[Q] how to change superuser app - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

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?

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.

Root your phone and install the Google gallery again.
Or look for the stock gallery on this forum.
If you don't want to root your phone backup what you can,and do a factory reset.

GoogleGallery.apkm is a system app..system apps are not meant to be installed..they are not signed so cannot be installed in the normal way..to use a system app you will need root...after you are rooted move the apk to /system/app forder and give rw-r--r-- permission and reboot..

[Q] Koush's Superuser 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.

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.

Are you rooted? If so use your recovery to clear your cache.

it doesn't work..
i have tried it many times, also dalvik chace..
If your device is rooted, try to install and launch Lucky Patcher. It will probarly give a notification at start-up which says 'Unused odex removed!'
If that doesn't work, remove /data/app/fileName.odex using root explorer.
Hey,
You can go to /data/app in file manager with root privileges and there you can remove the app you want to install's .odex file.
Eg. If you want to install Swiftkey.
Go to --> /data/app
When you are there remove, swiftkey.odex file.
It should work
(This is basically what DroidHackz said)

It's basically a small error in which the odex file remains even though the core apk of an app is removed, an odex file is generated by an application package to improve its execution time(basically the app becomes faster).
