[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

I'm so glad to see this back up! I was literally just looking for it a few days ago, and like magic, here it is again.

Anyway, I just wanted to say this works great on my GPE 5.0.1 for M8 VZW ROM. Just gave it a test run and everything works flawlessly. I'll be buying the pro version shortly.

I'm curious...the reason I tried finding this again in the first place is because there were a few things I was testing in my ROM, and I couldn't reliably get adb to work. Therefore, I'm sitting blind sometimes, not quite knowing what the full issue could be.

So, I'm wondering...is it possible to get this to install and work on a clean install of a ROM? I can grab the installed version from data/app no problem, as well as find the boot script that makes it go. I'm just curious about the superuser requirement, as on a clean install, it's obviously going to have to boot first before the app can prompt for superuser.

As a ROM dev who often finds himself staring impatiently at a spinning boot animation, it would be awesome to be able to have this kick off in those moments and shed some light on what I broke. :D

Also, do you mind if I PM you with a few questions regarding your superSU installer? I don't want to clutter up your threads with it.

Thanks, and thanks for the awesome app!

Colors during boot

Can anyone recommend a recent or decent custom kernel that has KCAL support and allows the logs to show colors during boot?

I'm using a Snapdragon Note 4 with a 5.1.1 custom ROM (TEKXodus Hybrid N4 URv7. 2) and Emotion r23 kernel and the only kernel I've come across that allows colors to show on boot is this one ... http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-xceed-t3344742 - but it does not have KCAL.

When I disable Dmesg in settings there are no logs at all just the ROM boot animation (which I also enable during normal use of LiveBoot).

Not a critical issue, I just find it asthetically pleasing at times to have LiveBoot logs show colors instead of only white. I still enjoy the app very much even with just white on top of my ROM's boot animation.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
If you only get the white logs, likely logcat is either disabled, or LiveBoot cannot access it.
[Android Apps and Games] kushtech:
Appreciate the reply.

Considering the app is still working as designed, I can't really complain. Thanks for your continued work ... really loving this one and CF. LUMEN

It doesn't work in my phone. I'm running OnePlus One with CM13 from here (http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/rom-kernel-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3242700).

Test run sometimes work sometimes doesn't. At booting screen, my phone just display blank grey screen which I believe is the background for LiveBoot.

Also I noticed that every time I start LiveBoot app, it will display "Installing" again

Thanks

Using with ROM's boot animation

If you set the number of lines to 120, you can see your ROM's boot animation much better. I'm not saying that other values aren't good enough but I love the way things look at 120.

[Android Apps and Games] Shark5060:
Awesome app [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] - as usual. I've also instantly bought the Pro version and it looks stunning with my bootlogo in the background.

One question tho - would it be possible to use a flashable zip to place the files after I upgraded my rom to place the script again? Because I would like to see the live logcat during the first boot and see if it gets stuck somewhere (bootloops are quite visible with my logo, but not if Xposed hangs again or sth).

I have to idea how to create a flashable zip or if what I am asking is even possible =)

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
People have been asking for ages but its complex and not high on my todo list
[Android Apps and Games] Shark5060:
Alright, thanks.

Thought it would be as simple as placing the script back where it was or something - but if it's more complex it's probably not worth the time. I can still hook it up to a pc and print the logcat in bash.

Thanks for your reply.

I installed it on my Pixel C with N Preview 3. I couldn't boot back into the ROM.

I got a page of white script, then a static boot animation.

The logcat indicates it just stops.

Only way back was to format data and re-root with v2.74.

If I get brave again, I'll reinstall it and grab proper logcats. Maybe when I'm about to move to Preview 4.

Is there a way to install it using FlashFire? Regular installation from the app doesn't work for me. (probably related to my phone being encrypted - I can't access recovery, need to use FlashFire for any flashing)

Source code?
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I thought I would mention that flashing the Xposed uninstaller ZIP seems to deactivate LiveBoot on my two Samsung G935F and T710, both of which run systemless SuperSU. Perhaps the start-up script is getting clobbered. Rerunning the LiveBoot app restores order.

