lol, I actually just did this and wow it does hide SuperSU from EVERYTHING.
DO NOT THANK ME, thank Chainfire. This is taken straight from the OP for SuperSU under the Jan. 1st update.
Download Terminal Emulator then:

Close Terminal Emulator then open it and type "su" then hit enter. Terminal needs root permissions before running the command in my previous post. Many commands that are input into Terminal need su granted first.

[GUIDE] Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto
Credits

Jack Palevich and Koush for their apps, especially Jack Palevich. This would not be possible without the shared permissions on his app's data directory.

Pretty cool. I'd try it if I weren't already rooted. Thanks for sharing this.
Questions though, does this permanently root or temporarily root? And how can you unroot from this method?

[GUIDE] Internal sdcard not writable? Fix..

Recently many users have been having issues with their internal sdcard not being writable, either due to flashing AOSP and then touchwiz or other reasons. This little guide will help you fix this issue.
Notes-
1. Read all the steps before attempting this
2. I have used this method to successfully fix my sdcard and make it usable
Prerequisites-
1. You will need root
2. You will need terminal emulator on your phone
3. You will need some reading skills and glasses if your eyes are weak..
Steps-
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type "su"
Your screen should look like this
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
3. Now type this command, "restorecon -v -R /data/media"
Your screen should look like this now
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
4. Now you can use your internal sdcard without any issues

And superuser permission granted?
Android - flash, root a enjoy

Possibly the op should consider editing to advise that this solution, like others requires root.

Worked like a charm. Thanks man. Swiftkey had language pack problem but this solved that also.

Many many many THANKS ...
I was getting crazy because of this problem..
You saved me from a big headache
BTW..
I can confirm you that i flashed an AOSP rom (carbon) on my Note 3 ..
After that i have flashed the x-note, and no write permissions for the sdcard (very strange.. no permissions only for the 3rd part explorers..TW file explorer worked instead..)
Is that possible to know the reason of this problem?

[UPDATED for 5.0+ roms 1-29-15]Turn off power saver icon via terminal

Here is the new way to disable powersaver icon without using xposed as now we r s-off unlocked on All sense Lollipop builds.
Download Android terminal emulator in play store
Open terminal
Type su to grant super user
Next type the command below
pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver
Make sure to use capital letters where I did
Also I did it with powersaver turned off then after I disabled it I turned on powersaver. Icon will be gone.
If this helped you please hit the thanks button.
Thanks to @DucatiMon for testing on different Roms.
Screenshots r from KitKat. Will update those asap.

I was waiting till the system was rewrite before I posted how to turn on power saver but since it's out there already I can share this.
In terminal type su
This next part is case sensitive
pm disable com.htcpowermanager/powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver
Then reboot. It will work for sure when system is rewrite so it might work now for those you used app to turn on power saver.
