Superuser vs Superuser Permission what's the difference?

I han be just rooted my Evo and everything is running great, thanks to there help of people on this site. My next question is I used Unrevoked to root my phone then went back and installed Amon Ra instead of clockwork. What I am wondering is unrevoked installed Superuser Permission but I see other people using Superuser. What is the difference I know they do the same thing. I was wondering if it was the same app just an updated version or something totally different.

Basically, there's no important difference. Everybody who had root uses it or they're dumb.

I know what both apps done that was not the question. I wanted to know what the difference between them were. I was just wondering if the one on the market was a newer version our are the two apps totally different. I agree that you need to have that kind of app installed for permissions to su.

One on market by ChainsDD is new and updated and one with ninja is older and out dated.

Typically Superuser is the app that indicates you're rooted. When you use a root access app, like rom manager, it needs super user permissions, basically access to the root files so it can operate.
It's there any reason that I should remove "Superuser Permission" and install "Superuser".
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You can use an app like root explorer to delete the old Superuser Permissions app. Then you can flash or install from market the Superuser app by ChainsDD.
Reason for this would be that the app by ChainsDD is newer and updated quite frequently, where as the older app is a dinosaur. Not that it doesn't work, but if you have an issue with it your SOL as updates to it have ceased.

So the Superuser Permissions asp is what is causing the Superuser app to not install.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Dunno. But I would definitely get rid of it and upgrade to ChainsDD's version. If you Google Superuser you should be able to find the thread that has a flashable version. Delete the old Superuser Permissions app, boot into recovery, and flash the the new one.
Should work.

Yeah I found ChainDD on here and downloaded his zip file. Went to recovery and installed it updated it through market and everything is running. Thanks every one for the help.

No pre-installed file manager??

Hello,
This might sound stupid...I had to copy some files from my pc to my Xperia Play for school (normal .pdf files) when I've putted everything on my phones sd card from pc ofc,I couldnt find a file manager :/ on my previous phone : Samsung Galaxy W there was a pre-installed app to open files...Also wheres the taskmanager ? I really need help ... I just installed Astro filemanager.So wheres the original file manager?!
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Task manager or the closest thing to it is in settings>apps>Manage apps>Running Services>*click running at the top right*.
There is no Sony Ericsson file manager.
Well sad that there is no file manager :/. What filemanager do you guys use?I use the ES Taskmanager as taskmanager .
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Root Explorer all the way. It's the most simple, powerful and elegant file manager out there. Huge searches in seconds, a wholly unobtrusive UI and a tad of options like the possibility to peek into zip files, a nice text editor... I just can't love without it.
ES File Explorer's been the best for me, especially when it comes to network functionality. Very easy to access the shared media on my computer with ES File Explorer.
Oh wow guys for helping .Im using ES Filemanager its the best.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Seriously, you haven't tried File Expert yet...
Besides, Root Explorer is for guys who do a lot of modding system settings. So for your case, a straightforward application [and also more elegant] is what you need.
Mine came with 'office suite' pre-installed which is a file explorer.

Office suite doesnt read all files.

Don't use task managers / killers, even google say that.

Post your favorite root app

Hello people of XDA,
I would like to start a new thread called post your favorite root app, its pretty much self explanatory. I will start my favorite root app is titanium backup.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Mine is Superuser No but on a serious note Titanium Backup is a must-have and i also love Solid Explorer
I have several that come to mind:
System Tuner Pro
Screencast
ROM Toolbox Pro
Of course my fave root app is link2sd
This is the problem solver for device which had very limited internal storage
Great app!

using es file explorer because its free and has root options and titanium back up to debloat and back up
Titanium backup (or similar) by far... without an app as convenient as that android wouldn't be half as sweet.

[Poll][Q]Best file manager for android?

What is the best file manager for android.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
You can use Astro File Manager or Root Explorer
undoubtedly solid explorer
Solid Explorer or Es File Explorer
Another vote for es file explorer. Its easy to use but so powerful. I even use it to stream video from my PC on my home network. It finds samba shares automatically. And you don't, need a separate root explorer as it can do root tootoo

> OI filemanager, its a plain filemanager and doest the job well. or Inka filemanager
Root explorer

Use Terminal Emulator
Rename/Move: mv [FILE] [FILE2/PATH]
Copy: cp [FILE] [PATH]
Delete: rm [FILE]
Rootaccess: su
Show file-content: cat [FILE]
BRICK PHONE : erase_image recovery
It‘s very easy to use !
Too much typing for my fat fingers. Lol

No Doubt 'ES FILE EXPLORE'
XDA Premium
As the replies clearly shows, there is no best file explorer, only best for you. Try them all then decide for yourself. Its like this with every application, from launchers to back up software. It all comes down to what you want it to do, how close it comes and how easy you find the application to be to use. Personally I use both solid explorer and es file explorer.

File manager

Is there a file manager available on the Play Store, that will allow you to change the rw permissions of a file?

I use Solid Explorer and I know it can do that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer&hl=en
Root Explorer, Root Browser
ES File Explorer also can do that.