The cause may be Xposed (I'm not 100% sure), but the symptom is observed with LiveBoot, which is why I'm reporting the issue here, rather than one one of the Xposed threads.
[Android Apps and Games] Adromir:
Did you flash normal xposed? There is a special version for systemless SuperSU out
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I was flashing my Samsung S2 Tab (T710) with the uninstaller ZIP of the system-based v85 Xposed as a precursor to flashing the systemless v86 ZIP. It was the flashing of the uninstaller that deactivated LiveBoot.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcoPLs:

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] , I always had liveboot on all my HTC devices but for some reason I can't get it to work on my HTC 10.

Any ideas why?

The app installs fine but it just doesn't show the logs at startup.

Using your official SuperSU system less.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcoPLs:
might be same problem as i have. some htc devices have system protection. check if you can mount system partition to rw
[Android Apps and Games] p50kombi:
yep, that's not an issue.

Even if I mount it as RW and reopen the app and let it install again, it still doesn't show the boot animation.

Not a biggy, I just find it immensely helpful to be able to spot certain things during a boot...
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Thanks and a Suggestion

Chainfire, as always thanks so much for your excellent tools!

I am trying to use this app for debugging purposes. I have a new Android TV box that often hangs during boot. It can happen before/after the boot animation or even upon display of the home screen. But when it does, there is no option but to pull the power cord.

So I was hoping with this app that I might see something on the screen if the hang occurs early-on that may tip me to what's wrong. But any clue is likely to have scrolled off already.

So I was hoping to get at the log after I pull the power and reboot. However, by the time that boot succeeds, your I think your log will have been overwritten.

So I wonder if there is some way to keep a history of the log files so I can get at this data? I hope I am being clear here. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
If you device has a custom recovery you can boot into recovery and get the log from there rather than letting it boot into android after pulling the plug.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Thanks, I had not thought of that (obviously). It seems like it works. However I have to chmod the file while in recovery before I move it. Otherwise the file copied to the internal SD cannot be opened. In a terminal window and an su shell, I tried to chmod the file but the permissions simply would not change for reasons I don't understand. Strangely though, I could delete the file just fine even without root. Thanks! I hope it will prove useful in shedding some light on what is causing the hangs.
[Android Apps and Games] umarliaqat20:
nice
[Android Apps and Games] RenaKunisaki:
Nice, it works on LG G4 with locked bootloader (but rooted). I was worried it would trip the "security error" that happens when replacing certain system files.

Request: background image. Since I think I can't replace the boot animation due to that security error, or even if I can it'd still be simpler to let this app do it. :D

Edit: nothing happens when I click "upgrade to pro". The "freeload" setting works and I'm able to use the features that way, but (even with that unchecked) the purchase option doesn't do anything. (I'll try to just get it from play store instead.)
[Android Apps and Games] RenaKunisaki:
Whoops, it was just because of XPrivacy blocking Internet functions. Apparently that includes showing the popup. Managed to buy it now. :D
[Android Apps and Games] j1gga84:
Nice idea but does not work on any of my devices running MM :(

[Android Apps and Games] aoleary:
Hi.

I want to just trace information related to the kernel loading. What options for logging should I disable to collect the most specific data possible..

My phone bootloops when I flash a custom kernel on stock, or if I flash a custom ROM (CM/AOSP). I can run vanilla stock fine, but want to figure out what is causing any modified stock kernel, whether on LP or MM causes my phone to bootloop on the LG logo..

Here is what I have chosen so far. What else marked in Red can I remove from being logged?

