[Android Apps and Games] vi.rus.08:
init.d can't be removed. I tried using ES file Explorer and Total commander. Through the terminal issues: chmod 644 / System / etc / init.d / 100644 read-only file system. How to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Let's try this again.

Open LiveBoot, scroll down and select Uninstall. The app will close and the next time you boot/reboot it should be gone.

If you want it back, then just simply open LiveBoot and let it install the script file again.

Unless you moved 0000liveboot manually, the uninstall option should remove it for you.
[Android Apps and Games] vi.rus.08:
the fact is that the liveboot application is missing (removed). LogCat is configured to start automatically . The only thing I found on the device is LiveBoot.jar, but there's nothing in it. I tried changing the resolution to 644 in the 0000liveboot file (the default resolution is 755) without changing. I tried to install live boot again, it hangs at the boot stage. Maybe you can just disable AutoPlay apps?
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Not sure how you uninstalled the liveboot app but, you may need to a little clean up.

Remove any liveboot leftovers

Where did you find the .jar file?

Did you try rebooting into recovery and wipe cache and reboot.

Select dalvik cache also if you have the option in your recovery.

Without knowing what it is you are working with, it's a little hard to guess.

Device, setup and configuration.

Find the boot script, should be named 0000liveboot

Can be located in a few different places if you use SuperSU (Listed in OP).

Otherwise it should be, most likely, placed in /system/etc/init.d/

Using a terminal app or adb shell, su and remount system to be read-write.

su

mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

Then remove the boot script, remount system read-only and reboot.

rm /directory/0000liveboot

mount -o ro,remount,ro /system

reboot

or

su

mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

rm /directory/0000liveboot

mount -o ro,remount,ro /system

reboot recovery

Wipe cache and reboot.

Select dalvik cache also if you have the option in your recovery.

Example using SuperSU in System Mode.

su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
rm /system/su.d/0000liveboot
mount -o ro,remount,ro /system
reboot

Remove any liveboot leftovers from from /data/app and /data/data/

Example. Again adb shell or terminal, su and system rw.

rm -rf /data/app/eu.chainfire.liveboot-1
rm -rf /data/data/eu.chainfire.liveboot

Sidenote:

OT

You might want to look at other file explorers.

es is not what it used to be and there are better options out there.

[MENTION=9227670]@srmahunt[/MENTION] This is a way to get Liveboot working with Magisk:

[Android Apps and Games] @srmahunt:
It requires init.d linker module but the official link isn't working. Can you post the module??
[Android Apps and Games] Didgeridoohan:
Use the init.d injector module available in the Magisk downloads. It'll work the same...
[Android Apps and Games] @srmahunt:
The mentioned liveboot file isn't at the location and liveboot app doesn't even open properly(shows no supersu or init.d support then exits)
[Android Apps and Games] Didgeridoohan:
Did the init.d injector install correctly? Do you have an init.d folder in /system/etc?

I just tested and the suggested method works exactly as advertised.

No init.d folder just an init folder. I am on oneolus 5 oos by the way.

Since I upgraded my OP5T to Oreo Treble / Pie, I cant get liveboot to work by moving the script to the post-fs-data.d folder. I'd be glad of any insight as to whether this was a Magisk or a Treble change.
[Android Apps and Games] @srmahunt:
Same problem with oneplus 5 treble too, the script sometimes work, sometimes doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] @srmahunt:
Copy the script to service.d folder instead, that seems to work. And surprisingly it works even with the module disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
You mean /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d? I tried that and no joy. Tried perms 700 and 755.

Which module do you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] @srmahunt:
The init.d injector module, the live boot script works even without the module installed. Copying to service.d and setting permission 755 worked for me. Which device are you using??
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
Right ok yeah. By copying the file to the magisk location you're essentially bypassing the init.d injector and/or init.d linker modules.

I have a 5T on crdroid (aosp) and a 6T on oos and the above doesn't work on either.

On the 5T it's only stopped working when I upgraded to treble and then Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] @srmahunt:
There is no pie for 5t yet!! How did you get it??

