KingRoot's Superuser, while effective at its main purpose, is throwing up adware lockscreens. I'd like to replace it with SuperSU but have had difficulty finding instructions detailed enough for my low level of knowledge.

Okay so I've used this method dozens of times and it works 99% of the time. The only time I haven't had it work was for a Verizon HTC One M8, since Kingroot only gives (at least at the time) temproot it took a few tries to get it working properly. I give all credit to w0lfdroid to finding it, and the original guide can be found here -to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

If neither of these methods work there is a paid app in Play Store called Super-SuMe that's supposed to be specifically made for removing Kingroot and installing SuperSU, although despite purchasing it multiple times I have never once had anything happen besides either a reboot, force close, or the app hangs.

Whether it is "Kingroot" or "Kingo Superuser" you are trying to swap to SuperSU, it will be best to use manual methods as most auto scripts out there doesn't work on all device. The simplest and most easiest way to do this does not even required any apps than a file manager. This can be done using ES File Explorer.

I've once faced an issue with kingoroot. It starts displaying annoying ads and battery saver on my lock screen without any switch to disable it, which is very annoying and RAM consuming. After trying an auto-script app called "SuperSume" which unfortunately doesn't work, I later found out how to remove it and swap it with SuperSU manually. This method works for phones with Kingroot or Kingoroot Kingo superuser.

I guess I was overthinking this. I just uninstalled Kingoroot's Superuser app through Apps, then downloaded and installed Super SU from the play store. Still have root. "All too easy" as a certain Sith Lord would say.

If, after updating the binary according to the instruction given above, your phone prompts that you have two superuser apps now [instead of having the kinguser automatically removed], find a little time to unsinstall that little pesky app, [in my case, I used Link2SD which is available in the PlayStore,] then go back to the terminal emulator, and rerun the scripts again. Voila, you're done.

Btw, I did this on Cloudfone Excite 501o (Android ver. 4.2.2 [KitKat]). I used iRoot (previously known as vRoot, but not sure how similar it is to VRoot which also exists now) to root the phone, and ended up getting a Chinese market app and lots of ads.