Levels

Verbose

Debug

Info

Warning => selected

Error => selected

Fatal => selected

Silent

Buffers

Main => selected

System => selected

Radio

Events => selected

Crash => selected
[Android Apps and Games] xuefer:
i have new idea beside "logging", what if we can show an progress bar at the bottom of liveboot?

the implemention idea can be one of followings

1. remember last reboot time, use it as a hint on current progress of the android boot up

2. or remember count of last reboot log lines, use it as a hint on current progress of the android boot up

3. or add an regex option in liveboot app, allow someone hack package scan & manifest (intent etc) register & pre-boot dexopt etc to log a percentage number into the log. regex should pick the percent value so liveboot know what percentage of the bar should show

none of the 3 ways are perfect but showing a progress bar is very good feature
[Android Apps and Games] Viggen66:
Chainfire, we are using your app to track down a bug, which is making an Android TV hang randomly on boot, and it writes the liveboot.log, however there's a problem here, in order to see what went wrong, we reboot again the Android TV and your app writes again a new log, overwriting the original log with the error, hence making it useless.

Is there a way to make different logs according liveboot + date + number of log, like for example liveboot0710201601, and on the second time liveboot0710201602, and so on, this way the app is of little help, in this particular case.

This is because we never know when the boot hang will happen, hence this way it's possible to track down the problem.

Thanks

I've got a Pixel C, currently stock (October image) and rooted with SuperSu 2.78 SR1. I've got the Domination layer installed. Nothing else I can think of.

I installed Liveboot, but never installed the script. I tried to run the test script a couple times. The second time gave me a reboot. The unit came up fine. I removed a layer and installed suhide v0.54. I got a bootloop.

Here's the log.

Maybe a dirty workaround, but try installing magisk v7 and the systemless liveboot
[Android Apps and Games] pkelly517:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I can see Magisk is a work in progress. I'd rather not throw another variable into the equation.

What is a systemless liveboot? I've been using the Play Store edition since I first bought it. Worked on deb, hammerhead, manta and bullhead. Maybe even mako. I'm not sure when I purchased the app. Dragon/Ryu is my only bit of grief.

Again, thanks.

edit: I asked about this first time in post #401. I didn't provide much information, so I didn't expect much of a response. I got the log this time. I hope it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Adromir:
I can understand your reservations regards Magisks. I feel the same as the official sources sometimes contradicts each other. Systemless Liveboot is a Magisk Module you can grab here here i just tried it out on a Testing device and it worked pretty well.

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It's not that I can't, it's just another distribution method I have to maintain.

Furthermore, the name "Systemless Liveboot" implies that Liveboot wasn't Systemless before. It has been for a very long time.

Last but not least, this is an illegal and unsanctioned redistribution of LiveBoot. I've had them remove it before, not sure why it has resurfaced...

When Does LiveBoot Logging Stop?

I am trying to use Liveboot logs to get ideas about why my Tronsmart Vega S95 keeps hanging intermittently at the display of the launcher screen.

Log File Question

I have been really hoping that LiveBoot could help me in debugging some boot-time kernel crashes on my s905-based TV box. On other boxes I have owned, there were pins soldered on to allow me to monitor early boot kernel messages using a laptop attached using a ttl->usb cable. But this box lacks them. Seeing that LiveBoot is able to capture and log this information is really great. However, I still am not making progress. So this raises the question of how/if kernel and logcat messages are buffered inside of LiveBoot before being written to disk. How often are the files flushed? I am not sure anyone else is trying to use LiveBoot this way. But if the data were flushed with each read/write, I wonder if I might see more info? I am sure there would be a performance penalty for this. So perhaps it should be optional? Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Works fine for me. (No bootloop.) The script file is what LiveBoot uses on startup to run.

When you select uninstall, from inside the app, it removes the script file only. The app will close and your boot animation will be as it was. If you want to run LiveBoot again, just run the app and it will reinstall the boot script.

- If you want to uninstall the app, long press on the icon or select uninstall from google play.

(Just to be safe I would uninstall script file before uninstalling the app.)
