Updated Superuser.apk, v1.2.0 (updated 2009-11-10)

I'm working on a new version of su & Superuser.apk. The changes are pretty basic now, just some code cleanup and a major UI overhaul. I have more things planned, we'll see where things go. Check out the screen shots and download it if you like. Let me know what you think.
Thanks go out to Zinx for putting the original together, and Cyanogen for making the source available.
v1.2.0 is small big fixes, and some changes that should help it to work on more ROMs. I went ahead and made an update.zip this time to make sure that everything gets put in the proper place. I've only tested this on CM 4.2.3.1, so as always, backup first, and then install. Please let me know of any success/failure on different roms.

cool ill check it out in a bit

Thanks. I'll use this in my attempt to root my new CLIQ unless a major bug is found....
EDIT: I know what this is,just saying I'll use this to control access to root,once rooted.

will this remember the previous version's always allowed apps?

I haven't tested it, but it should... Let me know?
edit: Just tested it, it will remember previously allowed apps.

I like the overlay concept. The old full screen sometimes popped up at the wrong time and the wrong button got clicked. This looks more "up-to-date" Gonna test it out and cook it into some ROMs

No offense to the OP is meant by this:
but is there any chance that we can get sourcecode for this? (If I'm going to install something that governs my phone's root permissions, I want assurances that it doesn't contain malicious code. This is just good practices, and is //not// meant as any form of sleight to the OP.)

Seconded, it does remember previous settings.

+1 for this

Pushed to TheOfficial TMO, but it ain't working for me. To be cross-posted to that thread momentarily.

I like the new look to it but honestly if there is no new functionality to it I dont see any need to change it. For me, its a case of leaving well enough alone. It does look good though.

I hadn't tested this on anything but CM 4.2.3.1, I had assumed it would work on any build that uses Zinx's su setup, but I could be wrong. I'll have a look at it tonight, I gotta head off to work.

seems to be just a graphical overhaul to the app, but what about su? what's different on it? I don't have the original source, guess I'll look for it.

Install
How do i install this I ran it through Root explorer ran it and it says Superuser 1.1.apk cant be installed on this phone. I tried putting it in the system/app folder restarted and it didn't pop up.?!?

You really shouldn't be using root explorer to replace any internal .apks, instead push them with the terminal and the linux commands.
Also, if you're gonna use root explorer or terminal, make sure the .apk name is superuser.apk not superuser 1.1.apk.

Thanks I'm going to find out how to push it with terminal.

Just tried Superuser.apk v1.1.0. The interface is better - I always thought a separate screen for SU requests was kinda wasteful. And I can also second that it saved my old permissions.
However...as a test, I deleted all my previous permissions and tried running su in Terminal Emulator. The SU request came up almost instantly, but after clicking "Deny" it took a while before the terminal responded with "Permission denied". This only happened the first time I tried it, though - denying subsequent requests goes through almost instantly. I see the same behavior with initially allowing the request vs. initially denying and subsequently allowing. Hopefully this explanation makes sense, lol.
I see your screenshots appear to be stock CM v4.2.3.1, so what I'm seeing probably something specific to my setup (BFS-304, M_Blend theme, compcache+backing, etc.), but I figured I'd let you know anyway.
Excellent work!

a new superuser app that when you entered the super user app it showed all the apps that have or do not have superuser access would be awsome

agent2594 - I understand what you're saying. I think that's something going on in the su binary, which I can't get to compile right just yet... but when I do I'll see what I can do about that.
Joe333x - I think but I could be wrong, that what you're looking for is the Superuser app in the app drawer. It'll show everything that are either allowed or denied access.

I second that. The greatest addition would be to have a list (in human readable format) of programs that have been granted/denied SU permission.

HOW DO I UNDO A HACK !?!?!? (a noob needs help)

Hey I did this hack which was said to increase 3g/2g speeds:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.sapphire.prop /system/build.sapphire.prop
the speed didnt really change much, but what i noticed sometimes was that after i did this hack my data connection is not there at all even if the signal bar says i have a full signal?? idk whats up??
How can I undo this hack??

Quick way to fix it, Throw it at a wall. MAke sure to do it hard enough though to where everything separates... basically it looks like an explosion of phone parts.

oh how ironic.

at the begining we all were noobs. so dont shoot at him
su <------ this makes you SuperUser (or better use SuperUserPermissions?)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system <---- this makes the systempartition writeable
cp /sdcard/build.sapphire.prop /system/build.sapphire.prop <--- this replaces the file "build.sapphire.prop" in the /system directory with that one on your SD Card.
so best way to undo that (if you have not make a backup from your old build.sapphire.prop) is to flash your rom fully new

@rest. and for you xda needs a h4X0R test

If you have the .zip file of the ROM you're using, just open it, extract the /system/build.sapphire.prop and then push it
Code:
adb push build.sapphire.prop /system/

Oh, dear lord. Seriously, don't root your phone, I really don't think you'll get to take advantage of it. Why are we harsh? Because
a) you aren't thinking for yourself (if I restore stock, will it be stock? are you kidding?)
b) you posted in the wrong section (I'm looking for roms and other stuff and I see this stuff)
c) Your questions are answered elsewhere. Maybe if you knew how to search most of it yourself, then you'd be set! You don't even need to search, you just need to use the squishy thing located in your head for this specific question!
and d) probably because if we keep feeding you answers to, um, silly questions - you'll just keep asking more and more.

