What’s better than using [root] LiveBoot by Chainfire? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
About the App
Ever wondered what your device is up to while it’s booting up? [root] LiveBoot from Chainfire lets you peek behind the curtain by displaying real-time logcat and dmesg output right on your screen as your Android device starts. It’s a specialized tool for those who want to geek out with detailed system info during boot—a kind of “live status feed” for what’s happening under the hood. If you enjoy tinkering with your device, this is definitely a unique way to see the nitty-gritty before your home screen appears.
App Features
-
Animated Boot Logs: See your device’s logcat and dmesg outputs scroll across the screen during boot, giving you a hands-on look at what your system’s doing, line by line.
-
Personalized Log Display: Pick your preferred logcat buffer, format, and level so you’re only seeing the info that matters most to you. Want to color-code your logs for better clarity? You got it.
-
Transparency & Overlays: With Pro mode, make the log output background transparent to overlay the existing boot animation. It’s pretty cool watching the code roll by as your device wakes up.
-
On-the-Fly Testing: Test how everything will look before you reboot—ideal for customizing your setup without the risk of unexpected surprises.
-
Script Support: Got advanced needs? Custom scripts can replace default log output, displaying their results in distinctive colors so you know what’s standard output and what’s an error.
-
Root-Only Access: Heads up, you’ll need root, and either SuperSU (2.40+) or a recent Magisk, for everything to run smoothly. The app also tries to play nice with other rooted setups, but results may vary.
-
Flexible Unlock Options: Unlock Pro mode with an in-app purchase to get advanced customization, or—if you’ve supported Chainfire’s old paid tools or installed the APK outside Google Play—you might have Pro waiting for you.
-
Built for Tinkerers: Whether you’re running the app on your phone, tablet, or using BlueStacks, [root] LiveBoot is designed for users who want more control—and visibility—over their Android boot process.
