Android Root, Force any app to run as root? - xMoD - Sep 21, 2014
In the process of writing a script for SL4A (python), and I need root access.
I wasnt sure how I would do this, and I was already having trouble using python in the first place!
Now I have it working but I need root.
Note: I cant run python from shell, with just python.
I have to use QPython or something, as it doesnt work without.

Root your android phone? What model do you have??????
* - Centuries - Sep 21, 2014
Yes Yoit root.
Op - you musts make the app be granted by a super useraccount or program such as SuperSU
Also the fact it won't read python execpt in another app is because a phone is a computer, reads only 0's and 1's you will need a way in your code for the phone to convert the python so the phone can read it.

I have my tablet rooted sillys...
And I have supersu.
What I was asking was how can a give root to an app that DOESNT ask for it.
Like an app on windows, if it doesnt ask u can just right click > run as admin :P
MORE IMPORTANT
Instead how can I run su from a shell script ON ANDROID.
I tried putting su at top of script, but it said permission denied.
And even if im already running as root.
If u dont understand its okay, just dont reply I have other options

Maybe you can move it to system/app folder

Alright, ill see.
Also, I have a better idea.
Shell script to out nmaps output to file.
Python to parse and get ips.
But still having some issues with writing and such with the scripts... ill try a few things.
Also, what about any directories where I would have read/write perms to??
I have partially solved this.
I just run nmap from an .sh script.
Which was hard enough, but I found where I can sort of write to afile.
So i directed output to file.
Then I use python to read from that file. (As I can read without root and such so its fine atm)
Then get all ips from it and contiue with the leet haxing.
:D