I'm facing the same situation, but I've compared the build.prop of the Cursorsense and the "hacked" one and they have the same settings. So probably it depends on the provider.
Anyway my stock rom (TIM) was a little different;
I'm a noobie but if you just want to revert to basic settings I think the fastest way is to edit the script and:
ro.ril.hep=1 OK
ro.ril.hsxpa=2 DELETE
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 DELETE
ro.ril.gprsclass=12 DELETE
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8 DELETE
ro.ril.enable.a53=1 DELETE
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1 DELETE
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295 OK
ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 14449 CHANGE TO 800881
ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5 DELETE

[Temp] Fix for missing apps on froyo

in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix

Then I edited the 2 lines on my PC with notepad++ and saved. Then I put it on my sdcard, remounted /system readwrite and copied it over to /system/build.prop and then rebooted.
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su (if your ROM didn't already drop you in to root, and check your phone for the superuser popup)

Any ideas?

Did you reboot your phone?

yes, and after rebooting a rechecked my build.prop file to make sure it took, and it was correct

Nevermind, I got it to work...
The end of the second line was missing the s. Put the s in, and it works perfect.

Can I get some clarification on this? I am using Mammon 1.0.3.1 and cannot get my sprint football ap to work.
Would this be an example of what this would fix?

Could the MSID number in my phone being different from my phone number be the reason it doesn't think this is a SPrint phone?

Thanks for posting a fix but it also didn't seem to work for me. I have been trying to load a program called Laser Appraiser from maket with no avail. Can anyone find it in their market?

I tried downloading it and saving it to my SD card, but it's a protected app. I use AppMonster, which backs up all the apps for when I do flashing, but it doesn't do protected ones. Sorry man, I tried.

sorry i havent replied, most of the roms out there SHOULD have this baked in... i know acs and quantum do and the cm rom should but ill ask noob just to be sure.

[Q] 2.2 Dev firmware for 1 night only

Guys, I've got a 2.2 dev firmware transformer unit for tonight only. Are there any files I should rip before I have to send it back tomorrow? Seems like lots of dev tools installed. I know there are dumps out there, but perhaps the files can be useful.
3.0 version arriving tomorrow hopefully.

It makes sense to dump root and system partitions. Data can also have some useful stuff, but no partition dump needed, may be just /data/app directory. Could you try playing YouTube videos using native app? Does it drops frames?

Seriously. There's been a whole lot of dicking around on this, when this would give us everything to pore over offline. Don't let another one go to waste!

Also get the output from 'cat /proc/partitions' so we know where to split up the partitions.

It's not about the Froyo ROM, nobody wants that on his TF, really
But since it's a dev device, our devs hope that it is less locked down and perhaps flashable with nvflash for example. This would give us great opportunities. I'm no dev myself, but I hope I could help.

get the files from the /data/ folder.
We believe some dev tools are in the /data/ folder instead of /system/app/, since other people had some apps disappear after they did a factory reset.

I'd back up everything I could.. assuming MicroSD is at /Removable/MicroSD...
Feel free to sub values according to busybox df -h.. for example, if there are 300MB of files on the data partition... create an image accordingly..
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/Removable/MicroSD/data.img bs=1M count=768
Bold indicates that it may have to be done in linux.. in this case.. I'm talking about making the ext4 file system on the created images.. in which case.. loop devices wouldn't be in /dev/block/...
for the acutal script..
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/Removable/MicroSD/data.img bs=1M count=768
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/Removable/MicroSD/system.img bs=1M count=300
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop2 /Removable/MicroSD/data.img
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop3 /Removable/MicroSD/system.img
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/loop2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/loop3
mkdir /Backups
mkdir /Backups/data
mkdir /Backups/system
busybox mount /dev/block/loop2 /Backups/data
busybox mount /dev/block/loop3 /Backups/system
cd /data/
cp -aR ./ /Backups/data/
cd /system/
cp -aR ./ /Backups/system/
then you can use 'dd' to grab whatever other partitions you can find..
I guess this 'offer' is over with.. but I still have a quesiton.. what size was the device? 16 or 32?

Agree, would be great to have the whole thing
I'm mostly interesting in the stuff on the /data partition, since they have apps installed on there that are not in the current system dump

I sent itback and got a nice new 3.0 version. Had to pay again though and wait for ebuyer to collect and spend a week checking the old one though before i get my money back. Consider this very bad customer service.
Managed to rip all the apps from app and system/app. Got the ones that were deleted in a factory reset too! Will find a way to make them available soon.

