SuperSU (AKA: 超级授权管理) is a professional and very popular Superuser access permissions management edge tool for Android devices that have been rooted. It was originally developed by Chainfire (full name: Jorrit Chainfire Jongma), later purchased by Coding Code Mobile Technology (CCMT) from China in 2015. Although it has stopped development and mysteriously disappeared from the Internet, it has reached the point where it can root Android 5.0/6.0/7.0 perfectly and easily without modifying the Android kernel.

As a very pure Root permission management software, SuperSU natively has neither ads, nor any useless functions to affect the user experience; it makes hard things simple, and is more powerful than Superuser; its UI is more beautiful, and runs more stably! It supports the superuser access management for all applications on a rooted device, and allows user to uninstall any unwanted pre-installed software without any residue, thus making the Android phone run faster and be more energy-efficient to a large extent. More importantly, it neither opens permissions privately, nor sets internal backdoors. And, it provides access records of superuser permissions, which makes the application's authorization situation clear at a glance.

As the world's leading and most popular Android-based mobile phone permission management app, SuperSU's role is to help user solve the authorization and renewal of ROOT permission, and make sure it's not abused. But as the rapid development of smartphone hardware (especially RAM and CPU), fewer and fewer users would like to or need to flash their Android devices now. Even so, SuperSU is still pretty valuable for the minority. Of course, after the disappearance of what was once the single best Android authorization management app, a better choice is Magisk.

Prompts

  • If you have implemented Android root through CF-Auto-Root before, you'd better flash back to the official kernel and use the new root. Of course, it's also OK not to do that, but that may affect the future OTA upgrade feature.
