Some apps that use root access are now showing a SuperSU permission?

great! play store should also not let the user install root apps if they don't have a rooted device, so they can't rate the app complaining it doesn't work for them
Nope
Yes. This is to let users know better because root permissions supersede other permissions.
Apps that don't declare it should be treated cautiously

So apps with SuperSu permission won't have to ask the user the SU priviledges? That would be even more dangerous.

that's where supersu or superuser app is for, it asks if you want to give su access

What would happen? Would apps no longer be able to get root permissions or would they automatically get them?
To the best of my knowledge you can't uninstall superuser without going to back to stock.
Also the apps that need superuser won't work

If you delete the app, nothing will get root anymore. If you delete the su binary, the same thing would happen.

So I bought a bluray/dvd/digital download. First i've ever bought a movie like this. The digital download can be used through the application pocket blu. Only problem is that when I try, the app says device detected as rooted. For security reasons blah blah blah. Is there any way around this or trick the app into thinking I'm unrooted?

I never allowed it su access. In superuser, it has no log of gaining access and it is not listed in the apps section

Follow the posted directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289635
Or, do it the easy way and install this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zachspong.google.videos.root&feature=search_result
One click to shut root down, then click to activate root again once you are done.
Any apps for blocking permissions that actually work? I installed permissions denied but it never got past checking/fixing permissions. Would love to get total control of permissions.

MIUI based secuirty app... It deletes SuperSu.apk/SuperUser.apk and takes control of permissions with even controlling access to other data. Or just straight allowing everything.
I use it on which ever ROM I happen to be running.

Won't let me block Facebook. more like system apps. Why?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Edit: converted Facebook to user app through titanium backup. But how do you get it to show trusted or system apps?
To a phone that isn't rooted? What would happen? Crash out?

No, depends, some apps is optional for root access, some is necessary for root access.
For the first type, some functionality that requires root wouldn't work but other part is OK.
For the second type of apps, it will politely says you don't have root access and then exit out

This app claims to boost performance of android device, how do it work. More importantly is it safe as it ask for SuperSU permission, what is SuperSU permission anyway. I think I heard somewhere that superSU just mean allowing access to the SuperSU app, am I right or is this goong to give the app control over EVERYTHING (ie malware heaven).

Super su or superuser are apps that help you control what has access to your phone. Once rooted your phone becomes mostly free to use as you want. Having an app like supersu will help you keep malware at bay as anything requesting root access needs to go through it. So you aren't open for attack unless you grant something malicious permission
As for the app you want, I can't say how well it works but there are for sure some that help on older phones in particular. Usually any of the tweets an app like this offers you can do yourself manually, this just makes it easier to use. Try it out, if you don't like it delete it

App dont seem to do anything. Could be a case of malware. Like wallpaper apps that ask for dialing permission. Unless ofc other have something good to say about it.

I never used this application, but if you want to increase performance, use Adrenaline engine or Fly on Mod
