Problem with root access

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I was unable to find anything searching for it.
I ended up getting stuck on the Sprint screen loading up trying to do the hotspot mod so I decided just to reflash back to stock and reupdate to MF9. This morning before running to work, I used the CF root (which is how I rooted the first time with no problems) and when I got to work I realized that SuperSU doesnt show up in my app drawer. But it does show up under manage applications. When I try running an app checker tool it just hangs and I have to force close it.
Any idea on how to get this fixed? Would just re-running the CF root when I get home help it?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to install super su fro. The market and see if that let's you give root permission to apps?

Yep, that's all it took, I thought I had tried that earlier when I noticed the other I downloaded was Super User instead (which failed) but the actual Super su app saw the original and overrode it and as is well. Thanks for the help! :good:

What root method have you tried?

I want to get a list of root methods people have tried and which ones have been successful.
Kingo Root seems to be the most discussed method, but various reports have raised questions about whether it steals data. Looks as though the official policy on XDA is that it's in limbo until deemed safe:

Someone else suggested OneClickRoot.com:
http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/lg-g-pad-8-3/
This method is widely used and from my research, considered safe by most people, but I don't know if anybody has used it successfully on a G Pad.
Please report in this thread what method you've tried and what worked.

I have tried Framaroot 1.7 but it did not work.

After rooting I replaced superuser with supersu from play store since this is best for GMD to work. I am happy?

I used the same method and also replaced Superuser with Supersu. And I installed Busybox from Google Play. The script works great! I would recommend that everbody who has not yet rooted use this method and not Kingo.

what are the advantages of replacing superuser with supersu? Is it an easy procedure to replace it?

I think the two apps are pretty similar. I read reviews that said that SuperSU was better for later versions of Android and Superuser was better for older versions. I've been using SuperSU on my phone for a while, so I'm more familiar with it. Probably doesn't matter much which one you use.
As far as switching the apps, just uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU.

Agree. Supersu is faster in granting permissions on every boot and is considered better suitable for OS JB and above

I also just rooted using this method - works as advertised. Simple. All set for custom ROMs now.

I deleted super user and downloaded supersu and it says im no longer rooted.

Can you root again as per the link in my previous post and then install supersu from playstore. Supersu will detect superuser and it will ask to delete it. This is how I did.

Open up a terminal app (say, Connectbot), Connect to local. When you get a $ prompt, type 'su'. If you get a # prompt, you're rooted.

Glad it worked I haven't tried changing recovery yet, sorry not in a position to comment.
I am experimenting with root apps now, will wait for sometime to try mods...

You can use SuperSU and there's nothing wrong with that but there's also nothing wrong with Superuser.
It works fine for new versions of Android, in fact it is what is built into CM11.
I think people are confusing the Superuser I included with the old Superuser made by ChainsDD. I included Superuser by Koush/Clockwork Mod because it is open source and used by CyanogenMod.
When it comes to an app that is so important to maintaining security then I stick with open source.

This is exactly what I was thinking while reading through this thread. Can't wait to see CM11 on the G-Pad, even though mine won't come in until Monday. Damn winter weather.

Fair enough, i have cyanogen in my samsung tab 2 and i never experienced any issues about it, and neither in my gpad. Thnx for clarifying this!

Marshmallow Xposed is out now!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Its finally here! Thanks Rovo

Working great on the 5x with the few modules I have tested.

Seems to have successfully installed, we are arm64 if anyone is unsure.
Which modules are working so far?

What rom are you using? Which version of v76 did you flash?

You'll want v77 (yes, v77) arm64, guys.

Pure NeXus with ElementalX kernel.
And v76 worked for me, but it's been superseded by v77, which is also working fine.

Hmmm I have pure nexus with elemental kernel and 76 didn't work. It booted but didn't work.
V77 is working perfectly though

Anyone know of a module that allows us to change the wifi / network strength status bar icons? I prefer the look of the older icons. First few I tried couldn't make the change.

I'm using greenify. Seems to be working fine. Wondering if its necessary with doze feature

Version 78 is already out with some bugfixes. Whats the difference between SDK 22 and 23?
Should we install xposed-v78-sdk23-arm64.zip ?
Just found the answer myself:
Sdk 21 - Lollipop 5.0
Sdk 22 - Lollipop 5.1
Sdk 23 - Marshmallow 6.0

Once the "No Device Check" module is working we will be able to use Android Pay on rooted devices without having to unroot before hand. I know it's also possible to use Android Pay if you use Chainfire's Systemless Root. Unfortunately, custom AOSP ROMs don't use this root method so you either have to stay on stock rooted with the systemless root or use workarounds.
However, once this module is fully working Android Pay should work no matter what ROM/root method you choose.

FYI - GravityBox is now available for Marshmallow too.

It wasn't working for me. Android Pay kept coming back with a security error. I suppose I could have been doing something wrong though.

Anyone using xposed on android OS v6.0.1?

You can by using XPosed. There was some root hiding module available.

seem to have found a working solution, uninstall banking app, install hide my root, from the app hide su binary, install banking app set up banking app then go back into hide my root restore su binary restart phone and on mine at least now have working banking app.

short lived only worked for a short while.

What about the Temporary Unroot function in SuperSU?
That works for most other apps that have a form of root protection.

Swipe up for App Drawer....

If there anyway to get this feature on Android 7 Touchwiz? I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher and I've tried installing S8 touchwiz Launcher with no luck. I'm not rooted and don't want to be on this device. Is there anyway to get swipe up for app drawer?
Many thanks peeps.

try this version here I had to use this one in order for it install https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release/
If that one doesn't install then you're going to have to root and manually install it.
