Superuser permission blank

I am new to this whole rooting business so please forgive me. So I just finished rooting my device by putting update.zip into the internal memory and help the power button with the volume button. I then turn the device back on and immediately hit superuser permission app and it is blank. Did I do something wrong? How do I get other root apps on to this device? Thanks

If you have the superuser permission app and your phone is not a brick, then it seems you did evrything correctly. The permissions app is just a list of apps that need superuser permissions to work correctly. So because you have no other root only apps that need super user permissions the list is empty. When you install an app that needs super user permissions it will popup in the middle of the action and ask if "you want to grant permissions to this app" if you trust the app then hit allow. You should get a small confirmation after hitting allow.
Root apps are all over, some are in the market other aren't.
Now go download some root only apps.

I have a few I would recommend in the sticky fyi. ^ is correct, all sounds normal/good to me from what you described.

[Q] How to delete or clear Superuser Permissions log?

After rooted my Galaxy S, everything work fine except one problem that I need help.
Under Superuser Permissions, I have seen a very long log, and there is no way to delete or celar them off my Galaxy s. For sure it will take up storage memory. No clear log option in Settings of Superuser Permission 2.3.4.
Any friend here can tell me how can I delete or clear this Superuser log? So that it won't eat up my storage space
Thank for advise and solutio n in advance

[q] help removing pre-installed bloatware after rooting

my mt4g is rooted but i cant delete or move the bloatwares.
astro>system>app (it says: error deleting files)
i dont understand whats going on bcus the steps seem simple but somehow its neither deleting nor allowing it to be moved to my sd card.
any help would be most grateful. thanks in advance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and one last question. now that my phones rooted, s=off, may i delete visionary, the terminal emulator, and superuser???
>> i have more tasks running now that its rooted along with my inability to remove the bloatware

For your first question, astro cannot delete system apps if you're not mounted r/w, which you wont be by default. Root Explorer gives you the option to mount r/w and then delete apps. alternatively, you may want to install titanium backup and use the "freeze" feature so you can easily restore them if you want in the future.
You can remove visionary, and the terminal emulator if you want, but you'll need the superuser app to grant root permission to any apps that require root in the future.

Don't arbitrarily delete bloat. Use Titanium to freeze apps you don't want like option94 suggested. Some of those apps are tied into the sense ui and deleting them can make things screwy. After freezing in Titanium, if everything is working well, you can delete if you want. Make a nandroid backup before you do anything permanent. I would leave the stock rom alone and flash a rom like iced glacier which is basically optimized stock with all the bloat removed. Don't forget the make backup part.

thanks i didnt quite understand what 'mount r/w' means or what it really does but as long as changing it to 'mount r/o' makes those unnecessary apps go away, im happy. thanks again

r/w = read/write - you'll be able to make changes
r/o = read only - you wont be able to make changes.

App permissions in rooted phones

Hi all,
In a rooted phone, if an app does not ask for super user access (as reported by the Superuser app), does it have exactly the permissions it has in a non rooted phone?
Thanks,
K.

if it doesn't ask for SU permissions, but it works its not a rooted app, now if it doesnt work it might be a rooted app and you might have to fix permissions
edit: if it works yes it has the same permissions

Titanium Backup Help I9505

thanks to the brilliant efforts of all the members here at xda forums I was able to root my Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 bought may 2014 out of warranty (didn't need even though had no root) bought may 2014 successfully all things work fine my question is that:
titanium backup detects both backup directories as valid shows all the files but says with extSdCard shows a red folder saying "This folder is not writeable" what's the deal here and how to fix it
additional question not related to this topic exactly but better than starting another thread
I didn't use triangle away and don't give a fudge about knox counter but would really like to remove knox and all its components from phone
the stuff that's on the phone is taking a lot of space and I want some of it back
any help would be appreciated

Enter titanium backup preferences and go to the "backup folder location" setting. Next, touch the "storage provider" and select something else, like documents provider if available.
This may fix that problem.
As for knox, just do a Google search on what apps belong to knox and delete them with titanium backup.

as I understand using your method does show the backup location in extSdCard
but the entire root directory containing system file i.e.
/storage says not writeable
/storage/extSdCard not writeable
/storage/emulated/ not writeable
but
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
are accessible by TB here it says <<Create New Folder>>
I'm going like this {} trying to solve this over and over navigating file path changing locations
also does freezing BusyBox would effect this
or is it affected by SuperSU's Mount namespace separation
I'm very confused and frustrated because finding an alternative to TB would be a miracle

My method was a temporary fix for when marshmallow first released and app permissions were f'd up. It had the same problem. Thought it might help you too.
You can restore apps from the sdcard, but you can't backup to it.
Busybox is required for pretty much any rooted app. It also doesn't show up in Titanium Backup normally.
Maybe you should update it or install another version.
Or try the sd fix app by nextapp inc.
