Setcpu is denied superuser access everytime I open the app. Opening superuser allows me to see that it's been denied in the "log" tab, but doesn't allow me to force superuser to grant access. It doesn't show up as denied in the "apps" tab, or at all for that matter in that tab. Is there a way to force superuser to grant access to setcpu? Any suggestions on how to get superuser access granted to setcpu would be appreciated. BTW, I'm running tweaked 2.2, 0524 pbj, solidICS theme.
Does clearing data from superuser work?
You have one of two things set. Either you told Superuser to deny all apps that request root, or you told Superuser to always deny SetCPU. Make sure that you have it set to prompt when root is requested, and that you don't have anything stored for SetCPU for auto-allow/deny.

Did that, unfortunately superuser is denying access to everything now. I rooted and that didn't fix it, still denies everything.

I have superuser set up to prompt on request. I just downloaded setcpu today and have not been able to get it to allow access in any way. Superuser hasn't given me the ability to auto-allow or deny setcpu. It only displays in the log tab, which doesn't allow me to click on it and dig deeper like it would if it were in the apps tab.
Got it to work for setcpu and everything else that was being deny after clearing superuser data. I reinstalled superuser from the zip in recovery and now it's allowing superuser access as it should. Thanks for the the suggestions.
I had fixed this but uninstalling and reinstalling the update from the market.

Or what is the exact mechanism behind this in Android? I have been using GNU/Linux for many years so I understand the original concept and would not want every app to have root privileges.
The Superuser app allows you to accept & deny all root apps. You can also choose to always allow certain apps, but you don't have to.
I don't quite understand this. Who gives the apps the privileges. I suppose the Superuser app is only the frontend for some system service. And does it work as a white list or as a black list. Meaning: Does every app get root priviliges by default on a rooted phone or do I have to manually give root privileges to desired apps but the rest doesn't even realize it's on a rooted phone.
By default, apps are denied root privileges. If I restore an app that runs as root in the background -along with its data - the app won't work until I launch it & grant it superuser permissions. Droidwall is a good example of this. Droidwall works by denying or allowing 3g and/or wifi access to apps based on your input. It does this by changing the iptables. If I flash a new ROM & restore with Titanium Backup, I usually forget that Droidwall isn't doing its job until I notice ads in an app that isn't supposed to connect. Once the app is launched & I choose to apply the rules, Superuser prompts me to allow the changes. If I do not make a choice within 10 seconds, SU automatically denies the root request.
In short, an app will never run as root (aside from superuser itself, if that counts) without you first allowing it. Also be aware that most everyday apps will never ask for root access as they don't need it to run. Only apps that are making changes to the system (reading or writing) will need root access. As far as accessing your contact data & other stuff you may worry about, any app can do that if it has permission (not root) to do so. When you first install an app, you will see a list of permissions - usually an app needs those permissions to run and there's nothing to worry about.
OK, thanks I understand it more now. What would happen if I didn't install Superuser. Is there a built in daemon for superuser privileges?
Don't fight the powers that be. Install superuser. You need it.
I'm pretty sure you'll get error messages from most root apps. I could be wrong, though. Next time I'm about to flash a new ROM, I'll remove Superuser after I do my backup, just because I'm curious. I'm pretty sure that Superuser or an alternative - if one exists - is necessary. I know the ability is there in the os, but I would think that it would need some kind of vehicle (such as an app) to relay the information. I certainly hope apps wouldn't automatically be granted root privileges, but I'm not sure. It's an interesting question, though.
Roms come pre-loaded with Superuser, and any auto-root method does as well. You would only be without it if you root manually, stay on stock, and choose not to push the app. Or, I guess, if you choose to remove it.
Hi, I just root my phoneabout a couple minutes ago. I have the superuser icons ib my All Apps screen. However when I open the superuser, there's not any apps on there. Is this normal? Am I rooted?
Thanks for the quick reply!
There aren't any apps listed in there because you probably haven't given or denied root access for any programs yet. Install any app that needs root, run it, it should ask for root access. When you give or deny it, it will show up in the superuser list.

You will probably need to root your device again. If titanium backup cannot access root then your not rooted. Just to be safe, GO to goolge play and download a root checker. Run the root checker, it will verify root or not.
Otherwise, use HTCsupertool to root your device.
Superuser permissions
There aren't any apps listed in in super user. When I try to install any app that needs root, it super user not asking for root access.
Please help.

Did you try any other super app. Remove the one you have and try another.
Hey guys,
This is the wrong place forum, but I like you guys, so I will ask you a question
Say there is an app that requires root (in this case Cisco AnyConnect rooted version), but I do not want to have root access enabled from within Android OS. Is there a way to install the app with automatic root access? E.g. by flashing it from within the recovery?
Thanks,
Su
Do it need root access or system permissions ?
If it needs root, you must have "su" in android OS.
If it needs system permisssions, you could push it in /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/ (more access than /system/app/)
Hmm, from the description, it seems like root access... ah well, from the CM11 SuperUser settings, seems like it is possible to automatically deny root access to all requests, and only allow selected apps.
Perhaps this is a better way to set up the device...

every app that wants SU permission should be prompting you the first time to allow or deny it.
if any app gets SU permission without you allowing it, something is wrong.
what i dont understand is, you said the phone is NOT rooted, then mentioned cm11. if you are running cm11, your phone is already rooted.
I have a certain app that I need to use that will not run on a rooted device. My root app is SuperSU, and by disabling superuser in the settings the app will run, but I can't make it work without disabling it. It doesn't even give me a prompt to ask for root permission - the app must just be looking somewhere for the su binary or something.
Is there a way to make an app think that a device is unrooted without disabling root access?

Xposed framework with Root Cloak module. It doesn't always work, but it often does, so give that a try.
Hi,
All other apps that require root seem to request it - NoFrills CPU doesn't and consequently offers me no option other than to close the app. Just says "...Root access requires..." - without the usual dialogue affording me the chance to grant it.
Anyone else seen this?
Trying to get a little more life out of my Galaxy S6 by trying a few tweaks.
Thanks...

Go into the super user app and see if it shows up there. If it does, grant it root from there.

I did not say there was any.
I only asked to go inside the app and see if no frills is there with a root denied entry.
Maybe you can set default access to granted. This means that any app will get root access without asking you for permission.

thanks, but tried that too - so all apps requiring root are granted it automatically....still asks for root when I start it up.
I did try another app that required root access (can't recall what it was though) and it said that SU wasn't in the expected directory???
Is that any help?

It may cause the problem. How did you root?
By the way, why don't you simply try another app. Kernel adiutor for example. It does the same stuff as no frills, maybe it does it even better.

Flashed CF-Root
Yeah you're right, using CPU Tuner, seems to do the job. Also installed Xposed and using Amplify with Greenify and I have to say I have noticed a MASSIVE difference already today
Thanks for your feedback as ever!
magisk killed no frills cpu
