Chainfire has pulled the wraps off an all-new app for folks who like to root other devices called LiveBoot. The app is in version 1.00 right now and puts a logcat/dmesg boot animation on the screen of the device during boot to allow users to see what is going on with boot as it happens.
There are two versions of the app- the basic and the pro version. The pro version allows the boot information to be laid over the normal device boot screen as the smartphone boots. To use the app, the smartphone had to be rooted using SuperSU v2.40 or higher.
Chainfire says that Android 4.3 to 5.0 might work with the app, but it is mainly aimed at Android 5.0 users. The developer warns that users on Android 4.3 will likely run into issues and those issues will be fixed in “due time.”
The app is available on the Google Play store right now. It is a free download with a $2.49 in-app purchase option. Presumably, that is what it costs to update to the pro version. If you want to see exactly what the app does on a device, check out the video below.

Chainfire is one smart mother ******….looks cool, but I don’t see any real purpose.
It’s mostly aimed at developers
I read another article this morning on XDA were he explains about the log files which would help in a bootloop.
Also, it looks really cool…
