I do not know why TWRP (or cyanogenmod, it seems) keeps repopulating my root directory with a supersu folder containing apks and scripts for that app. Is there any way to permanently delete that folder and all its contents? Whenever I reboot to recovery after I delete it, it always comes back.
(Inquiries elsewhere went unanswered. Googled all I could.)
From the looks of it you are in CM rom. SU is part of the rom. Not the recovery.

Great, then that's my new question. Why does CM create this folder and how can I stop it from recreating itself? It's not like my /system/(x)bin/su binaries are being readded.

You will have to completely remove root but with the odd way cm does root I am not sure it is really possible as it is coded into the OS.

Oh there is. Build the rom yourself and leave out super user and root.
Mainly as many custom rom features require root to work. You maybe better off running stock.
If you want to remove root just flash the latest Chainfire's SuperSU, go to the app then select full unroot. Reboot then delete supersu folder.

I use systemless root and don't want any traces of the old method sitting around to be detected. Plus, I'm GApps-free, so that's not really possible.

Doesn't help. That'll remove everything but the folder in question. Going back and deleting the folder after using SuperSU's full unroot option only works until my next reboot, when the folder pops back up again.

A preface:
This is neither development or a question. This is simply an informative post that needs to be in the development section to save many users issues. (also most people looking for custom roms dont look in general section)
I did not create this.
New official CWM v5.8.2.0 (link below)
A few of us have confirmed that it now properly backs up and restores the boot.img
This Helps with the following issues
-Possibly fixes bricks (by properly restoring boot.img)
-Correctly comes with Staging/System unmounted
-Nandroid Restores properly the boot.img (of backups created with this CWM). This means no more issues when restoring a Rom if you are coming from another from (for example, if you are restoring Virtuous after wiping cm9)
Additionally:
-Backups are now about 10x faster
-Restores are a bit faster (not as dramatic as backups)
Still no go:
-External SD Card (Pretty sure)
-Reboot into recovery (probably a software issue within OS anyway)
Manual install:Here is the link to the file if you prefer to manually install (EASY WAY BELOW) -Must have unlocked bootloader

Use Rom Manager:
Install Rom Manager from the market -> Open -> First Option: 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'-> Done.
This can be done over your current CWM (if you installed it via ViperMod) or manually)
If you have issues installing via RM try this

I had the same issue, when I first tried to install CWM via Rom Manager.
I solved it by installing the version that installs via the Prime Time Root program. Then installed the Rom Manger version without a hitch.

It should not. all my previous ones are there after flashing in RM
Though: I dont think it will retroactively fix the boot.img restore and backup issue meaning, you should probably make new backups if you want to be able to restore the kernel properly in the future
So since I'm n00bish, what's the best way to do this?

Thumbs up to the CWM team for finally releasing a more working recovery.
Thumbs up to "DeathByFugu" who brought it to my attention in IRC.
Thumbs up to those who tested with me and confirmed it was working as it should (DeathByFugu, youngex/tg3x)
Just ran a backup and it was definitely quicker than the last 2 that I made.

Yep, I am runnig Virtuous ROM.
I did go in and clear cache and data and tried all over again.
It starts, the "blue bar" at the top of the screen starts to scroll across and gets to about the end and just hangs. If I remember correctly from my other phones it should boot at that point and do its thing?
I will uninstall...reboot and reinstall.
If that doesnt work, maybe I will try the old fashion adb deal.

Sounds like it's borking when it would normally ask for Superuser permissions. Make sure your Superuser app isn't blocking it.

I thought ROM manager was an app? (Never used it) So if it is, couldn't you use TiBu to remove it? If it's not an app, I would still like to know if it's possible to get rid of, without switching ROMs of course.

ROM and CWM are together on my phone it came when I installed CM9.. I have not really used it though just to put in recovery mode. I have installed anything via internal SD from the PC to phone ... As it seemed prior the phone was having an issue so have avoided it. I am thinking just leave it as said and just don't use.
My phone is running smooth and great even battery life over the last couple days has doubled. I was just curious actually if TiBu would be the way to remove it IF I should need to.

Just delete it from /system/app or move it from /system/app to your sd card. This uninstalls it while keeping the apk should you want to use it again.

Just do this ^^^ and don't worry about anything.
The phone has absolutely no dependency on rom manager. Neither does your recovery. Cwm operation is independent from rom manager.
In CM9, ROM Manager cannot be uninstalled, but gives you an option to disable it. After that, it won't show up on the Apps Drawer again. That's what I did. If you did install any updates, you have to uninstall all updates and then the disable button will show up to be selected. HTH.

Not sure why you would lose any system apps after unlocking the bootloader, mine did not do that... but you can try to download the stock rom and just copy those apps from the zip file into your system (and fix permissions) or you can try to factory reset after you unlocked the bootloader...

I seem to recall (can't remember the thread) that several apps did stop working when the devices were unlocked. It may have depended on the variant of the M7 that was being unlocked.
I already restored apps from stock rom OTA. This thread should be closed.
Stock kitkat will require root for apps to have write access to your external sd card. If you're rooted or plan on rooting this app here will simplify the fix for you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
This is not an lg bug, but a horrible choice on Googles part that will probably change in Android L....

No need to setup FolderMount, just let it fix permissions, then you can uninstall it.

Fyi, folder mount does not do the same thing as what I posted, it's a temp fix solution for a different problem that happens to work in your situation. It does not permanently edit the file in the system. Run what I posted and you won't need to run folder mount for simple write access.
The good news is L apparently re-allows card writes, but the bad news is ART is required and sucks up 25% more storage space. You also need about 1GB more free space than Dalvik for ART to be the most stable.
16GG devices are becoming very 8GB now.

Oh yea of little faith....
Like I said, if FolderMount detects a problem with permissions, it'll offer to fix them, then you can uninstall the program.
I have the same permissions you listed at the top, except I installed FolderMount, ran it once, then uninstalled it. The program is intended to do other things, but it also will fix the permissions for you. We used to run it for a pre-rooted 4.4 stock rom for the Note II.
Running FolderMount is a LOT easier for people that may not want to edit a permissions file.

I believe that's redundant since you will just be overwriting your data once you use Tigerhoods' backup. Not to diss him by any chance, but his ROM is missing some important parts of the framework which makes some functions buggy.

I went ahead and tried the file that was posted in post. #3 and it looks like it just took off king root and didn't replace it with anything.

If you want stabilization and SuperSU installed, just follow my guide to install the prerooted flashable zip I prepared that is the best solution to your dilemma. It's really simple without needing to do any unroot and such.
I have to back everything up and then try and flash that rom. Or I guess I could try and root the phone again and see if that works. I'll let you all know. Thanks.
