Question: What Root Access Manager should I use? #62

Hey, thank you so much for providing GApps and root support in WSA so early in the game. We are really grateful.

I wonder, is there a way to use a Root manager app so we can use root outside the ADB shell. I tried SuperSU by Chainfire and it says Supersu: SU binary occupied.

If it is not possible to use the root access manager app, how can I grant certain apps, root access via ADB?

Why not use Magisk: https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA

I will be reinstalling WSA for that. Sure, it is possible and convenient, but looking for some SU apps that I can use without losing my currently installed apps on WSA.

(Maybe I will just use ADB backup, welp :/)

just simply replace img files

Also, just as a side note, without a root manager all apps are automatically granted su rights when requested. You may test this behaviour with any root checker or other root apps. While this may be unsafe, you'll be fine as long as you only install trusted apps.

Of course. KernelSU is written (modified) by me and it's just for testing...

SuperSU doesn't work with ~~Windows~~Android 11, sadly

Which img files do I replace?

Edit: Figured it out! Download the artifact and replace the product, system, system_ext, and vendor images. Then replace the kernel (if you rooted it with kernel).
