So when I rooted my phone my superuser application had a ninja as an icon and it will work perfectly. It will ask for permitions once. Well now I noticed that that app is no more and is replaced by a superuser app that has a pirate Droid as icon and asks me for SU permitions all The time even when I check remember...
Is it because I installed Bacon bits? If is that, can anyone, please tell me how I get rid of Bacon bits? ( I only installed it because it was an easier process than the other )

My e4gt rebooting constantly on 4g. "Unknown user granted su permission" pops up before reboot.
how do i know whats causing this?
just installed calkulins 1.5a rom and installed some apps with titanium(which is probably the culprit)
Run Superuser from the app drawer and clear all the permissions. Then when the offending app asks for permission a prompt will come on your screen and you can identify the offender.

tried it...and no app shows up just the permission granted and then reboot. it seems to happen when i try using any app that uses the data service. the log in su has a permission granted but no description of offending app.
Personally I wouldn't be comfortable if an app I had no idea about started requesting root permissions on every startup. You probably do want to track it down. Worst case you can reinstall the base ROM and then put your apps back one at a time until you see the culprit.
Lettuce know what the app is too, it needs to be reported.

One time, I installed Teminal IDE. And then, I uninstalled it. BUT EVERY TIME I FLASH A NEW ROM IT STARTS DOWNLOADING! And its the first thing to download everytime, so it uses up data before the wifi can connect. I was wondering, how to prevent Terminal IDE from installing. I think I remember seeing something about Titanium Backup removing the app from my account, but i'm not sure about that....

I was just using the browser on my e4gt running the leaked fk23 rooted rom, and I got a pop-up that said "shell has been granted superuser permissions". it kept popping back up about 15 times in rapid succession and I was never prompted to allow or deny it. I got scared and turned off wifi and went to airplane mode, but my phone seems fine now. im clueless, so can someone clear this up for me? im using chainfires superuser, not supersu, and there is no app on my phone called shell
shall is the system. Look in the su app at the log and see what's been asking. Also get the exynos abuse apk by chainfire

oops. wrong thread. my b.
I saw in another thread that I didn't notice to switch to super su, and I haven't gotten It since. I figured something or someone was trying to open a shell. all it said in the log was shell permission granted or whatnot.
Shell is the VM android runs in ontop of the linux kernel. Anytime you want to know what gaining root access check the log in su or supersu app it will show all allowed and blocked root access attempts

I'm on stock E980 Kitkat and I just rooted my phone using the Root Tool for Kitkat (can be found elsewhere in the OGP forums). Everything went fine and the next step is to install SuperSU or Superuser from the Play store. This has been my routine all through my Android life: Root and then install a superuser app.
Well, currently I don't have any of these Superuser apps installed (honestly, I was in a hurry and simply forgot to install one) and everything is working perfectly fine. According to Root Checker, I have full root access. All apps who require root are working perfectly fine; maybe even better. Titanium Backup restored all my apps. No issues whatsoever!
So my question here is this:
In order to have proper root and for everything to qork perfectly, is a superuser app really necessary? Or can I just keep things the way they are right now (no su app) and expect everything to work just fine?
PS:
I've been having to reflash my rom several times because of certain root-requiring apps constantly force closing on me. I've had SuperSU installed while this has been happening and without an su app, these apps are doing exactly as they are supposed to. I'm now wondering if there is a bug (or just some other issue) in SuperSU or something.
In Beanstalk thread, its OP recommended to install SuperSU App and uninstall it afterwards.
Kinda confusing and i dont know its purpose from a developers perspective.

My guess, and this is coming from the few hours today using my phone without an SU app, is that it's a security thing (?).
Without the SU app, anything on my phone has root access as it pleases and I have no clue as to what is being granted these permissions. This is fine for me personally because everything I have installed that needs root, I WANT to have root access and it's really annoying to me to have to have to manually grant everything access.
So, I'm starting to wonder if the SU apps are simply for managing root access; allowing certain apps permission, while restricting the access of others.
So far, I've been running the phone several hours without any SU app and the phone is working great! I don't have to constantly grant apps permission all the time (or well, first time I guess).
Super SU
It is better if you could have Super Su installed because then you can control apps that needs root permissions. Some times root privileges required apps can harm your device.

OK, so SU apps like SuperSU are basically used to manage root access from root-requiring apps. A security measue basically.
This is what I figured, but had to make sure.
Thank you
