SuperSU is the favourite app for all those who love to root their devices and customise their devices as much as possible. All the Android device enthusiasts who have rooted their device at least once would have heard of the app named SuperSU which is primarily used for gaining root access for particular apps. Now, the developer behind SuperSU, Chainfire has announced that the SuperSU v2.82 SR1 has been released. Although, the SuperSU v2.8.2 has been released in BETA form and is not very stable for everyone to use.
However, Chainfire has posted the changes that have been introduced in the SuperSU v2.8.2 that “This update focuses primarily on changes introduced by the latest security patches to Nougat and O Preview”. Moreover, Chainfire says that there have been some minor changes to the ZIP that makes it compatible with the very latest firmware of some Huawei device. Also, the update includes Samsung devices running Android Nougat 7.0+ to automatically prevent the device from encrypting after boot.
