Was just wondering what the negative ramifications would be if I were to delete the supersu app that I used to root my device in the system apps, and replace it with the new one that Koush released through the play store? Thx in advance for the help!

Try it and find out. That's the only way to know

Re: [Q] Replacing supersu with superuser from Google Play as system app?
There's an option in SuperSU's settings to uninstall & cleanup the app in readiness for replacing with another superuser application.
I did this then installed Clockworkmod Superuser from Play store, no issues as yet on my N7.

Install it. Open it and give it Superuser permissions. Open a root app and make sure Koush's app is asking for root. If so, delete superuser from /system/app.
I do it all the time.
Where you can get into trouble is if you don't open the new Superuser app and root app before deleting the old Superuser. But fixing it is easy, just flash a superuser zip in recovery.

How can I launch an application to give it root permissions ? Can I possibly edit the apk without writing the program over ?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
You first need to root your phone. You could use z4root.apk. try searching the forums or google it. Apply permanent or temporary. I applied permanent root. The app will notify if a root is successful. Then you will need to have superuser app installed. Normally all the roms comes preinstalled with superuser. If an app asks for permission for root access just grant it and you're done.

My device is already rooted with SuperUser added ...... What im trying to do is give an app which was downloaded from the market root permissions . now the only way i personally know how to give an app root permissions is by FIRST programming it with root permissions . Once its compiled i dont thing i can launch an app as root . But i may be wrong . hence the thread

U can only give Root Permission if the app and for it
So I gave this a shot and it worked perfectly.
1. Root your Kindle Fire HD
2. Downloaded and install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk
3. Download Vending.apk
4. Using a file explorer app on the Fire with superuser permissions AND the system file permissions set to Read-Write, move Vending.apk to /system/app.
5. Change the permissions of Vending.apk to User - Read/Write, Group - Read, Others - Read
6. Install Vending.apk
7. The Android Market should show up in your Kindle Fire HD apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.
8. Download and install the Play.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Play market.
9. Enjoy!
GoogleServicesFramework.apk - mediafire.com/?zaumfwhraxcifqf
Vending.apk - mediafire.com/?31bn3e258jjpj8d

how about attaching said apks?
or at least which ones?
i'm going to guess it's the latest gapps for ICS though?
less then a week and its already been rooted and got the play store damn.

Keep in mind that we have no way of restoring the system folder yet, so if anything goes wrong with this process, you may end up bricking your tablet. Just a warning.
so, i'm getting application not installed errors when trying to do this.

Try adw launcher. Works for me. If you hit the home button it brings you back to the amazon launcher though. Adw gives you an app icon so you can always launch into it or add it to your favorites.

Worked for me as well and I'm not rooted! This is going to put big smiles on lots of folks' faces since many don't root. So this is what ICS really looks like on the KFHD! Time to personalize with widgets and themes!

I figured out how to get Google Play Movies to work as well. Place in system/app folder. set permissions to rw r r. reboot. install from file explorer launcher. If it doesn't work, reinstall again. Youtube signs in now as well using the same method!!!
YEAH BABY!
Thanks for your sharing!
It's almost the same with the method for Kindle Fire 1st gen.

i used root explorer, any app that can change permissions and mount /system rw should work fine
I've seen apps that you have to "push" them to install them. What exactly does that mean and how do I do it?

You need to use adb on a computer the command would be
adb push nameofapp.apk /system/app/
Or
You can use a file manager with root access and copy the app to /system/app and fix permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot
Sent from my Nexus 4
Or, alternatively you can use Titanium Backup to do the job.

Open TB
go to the backup/restore tab
find the app you want
Long press the app till a menu pops up
Find option to convert the app in the menu and follow directions

Well, I meant exactly like bobdarkside has just described. I think we might misunderstood you, because with TB you can only convert previously installed apks into system ones. So if you need to do it without installation go for adb or file manager method.

[Q] "Your device has been modified. Software updates not available" Unrooted
Hi,
I rooted my device with Odin/CF autoroot (still on stock rom)
I now want to get the official update. I've unrooted by using the 'Permanently Unroot' within Super SU. I've cleared the cache partition in recovery. I do not have an SD card.
It still says modified and won't update. Can anyone offer assistance?

The problem is going to be you have to be rooted to delete it. It is safe and should have been removed before you unrooted.

Rerooted in the same way. Ensured I am rooted (even downloaded Root checker). Navigated to system/app but there is no busybox there :/

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass but under system/xbin I only have
daemonsu
daemonsu-old
dexdump
su
Nothing busybox related.
I've done a full search using ES File Explorer of my local files - 0 results found for busybox.
This may or may not have anything to do with the update issue but it's worth a try. Sometimes the damensu-old file will remain in xbin after unroot. Next time before unrooting uninstall any play store update to the supersu app then unroot from settings in supersu. After you unroot use es file explorer to confirm that the only file left in xbin is dexdump. Then try the ota update.

Sounds like you need to reroot then use triangle away, then use those steps.

Rooted using the towel root app
Verified root through a play store root checker
Superuser works fine
I use xplore file manager changed settings in the file manager for a rooted device, so i dont think it's the file manager.
so i'm wondering do i need to set permissions somewhere I haven't already
Or does this have to do with the locked bootloader?
Fyi: if i connect my phone to my computer I can delete the files through the computer but it doesn't allow me to directly on my phone.
