[android-developers] Re: Root permission for application

I too am interested in running an application as ROOT. I am using
libusb and the setup requires writing to usb_set_configuration, which
is not permitted unless run from a C application as root (eg. I cannot
use JNI in my app to configure USB-host).

Please keep posted.
