Here you guys have a SuperSU CWM flashable package that works on the CWM recoveries of the X8 - and will replace the default Superuser by ChainsDD
"su" goes into /system/xbin and "Superuser.apk" goes into /system/app
There's also an undo CWM ZIP attached that will restore ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary in case Chainfire's SuperSU doesn't work for you.
Tested to work on GingerDX v022 and v025 - try on other ROMs at your own risk.
EDIT:
- Link to the article on the XDA portal
- Link to Chainfire's SuperSU thread
- SuperSU for GingerDX on MediaFire
What exactly does it do?

It's a "better than Superuser" solution. I added the links to the article on XDA's portal as well as to Chainfire's SuperSU thread ... just have a look.
Thanks B.Jay!

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and try clearing the data cache of SuperSU.
I tried SuperSU on the cellphone of my step-daughter (GingerDX v022 on Alfs) and the only problem I have is that Titanium Backup gets stuck after obtaining super user privileges (already Allowed and Remembered).
All the other apps (Root Browser, "su" in the Terminal, ClockSync) work fine; no problems with Force Closes.
Root Explorer broken by this app on a Rezound running ICS. Uninstalling SuperSU breaks root (you might want to put a warning in it somewhere). And even after flashing your fix, and using Amon Ra to re-root (there is no CWM for Rezound), Superuser can't update its binary.
Got a fix? (Other than to reinstall before you do fix it?)
Thanks in advance. Might just have to restore last Nandroid.

The UNDO CWM ZIP actually spills back ChainDD's Superuser ...
EDIT: And with a Rezound you seem to be in the entirely wrong forum section.

This appears to be only thread for app on xda; and the app was touted on Lifehacker today (and the Market, uh, er, Play doesn't say it doesn't run on the Rezound).
My problem is that I can't update the binary since uninstalling SuperSU. How can that be? I get an error "Failed to download manifest. Check internet connection." (Regardless of whether on LTE or wifi).
Interested in your suggestions.

Well, if you can tell me into which directory the "su" binary is supposed to go I can create you a customized "undo" CWM ZIP.
The one attached above to the OP post copies "Superuser.apk" into /system/app (that much is the same on all Droids) and "su" into /system/xbin
If that matches with how it should be on the Rezound then simply flash the file - if "su" needs to be in /system/bin instead (or some other totally mind boggling location) tell me and I repack it for you.
On that note: There is a thread of Chainfire for SuperSU - this is just a repack of his CWM ZIP as it doesn't work on the X8
Chatted with my ROM developer who said "leave su & binary alone," so Nandroided back to pre-SuperSU and we seem to be okay.
I like the concept, just can't run (yet). Thanks anyway.

I have a problem with SuperSU. SetCPU and other apps that has an opption to "Set on Boot" does not work. I have to open the app for it to run.
Anybody tried it on MiniCM9 ?

Thanks bro. Works GREAT on GDX.
Does not work on cm9 naa. It lags and hangs and restarts. Not recommended for cm9.
Which is better and why?
First thanks for me by: fotak-x and stamatis 16, thanks for it
Nice good job
Hi guys i have a quick question about super user:
1- What's the difference between ChainsDD's Superuser and Chainfire's SuperSU?
2- Which one is better, more stable, and why?
3- I currently have ChainsDD's Superuser app installed as stated.in a thread here at XDA, but let's assume that i wanted to unistall the one i have and install Chainfire's SuperSU instead, how do i go about doing this?
Do i install it from the recovery just like i did whith my current one? And how do i even uninstall my current one?
--how do i uninstall the superuser app from my sensation 4g?--
Thanks in advanced
Hope anyone can help me here
Have a good one

for me SuperSu Better.
I believe the process for switching is install SuperSU, which will install a new, slightly different su binary. Once you have installed SuperSU (and maybe run it once), then you uninstall Superuser. If you want to switch back, install Superuser, let it change the su binary again, then uninstall SuperSU.
EDIT: And I don't know which is better, I have only used Superuser.
Hi guys I have tmous sensation 4g s-off, rooted, 4ext, unlocked.
I want to know if.its.possible to change my Superuser for SuperSU? And how?
Does.anyone have or knows a guide/tutorial on how to do this?
Also what is busybox? What is it for? Do I need it? Will it affect my stock Rom stability? Cause I see that titanium says its using its.own busybox.
Thanks in advanced.
Have a nice day every1.

Just install SuperSU and run it once. This will replace the Superuser su binary with the SuperSU su binary. Then you can remove Superuser if you wish.
As for busybox, a bunch of root apps require it, it basically adds a bunch of commands for their use. You can grab "Busybox Installer" from the Play Store to install it. Titanium Backup has it's own version built in. Other apps require you to have installed it. If you don't use anything requiring root other than TB, you don't need to worry about. Otherwise, I'd install it.
I am using HTC Desire X (Indian). Recently I updated my mobile to JB. Previously my mobile is rooted. Now in unrooted position. But after update also I am not able to uninstall superuser. How can I remove or uninstall superuser manually?

Use root explorer & grant super user permissions...then navigate to system/app/superuser.apk
Delete it....
Pls..note that u will loose root but wen u will install the same superuser manually then u can gain root back
Plz.z. Do press thanks

You can also remove it with aroma filemanager (a recovery file manager) to bypass HTC write protection
Not only Superuser.apk also /system/xbin/su and busybox files.

On my gnex I easily changed super user apps. I don't know if it's because I'm still on a TW rom or the way the device is exploited it's not able to or a different process to change the app? Everyone uses supersu by chainfire but I would like to change it to superuser by clockworkmod. I've tried the uninstall for changing apps but I just lose root access.

Keep supersu installed, download superuser app of choice, update binaries of said app, then uninstall supersu. Worked for me.
