What is LogCat Live Wallpaper
LogCat Live Wallpaper is a live wallpaper app that displays Logcat output on your screen with extensive customization options.
Features
- Flexible Permissions: Works with Shizuku, Root, or even without any special permissions.
- Highly Customizable: Customize the background color or use a background image, choose where Logcat is displayed, change the font, adjust the text size, select the scrolling style and speed, customize text colors, and even fully customize the Logcat command (it can be replaced with any other command).
- Optimized Performance: The wallpaper automatically pauses when the screen is turned off or when you're using another app, helping reduce battery and memory usage.

Usage Tips
Lock Screen
It’s better to use this wallpaper only on the lock screen, since using it on the home screen may cause visual clutter while using the device.
Text Size
Use a larger text size. Smaller text shows more characters and lines on the screen, which can make the wallpaper look more cluttered.
Scroll Speed
Use a low scroll speed, around 0.1 to 5, because fast-moving text can make the wallpaper more distracting.
Requirements
- Android Version:
6.0or higher. - Shizuku or Root: LogCat Live Wallpaper needs Shizuku or Root permission to access the full Logcat output, but they are optional. The app will still work without them with limited log access.

How Shizuku is used
Can show live logcat output as wallpaper and run custom log commands via Shizuku with `logcat` and `sh -c`.
This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.
How this app uses Shizuku
Shizuku is used to run the wallpaper log feed with elevated privileges so the full system log is visible on screen.
- Show live log wallpaper: the wallpaper and its previews continuously stream the output of the configured log command and scroll it across the home screen, launched as a shell process through Shizuku.
- Run custom log commands: text the user types in the custom command field is saved as the log command and later run with
sh -cthrough Shizuku, so edited filters and options change what the wallpaper shows.
Android APIs or commands used
sh -clogcat -clogcat
Notable details
Without Shizuku the same log command is run directly with normal app privileges, which shows only limited output.
