Superuser Permissions keep popping up

[Guest LadFromWales]

Having just installed JG5 and RC3, together with Mimocan's kernel, placing /data/data in /disk/data.

Every time my phone starts up, it'll ask if Titanium Backup can have superuser. If I look at the permissions list, I can see the apps I've allowed. But, every time I run them, it prompts. This happens when any app wants su.

Is this a known issue with the above combo? Is there a fix? :(

EDIT: It happens every time an app wants su, even within the same session. ie in ROM Manager, I click Fix Permissions, it asks for su, I grant it, let it complete, click Fix Permissions again, and it asks again!

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Not much help here, but I seem to recall this being a problem reported by several people with MCR r3 over in the thread for MCR. I don't recall anyone having a fix, but you might scan that thread if you haven't already.

Random suggestions I'd throw out would be:

Try running the update.zip that roots your phone.

Reinstall busybox (find a busybox installer in the Market, or get Titanium Backup from Market and click the "got problems" option - it will install busybox latest.

Fix permissions (I think MCR has an ASE script for that put onto your sdcard.

No idea if those will fix it, but they won't hurt your phone to try, either. Let us know if any of them work.

I install update.zip that root normal rom and it worked. No problem after that in superuser or a new one by incompatibility.

If it's what I think it is it's a really simple fix - open up the superuser application, go to preferences and change the notification option to toast, by default no option is selected which makes it bug out and spam notifications.

Not for me :-(

Ive been in to preferences>Notification and tried None and Toast but the prompts still keep popping up for Titanium Backup every time I run the app.

Pls Help!

Same BS here ... toas didn't help. Superuser drives me crazy ! asks the same question time and time again even during the same session (i.e rebooting)

Brilliant!! Thank you so much, Ive just tried it and now I no longer get those annoying prompts :-)

Just one question, do you know if its safe to install the latest version of busybox on this one? And also what does busybox do anyway?

Cheers
