Good way to start off the morning. #thankyou  

jonathan capellan commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:06:

+Chainfire could u also add a Dark Holo theme? That would be awesome!

Chainfire commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:08:

+jonathan capellan Settings -> Customization -> Theme. Select Dark. It is that easy.

Bojan Dragic commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:09:

What about S2(int) users, what install metod to chose?

Howard Townsend commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:28:

+Chainfire , you are a Star.

From the old guy... Farsquidge....;)

Christoph Meyer-Abich commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:30:

+Eric Adkins Install SuperSu from market, start it once and allow superuser. After that deactivate superuser in settings - apps. If you uninstall superuser it will be flashed again with next nightly so deactivating is the better way, because it stays deactivated. 

Williams Kate commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:34:

Dont like d new logo

Guenther Schmid commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:46:

+Chainfire In german translation u use "Über Update nörgeln" for "Notify me about updates".

Did u translate it like this intentionally? It's really funny 'cause in english it's something close to "nag/grizzle on update".

Adam Lord commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:53:

Missing the old icon :(

Williams Kate commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:55:

Yeah i am missin it too

Markus Birth commented on 2013-02-28 at 13:57:

+Adam Lord & +Williams Kate: You can set the old icon under Settings → Customization → Launcher icon

Gabriele La Greca commented on 2013-02-28 at 14:03:

Thanks +Chainfire !!

Sam M. commented on 2013-02-28 at 14:06:

+Adam Lord & +Williams Kate you have the option to change the icon in the app.

-> open SuperSU -> SETTINGS -> scroll down to "CUSTOMIZATION" -> Click on "Launcher icon" and you can change the icon. There are 5 icons. ( alwso Original(Chaingire))

:)

Joe Philipps commented on 2013-02-28 at 14:13:

uhhh...could you please explain "freeloader?"

Chainfire commented on 2013-02-28 at 15:00:

+Guenther Schmid I didn't translate anything ... it's all translated by users, here: http://www.getlocalization.com/supersu/

jan free commented on 2013-02-28 at 15:51:

Sad

Bazz Freeman commented on 2013-02-28 at 16:11:

Cheers +Chainfire . I think it's about time I paid for this.. I use it so often. Done.

Nathan Guenther commented on 2013-02-28 at 16:18:

Love the update, TWRP install worked successfully. Don't see any freeloader options though, so i guess i won't enjoy it while it lasts :P

Chainfire commented on 2013-02-28 at 16:38:

+Eric Adkins Install, go to (supersu) settings, follow steps to install into /system, then install the backup script. That should keep SuperSU installed across nightlies.

Guenther Schmid commented on 2013-02-28 at 17:20:

+Chainfire OK, so the german translator was a funny guy ;-)

Pete Le Boydre commented on 2013-02-28 at 17:57:

OUTSTANDING

Martin Zeitler commented on 2013-02-28 at 18:10:

+Chainfire "nörgeln" means to complain... "über Aktualisierungen benachrichtigt werden" would be the proper German translation for that string. Didn't even notice so far hence I don't use any localized systems... only stuck with a German keyboard.

Manny G commented on 2013-02-28 at 19:17:

Esta app es como superuser? pero mejor alguien que me explique por favor gracias

Andor Czafik commented on 2013-02-28 at 19:58:

Chris Goodale commented on 2013-02-28 at 20:52:

+Chainfire Just upgraded to jellybom rom 13. Should I still update?

Jules Archinova commented on 2013-02-28 at 21:33:

Upgraded, and it's well done !

Andor Czafik commented on 2013-02-28 at 21:34:

Converted to system app

Jules Archinova commented on 2013-02-28 at 22:42:

+Brad Hoschar free pro version

Tony Sarju commented on 2013-03-01 at 01:32:

I liked the old logo better :( great work though! 

Kristen McWilliam commented on 2013-03-01 at 02:34:

Instantly switched back to the super Andy icon :-)

Didn't see anything about recovery installer, maybe because I already have one?

Happy pro user <3

Mehdi Farzin commented on 2013-03-01 at 05:09:

u r amazing maaaaan :)

Chainfire commented on 2013-03-01 at 10:08:

+Ryan Malaspina Doesn't sound related to me ... unless you have some root app running that regulates charging.

Omar Bizreh commented on 2013-03-01 at 12:24:

+Chainfire the option in settings for activating pro features is enabled in the free app (v1.20) and I can activate the pro features !! did you intend to do that?

michael banner commented on 2013-03-01 at 12:26:

Much smoother than previous SU altho when I installed it my busybody had disappeared maybe something I did. But excellent upgrade m8 u made rooting possible keep it up +++++

Nicholas J Rousan commented on 2013-03-01 at 12:48:

Done.

Hans Gillberg commented on 2013-03-01 at 15:45:

Keep up The good work

Stephan Hafner commented on 2013-03-01 at 16:24:

Hi Chainfire, the app chrashes with a class not found exception now with 1.20. Worked fine in all older versions.

Chainfire commented on 2013-03-01 at 16:41:

Stephan Hafner commented on 2013-03-01 at 16:46:

+Chainfire It seems there's a problem with 1.20 https://plus.google.com/u/0/116709542966452959662/posts/MyWi4WLyPDH

Chainfire commented on 2013-03-02 at 16:18:

Get quite a bit of feedback re: GameGuardian not working. Details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38621554&postcount=2540 . I will not fix this, it is not a bug.

Cannot use cos my fon lost Su binary

Anuj Kapoor commented on 2013-03-07 at 20:16:

Hi Chainfire 

I am a fan of your work

I was reading your post on XDA where you mentioned that you are not a fan of Custom Recoveries. As they increase the flash counter which on many devices like my SGS3 cant be brought down to 0. Also the OTA update issues. I completely agree with you for the same reasons. And you had mentioned you use ODIN and Titanium Backup for the missing functions.

My question to you is that how do I wipe Dalvik Cache with custom ROM?

László Petőházi commented on 2013-03-07 at 23:58:

Is a Best, I like that :-) Good job!

Dennis Bong commented on 2013-03-09 at 10:22:

hi i remember u have a blog or forum which i found on how to root s3. I didnt bookmark the link but i followed u on Google+ (thank God)

Could u possible let me know the link for me thru it? My s3 was send for services for some hardware problem and receive them back in stock firmware but i cant remember where to get your link again. Thanks for the big help again

jean-christophe manciot commented on 2013-03-09 at 18:59:

+Chainfire, I thought you might enjoy discovering that it is possible to gain root privilege just by flashing your SuperSU app through CWM on a Motorola Razr HD under JB! ;) 

Ali Mama commented on 2013-03-10 at 03:19:

Très bien

Eric Dev commented on 2013-03-13 at 02:59:

I like your free app NoMorePower can I get the source code to it?

Ali Mama commented on 2013-03-16 at 02:27:

Bonne nuit à toutes et à tous
