I gave 2 stars because I love clockworkmod!!! I was using SuperSU, but I wanted to switch to your Superuser because, well, it's clockworkmod! But, even using the recovery method, I DO have root access. But I get no prompt to allow root access. In ES file explorer I am told that I don't have root when trying to use the built in root explorer, but when I go into the system folder, I can see everything, so I know I have root, but it isn't set up properly. when I use terminal emulator it won't give root at all

We all know your work. But the reasons mentioned on the description exceeds all my expectations and your "brand" got now on top of the list for everything you have released. I'm gonna try this app for the 1st time. Pretty sure it is good as your usual stuff is. Keep up the great work.

This app saved my life. The classical SuperSU wasn't able to update the binaries, but with this app I flashed the SU.zip file that you find here below (check the link) and my Motorola phone has fully access root again! Thank you very much!

I don't have toast notifications enabled, but I keep getting "Superuser granted to shell popping up quite a bit in my notification bar. Fix that then comes the 5 star rating you want.will occur

It works fine as is and if you do upgrade like it wants it just goes into an endless loop. There is a manual update but it has NO instructions- not going there. So at least for my purposes it works good other than the upgrade popups that don't want to go away.

Troubleshooting

Issues installing or upgrading from another Superuser or SuperSU? Try the recovery zip installation linked below.

Apps being denied? Disable the "Declared Permission" setting, and delete the "Deny" policies.

This app requires that you already have root, or a custom recovery image to work.

Apps not being remembered? Start the superuser app to make sure the su binary is up to date.

Features
* Multiuser support

* Per app configuration
* FREE
* Request timeout

Why another Superuser?

* Superuser should be open source. It's the gateway to root on your device. It must be open for independent security analysis. Obscurity (closed source) is not security.
* Superuser should be NDK buildable. No internal Android references.
* Superuser should also be AOSP buildable for those that want to embed it in their ROM.
* Superuser should also be AOSP embeddable, meaning a ROM can easily embed it into their Settings app.
* Maintenance and updates on both the market and source repositories should be timely.
* If something goes wrong, I can fix it.
* Handle multiuser (4.2+) properly
* Handle concurrent su requests properly
