[root] LiveBoot
A feature is built-in to test your current configuration without rebooting. The lines shown in test mode may be limited and relatively static, this does not reflect exact boot time behavior as much as it just shows you that it works and how big the text will be.
Note that LiveBoot will only show up after the data partition is mounted. If you need to enter a decryption key or pattern at boot, it will not show up until you have done so.
Root
This app does not only require root, it requires specifically SuperSU version 2.40 or newer, due to how the boot-time code is launched. Alternatively, the app will try to function for otherwise rooted firmwares that support init.d, but this is not officially supported and it cannot be guaranteed to work.
Compatibility
Officially the app supports 4.3+ and newer, but really it is aimed at 5.0 and newer firmwares. Regardless of version, the app may work on your device or it may not. I've gotten it to work on a bunch of my own devices on various firmwares, but not on all. Even if the test run functionality works, this does not necessarily mean it will actually work during boot. It usually does, but not always.
This does indeed also mean I cannot guarantee continued operation
- even if it works for you today, it may fail your next firmware update. If that is an issue for you, then you should definitely not update to Pro.
The risk of bootloops is extremely low, but not completely non-existent. Should a bootloop occur, removing either the app's APK or /system/su.d/0000liveboot through recovery should fix the problem.
Unless you are using SuperSU in system-less mode, the app writes to /system, as such your firmware must allow this. There is no recovery-based install option at this time.
Pro
There's an in-app purchase to upgrade to Pro, which supports my developments, and unlocks the transparency option as well as logcat buffer and format selection.
Of course, if you have one of the paid variants of the old live logcat or live dmesg boot animations from all those years ago installed, this will also enable Pro mode.
Like some of my other apps these days, if you don't have Google Play but still managed to install the APK, this will also enable Pro mode.
Last but not least, if you simply don't want to pay for it, there's also a button to enable Pro mode.
Script
If /system/su.d/0000liveboot.script or /su/su.d/0000liveboot.script exists (chmod 0644, not 0700 like other files in /system/su.d/ or /su/su.d/ !), this script will be run instead of logcat and dmesg, and its output will be shown in white (stdout) and red (stderr).

I'd rather look at lines of colorful boot info than that ugly Motorola bootanimation. App works 100% as described. Stock 11 on Moto One Ace 5G.
Working in Android 5.1.1 rooted with SuperSU 2.82 SR5 in system-mode. Does not work in systemless mode, but that does not matter because system-mode is better. Just observed that output coloring does not worked in my Samsung phone whilst it works perfectly in my Sony phone. Well done, one more great app from this famous developer.
Beautiful app works on Android 12 gsi. Thank you. Tested on Oukitel K9.
Such a neat concept for a boot animation. I also greatly appreciate the "Freeloader" option. I used that to try the transparent mode, and have now purchased Pro to show my support.
bootloop after installing this :) solved by restarting twice. i don't know what the problem. i'm using magisk 24.3 and reloaded os. still good work tho👍
Thank you for Android 12 update! Excellent! Unique boot up!
Simply awesome. I like that you can look behind the curtain and see that the phone is actually doing something. Three cheers for Chainfire! Excellent job. 👍
At first it didn't work for the Pixel 2 XL. I don't know if it was because of my phone itself or the app, but now it works completely fine with no issues at all.
Not supported on redmi 11 pro rooted but I like this.
Works well. Sometimes, though, the log will appear over a gray background instead of the boot animation even with transparency enabled. OP6T 9.0.12
i used a rooted Samsung with kingo, super su vs. 2.82 and most popular/updated busybox plus the top playstr. root#/checker and #2/root checker. then also added magisk manager and twrp. installed bb in xbin,bin,root,. This app said 'you/dn have su vs. nor real root. uninstalled, ?ked progs. reinstalled....Nope. So i thn tried my rooted ZTE zmaxx. same deal, No' .I verified everything and dev. always 100%/has root across every app verify..etc. (root) LiveBoot simplly errors me away denied. Geewiz
Great idea, and really helpful when needed! No money to purchase the pro version, but I'll leave a rating instead. Xiaomi note 4x, magisk root.
This doesn't show in place of the boot screen on my Pixel 3 XL on Android P. It shows after. However, I've reaped the benefits of chainfires supersu for many years so I'm happy to support him in his ventures.
App doesn't implement boot animation/ demo even after root (Mi 11 Ultra): I installed the app (and bought Pro APK version). The device I'm using it on is Mi 11 ultra. The app has all the permissions including root permissions. But it simply doesn't implement anything. Can this be fixed, please?? Thanks!
Thank you Chainfire. Always wanted to get this geeky stuff while running Android. Superb, just tried it working marvelously.. Wish you keep updating your best apps like Recently and others. Have a good one sensei.
Works but it would be appreciated if there were different bootanimation compatible with Android 11. It works in android 11 just need more themes.
The text goes by in under a second on my one plus7t, so not really the effect I was hoping for. 5 star review anyway because it's a cool idea, and Chainfire is cool and froody
Worked great on old devices, not working on latest MI note 4x (mido) 10.x rom Tried multi ways. Rating neutral as worked great on all old devices.
I really love apps who are useful and this app isn't useful for anyone. I also don't know why but this app is really good and something i can enjoy again anytime. I appreciate the development for such apps. I think Chainfire knew what we want besides our needs. Here the other 5 ☆☆☆☆☆
I love the app, if I was able to use it. It keeps saying I have to update/upgrades something and won't let me use it. I'm using a Samsung a12.
Best tech nerd BIOS-looking boot animation! Simple and eye-catching (also very useful for quick glances at logs as device is booting).
Nexus 5 DARKROM works but for some reason slows down the phone by a lot. Otherwise really cool. Shame I can't have it like this.
does exactly what is says it will. always fun to add odd tweaks to a phone that YOU own. unlike them iPhones.
Very cool effect of used with the right boot animation, although an option to customize it to more fit the device theme would be better
Newest versions doesn't work to lenovo Tab2 A10-70l with root and super user android 6, but the version 1.2 works on this tablet could you fix new versions for this tablet.
Visually impressive as well as helpful in diagnostics when optional logfile is enabled. Unique app.
Wow. Incredibly verbose, very effective for troubleshooting. And it's entertaining to watch during boot. Another admin utility by J.Rummy that will make you wonder how you got by without it.
Works fine but It'd be cool if the boot img could also be changed
Thank you so much for the update. I've missed this since updating to A12. And now it works perfectly again on my rooted S10+
