📱 XSU Detector – Root Detection Android App

XSU Detector is a simple Android app that detects whether a device is rooted and informs the user. It also sends a boot-time notification so users can quickly check root status after restarting their device.

🔧 Features

  • ✅ Detects if the device is rooted
  • 🔒 Shows warning and exits if rooted
  • ✅ Confirms safety if device is not rooted
  • 🔔 Displays a notification after device boots
  • 🔐 Requests notification permission on Android 13+ (API 33+)

🚀 How It Works

1. Root Detection (MainActivity.java)

When XSU Detector launches:

  • It performs 3 checks:
    • Looks for the su binary in common system directories.
    • Attempts to execute the su command.
    • Searches for known root apps (e.g. Magisk, SuperSU).

Decision:

  • 📛 If rooted → shows a warning and closes the app.
  • ✅ If not rooted → shows a safe-to-use confirmation dialog.

2. Request Notification Permission

For Android 13+ (API 33 and above), XSU Detector requests the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission at runtime, which is needed to show notifications.

3. Boot Broadcast Receiver (BootReceiver.java)

After a device restarts:

  • XSU Detector listens for the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast.
  • When received:
    • It shows a notification: “Tap to check root status.”
    • Tapping the notification launches the app.