Guys im not trying to be negative but did no one read what i posted with the last one ?

[MOD][VZW][4.2 & 4.4]Statusbar Graphic fixes

So, I love the Moto X, but a couple things had been bugging me about it.
The giant 4G LTE icon (We get it Verizon, it's your network)
The weird wifi icon spacing
The 5 bar signal bar (I don't get this one. Is this a new thing? Does any other phone on verizon do this?
The glitchy 5 bar drawable (There's a weird extra line in there for some reason.)
So I did a small edit to the SystemUI to fix those for me, and I figured you guys might like it too.
Go from this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To this:
Download the modded SystemUI flashable zip [4.2.2] here.
To install, just flash in Safestrap.
NEW Download the edit for 4.4 here. This is not a flashable zip. Since we don't have Safestrap for 4.4 just yet, check out how to apply it below:
----------------------------
Download the SystemUI and place it in a folder.
CD into that folder, and open a command line/terminal there. (If you don't have ADB in your path, you will have to put it where ADB is.)
Do the following (make sure you're in "recovery" mode so things stick)
Code:
adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
----------(this will enter you into a shell on the device)-----------
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app/
reboot recovery
UPDATES
(11/17) 1.01 - Fixed some unchanged images when you're on 3G/1X and wifi.
(11/26) 2.0 Added a 4.4 version (No Safestrap)
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR SYSTEMUI BEFORE REPLACING IT.
To-Do next - Remove mobile indicator on wifi.
Enjoy~

So, this should theoretically be possible on a locked MotoX, correct? Would you mind giving me the edits you made for removing the weird wifi spacing?
I assume to make the SystemUI edit, I would have to deodex my SystemUI.apk, correct?

This is already for locked bootloaders. Just flash in safestrap!
Also, funny story about the wifi spacing, I didn't actually edit anything but the images. Moto/VZ actually had too much space on the icon itself! Probably to make room for the 4GLTE icon. That too, was just a simple image edit/swap, and it fell right back where it was supposed to be. Weird that they did that. If they wanted their LTE icon that bad, they could have easily done it tastefully.

Wooooooooooooow. I can't believe they put space in the actual images. Stupid if you ask me. However, that doesn't make sense. Gravity Box has an option for using its built in icons. These icons still have the spacing issue.
What I'm asking is if I can use this to work on a LOCKED MotoX. Would I just need to deodex the SystemUI.apk?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by locked Moto X. I would assume deodexing the SystemUI would work. Also, related, does this image have the weird wifi spacing you're talking about?

No it does not.
Locked MotoX... you know... not the dev edition? I'm on stock ROM, rooted. Not using safestrap or anything.

Yeah that's what I thought you meant. I am also on a retail locked Moto X. Safestrap is MADE for our phones. Just head over to this thread, install it and you will have basically TWRP, ready to flash Safestrap-compatible ROMs and zip file mods.
If you'd rather though, you can just push the SystemUI to /system/app manually using ADB. If you know how, and would prefer that, you can use this code:
Code:
adb push SystemUI/apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
getprop ro.boot.write_protect
If this does not return a 0, you need to reboot into "recovery" to turn off write protect. Then
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app
reboot recovery
And that will do basically what the ZIP does.

That's what I'm saying--I don't want to use SafeStrap.

Is there any way to revert to stock after flashing this?

I'm no expert but I'm inclined to believe that the backup you made of the SystemUI.apk would be your back to stock option. You'd just have to push it to your phone or something like that.

How difficult would itnbe to port these to 4.4 (obviously in white and with no safestrap)? I'd really like to my get rid of Vzw's giant 4G icon.
Thanks

I may or may not have already
OP being updated soon. Make sure you let me know of any glitches you find.

you = awesome!
Just an FYI (you probably already know this), I was able to use Root Explorer and mount /system/priv-app/ as R/W and copy the apk there instead of using adb. After I copied it there I just did a reboot and it's "fixed" now.

Yep that's a way you can do it! Only reason I didn't say is cause when you mess with SystemUI, it might reboot your phone before you can get the new one in there. Glad it worked though!

Anyway to make this work for Sprint? I couldn't find anything regarding status bar mods via Systemui.apk for Sprint. Thanks!

How much would it take to make it say LTE instead of 4G? I also think I prefer the 4 bar signal instead of 5.
I'd be happy to do my own work I just don't know which/how many files to edit.

Alright check this out.All you gotta do is go into the SystemUI.apk, and search for any icon that says zz_moto_...._4g_lte and relpace it with the LTE logo from the normal files at the top. If you look for the icons without the zz_moto on the front that have a similar name, you'll find it. And to do the 4 bars, you have to either mess with XML files, or do it the "cheaty" way by renaming the 4bar drawables their 5-bar counterparts names. (zz_moto_stst_system_signal_5bar_)
