Introduction

How to get rid of Kinguser from Android and replace with the SuperSU app

For many people who have successfully acquired root access on their Android device, you would have used a particular tool or method, as each Android device is different a number of different tools and files exist for different phones & tablets.

In my last tutorial I covered a range of universal tools for a huge number of Android devices, one such tool was Kingroot which works great on non-mainstream devices which previously were un-rootable.

Many users, however, are frustrated that after using Kingroot they are left with an app called Kinguser and a bunch of other applications, while these do work the same way as the traditional SuperSU many people would like to remove Kinguser and instead use SuperSU.

Kinguser and other associated applications are often in another language and generally difficult to remove, thus many power users would like to get rid of these and install Chainfire’s SuperSU application. This can be done using the following steps:

Once done you should receive a confirmation of success, now just go to your app menu and find SuperSU and open it.

Once launched you will be prompted to update the “SU binaries” and then just press normal on the next screen to install the remaining files.
