SuperSU is a discontinued proprietary Android application that can keep track of the root permissions of apps, after the Android device has been
rooted.
[2]
[3] SuperSU is generally installed through a custom recovery such as
TWRP.
[4] SuperSU includes the option to undo the rooting.
[5] SuperSU cannot always reliably hide the rooting.
[6] The project includes a
wrapper library written in
Java called libsuperuser
for different ways of calling the
su binary.
[7]
Since 2012, SuperSU app is all maintained by the original author Chainfire himself. [8]
In 2014, support for Android 5.0 was added. [9]
In September 2015, SuperSU was acquired by a Chinese company called Coding Code Mobile Technology LLC (CCMT), raising concerns about privacy, but Chainfire promised he would closely auditing the changes that CCMT made. [10]
In 2018, the application was removed from the Google Play Store [11] and the original developer Chainfire announced their departure of SuperSU development, although others continue to maintain it. [12] As of 2018, many users already switched to Magisk. [13]
