SuperSU Icon that suites Android's standard

I made this sleek icon for SuperSU. Also attached a pic showing how it looks in launcher.

How to keep this as icon?

Well, its pretty easy if you want to replace any app icon on homescreen using 3rd party apps. But the icon in the drawer remains same.

What I did? I replaced one of the icons that are provided with supersu's apk, with mine.

I replaced the "chip" icon. (Don't ask me why)

Get the latest Flashable zip of supersu, extract it. (Keep the flashable Zip)

Now open the folder of extract, go to system > app and find "superuser.apk"

Copy this apk to desktop for ease.

Now open WinRAR. File > Open Archive and select "superuser.apk" from desktop.

I've attached a zip file "res.zip". Extract it to a folder named "res".

Simply drag and drop the "res" folder you extracted, at the archive you've just opened in winrar. Click on replace or w/e option you get.

Now, Close the archive.

Go to winrar and File > Open archive and select the orignal flashable zip you downloaded.

Navigate to system > app. Now drag and drop the modified apk from the desktop.

Now put this modified Flashable zip to root of sd and flash it. Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Done. :good::laugh:

P.S. : if you look closely over the folder, you can also end up with your personal icon.

If you like my icon please press the thanks button. (That really gives pleasure) :p

Any suggestions are welcomed, and I request chainfire to put this as an icon choice (Just tell me then, i'll give Photoshop file) :D

It attempts to restore Blackberry-type controls in a BYOD environment.

You cannot uninstall it like user apps. The update process is identical to the user app. It's just more security that nobody uninstalls your app.

the workaround for the moment is to load twrp recovery, mount /system and /data.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I just did it. Here are my steps. They start at 12 because I first had to update from JOP40C to D.

12. pushed JDQ39 OTA update to phone using adb:

sudo ./adb push UPDATE_de8b8d101614.signed-occam-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.de8b8d10.zip /sdcard/JDQ39-from-JOP40D.zip

13. booted into TWRP using sudo ./adb reboot bootloader

14. in TWRP I flashed the JDQ39-from-JOP40D.zip (wouldn't verify the signature so I proceeded without that)

15. in TWRP I flashed the SuperSU-v1.04.zip

16. rebooted to system

17. Verified that I was running JDQ39 (settings > about phone)

18. verified that I have root by opening Titanium Backup

Everything looks good

How do you uninstall SuperSU?

I want to "unroot" and uninstall SuperSU. I selected the option of "Full unroot" in the SuperSU settings and it worked (at least, the Root Checker app said that the phone was no longer rooted), but I want to remove the SuperSU app altogether. I can't figure out how, though. Thoughts?

normally the full unroot should help, but maybe you need a reboot...

Well, I finally had the permission issue just now on my N10 with SuperSU v1.04, but I wasn't able to find the root cause. Re-rooting using CF-Auto-Root, followed by re-installing SuperSU from Play did fix the problem, but I'm still not sure what the actual cause is.

In any case, I did this and it seems to have worked:

2.) navigated to /system/bin/ and didn't see su, so moved on

3.) navigated to and deleted /system/xbin/su

4.) rebooted

5.) SuperSU was still installed, so I went into the app settings and used "Full unroot" and the app closed on its own

6.) rebooted

Although, those apps that I granted SU permissions to still have them, so I don't suppose I'm really unrooted (or does everything granted SU permissions retain them even after a true unroot?).

So should I clear data and reinstall, or try something else? Thanks.

According to Chainfire's twitter account, there's an update "incoming" so this may fix your issues.

Unfortunately it will probably not fix the issue if you are already suffering from it, though it will prevent the issue from occurring. I'd just advise unrooting and re-rooting using whatever method is customary to root your device.

With the last few versions of es it's as simple as just opening the app. Normally es asks for su when opened, I receive the toast, and everything works fine. The last few versions at least half of the time when app is opened I get no toast and within 15 minutes my ram is full. There are a few similar complaints on the playstore for es so I guess I'm not the only one.

If you could figure out a reason for this it would be great but I don't expect supersu to make up for inconsistencies or shortcomings in other devs apps.

I can confirm that now settings doesn't disappears now when you convert SuperSU to system app after Play update.

But you need to reboot twice: first time when you select convert to system app after Play update and it says "Cleaning and rebooting" (auto reboot) and, second because after boot it's still shown as not system app so you select it again, and to show icon in app manager again you need to reboot again.

Don't just flash it right after the update because you'll lose your prefs, at least I have when I flash it. But most updates worked just fine and SuperSU did its magic and I kept root.

Were you on 1.04 or 1.05 when this broke ? It is known the 4.2.2 OTA breaks 1.04 OTA survival, but with 1.05 it has worked for me with the 4.2.2 on several attempts across several devices.

I just updated my N7100 (almost identical device to your I9305), and it installed two OTAs in a row and it kept root both times for me. But if you are also using Triangle Away in workaround mode, you need to be sure to wait for Triangle Away to restore root access before pressing the install button, or root will be lost.

I have a slightly bizarre situation that I can't understand at all, but is basically as follows:

My I-9305 suffered badly with the "dumpstate" on SuperSU v1.00 (cycle of devouring available RAM and heating up until inevitably restarting) and nothing seemed to help other than removing SuperSu altogether. Continuing to have problems through to SuperSU v1.04 and noting what Chainfire said about this actually being caused by crashing processes, I did a complete wipe a flashed the latest carrier ROM for the device (UK EE 4.1.2).

Despite re-rooting several times and having wiped everything, I keep ending up with SuperSU (now 1.05) saying it needs to update binaries but failing to install,

however

having I do have root and SuperSU seems otherwise to be functioning perfectly. Having downloaded Superuser, it reports that the binaries in use are SuperSU 1.05. Does this mean that the binaries are in fact up to date and SuperSU is erroneously reporting that it needs to update them?

Thoroughly confused and would quite like to know what's going on but wonder if I should really care as long as everything is working ok and I'm just getting an error message that doesn't effect usage? Is this likely to cause me problems down the line?

TIA.
