Introspy not requesting root

[llid3nlq]

Introspy is not requesting root when I select the application. It used to with an old install.
I have burned an entire day trying to get it working with no success.
The devices are Genymotion Nexus 4 - 4.1.1 and 4.2.2
Devices are both rooted
I have tried the unaltered apk versions
I have tried recompiling the application with added permissions as some stack-exchange threads have suggested and also added ACCESS_SUPERUSER but it still won't create an introspy.config or database file.
If I manually create an introspy.config file and get logcat telling me Unknown id:GENERAL after it tries to echo GENERAL CRYPTO to the config file.
I have had this working in the past. I only added the Superuser permissions after it would not work any other way, as a last resort.

Logcat output when I select the app to spy:

Any help is greatly appreciated
