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

Any idea what it would be called? I don't see it in there. I am using Root Explorer.
There it is

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

Have you clicked on it to see if it opens. Also try to use titanium backup to uninstall it

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.

nooooo. Install superuser from the market then select switch superuser app under super su settings. Then go into superuser and select update binary. Enjoy
Search on Store Titanium Backup and delete SuperSU then searching Superuser but why you make that?

The switch in the super su does it in a more clean way.

I ran into this problem with the 3d.. My fix was to have both superuser apps installed and that cleared it up for me
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.

Is there anybody using supersu instead of superuser? What is the best way to switch between the two?
Just download supersu from play store install binary when it says to update then delete superuser from system app. That's what I did.

yes, Update SuperSU then delete Superuser
did you update it through the normal way or did you choose to do it through recovery?

Just install it from the play store, then it'll ask you to update your binaries

Thanks for all help guys. I like supersu a lot more than superuser
hey guys can any1 tell me how do i change my superSU app with other 1... like superuser and remove the previous 1?
the reason i want to change is coz i cant access few apps like "root explorer" and "ad away" coz when open them they say "Either su binary could not be found or you did not allow the root permission for adaway" but i have already granted the permissions... this is happening in these 2 apps so far while other apps like greenify and other are working fine.
the thing is that there no option either to update the SU binary in superSU app which is installed in my custom rom "SUPER JB"
here is the link of the app which am using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
and am attaching a screenshot also of the error i get.
plz help me out... thanks in adv.
I'd check your root, sounds like you might have broken it.
EDIT: You already have a thread so there was no need to start a new one.

Root is fine coz every other app is working fine.. Like greenify, root app delete, my backup root, quick reboot... So root is fine..
And I started a new thread coz no1 was replying in that thread, probably ppl see 9 replys frm out side n think it might b solved.

Did you try to reinstall? The option is down in settings.
After re-boot and re-install it will ask to update binary.

Just tried.. After re-install it asked to update su binary n have 2 options... Normal or TWPR/CWM
I selected normal butt still same error...
Can I just press re-install n when after restart can I install other app called superuser? Will it be okay or will it mess up the Rom?

Okay I changed the app but its still giving the same error..
I think I found out why its happening in these 2 apps... Coz I installed them manually frm file explorer using their Apk file n not from play store... But I still dont understand tht
Y is it happening.. I mean bfre also they used to work... Maybe is it the new custom Rom I flashed.. superJB?
But bfre this also I had custom Rom called powerJB..
Is therr anymore solutions?

Did you install the Safestrap .apk after you did the ROM then run the "install recovery" from within Safestrap after you did your ROM?

I believe I just ran the ROMwwithout flashing anything else.
I should have stuck with hyperdrive.
I can use my phone and internet but the play store is out of commission for me.
I've wiped and deleted and force closed about everything related to downloading an apk.

It sounds like it'd be best if you ODIN'd back to stock and started over.
If nothing else works try the dreaded Odin route
Sent from my Beastly powered S4 using Tapatalk
Any links you could put me on for the Galaxy S4 ?
Also why is Odin dreaded?
Don't need to odin. Just simply download the apk, copy it from your SD card and paste it in your system/app folder. Once pasted, change permission to -rw -r -r. Now you'll see it in your app drawer.
Off-topic: There's something wrong with the default containers services on that rom. Everyone thinks it's a Google Play store error, nobody even bothered checking the logcat to see why...lol...I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it yet.

Every time I download it will not install though.

You're not trying to install it automatically. You're installing it manually by playing it into your app folder and changing permissions. Read my post and follow it and you will be golden, the concept is the same for all android devices
Eclipse comes with a file manager included.

The permissions should be be the same as every other apk in the folder. Try that and let me know how that goes. It's inside the system/app folder?
