RootFW is a tool that helps Android Applications act as root. The only way for an application to perform tasks as root, is by executing shell commands as Android has no native way of doing this. However, due to different types of shell support on different devices/ROM's (Shell type, busybox/toolbox versions etc.), this is not an easy task. RootFW comes with a lot of pre-built methods to handle the most common tasks. Each method tries to support as many different environments as possible by implementing different approaches for each environment. This makes the work of app developers a lot easier.

Unlike other Root methods, RootFW does not reconnect/exit on each command. Once an instance has been created, the connection to the shell will stay open until the close() method is called. This means that you can execute as many commands as you like without the SuperUser Toast going crazy on the users screen.