Just installed a few days ago after about one year without using this app, tried to make it work (in past I had success with magisk) but nothing, it worked after the boot and didn't stop... :D

Yesterday I updated the app, but it installed script in post.data.fs and doesn't work at all... Will try again after work this evening to remove and reinstall the script, or to move to other folder mentioned some post ago! Anyway, good job as always!, ✌?✌?
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
I had it working on my s9 TW rom with magisk and after the update I had to uninstall / reinstall script & reboot a couple times to get it working again.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
If you've ever used a workaround to get LiveBoot working, those may be interfering and may need to be (manually removed). I guess if you used the init.d module uninstalling the script would help.

It staying running after Android has come up is weird. I built something into the app that would work around that even in extreme cases, but that particular piece of code has stopped working in recent Android versions due to new battery saving techniques in Android itself.

I know SuperSU had an issue on some rare devices where it wouldn't be able to launch in the post-fs-data stage and ran in service mode only, not sure if the same is true of Magisk and I'm not really able to find any bootup logs related to it. Running from service.d is not ideal as it may run quite a bit later than post-fs-data, but if this turns out to be a common issue, it may be worth just running it from both and aborting in case it's already running.

Please make sure all of you are using v1.70 and not v1.60, and let me know:

- Exact device model

- Exact firmware

- Exact Android version

- Exact Magisk version.

- Whether "test run" in the app works correctly.

Additional helpful information:

- Output of 'getprop' as su on device

- Magisk's logcat: with USB debugging, disconnect phone from PC, run adb logcat | find /i "magisk", reboot your phone and immediately plug it in, wait about a minute for output.

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
If you grab the APK and the script, and you make sure to adjust the script for the correct paths to the APK and the libraries (should be obvious if you read the script), and you have a new enough version of SuperSU installed in the ROM, it should work. Scripts in /system/su.d are executed regardless of SuperSU knowing your root access, as you actually need root to put the scripts there.

It's color coded. Various logcat tools use similar colors.

verbose: white

debug: blue

info: green

warning: yellow

error/fatal: red

silent: black

Note that apps use these different levels semi-randomly. While they have clear labels and there are some basic best practises in which log level to use for which message, many apps just pick one and use those. So red lines may have the error tag, they don't necessarily donate an actual error.

Links to ROM and kernel and logs from the test run are required for any chance of a fix.

An option could be made to do this, I guess.

Please check back to this thread regularly, there's going to be a version today or tomorrow that might fix this specific issue. It might not be posted on Play before I get some test results (or maybe it will, I'm not sure yet)

(1) meh

(2) you can change the font size by changing the number of lines that should be shown on screen

No

Just because you don't find it entertaining doesn't mean we don't. Text size is already configurable, line breaking and pause, meh.

Exactly the same behavior. Nexus 5X, 8.1 (November stock image), Magisk 17.3. Magisk log shows

To remove this properly do you also have to uninstall the app? I tried the uninstall button within the app but it still runs on boot. Should I get logs as it's booting? (I think this app can do that right?)

Since it wasn't working for me I just uninstalled the app. I noticed that it was still showing in the Magisk logs so I reinstalled the app and used the uninstall option from within the app.

Didn't think much of it after that, but when I rebooted I was surprised to find that it was now working.

I'm not entirely sure how/why "uninstalling" it made it work lol :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Re: it not working for some people (sometimes it does when moved to service.d), I'm not sure what the issue is still, probably something regarding initialization. I need to be able to reproduce it before I can even try to fix it.

Interesting. I actually have a 5X but unfortunately I bricked it a few weeks ago else I could try to replicate the issue :(

Haven't heard about the "test run" behaving this way from anybody else yet either.

This happens on all devices, on some the delay is just so short you don't notice it. The system boot animation starts when /system is ready, while liveboot only starts when both SuperSU/Magisk and /data are ready. /system always happens earlier.

Freaky. Do you find that it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't work, or does it now just always work? (Trying to figure out if this could be a timing issue)

I'll give this version a go a report back shortly :)

In the mean time I just wanted to ask if anyone else had noticed the font size become larger half way through the boot animation?

I know it sounds ridiculous, and trust me I have questioned my own eye sight / sanity, but I swear if the number of lines is increased it starts off as what's been set and reduces (making the font bigger) after part of the way through.

I had asked a few work colleagues to watch the screen, and after the initial "you are such a geek" some said that they noticed it too and others "you need to get out more" lol :silly: :rolleyes:
