i want to switch from super user to super su. Just because i think it looks better with ics. So what i did was download super user from play store, and open it. I granted it access and let it update its binary. Now super su grants all my apps access. So the next logical step i thought would be to uninstall the regular super user. but i cant find it in titanium backup? (i search for superuser, super, user and neither super su nor superuser come up)
Also once i manage to get the regular superuser removed i would have to move the super su to system apps via titanium right?
You ever come right with this bud? Also can't remove superuser app from foxhound Rom. Deleted it from system/app using root explorer but it comes back after reboot.

1. Install SuperSu from Play and update binaries. Make sure it achieves root.
2. Delete Superuser.apk from system/app using a root file manager.
3. Install Superuser from Play.
4. Uninstall Superuser thru Play.
5. Reboot phone.
No more Superuser and SuperSU should retain root functionality.
cheers mate. Updated to the latest foxhound and superuser went away. Having this issue on a buddies phone so will try your method this weekend and give feedback.
Appreciate the response.

Hey Guys,
Got my Thunderbolt rooted and s-off. Running decent... But I have a few problems with bugs/wondering if there were any known fixes...
1: CWM is having problems... as in picky about when it wants to reboot... etc... should I just wait for a new flash?
2: I liked usinig Andguard on my droid... but it seems after rooting/s-off my thunderbolt and installing Superuser/CWM, I cannot use Andguard...It states it does not have SU permission and to check root or Busybox... help?
Best!
Thanks to the DEVs working hard on this!
Are other apps that require root working for you? Like maybe Titanium Backup, or Root Explorer? Heck, there's a free app called Root Checker you can download to test.
It sounds to me like you have issues with your su, superuser installation. Did you download and install SuperUser.apk from the Market? Does it give you a pop-up asking permission when you run your app? If you open SuperUser app, is the app listed as having permission allowed?
If all of that is yes, then try installing a new version of busybox. There's a busybox installer app on the Market, or you can use Titanium Backups "Problems?" button to download a copy.
Let me know if that helps out.
I rooted my P500 (2.3.3) moths agoo and installed Superuser, it worked correct with Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer etc.
Now Superuser does not work correct anymore. Everything seems normal, apps do ask for rootrights and when Superuser prompt with the question for rootrights it looks normal (even in the Superuser logfile) BUT all applications wich asked for root don't work anymore.
I tried to remove Superuser but it is a "system app", for that I need rootrights ..... so I even cannot browse to the /system/app folder.
Is there a way to uninstall Superuser without totally wipe my phone?
Thanx for thinking with me.

I was successfully rooted and decided i wanted to go back to stock, so i unrooted. I never altered the ROM, just wanted root for the purpose of Hotspot. However, now that i went back to stock, superuser is still showing in my apps and will not delete no matter what methods i try. I did a factory reset and it did not help. I cannot even get my phone to Re-root or do any over the air updates. I am stuck. My phone works perfectly but i would like to update my software AND remove the superuser app. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
same thing happened to me try fixing the root then delete superuser.apk in Root Explorer.
AW: [Q] HELP!!!! Cant get back to stock or reroot!
First uninstall the SU Updates
Delete Superuser out of System/Apps
Install Superuser as usual App
Delete SU in System/Bin
Uninstall Superuser over Play Store

hsd-pilot, i uninstalled the updates. Went to sys/apps but it will not delete because it says file is read only.
If your using Root Explorer there should be a button top right where you can change the permissions for that folder unsetting the read only
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.
After a complex process to repair my bricked S3 (4.4.2), I rooted the phone with Towelroot (confirmed its rooted) and installed Superuser from the Play store.
I was of the understanding that when Superuser is installed from the Play Store that the binary upgrade is not necessary. However, I have seen no indication that Superuser is working. I explored the system/bin and system/app files with ESExplorer and I got no request from Superuser to allow root access. (there are not Superuser files either location)
I also explored the files with TitaniumBackup Pro and again not peep out of Superuser.
I went ahead and tried the binary update and it fails.
I thought I'd ask for help here before I uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU (I noticed Superuser has been updated since July 2012). At this point I believe uninstalling Superuser would be successful because it is a Play Store install.
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated. As you can tell I'm a novice at this.
NOTE: Just noticed that there are not entries in the Superuser log.
Try rooting with cf-root

Thank you for the recommendation, however, I just went ahead and uninstalled Superuser and installed SuperSU. SuperSU appears to work and is managing root access as it should.
I probably would not have gone the uninstall method with Superuser, however, I installed it from the Play Store and the Play Store installation is reportedly easy to uninstall because it does not put files in system/app or system/bin......at least I read that somewhere and I checked these locations and there were no Superuser files there.
Thanks again.
Superuser is located on /system/app
su is on /system/xbin
