Just wondering what peoples thoughts are about granting su. I've always used supersu by chainfire since the day i first rooted my n7. But I've heard lots of good things about the new superuser from clockworkmod (koush).. Its open source, supports multi user, can be integrated directly into a ROM (ie in system and settings menu). Actually the ROM i use now has it integrated into the system. Haven't had any problems with it yet, but i never really had any problems with supersu either. What do all ya'll prefer?
I now use Koush's Superuser app. Its designed for the new Jelly Bean multiusers scheme, you can for example select for only owner to have root access. I also like the option of having to enter PIN number to allow root access for new apps.

My N7 is rooted and encrypted (manually, no toolkit) with stock rom.
I left it unattended for a couple of days, and when I flip open the cover, there's a process called "myls" asking for root permission. I denied it twice, and hasn't been asked since.
I went to terminal and tried to find the process/file named "myls" and found nothing. Nothing out of ordinary shows up on installed apps list. Search for myls+android yields nothing relevant.
How do I find the app/process responsible for this root request? Is this something I should worry about?
Thanks!

I have the same process now requesting root access on my galaxy nexus phone. I am rooted and running codename android ROM. I'm also curious to know what this myls process is that would like root access...
Hi. I was curious too about this process who popped up today asking for su after i was playing with scripts etc. Then i searched on active processes from terminal and noticed that myls proc is used by ScriptManager app ?. I'm using that app from two years and today is the first time i see myls proc. Maybe that's depending on what script we use with the SM's widget becouse myls popped when i run the "flush.sh" script of V6 Supercharger from the widget. You can try yourself: type su on terminal, then type ps and check the aplication that has the same USER as mysl. On my case is app_91 same as SM. Hope that helps ?
Bump?
Yeah, this requested access after I rebooted my CM10 device. My only root apps are:
Titanium Backup
AdAway
SetCPU
Pimp My ROM
PDroid 2.0
Script Manager
Root Explorer
Android Firewall
GOO Manager
Lucky Patcher (for an irritating license nag -I pay for my apps)
BusyBox Pro
SuperSU (paid version)
I run v6 and KAK scripts, too but have been doing that for ages. It's the randomness of it that I find suspect. Any further thoughts in this would be quite helpful as this seems to be the only discussion about it on the internets, period.
1. Is it possible
2. Do all users get root access? I assume SU would have to be installed for each user, if root access is desired, correct?
3. Does it cause issues?
4. Does the ADB Backup & Restore backup and restore ALL users?
....Anything I'm missing?

In the words of Chainfire, author of SuperSU, as it pertains to SuperSU 0.98 and 0.99:
Chainfire said:
Preliminary update for Android 4.2's multi-user capabilities.
Only the main user can run the UI and gain root access.
Secondary user's apps will not be granted root, nor can
those users change SuperSU configuration.
This is all temporary. Proper multi-user support is being
worked on.
Note that if a non-user process (like ADB shell) needs to
prompt for root, that prompt will always appear on the
MAIN user's screen !

Thanks that answers 1 & 2.
3. Any issues multi users are seeing after root?
4. Will ADB Backup & Restore handle my three current users?

I should have mentioned that my N7 is rooted with multiple users and I have not run in to any issues. I can't comment on the backup, however.

I have not had any issues with root for main "owner" user. But as stated other users currently do not have root access.
Backup? Don't know yet?
Other users currently do not have access to all apps that the owner has access to. Example. Google wallet only works with owner. Google Talk only with Owner.
So I really hope that once they figure out how to get root to all users... than all users can use all apps.
Google has made a one stop forward.... but long ways to go on multi user system. IMO

Completely agree on that one. Asked me to set up google wallet again for the second user (I had entered a different gmail id for the second user).
Had to install titanium backup separately for both the users. And apps installed for one user was not accessible to the other!! (from within titanium backup.)
However as the owner, I could see all the apps from under 'manage apps'. (Not visible from the normal drawer.) From manage apps, I can also see option to 'un-install for all users'.
As a owner, I wish, I could also install apps and control other user..
I have rooted my Nexus 7 in order to be able to use USB storage. It works fine-- I use "USB MassStrorage Watcher OTG" and can access my external 32GB Stick.
However, I added a second user (my Wife) and although I have use appshare to share all applications, I cannot read the USB stick when under her user name because it requires a rooted device and a second user system sees a non-rooted device.
The problem lies that Android N7 4.2.1 - does not have a facility to have a shared directory - so everything is hidden from one user to another: I had a plan that I could share books via the USB Stick and not waste the directories and memory space - but because the second user cannot access the USB stick it does not work like I planned.
Does anyone have a solution to:
1. Extend Root access to a second user
2. Create a shared directory that both (or multi) users can access?
3. Have USB access app that does not require root?
I am a first time Android user and the restrictions placed on the use of this device (Android in general) are pretty ridiculous - they make no sense!
Why do they (Google) want to cripple their own device? If the USB access is possible from hardware standpoint - why the intentionally block it and not make it part of the OS?
Why not allow shared directories ? I still copy from one user to another using computer - but it is convoluted and time/memory waste.
Hope there are good solutions out there that someone could direct me to.
Best regards

I tried Superuser 3.3 on my Nexus 7 but didn't work at least with cerberus. It just denies the root request

I just tried that and it worked fine for me. I went into the prefrences and changed the multi user setting to user controlled and it worked just fine.

