Just a question - after installing Sui, can I delete the SU binary to avoid detection? #25

Hey @RikkaW thanks for such amazing project. Everything works perfectly on my device. Just a question, can I delete the SU binary to avoid detection? Many apps trying to detect root by executing "which su" command - and instead of renaming it I would like to delete the executable entirely to avoid detection.

What do you think?

Yes you can, but detecting root is far more than check if "su" exists.

In avoiding the detection side, the biggest advantage of Sui is it does not require a manager app (there are already apps that can detect hidden Magisk app) and "su" binary. This is one part of avoiding detection, not the whole.
