Chainfire has updated SuperSU yet again in the wake of still more SELinux changes in Android Nougat. The developer has shared a flashable zip for the updated superuser management tool and there are beta versions of SuperSU available on XDA Developers for the more adventurous.See also:15 best root apps for AndroidOctober 26, 2016There’s a bunch of technical changes going on in the updated version, but the broad strokes version is that SuperSU runs in its own context now, reducing the likelihood of conflicts, and it no longer modifies a contexts bin file that previously caused issues on some firmware. The TWRP incompatibility issue on the Google Pixel has also been fixed.Like Nougat itself, SuperSU has been retooled to get up and running much faster when booting, especially on app-heavy devices. Note that this speed increase will be most noticeable on devices running firmware based on Nougat code, but Chainfire notes older Android versions are still improved.Here’s the full changelog if you’re that way inclined:Expand Samsung detectionGUI: Reworked portions to work with ‘supersu’ context on 7.0+GUI: Fix binary update notice when superuser disabled by user in some casessu: Reworked portions to work with ‘supersu’ context on 7.0+su/GUI: Improve responsiveness when device busy on 7.0+sukernel: Fix cpio restore failure with very short filenamessukernel: No longer patches file_contexts(.bin)sukernel: Revert force seclabel (no longer needed with ‘supersu’ context)supolicy: Add -create-, -auditallow-, -auditdeny- policy commandssupolicy: Support “*” for permission/range parameter of -allow-, -deny-, -auditallow-, -auditdeny-, -allowxperm- policy commandssupolicy: Reworked all SELinux rules for 7.0+, run as ‘supersu’ contextZIP: Separate slotselect and system_root logicZIP: Adjust system/system_root device and mount-point detectionZIP: Fix minor errors in documentationZIP/frp: Explicitly label /suTo download SuperSU v2.79-SR1 hit the button below and if you need some instructions on flashing it, head on over to Chainfire’s site for the full how to.DOWNLOAD SUPERSU v2.79-SR1
