Had some time during the breakfast...
Here you guys have a SuperSU CWM flashable package that works on the CWM recoveries of the X8 - and will replace the default Superuser by ChainsDD
"su" goes into /system/xbin and "Superuser.apk" goes into /system/app
There's also an undo CWM ZIP attached that will restore ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary in case Chainfire's SuperSU doesn't work for you.
Tested to work on GingerDX v022 and v025 - try on other ROMs at your own risk.
EDIT:
- Link to the article on the XDA portal
- Link to Chainfire's SuperSU thread
- SuperSU for GingerDX on MediaFire
What exactly does it do?

It's a "better than Superuser" solution. I added the links to the article on XDA's portal as well as to Chainfire's SuperSU thread ... just have a look.
Thanks B.Jay!

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and try clearing the data cache of SuperSU.
I tried SuperSU on the cellphone of my step-daughter (GingerDX v022 on Alfs) and the only problem I have is that Titanium Backup gets stuck after obtaining super user privileges (already Allowed and Remembered).
All the other apps (Root Browser, "su" in the Terminal, ClockSync) work fine; no problems with Force Closes.
Root Explorer broken by this app on a Rezound running ICS. Uninstalling SuperSU breaks root (you might want to put a warning in it somewhere). And even after flashing your fix, and using Amon Ra to re-root (there is no CWM for Rezound), Superuser can't update its binary.
Got a fix? (Other than to reinstall before you do fix it?)
Thanks in advance. Might just have to restore last Nandroid.

The UNDO CWM ZIP actually spills back ChainDD's Superuser ...
EDIT: And with a Rezound you seem to be in the entirely wrong forum section.

This appears to be only thread for app on xda; and the app was touted on Lifehacker today (and the Market, uh, er, Play doesn't say it doesn't run on the Rezound).
My problem is that I can't update the binary since uninstalling SuperSU. How can that be? I get an error "Failed to download manifest. Check internet connection." (Regardless of whether on LTE or wifi).
Interested in your suggestions.

Well, if you can tell me into which directory the "su" binary is supposed to go I can create you a customized "undo" CWM ZIP.
The one attached above to the OP post copies "Superuser.apk" into /system/app (that much is the same on all Droids) and "su" into /system/xbin
If that matches with how it should be on the Rezound then simply flash the file - if "su" needs to be in /system/bin instead (or some other totally mind boggling location) tell me and I repack it for you.
On that note: There is a thread of Chainfire for SuperSU - this is just a repack of his CWM ZIP as it doesn't work on the X8
Chatted with my ROM developer who said "leave su & binary alone," so Nandroided back to pre-SuperSU and we seem to be okay.
I like the concept, just can't run (yet). Thanks anyway.

I have a problem with SuperSU. SetCPU and other apps that has an opption to "Set on Boot" does not work. I have to open the app for it to run.
Anybody tried it on MiniCM9 ?

Thanks bro. Works GREAT on GDX.
Does not work on cm9 naa. It lags and hangs and restarts. Not recommended for cm9.
Which is better and why?

Nice good job
Hi guys here is a more or less new Superuser app from chainfire called SuperSU
It has more options and stuff and i'd like to use it. Can i just install the app and then remove the regular (by chainsdd) without any chance of losing root or something?

I just asked this yesterday!
I have installed SuperSU, ran it, gave it Superuser permissions (using Superuser), updated the superuser binary (using SuperSU) and disabled Superuser.
I plan on Deleting Superuser once I confirm everything works ok!
thx for the info I found another way to do what i wanted to do so i'll stick with the old SU for now. But thx anyway. Great to know its an option.
I've been using it on my Evo 3D since it's release with no issues. Haven't used it on my Prime yet.
Works with no issues on my prime

I installed Koush's new Superuser app that was released and decided I didn't like it that much. When I uninstalled with a root uninstaller my previous superuser app (Chamber's) can't gain root access along with any other app. I reinstalled Koush's beta and uninstalled ChainDD's. Anyone got any idea how to get the original superuser back and remove the new one?

Does anybody know any benefits/advantages of CM Superuser over SuperSU?
I simply use SuperSU to control root access (I know that's obvious), but now there is another Superuser app, I'm wondering, Why??
It is open source, which means it is more transparent than the others, is this the only real benefit?
I currently have a nexus 4, should I switch from SuperSU?
P.s. I've added a poll just for fun

Matter of preference. I like the extensive customization SuperSU gives me.
Edit: Misread everything. Not wanting to bash but Nexus S CWM recovery has parts broken since a good while. Hard to trust CWM su will be any better...
I personally Recomend the...
I Think that the clockwork mod Super user is better... i cant explain the full pros/cons but from experience, CWM lets you take more control
Cannot fully uninstall CWM Superuser
I cannot fully uninstall CMW Superuser. It says it is uninstalled, but Super US will not install after the CMW uninstall. It tries to re-install CMW. How do I fully remove and replace CMW with Super US? Any ideas?
I'm having big problems removing this from my phone. I want to get rig of superuser (CWM) and replace it with SuperSu

Agree, am having the same problem uninstalling. Also you cannot update this app with anything but clockwork mod recovery.

Just flash SuperSU zip in recovery and it will do everything.
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".
