Retirement from SuperSU

A little over two years ago I announced SuperSU's impending transfer to CCMT and my eventual leaving the project. Now, at the 10 year anniversary of my first mobile app release (see https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/8JmUc2EKSsc for a recap of those 10 years), just after SuperSU both turned 5-and-a-half and hit 100 million users on Google Play, the time has come for me to officially announce that retirement.

Formally my contract with CCMT runs until February 24, but from now on I will serve in an advisory capacity only, a few hours here and there. I might still wrap-up the release of a couple of features I have been working on and are close to finished, but I'm not making any promises.

Though it has spanned multiple platforms, I've done a lot of the same type of work these past 10 years, probably too much. Letting go of this will free up the time (and mental resources) to allow me to pursue some other interests again; learn some new skills, gain some new knowledge, find some new projects that excite again.

Future of SuperSU

CCMT will continue SuperSU's development, and I am confident that will turn out just fine; the people I have worked with over there have all had their hearts in the right place. I feel the two year transitional period (including full code review by yours truly) we have provided has been ample for the naysayers to find other solutions.

What's next?

This does not immediately affect any of my other apps, though as several are root-related in time it obviously might.

While I do intend to shift my focus, this does not necessarily mean I will be leaving mobile app development. Who knows what projects will come my way, I have no shortage of app, feature and service ideas (some good and some undoubtedly bad), and there's always the quest for knowledge and experience. Just like firmware.mobi was mostly a useful excuse for me to play around with Python, both Kotlin and Swift have been on my play-time wishlist for some time, and both are known to be used for app development.

Unfortunately I've had to pass up on a number of interesting projects over the past two years. Now my contract with CCMT is ending, this again allows me to take up other contract work, join new ventures, or even take a job somewhere. If you have a project I might find interesting on a technical level (does not have to be mobile related) or has a positive impact on the world (or smaller areas) don't hesitate to get in touch ( web201604@chainfire.eu ).

Fin

Thanks again to everyone who has supported me (and SuperSU) over the years, it has meant a lot to me.


10 year anniversary Hard to believe it has been that long, but today marks t...

Words simply cannot describe my appreciation towards you and the work you've done with SuperSU, including all of your other avenues of development throughout my experiences within the Android universe.

I wish you all the best in your next endeavors, thank you +Chainfire for everything you have done, for all of us.

RJ Trujillo commented on 2017-10-03 at 20:32:

Thank you for your numerous contributions. Android wouldn't be what it is to millions of users had you not done what you have over the years. I would never have even gotten into Android development at all were it not for your work (and a couple bricked devices half a decade back... But I learned the hard way). I hope you find an alternative as I hope to do sometime in the coming years. For now though, I have a lot to learn

Thanks for all sir Chain and congrats for having spare time again.

Ryan Cavitt commented on 2017-10-03 at 21:55:

Can you tell us who Codingcode are? Why are they so scared of coming out and being involved with the community? Why are they so secretive? If they would just come out about who they are, it would probably shut down 99% of the naysayers right then and there. We all trust you +Chainfire because you've been involved with the community, we do not trust these "Codingcode" people.

Anyways, thanks for everything and I hope your firmware.mobi website turns out well.

You single handedly changed my life in the literal sense, Chainfire. Because of you I discovered the no-restrictions path of Android and, in turn, opened all of our eyes to an ocean of creative thinking. Careers have been launched because of you.

Thank you infinitely

Yong Choon Teh commented on 2017-10-03 at 23:20:

Thank you Chainfire. Without you, there will be no current me. I started flashing my phone since Nokia N9 where they first ever ported android kitkat 4.4.4 to it. That time with SuperSU, i realise how great it is to root a phone and done alot of thing with it. Then i started the tinkering and coding :)

Terry Snell commented on 2017-10-03 at 23:24:

This is definitely a sad day For android Users Chain fire Is the route master I hope this is not the end for rooting Our android All of us who like rooting will truly miss chain fire I would Personally like to thank chain Fire For All he has Done for all of us miss wishes Once again thanks For all you have done Good luck in the future

Jake S commented on 2017-10-03 at 23:38:

Quite sad, but things do change sometimes for the better. If people dont like the way SuperSU is going, then there are alternatives such as Superuser by ChainDD.

Hats off to your well-deserved retirement from supersu!

Wazee Ahmed commented on 2017-10-04 at 10:06:

Well , I can't say I'm disappointed . I truly am . As this's decreasing the download rate of supersu in play store . Most people are shifting to other alternatives . Most are sayung as it's become a closed source project now , it can't be trusted . Most also complained that many of'em losr root access in some new releases . So I might as well say good bye to it too . Will miss you man . You were a trustworthy dev for us all . We'll follow your work in any part of the world , that's a promise . ?

Ibuprophen commented on 2017-10-05 at 18:29:

There's a handful of websites (i mean decent ones) that have articles, from yesterday and today, regarding Chainfire's Retirement from SuperSU.

It's funny on what most of the information being written is reflecting...

Chainfire's still around and there's so much mentality reflecting the "R.I.P." state of mind.

He's not dead... LMAO!!!

I look at it as a moving on point for Chainfire and placing more of his attention to current and future projects.

I'm a little excited to see what the future holds for the Creative Genius (in his own right and category) named Chainfire!

When it comes to SuperSU... I'm still faithful to the development and will keep an open mind but, if the future of it turns grim, then there are plenty of other (very good) developers out there to turn to.

This is just my one and only, personal, thoughts and opinions regarding, what i feel, is a "Blown out of Proportion" mindset of so many (not all) individuals.

Thank you all very much +Chainfire ! :)

Sam Alexander commented on 2017-10-05 at 19:31:

While Android is a community of thousands - millions of voices - One Voice stands out as someone who has had an impact on more android users than just about any other I can think of. Chainfire - you are legend - we are all grateful and much better off for the contributions you have given us.

Timmy M commented on 2017-11-21 at 11:49:

Dear Mr. Chainfire

I haven't had the pleasure to meet you on the vast grounds of XDA yet but as you might guess, your reputation precedes you. As I was doing some research for a reply (I always contest myself. Instead of saying I know something, I must confirm it first) I landed on an article by HowToGeek that linked to your page that brought me to this post and the last one. I've read them with great interest. I may have gained a new fun fact (XDA was a Windows platform, what do you know) but the community lost a legend. I know you're not disappearing but it's still a form of goodbye. So even though we haven't met, I'd like to add, among all these thankful posts, that you reached so many people in such a good way. Thank you for your devotion, thank you for the endless hours, thank you for creating amazement.

Cheers

Timmy (@Timmmmaaahh)

Nytelife26 commented on 2018-02-13 at 08:54:

+Hacker Nub If you format the device, you'll lose everything (so it's a bad idea unless you really know what you're doing). Unless of course you mean factory reset, in which case, you'll only lose the root if it's systemless (I doubt it considering you're asking here which means you're probably using SuperSU, which isn't systemless).

In short, no, factory resetting your phone won't unroot the device unless you're running a systemless root.

Saludos a todos, soy nuevo y hace 1 semana rotie mi tabla canaima y me daba un mensaje en alguna aplicación de que la aplicación se ha detenido, por lo tanto opté por hacerle una restauración y fue fatal porque perdí la aplicación de descarga y ahora no puedo descargar por internet nada porque se sale, lo que puedo es ver, ni siquiera puedo descargar un gestor de archivo, ya que también perdí la aplicación de bazar canaima. Lo que me queda es el internet y ahora la aplicación de súper su, pero con esta no puedo descargar nada, creo que a menos que compre súper su pro...requiero por favor de alguien que pueda ayudarme en este caso...please...
