You could also search google for 'xda kernel repack'.
Unpack the initramfs, update the su and Superuser.apk, and repack the kernel.
Tada, no more su problems, and when it gets out of date, you can fix it yourself

Lol i think id rather flash the binary file seems easier lol no offense

Well does your phone have clockworkmod recovery? If it does then all you do is download that file put it on the root of your sd card then reboot into recovery and then flash it there then reboot the phone and that's it

I have the Samsung Exhibit 4G and Clockworkmod is not friendly with the Samsungs. Not sure if it would work. I have tried doing it the stock Samsung recovery and it gives me errors. It gives signature verification fail.
Thanks.

We have clockworkmod running on the Samsung Galaxy SG4 for some time now, though I don't know if anything like that is available for the Exhibit 4G.
The signature verification error is normal via standard 3E recovery. I know it can be toggled on/off within CWM though I'm not sure if/how with standard recovery.

Got it fixed.
ok. I got it fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Download and install the SuperUser Fixer. Force it to run.
2) Update to the newest SuperUser.
3) In the settings, update the SU binary from there.
Done and fixed.
Thanks.

Can't fix permissions completely

I'm really sorry if this is a repost but I searched for a while and never found a solution.
When I fix permissions in rom manager it hangs around 100. Tried 3 or 4 different ics rooms now and all do the same thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Seeing as how you've pretty much eliminated it being a specific ROM. I would try uninstalling rom manager. Reinstall. Then flash touch CWM again. idk that's what I would try.

Flashed cwm and reinstalled rom manager still hung up

Agreed you need to make sure busy box is installed
Sent from my SGS2 LTE

Sometimes roms already come with busybox installed. However, they need to be updated/reinstalled in order for fix permissions to work. Usually that does the job. If not, try reflashing the rom and make sure you follow the dev's instructions thoroughly.
If your rom comes with busybox. Go to your apps, there should be a busybox installer app in there. Click on it and click install

Hey, just a heads up.
I'm thinking you might want to work off of the stock MIUI build. Don't install the AOKP kernel. The UCVL8 kernel has everything except orientation working. No other bugs. Nothing. Zilch.
Contact me if you want any help.

[Q] Fix Permissions take long?

How long does fix permissions take to run in rom manager? Just flashed sky ice 4.2f and someone said to run fix permissions and its said just that for 30 min now.

I have about 50 apps and it takes about 1 minute and a bit.

thought that method didnt work plus sean specifically states to use rom manager and since its seans rom he should follow seans op.
the problem the op is having is he doesnt have busybox properly installed

I followed the steps, I installed busybox when I was supposed too.

I've had problems with fix permissions in RM, too. Read somewhere in XDA that it's different in CWM than in RM. I've used a script in Rom Toolbox Pro and it shows the same type of log I see in RM, but goes faster. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't RM's fp just a script anyway?

I had the same problem and it is a busybox problem. Go to the play store and type in busybox and download the one from the dev stericson I think its version 1.21 and install it. When I did that I had no more problems

If you've changed rom's and restored your apps from backups created while running other rom's, often that will screw everything up.
Try fresh installing all your apps from the Google Play store, or try deleting the app data and caches on whatever apps seem to be halting ROM Manager while fixing permissions.

Had the same issue of permission fix hanging forever, but Busybox install seemed to resolve it.
But my intend of fixing the permission was to get rid of the warning message that I get after a reboot:
"System UIDs Inconsistent"
This hasn't dissipated... any ideas?

Do a full wipe and install a fresh custom rom/stock rom... yeah that's a nice help.
I think I'll go suggest that to anybody having any problems in their Android phones.
It probably fixes their problem 9/10 times.

why do we not have an RUU ? What about radios and such ?

I got it downloaded and installed. It's a developer build and a little buggy.
It's a little bit of an improvement, but not perfect. Sense 3.6 is kind of annoying. It's intriguing how they have attempted to keep the look of sense 2.1. It feels like they've combined the worse of GB and ICS.
I'm looking forward to what the AOSP community will do with this.
Tapped out on an ICSed thunderbolt

id personally love an ruu. im really curious if there is a new hboot,and if ICS has changed some mount points,making the older firmware unuseable without mods,as it has with other devices.
im radio s-off,so if anyones got a full ruu pm me,ill flash it and keep it under my hat

I used superwipe but it still fcs. No big deal the devs will use what they need from it. For now I'm sticking with liquid ics.
