On my gnex I easily changed super user apps. I don't know if it's because I'm still on a TW rom or the way the device is exploited it's not able to or a different process to change the app? Everyone uses supersu by chainfire but I would like to change it to superuser by clockworkmod. I've tried the uninstall for changing apps but I just lose root access.

Keep supersu installed, download superuser app of choice, update binaries of said app, then uninstall supersu. Worked for me.

Hi guys i have a quick question about super user:
1- What's the difference between ChainsDD's Superuser and Chainfire's SuperSU?
2- Which one is better, more stable, and why?
3- I currently have ChainsDD's Superuser app installed as stated.in a thread here at XDA, but let's assume that i wanted to unistall the one i have and install Chainfire's SuperSU instead, how do i go about doing this?
Do i install it from the recovery just like i did whith my current one? And how do i even uninstall my current one?
--how do i uninstall the superuser app from my sensation 4g?--
Thanks in advanced
Hope anyone can help me here
Have a good one

for me SuperSu Better.
I believe the process for switching is install SuperSU, which will install a new, slightly different su binary. Once you have installed SuperSU (and maybe run it once), then you uninstall Superuser. If you want to switch back, install Superuser, let it change the su binary again, then uninstall SuperSU.
EDIT: And I don't know which is better, I have only used Superuser.
Hi guys I have tmous sensation 4g s-off, rooted, 4ext, unlocked.
I want to know if.its.possible to change my Superuser for SuperSU? And how?
Does.anyone have or knows a guide/tutorial on how to do this?
Also what is busybox? What is it for? Do I need it? Will it affect my stock Rom stability? Cause I see that titanium says its using its.own busybox.
Thanks in advanced.
Have a nice day every1.

Just install SuperSU and run it once. This will replace the Superuser su binary with the SuperSU su binary. Then you can remove Superuser if you wish.
As for busybox, a bunch of root apps require it, it basically adds a bunch of commands for their use. You can grab "Busybox Installer" from the Play Store to install it. Titanium Backup has it's own version built in. Other apps require you to have installed it. If you don't use anything requiring root other than TB, you don't need to worry about. Otherwise, I'd install it.
i want to switch from super user to super su. Just because i think it looks better with ics. So what i did was download super user from play store, and open it. I granted it access and let it update its binary. Now super su grants all my apps access. So the next logical step i thought would be to uninstall the regular super user. but i cant find it in titanium backup? (i search for superuser, super, user and neither super su nor superuser come up)
Also once i manage to get the regular superuser removed i would have to move the super su to system apps via titanium right?
You ever come right with this bud? Also can't remove superuser app from foxhound Rom. Deleted it from system/app using root explorer but it comes back after reboot.

1. Install SuperSu from Play and update binaries. Make sure it achieves root.
2. Delete Superuser.apk from system/app using a root file manager.
3. Install Superuser from Play.
4. Uninstall Superuser thru Play.
5. Reboot phone.
No more Superuser and SuperSU should retain root functionality.
cheers mate. Updated to the latest foxhound and superuser went away. Having this issue on a buddies phone so will try your method this weekend and give feedback.
Appreciate the response.

Hi all,
I've rooted my SGS3 via ODIN with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. Everything went good and I had root in seconds. One thing I've noticed that this method is installing SuperSU app instead of SuperUser (which I was using on Motorola Defy). It didn't make any difference for me, however after some time I discovered that not all applications works with SuperSU. For instance xMissedCallPatch for exDialer don't even ask for admin permissions. Permission access window from SuperSU just don't POP UP so I can't give that app a root permissions. There was some more examples but can't remeber which one. TitaniumBackup and few other works good.
And here comes the problem:
I wanted to change from SuperSU to SuperUser, so I've installed SuperUser from market, however that does not make him as default app to handle root requests. So... I went to SuperSU settings and clicked "Switch Superuser application". That deleted SuperSU as default app to handle root, but again it didn't make SuperUser as default also. So, none of SuperSU or SuperUser were default apps to handle root
So, trying to make this out, I've uninstalled SuperUser and made ODIN again with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3. All procedure went as expected but SuperSU still isn't default app to handle root. Now when I'm launching TitaniumBackup (for instance) it just says that it can't work because it has no root rights. As previously no Permission access window from SuperSU.
Do you have any ideas?
OK, my fault.
I've accidentaly used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 instead of v6.4. After ODIN with v6.4 everything works great. Even apps which hadn't popups from SuperSU previously now work. For example xMissedCallPath for exDialer now works somehow.
Sorry to bother you all, topic to close.
I used to have the supersu app but i wanted to switch to superuser to i selected the cleanup and switch to other superuser app.
I then installed superuser and attempted to update the binary which failed so i installed the binary manually through recovery.
When i use a root app i get no prompts, if i try temp unroot it doesnt work but if i install super su and install its binary, superuser and all other root apps ask supersu for root access, any help guys?

I would recommend installing SuperSU and the related su binary. From there use terminal emulator to uninstall the related SuperSU files manually, also uninstall the Superuser apk and binary so you'll have a clean slate, then lastly remove the SuperSU su binary, then uninstall the SuperSU apk. Once you have done this I would install the Superuser app (I assume you are talking about Koush's Superuser app and binary), and binary through recovery. After doing this it should allow you to use Superuser. What version of Android are you running? Also keep in mind Koush's Superuser hasn't been updated for a while, which is why for the latest version of Android SuperSU really is the best choice.
Could you give me the steps needed to remove super su and the binary
