Rename su binary to fool Google's Android Market

[biafrarepublic]

As is known, Google is blocking Android Market videos on rooted devices by checking for any files named 'su'. A workaround exists, but using it requires one to effectively unroot their device by renaming su to another name. Is it possible to for SuperUser to be able to use a different name for it's 'su' binary and call that each time SuperUser needs to?

That won'y work since it's not Superuser.apk that calls su, it's the app that requests root permissions. Renaming the su binary would mean that every app that needs root would have to be modified to call the new binary instead of the old.

Then maybe add a "movie mode" disabling root tempoarily? I'm sure all the americans who wants to rent movies, would like that :)
