Aliendalvik Superuser
OOnly for Jolla 1, not work on Jolla C or Intex Aqua Fish or any other device
Superuser is the app that manages what apps on your rooted device have access
to su. Apps that are granted su have elevated permissions and can modify just
about any part of the system. The app was originally written by zinx, and I
took it and made it much more useable. The app consists of two parts,
Superuser.apk and the su binary.
Superuser.apk runs as any other app and gives you, the user, a place to see
what apps you have allowed or denied, as well as view a log of what apps have
used su when.
The su binary is what other apps call when they need superuser rights. The
binary checks the database maintained by Superuser.apk to determine if you have
already granted rights to the requesting app. You must set "Preferences --> Security --> Multi-user mode" to "User controlled" to allow the Superuser.apk to manage Android apps (which request superuser rights) properly. (https://openrepos.net/comment/14796#comment-14796)
Package contains Superuser apk and binary. Removing from launcher does not
remove su binary, you should uninstall package for full uninstallation.
This package obsoletes aliendalvik superuser binary package (https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/aliendalvik-superuser-binary)
Donations are welcome =)

As some people seem to have trouble properly installing and configuring Aliendalvik Superuser, here a quick guide:
@coderus: Many thanks for Aliendalvik Superuser, this is really excellent work.
And packaging Superuser v3.3 by Dave Chen for SailfishOS / AlienDalvik seems to have been a good choice in terms of quality, reliability and security.
Please also take a look at https://together.jolla.com/question/48038/aliendalvik-show-root-privileg... for screenshots illustrating Superuser's detailed settings as described in https://openrepos.net/comment/14795#comment-14795

As the original suggestion to set Preferences --> Security --> Automatic response to Allow in the Superuser app allows any Android app to gain superuser rights (via the su binary) without user interaction, thus creating a security nightmare on your SailfishOS device, do set Preferences --> Security --> Multi-user mode to User controlled and leave / set --> Automatic response on its default, i.e. Prompt.
Furthermore, these settings reveal the full functionality of the superuser app, including application management and application specific logs.

It seems that it's not working on the Jolla C. Is it something that you can (+ want) do?
Thanks.

I had the same problems after 2.0.0.10 Upgrade.
My solution was:
1. Uninstall Coderus Aliendalvik SuperUser Package from Warehouse
2. Delete all su binaries ans symlinks from /opt/aliendalvik/system/bin /usr/bin etc.
3. Install Coderus Aliendalvik SuperUser Package from Warehouse
4. In the SuperUser App go to the Settings and Allow Automatic Response on su Access.

Hi coderus, i am getting this error when running "adaway" android app. Similar error with "orbot".
Seems like the apps don't recognize the su binary. I installed your app via warehouse and set it to "always allow" like mentioned above.
The screenshot translates to:
Need rooted Android
-----------------------------------
Whether the su-binary counld not be found or you didn't give root permissions to adaway.
This counld happen if you didn't root your device. Information on how to root your device can be found on ... or other android websites.

i see links named 'su' in both locations pointing to /usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary
should i delete the links and copy the binary itself to these locations?

i removed the symbolic links from
'/opt/alien/system/bin' and '/opt/alien/system/xbin'
as you said and copied the binary from /usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary to
'/opt/alien/system/bin/su' and '/opt/alien/system/xbin/su'
permissions are set to read for all, write for root(owner) and execute for all
it still doesn't work :(
(i also tried to install busybox from aptoide store but it says basically the same thing, the su binary could not be found or the device is not rooted properly...)
EDIT: also tried this: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6988 but didn't work
EDIT2: I deleted the 2 su copies and uninstalled/reinstalled the whole aliendalvik-superuser. Then i installed android app "root checker" and everthing seems to be ok. After that i was able to install busybox. But still no success with adaway and orbot...
EDIT3: i found your twitter conversation (https://twitter.com/iCODeRUS/status/478439673988386816) and realized that the adaway version in aptoide store is only 2.2 ! So i downloaded the most recent version of adaway (2.9.2) from f-droid store and it works!
>>Now the only problem seems to be orbot which needs root access for transparent proxying through tor. ( I have the most recent version 14.0.8.1 ).

How to install this su binary rpm file on my android phone? I have been unable to find anything that even says what an rpm file is.

I managed to install su binary on my nexus 5. Installed kernel manager but it says no root. Superuser app sees su binary. Probably some permissions problem. When it will work i'll make rpm for nexus 4 & 5 devices. I think it will work on any android device :)
