[SuperSU] claytonjn:
In the context of what you said, I believe you meant that you need to add a blacklist entry. There are two ways in which the app can be used; blacklist mode in which the app affects all apps except those added to the blacklist, or whitelist mode in which the app affects only those apps added to the whitelist. The developer recommends the latter, for reasons such as the one you encountered.

Basically, let's say you're doing stuff in Chrome and tap a forum link. Let's say you have Tapatalk installed and either select to open the link in Tapatalk or have Tapatalk set as the default handler for forum links, so Tapatalk opens. Now if you go into recents you'll see Tapatalk contents inside the Chrome listing rather than as a separate item. The implication of this is that the only way you can get back into Chrome is by hitting back continuously until you're brought back to where you were. This behavior is relatively new (I want to say as of Android 4.3, but maybe 4.2) and the module "fixes" it so that Tapatalk and Chrome would show separately.

Perhaps there's some reason Google decided to do this. Perhaps they fixed a different bug that was higher priority and this was a result of that. Perhaps someone goofed up and they just decided not to fix it because they figure people will just get used to it. Who knows. All I know is that in any OS I've ever used (Windows 3.5-8.1, Ubuntu, iOS, OSX, etc, etc) when one app opens another app they always show separately in a task switcher.

I have a lot of respect for both you and GermainZ. Without your contributions this community may not even exist (not much you can do here without su). GermainZ is a well-respected moderator and developer. I certainly understand your frustration when you expect Android to behave a certain way, and things like Xposed Framework cause behavior to change. I especially understand you being frustrated when it causes people to bring those issues to you when they are clearly not your fault. On the other hand, GermainZ hakes it very clear in the OP of his thread that he strongly advises people to use the app in whitelist mode rather than blacklist mode (see my post above.) He also posts this opinion every time someone has issues. Not only that, but he specifically mentions that it will break SuperSU and explains how to fix it if the user insists on using blacklist mode.

I'll suggest that he just get rid of the option altogether and have the app only work in whitelist mode because it would solve all of the complaints here and there, but I think the user is a bit to blame here as well. XDA is a developer community and users should read before installing anything. They should follow threads for apps they use. I'm very surprised defim didn't realize this initially (defim, your Xposed modules are extremely useful, especially NotifyClean) but I think that was a case of him posting before investigating just because there were others reporting the same thing.

Anyways, that's what the module does and why we use it. Like I said, I'll suggest that GermainZ just have the app work in whitelist mode only which I think he'll be open to because it would also fix most of the complaints in his thread.
