[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
And you would be wrong. SuperSU comes from a well respected developer (Chainfire), and was created because Superuser has some major bugs that ChainsDD still hasn't fixed - such as su crashing if Android wasn't fully booted. (This was a pain for me for CM9 work when combined with their new "don't default to root in ADB" policy. ADB not going straight to root + broken su = pain)

Most I9100 and N7000 firmware developers have switched over, and when on Touchwiz firmwares I have too. Superuser's one advantage - it's open source which is why it is in CM9, I don't believe SuperSU is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Would you recommend using SuperSU over superuser in CM9?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Not in CM9
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TDuran:
so for any ROM other than cm9, you recommend it? and if so, how would you recommend we install? i assume we need to install it first, then update, then delete the "regular superuser"?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Just for kicks, I installed it and tried it. This probably isn't the "proper" method and you could possibly mess something up but anyway here is what I did: 1. Delete superuser.apk from your app folder in /system. 2. In Play store download superSU and install. It will ask you to update binaries. Do it and you should be golden.

**Delete files at your own risk** I used Root explorer and make sure you mount app folder as r/w before deleting and then put it back to normal when you're done.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] raymond26170:
Yes. Many Rom devs include SU.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
This is one of the reasons I removed autorooting from my kernels.

In my case, I just flashed the CWM-flashable SuperSU package in CWM - It will automatically remove legacy Superuser I believe.

I personally would like to see it in CM9 (or at least the Superuser problems that caused Chainfire to write SuperSU fixed) - but I believe that the free version of Superuser is open source while SuperSU is not (I could be wrong about this).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
I am not getting any source information of SuperSu. It seems closed source. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
SuperSU is free on the market (there is also a $$ pro version). I'm seeing the same thing ndhanta is with the infusion kernel. There is a script called install_su.sh which does the old ef su install but I haven't been able to track down the parent script that calls it, or figure out where the $source and $dest variables are being set... I'm assuming it may be possible to stop the script from performing the su install by changing the modify date of the file specified in the $dest var.

Any chance a version of the 4.4.12 GB kernel might materialize that supports OC? (Or an update to the infusion kernel that removes the su installer?) This would help eliminate the issue... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xda_geekman:
I just Re-rooted my SGS2 and I now have SU and SuperSU ??

Im assuming that SuperSU was installed automatically with the root ROM??

I have puirchased the Pro Version of SU .. so is it safe to Remove SuperSU without messing something up ?:confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
Yes no problem

Just update the binaries of SU.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] s3nsation:
Replace Superuser with SuperSU

Here's what I did:

Download the SuperSU apk

Rename it to Superuser.apk

adb push Superuser.apk to /system/app

adb automatically replaces the "old" Superuser.apk and it works fine for me. :cool:

Info: I'm running AOKP Build 40
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
now if we could only get chainfire to support our device on mobile odin. no reason it shouldn't work but i guess he hasn't had the demand for it... the supersu app looks interesting and chainfire3d is awesome.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Firepac:
So is it safe to have both Superuser and SuperSU installed at the same time?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
You can also have both.

But i prefer to be with SuperSU.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] manuarh:
Confused

I installed superSU because I didn't realize I already had superuser (no icon anywhere). Anyway, I installed superSU and now I see a request for superuser to do an update (oh...and I can see the superuser icon now :o ). Should I just uninstall superuser from 'Applications', or should I update?

P6800 ICS with CWM 6 (I think) and root
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nestacomm:
Siamese Twins

i had root, lost root on the OTA update to ics, the update did not delete Superuser and when I rerooted, the one click method for RAZR, it installed SuperSU. I tried using root browser to just remove one (perferably the Superuser) from the systems folder, but only one superuser apk appears in the folder. what do i do now?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] s2berto:
SuperSU as system app

Hey, folks. I had a similar problem, but I didn't stop to ask...

Droid noob, here, though a long time UNIX adminstrator, so I had to root my new phone. During the rooting process I too ended up with both SU and SuperSU on my system. SuperSU complained and instructed me (IIRC) to update SU then come back. When I did, I thought SuperSU uninstalled itself. It turns out it made itself a system app. Playstore says it is already installed, so I can't un/reinstall it.

