About

LiveBoot is an app for rooted devices that shows the logcat and dmesg output on-screen during boot. It has been around since 2014, (then) supporting Android 4.x (or 2011 and Android 2.x if you include its predecessors).

Opening the source

It does some neat tricks, others could learn from it. It's not really in active development anymore (and hasn't been for years), but now and then people nag me to fix it when it breaks, and sometimes I do. Now you can fix it too! A little joy as 2020 finally ends!

Open source but in-app puchases?

Yes, please still buy it. Or press the Freeload button that has been in most of my apps for many years that gives you all the features for free. Or recompile it yourself so it does that.

Download

You can grab actual releases from Google Play or in the XDA thread.

Feedback

It puts it in the XDA thread.

Disclaimer

This hasn't been in active development for a while, and contains code that has been copy/pasted and passed around throughout my projects for many years. It wouldn't surprise me if there's code in here somewhere that was already smelly back in 2011. This is not a shining example of how to build apps in 2020.

Especially if you're primarily familiar with newer devices, there may be some weird constructs with regards to root, but keep in mind this app should still be working on Android's as old as 5.0, and supporting several different root solutions and versions.

I did not go through the code to clean it up before dumping it here. Comments could be outdated or just plain wrong.

If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

Dependencies

Primarily depends on libRootJava and libCFSurface.

Enjoy!

Or not.

Android 12 Support?

Are there plans to update LiveBoot to support Android 12? I've been trying to dig through the code to figure out how I could make it work, but I have not made any progress.

LICENSE file confuses GitHub license detection logic

You have posted a GPL license notice into a license file. It is incorrect. Instead license file must contain an unmodified text of the license. The license notice should be put into some source code file. After that GitHub should detect the license correctly.

Add Support for Android 12

This pull request adds support for Android 12.

To work around dependency resolution failures on the Chainfire libraries due to the Bintray shutdown, all relevant Chainfire libraries are bundled in this pull request as project modules. Ultimately, these libraries should each be updated and made available on a new repo and referenced instead of bundling them as modules, but until that happens, this approach functions as a suitable workaround for getting this app functioning again on Android 12.

[OnePlus 6T] boot animation overrides Liveboot

I installed this on a OnePlus 6T (Oxygen OS 11.1.2.2), and I see the liveboot text for a second in the very beginning, but shortly after there's the OnePlus animation shown for most of the boot :( I then see another short flash of liveboot text before asked to enter my pin.

Is there a method to override this animation? A different installation method or a config file? Or is it a bug in this software?
