keep track of the root permissions of apps, after the Android device has been rooted.[1][2]

SuperSU is generally installed through a custom recovery such as TWRP.[3] SuperSU includes the option to undo the rooting.[4] SuperSU cannot always reliably hide the rooting.[5]

History[]

In 2014, support for Android 5.0 was added.[6]

In 2018, the application was removed from the Google Play Store. 9to5google speculated that COPPA non-compliance was a reason for the removal, or that the new owner removed the app themselves.[7]

In 2018, the original developer Chainfire announced their departure of SuperSU development, although other people will continue maintaining it.[8]

Library[]

The SuperSU project includes a wrapper library written in Java called libsuperuser for different ways of calling the su binary.[9]

Alternatives[]

Magisk is commonly being seen as a replacement for SuperSU.[7]