Thanks for the tip, I will try it myself

apologies for reviving a thread.
But I managed to get the multiple user working with SuperSU but not superuser (on 4.3)
The problem I have is for some reason every time I install SuperSU although it works fine, It stops App Ops (Permissions) from working.
and because I really like to use them (instead of a third party permission tool) I'd like to get superuser.
Any ideas?
I have LG optimus one and Iam try new rom Omnirom beta 7 and beta 7.1. Iam saw ther isnt any superuser app and Iam try flash SuperSU (chainfire) and SuperUser (CloakWorkMod) with cwm recowery 6.4.0.6 and twrp 2.7.0.0.
Now I can run some apps like a total commander with superuser aces, Rom manager, but Iam style not can run titanium backup and lot of more. Sorry my English. Thanks for all reply.
Just FYI it is recommended to run twrp and su. Regarding you question: can you use the functionality that requires root in the apps you mentioned to be working? If not you simply have no su access at all. In case you can run them go into the su UI under settings and see if you can manually grant su permission to TiB and the like. It seems strange to me that super user should only work for some of your apps. I might be wrong though, I'm no expert.

Hello to everyone,
I own a Galaxy S5 G900F, (Unlocked Variant).
I have downloaded and installed LOLLIPOP AMBASADII.ODEX.V6.1 ROM with Aroma Installer and I am using Amplitude Kernel.
The rom came pre-rooted, with SuperSU Installed. I Only updated the app from the PlayStore. The program DID NOT prompt me for Binaries Update. I also have BusyBox installed.
When I check the root status with Root Checker, it says Success, which means there is root permission. Also, I checked it with Platinum Backup, and it also gives permission for root access. Finally, I downloaded a Root Browser, and that works fine as well.
The problem is with value-changing apps like game killer, game cih, haXplorer and game guardian. Although they prompt me to give permissions, and I chose "allow", none of them is able to work.
In game killer, it says "root privilage is needed"
In haXplorer, as soon as I open it is says "shutdown"
In game guardian, the program auto closes instantly.
All the above issues have to do with proper root Access.
So, how is it possible for programs like FX File Explorer (root), titanium (root), root checker and others to have root access, while others don't?
I would really like your answer on this, as I am trying for one week to solve this issue with no results.
Thank you.
Once you get root access, it is sytem wide, not by app.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I know that, so what should be the problem?
Maybe you need an app to hide or cloak root status.
That such thing exists for Xposed framwork, but thus it is not comparible with 5.0 TW ROMs, you will have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 in order to use it.
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble getting root on my Oppo Find 5 ever since I switched to cROMs based on Android 4.4.x or higher.
Until 4.2.x Framaroot apk did the trick for me, but it doesn't seem to work on the newer versions anymore. Right now, I'm using MIUI v7 (Android 4.4.4) and I'm pretty happy with it, but I hate not having root and I can't find anything useful online. Most English threads are from way back where .zip downloads are down already and/or the info is terribly outdated.
Did anyone find a method to root their X909 on Android 4.4.x and above?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Go to security app in MIUI and go to permissions => Root acces.

It only says that no apps have root permission. Does MIUI have a built-in root access? The Security stuff seems to me like a root manager only, similar to SuperSU and Superuser.
I also downloaded Root Check for whatever it is worth and it says my device is not rooted.
edit: I just checked some other threads and apparently developer versions of MIUI have built-in root access. My X909 is currently running the ported ROM by wuxianlin000000 though. I'm not sure if it's supposed to have root as well.
I tried starting Titanium Backup in hopes of getting a root access request, but it just showed an info box that no root access could be acquired.
I'm running the same rom and I have root acces. Dont know how I enabled it but it wasn't anything I had to flash and pretty sure it was something in settings. Try checking security app root options again and grant root acces to the apps that are listed.

I think I'm going to reinstall once again to see if it fixes anything (doesn't bother me that much since I wanted to try LVM installation anyway). Are prerooted cROMs the norm after 4.2.x? Else, I'd still really like to know a root method that works regardless of the ROM.
Short update:
I don't know why but MIUIs root worked when I checked again today. I don't know why, but beforehand there were no "requests" from apps shown under Security > Permissions > Root access. Today, however *something* (I really have no clue what) apparently changed and apps requesting root access are shown and I can grant them access.
