Superuser APK

Grant and manage Superuser rights for your phone.This app requires that you already have root, or a custom recovery image to work.

Note: App and binary will have different versions. The app is updated more often than the binary is.

This app cannot be uninstalled if it was installed with your ROM or root. If there is no uninstall option, it’s because you placed it in /system/app, not me. It is impossible for an app to be installed in /system/app by the Play store. In fact, the entire /system partition is read only at runtime. The only way for an app to be placed in /system/app is via a rooting process (which usually installs Superuser), or by remounting the system partition as read/write and manually putting it there.

Permissions requested are for:
Internet – updating the binary
External storage – backup/restore for elite users
NFC – creating an allow tag for elite users
Boot completed – fix database on boot

Support request emails that simply say “Doesn’t work” or something to that effect are automatically deleted by our stupidity filter and will not be answered.

Device Requirements & Compatibility

Before installing Superuser, ensure your device meets the following requirements:

Prerequisites

  • Rooted Device Required: Your phone must already be rooted or have a custom recovery image installed. This app cannot grant root access on its own—it only manages and grants superuser rights on devices that are already rooted.
  • Android Version: Compatible with devices running Android pre-Honeycomb and later versions, though note that the app underwent fixes for pre-HC device compatibility.

What to Check Before Installing

  • Confirm your device is rooted before attempting installation
  • Verify you have a custom recovery image if root is not yet installed
  • If updating the binary, ensure you have stable internet connectivity for the download
  • Backup important data before installing system-level apps, as uninstallation may not be possible if the app was pre-installed with your ROM

Installation Location

Note that if Superuser is installed in /system/app (either by a rooting process or manual system partition modification), it cannot be uninstalled through normal means. The app itself cannot be placed there by the Play Store, as the /system partition is read-only at runtime.