I've searched the entire filesystem for super and chainfire, but I cannot find any su apk. Root apps are running fine, but I have no control over them (I have uninstalled SU in my attempts to recover SuperSU). Did I break it, or can I recover? Any thoughts on how I can get SuperSU back?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nik00:

will enabling 2G (Edge) only to check for MMS drain battery? i want it enabled all day but only to check for MMS.. so will this drain battery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
I always keep 2G enabled the whole day. It definitely causes more battery drain than when it's switched off. Normally in standby on my DHD I have a battery drain of 1% per hour. With 2G on and phone in standby, in an hour I lose more than that. Maybe 2% or so. But it's no problem as my phone lasts through the day, and my phone is supposed to have one of the smallest batteries for a big screen smartphone. On a phone with a bigger battery I don't think that extra battery drain will make a difference. What does kill my battery very fast though is 3G. I have much much more battery drain in an hour with it on.

Then i tried flashing the bb again,this time,the phone wont even boot..

After that i tried flashing the nordic 568+wipe user data,baseband 70,stock kernel and it booted. =)

Fixed (kinda)

I tried reflashing both the kernel and the ROM a number of times with different options on Arconium but that didn't help. I flashed Arc-Knight Kernel and then flashed arconium again and this booted fine. It seems to have been a problem between DoomKernel and Arconium.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roni2915:
Hello all,

I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Note i717R from someone and I got it unlocked to use with Bell Mobility.

I've rooted the phone and it feels that the phone lags sometimes. I don't even have much installed. In fact I had much more stuff installed on my previous SGS2! Even the batter life is poor than what I was getting on my S2. (4 hrs vs 2 hrs screen time). I'm not complaining about battery life. Just stating my results.

Anyways, my question is wether I should sell the i717R model and buy the International (N7000) model. I've heard/read stuff that the International version is better than the devices provided by AT&T, Bell, Rogers etc. Is it true? OR

am I better off staying with my i717R.

Selling the i717R isn't a problem, and neither is buying the N7000! I'm sure I will get it for the same price!

Please suggest...

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] whatsaqazza:
I was wondering this question too as I went with the n7000. I have to say though that I don't regret it at all. This things flies and has a great dev community. The battery life is also amazing (4hrs on screen time in 16hr and I'm only at 33%:eek: ) I wonder what i717 users will say though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roni2915:
Great, few more posts favouring N7000 and my decision will be firm! :)

Thanks for replying!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] whatsaqazza:
You should also ask in the n7000 forum. You'll here unbelievable praise there :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roni2915:
Haha, totally!

Thats a nice idea :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cozzeck:
I wish I would of gotten the n7000. So much more development to choose from. Don't get me wrong I love this phone but I'm bored with it already. Then again I get bored with things after about a week and want the next latest and greatest out there lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roni2915:
Sell your i717 then :P

And to be honest, I feel the same way. For my SGS2, there were hundreds of ROMS to choose from. For i717, we barely have any. I tried a few, and I definitely would prefer to be on stock GB 2.3.6.

So I think most probably I'm gonna sell it today/tomm, and hopefully I can get a n7000 for almost the same price! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] naeib2000:
I'm starting to feel the same way Bout the i717, so many people bash the phone I feel like I made a bad choice, but besides what the others say I love my phone, the only other reason would be because the other has more roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] puleen:
What's the major difference between the I717 and the N7000? Isn't the I717 supposed to be LTE, while the N7000 isn't?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Yes, that, and the n7000 has the exynos soc while the i717 has a Qualcomm soc. In my opinion, the soc's are a tossup, as my phone performs flawlessly, even though people rave about the exynos being better. The only real difference I see as a result of the different chipsets is that the n7000 has more ROMs. Which since we have a few really good ones, and a bunch of great devs, I have no complaints about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bbgt2:
Go Intl Note. Always better. Made a mistake of getting the AT&T Note. Had a Cappy and as far as mods that's what this Note is like, miss my SGS2. Anxiously awaiting the SGS3. Don't really care for LTE. Unlocked and Intl is the best if u wanna mod.

