Piracy isn't limited to end-users, OEMs can do it too. Here's a lit story about one such OEM - in China.
You might have heard of Zenithink, a fairly well-known Chinese manufacturer of budget Android tablets. Let me tell you a little story about their business practices.
Unlike my Twitter account - which is a 24/7 random thought machine for me - I try to keep my G+ feed rather clean.
I think I've finally tracked down the last freeze/crash issues that were introduced in v1.00 for a handful of users.
One of the things that has been "resolved" is the "dumpstate" situation. Resolved is in quotes because the problem has always been there, SuperSU just only picked up on it in 1.00 and 1.01, and it's now back to being ignored as it was in the past.
A few days ago, I released SuperSU v1.00. Shortly after, it became apparent a number of users were suffering from an issue where dumpstate would request superuser access. Neither accepting nor denying dumpstate would really help, and for some users this made their phone completely unusable.
The update should be available from Google Play right about now, and if not, you can always download and install it from XDA. The linked article has links to all the places you may wish to go, and serves as the release notes for v1.00.
I have just released version 1.00 of SuperSU on both Google Play as well as XDA. This article serves as the release notes - for a bullet-point list of changes, see the changelog post on XDA.
No doubt some of you will be disappointed, but hey, you had your chance.
A lot has been said about the SuperSU icon. Many were unhappy with the original icon, saying it lacked quality. After changing it to Super Andy, many complained the icon was not serious enough. Just as many people wrote me to say they loved Super Andy, as there were who hated it.
