I kinda like superuser more than SuperSU so is there any cwm package that removes superSU and adds superuser?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
i installed the superuser app and installed the binary through it and removed the supersu.apk but it's still in my list after reboot. Clicking on the supersu app throws me a "app isn't installed" error but it shouldn't show up at all.

That's odd.. a second reboot removed the icon and all is well.

By installing a different su i will replace the current one right? Or will i brick it etc

I've wondered about this too. I'm sure no brick, worst case maybe have to reinstall a rom; but do you grant new superuser root access with old superuser then delete old superuser?

In the old superuser application, you must go to settings and press the "prepare for new superuser application" button.
Once you have that done, download the new one and it should work from there.

I don't see that option in the settings of the Superuser app. I was always under the impression that you could install the new app, update the su binary using the new app (giving it superuser privileges from the old app), and then removing the old app.

Hey guys,
So I wanted to try out Koush's new Superuser app and I flashed the zip that was in the description in the Play Store, but now how do I get rid of ChainFire's SuperSU? I am on the latest (1.5) CarbonRom.
Use a root explorer and go to /system/app and delete it

Yeah its not there. The superuser.apk you see there is the new one. SuperSU by Chainfire is definitely still on my device. Any chance that it is in a difference place since I am running an AOSP rom?
The zip you flashed is suppose to delete Chanfire's supersu for you

When I click on it, it opens and a popup comes up and says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue ?" I didn't really want to do that so I went into Titanium and looked to uninstall and it wasn't in the app list.
So then I went back to the superSU, and I hit continue and SuperSU reinstalled (not sure if it technically 'reinstalled,' but thats just the best way I know how to describe it). So then I when into the settings and hit 'Clean up for another superuser app' or something like that. So then it did it's thing, but the app icon was still in my drawer. I clicked on it again and a little message came up that said "app is not installed" so then I restarted my phone hoping that the icon would disappear and it did!
Problem solved.

Search for Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed
Go to SuperSu ( I assume you have it as the default super user app) .
Now install clockwork mods superuser app.
Then go to SuperSu, then click settings tabs, scroll down, find 'change superuser app' , click it, a pop up will come, read that and click okay.
Now SuperSu will uninstall.
then go to Superuser app.
it will prompt you to update binary.
click install.
installation success dialog will come.
now superuser will be the default app!

This thread is for users facing difficulties on updating the Superuser app, while running a custom or stock ROM
Most times you might be facing problems like "Singature error". I will give you some instructions on updating Superuser. Here's what you will do:
1. Open Google Play Store and install the "System Apps Installer'' application. It is free and it is compartible with Galaxy Y.
2. Open it and grant superuser permissions to the app.
3. At first, you will see a File Manager. Browse through your sdcard and find the new Superuser app version you have downloaded and you want to install.
4. For example I will install Superuser 3.1.3 . Now find the apk and click it.
5. It will know say "This app already exists. ¿Do you want to overwrite it?
6. Press yes and wait to install.
7. When it's done it will say "¡App installed correctly!
8. Open the new Superuser and update it's binary.
9. You're ready to go.
From now on, if Superuser has ever an update released, you will be able to update it succesfully from the Google Play Store.
Personally tested and working on Evo-x4.2
Get the APKs needed in the attachment below.
P.S. You can use that method too for other apps that you can't update.
And if this won't work on your device, you can try hnkotnis's SGYToolkit [AROMA]

if superuser error.. how to grand system app installer?
superuser Superuser is the app that manages
what apps on your rooted device
have access to su. Apps that are
granted su have elevated
permissions and can modify just
about any part of the system. The
app was originally written by zinx,
and I took it and made it much more
useable. The app consists of two
parts, Superuser.apk and the su
binary.
source http://androidsu.com/superuser/
As mentioned in the OP, it's a guide for force updating Superuser. I didn't mention anything about "error granting su permissions", but I mentioned "error updating su and su binary".
