We've talked about LiveBoot in the past and how it tweaks the default boot animation of your Android device by adding logcat and dmesg logging (bringing the good old Matrix digital rain vibe). Made by none other than XDA legend Chainfire, the creator of SuperSU, this incredibly innovative app has now received a new update after a brief hiatus. The update bumps the app version to 1.84 and finally makes it compatible with Android 11.

LiveBoot is boot animation application that shows you the output of both logcat and dmesg while the device is booting up. Not only do people see it as a better boot animation than an OEM's logo, but it can also be useful as it can show you errors from these logs as they happen. The application is from XDA Moderator Emeritus and Senior Recognized Developer Chainfire and it has just received a couple of big updates for some of you who are running the latest software.
