* Superuser should also be AOSP buildable for those that want to embed it in their ROM.
* Superuser should also be AOSP _embeddable_, meaning a ROM can easily embed it into their Settings app.
* Maintenance and updates on both the market and source repositories should be timely.
-* I want to be able to point users of my app to a Superuser solution that I wrote, that I know works, and that I can fix if something is wrong. Yes, this is selfish: Carbon does not work with some versions of Chainsdd's Superuser. SuperSU works great, but I am not comfortable pointing a user to a closed source su implementation.

+## Translations
+
+Translations are very much appreciated, but please do not submit translations on Github! Instead, use the review submission process on [CyanogenMod's gerrit instance](http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:open,n,z).
+
+
+
## Checking out the source
You'll need the "Widgets" dependency.
These repositories do not keep the actual projects in the top level directory.
This is because they contain tests, libs, and samples.
+Make sure the SDK Platform for API 19 is installed, through the Android SDK Manager. Install NDK Revision 9b from [here](http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html).
+
## Eclipse
In Eclipse, import Widgets/Widgets and Superuser/Superuser. It should Just Work (TM).
## Ant
-Same old, same old.
-
* $ mkdir /path/to/src
* $ cd /path/to/src
* $ cd Superuser/Superuser
+
+In this directory, create a file called local.properties. This file is used by ant for custom properties. You need to specify the location of the ndk directory and your keystore parameters:
+
+```
+ndk.dir=/Users/koush/src/android-ndk
+key.store=/Users/koush/.keystore
+key.alias=mykey
+```
+
+If you do not have a release key yet, [create one using keytool](http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html).
+
+Set up your SDK path (this is the directory containing platform-tools/, tools/, etc.):
+
+* $ export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/koush/src/sdk
+
+Then you can build:
+
* $ ant release
Outputs:
* bin/update.zip - Recovery installable zip
-* bin/Superuser.apk - Superuser Android app
+* bin/Superuser-release.apk - Superuser Android app
* libs/armeabi/su - ARM su binary
* libs/x86/su - x86 su binary
+* libs/mips/su - MIPS su binary
## Building the su binary
+You can use ant as shown above, to build the binary, but it can also be built without building the APK.
+
Make sure you have the android-ndk downloaded with the tool "ndk-build" in your path.
* $ cd /path/to/src/
#### Advanced - Embedding Superuser into System Settings
You will not need to change the package name as described above. Superuser will simply go
-into the com.android.settings package. To modify the Settings app, you will need this [patch](https://gist.github.com/koush/5059098).
-The patch simply references the sources checked out to external/koush and makes changes
-to XML preference files and the AndroidManifest.xml. It is a very minimal change:
