The "su binary needs to be upgraded" misses instructions what's supposed to happen #288

At some point when starting the application a dialog requesting the su binary to be upgraded (text in the title is translated) will be displayed. One has the choice to choose "Recovery" or to abort. It is unclear what's supposed to happen after choosing recovery. The system reboots into recovery mode where I guess a file has to be installed. The steps in recovery mode should be explained to the user in the dialog.

experienced with 1.0.3.0 on Cyanogenmod 13

This app won't work on newer android version, because of selinux restrictions. But there are some forks, which can bypass selinux. Cyanogenmod has Superuser included in the rom already. If you use lineage, just flash the su-addon file from here: https://download.lineageos.org/extras

The su-addon file is a flashable zip. It has to be installed in recovery mode. Install it with TWRP or CWM
