  It means you have either Superuser or SuperSu. This is just another superuser app but this is open source and adds some nice features that aren’t in the others and has a nice UI

what it means is you dont get the option to grant or deny if you are not a governing authority power user , so you can give it to the kids and allow them their access and not install some bogus software that requires Su access

I recently purchased an i10a-LE (Impression) Tablet. The only reason I bought it was it was inexpensive, and had a 9.7″ screen. I later found that it has an Nvidia dual core processor, and 1G ddr3 ram. It could do little other than the few “Market apps” which it came with…Your root program has opened-up EVERYTHING! Not to mention the performance!
Thank you!….thank you!
