How do i give my app SU permission?

im writing an app and it requires root permissions, can anyone help me out?

Normally you execute "sh" to open a shell and then you keep streaming commands to it.
The only difference is that you need to use "su" instead of "sh"
See http://code.google.com/p/netmeterle...statusled/utilclasses/ChargingLEDLib.java#295 for an example

Thank you so much!

Flashing bootloader without a computer(rooted)

I've downloaded redbend_ua and the clockwork recovery image. They're both currently on my sdcard's root. I'm trying to copy redbend_ua, but there's no 'cp' command???
I've been a Linux SysAdmin for over 5 years, so I'm comfortable on the command line. Where's cp? Is there an easy way to install bash 3?

I can't link the post with tapatalk, but detailed instructions are in a post labeled "Clockwork recovery no computer method"
By default the cp command isn't included in android... it is included in busybox. There is an app on the market, and the one click roots install it by default. Without busybox the cat command is used as so: cat > .

Wow... I'm embarrassed I didn't try that. I'm usually against piping cats but sfobv that's what is needed.

Do you have Widget Locker installed?

I do not. from market?
edit: found it, is there a free way to do it?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

All You have to do is create a file named "enable_glass_lock" and put it in /data/local
If you need step by step on this I can tell you multiple ways (some easier then others, but the easy ones may cost for certain apps, such as root explorer)

I can't find /local in my data folder

Wtf really?
It should be there. What are you using to look?
Root explorer?
Try terminal. You can use any free terminal emulator from the market. Use thee commands
$ su
# ls
This should show a list of directories
then:
# CD data
# ls
Again a list should show up and local should be there.
You can also try to change to the local directory to see if you get any errors :
# CD local
If you can CD to local then it exists and you are either not looking properly or whatever app you are using doesn't see it. Terminal is sure fire way to see if it exists.

[Q] ADB freezes when taping commands

I had to restore my Iconia, so i used the acer.Update.zip, then i flashed my system.img using connectbot directly from my tablet, then i did an hard-reset, now I need to push wifi modules.
I installed the android sdk and then i installed iconia drivers too on my Desktop PC running Windows Vista x32 (i know it sucks but right now i can't change os).
I run adb with the devices command and it recognizes my iconia, then i try to run any other command, as adb install C:\my.apk or adb shell and nothing happens...
If I try to close the shell it closes but the abd.exe process doesn't close even if I use the task manager, I have to reboot the PC.
Someone knows what to do, I yet googled but i haven't found anything...
excuse me for my bad english...

Well first off for your wifi modules you don't need adb any root file explorer will work. Put the modules on your SD card then copy them and go to system/lib/modules miunt the system as rw and paste them. Then reboot.

It did used to be in the guide....
It involves using a terminal emulator
then doing something along the lines of the below, however i cannot remember the exact commands. So don't go using that.
su
mount /system/xbin, -rw
touch /system/xbin /system/bin
mount /system/xbin, -ro