And this other guy is giving me a month used international version with a flip case for $550! I doubt I can get a brand new one for this price. He mentions there no signs of usage! So I think its a good deal!

I'll be n international note owner very soon! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sazfar13:
So what is the feeling now. Which model is better? Why isn't the lte version better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] byron84:
I regretted getting the i717 until I started playing with roms. I have CM9 on it now and its really fast and responsive! I love my note now.

Think about it... 1.5GHz dual core with 1GB RAM. Does it sound like that kind of hardware should have any difficulty running a little phone ? Lol. With each software update the phone gets better, I can't wait for jelly bean!

Having said that, the quad core n7000 has a bright future if app development becomes more heavily multithreaded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
The N7000 isn't quad-core, it's dual-core Exynos 1.4Ghz. I717 is dual-core Snapdragon 1.5Ghz. N700 has ARM Mali GPU while i717 has Adreno 220 GPU. Both have 1GB RAM. i717 is supposed to have better 4G LTE than n7000 hence why it's AT&T's model. The buttons are also different. While both are nice phones, I prefer the i717, especially for $250. With the kernel release and CM9 nightly it's super smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] samclam:
N7000 better but i717 nicer looking

If anyone is still reading this thread. I went to all the trouble to get the i717 version because it looks better IMHO without the physical home button. I'm in the UK and initially had pretty bad mobile network connect until I flashed more recent modems, then it was ok. I can't confirm it supports EU GPRS data when there's no 3G but 3G speeds are comparable to my other phones. The i717 doesn't support 900MHz 3G/HSDPA which is a commonly used frequency in the EU, so far that hasn't caused me any issure, maybe I'm lucky and Three.co.uk support 2100MHz don't really know.

From what I read the chipset / processor on the N7000 is supposed to be better. I haven't had any performance issues with my i717 though, no complaints there. But the N7000 has a Yamaha sound card on the Exynos chip so you can play with 'Voodoo Louder' app to get a big boost to your audio volume, not able to get that on my i717. Also the stock AT&T software is a pain in the ass, esp' as it kept reporting an error connecting to AT&T, CM9 and Team Perfection soon got rid of that and perform very nicely. Also the N7000 has FM Radio while the i717 doesn't.

Not sure if it's just my phone buy my g/f says my voice is muffled an low volume on calls with my i717. Contacted Samsung who say I have to send it back to the USA for repair which I don't fancy doing.

In retrospect I should have just stomached the physical home button and got an N7000. Might eBay my i717.

Install stock firmware and update regularly then redo the Process?

or is there someway I can Just update without having to redo S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
I believe you can simply flash the 3.32 firmware and then update to the new ICS ROMs. No need to S-OFF again since you're running the older hboot version (that is, I'm assuming you're still running hboot 1.18 or lower since you haven't updated your phone in a while and you're already rooted and stuff).

The second link that ganeshp posted should be all you need to know. :D
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It is not clear if you are s-off or not.

Once you are s-off,that will remain no matter what you do(unless you choose to s-on again :p )

If you are s-off,and you want to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS) then,everything that you need is in THIS THREAD.

Read it carefully,then read it again!

If you still have questions,ask in that thread or here.

Good luck.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
first of all check your HBOOT version (from bootloader -> volume down + power)

if its 1.18 or less(this is only required for SOFF ...if you are already SOFF follow the rest of steps from the guide)...then just use my guide(1st link) for basic steps to keep your phone ready...for flashing custom roms

then for ICS you first need to update your firmware...which was awesomely explained on how to do it from the second guide link I've provided....

remember once you've updated you firmware you can not boot into your OLD GB rom as it is not compatible so you need to get the ICS ROM you want to install on your sdcard before doing firmware update so that you can just flash the ROM directly after updating the firmware

that's all you require...(my best suggestion is READ READ READ...until you are crystal clear)
