Hi, Happy it worked OK in the end for you. It was better to make the video to show it will root the ...

I wouldn't expect it would finally work after so many retries if I didn't watch the video. What I noticed is there were more than 2.5 GB of logs after once the rooting was done. I forgot to check the logs' files timestamps before deleting the files so I am not 100% sure if those logs are the consequence of the rooting process - but I am pretty sure they are.

Here you are how I tweaked Button Savior soft keys - you can see them at the bottom-center of screen. There are separate settings for the triggering icon/area and the position/layout of the buttons so it is possible to trigger the soft keys at the right edge and to show them at the bottom. What I did is to set swipe triggering and noticed there is a bug so the icons can be triggered by just positioning the mouse pointer inside the triggering area - which is (at least for me) even better than having to swipe.

However, I still didn't find any way to show running programs. Button Savior has the option to use its or Android's native task manager but the rectangle button doesn't work (it worked only once!!). What is interesting is I once before did something with the mouse and currently running programs showed in the small windows but I can't reproduce that again :-/ Alt-TAB just opens the shortcuts to the recently used programs but that is something else (not currently running program).

BTW, now the device is rooted I could check the other Button Savior version requiring root access but I didn't notice any difference between root and non-root versions.

Isnt it rooted already? I think many devices come pre-rooted already when you get it. Can you check if it is rooted? you could run AVG scan and it could say if rooted that your device runs in privileged mode.

I use a lot of applications and all say I'm not root

gaara

you can use supersu to be root with your apps

ivanelbigfoot

Negative, I used too, and nothing.

gaara

Normally you start first supersu, and after you start your app. Then if your app need to be root, supersu detect it, and ask if you give the permission to the app the be root. (for 15 min, or for always)
It works for me for all the apps need to be root.

Supersu I know how it works , but you can not install the binaries , I think You have not tester rooting Orange Pi.
