About this app

This is the Pro/Donate version of Logcat Extreme with all the features unlocked. If you were on the free version just uninstall it, it's no longer needed.

Logcat Extreme is an enhanced Logcat/Dmesg reader and Logcat recorder which comes with a rich set of features and handy user interface.

Please note: Logcat Extreme Pro requires root access or READ_LOGS permission to show logs properly. For non-rooted devices, in order to grant the READ_LOGS permission connect to a computer & copy/paste the following ADB command:
"adb shell pm grant scd.lcexpro android.permission.READ_LOGS"

New user interface (update 1.5):
the UI has been dramatically improved, again. Now more polished, user friendly, pure material design. All with the aim to bring a top quality app for your logcats.

Introducing "Floating Logcat" (update 1.1):
a new wonderful feature powered by StandOut, it allows you to keep the logcat on top right while you're working on your device, perfect for your tests! the logcat is shown inside a window you can move, resize and even minimize, just like a desktop one.

* Read live logcat
* Pause and resume
* Record (even in background)
* Send logs via mail
* Apply filters (priority level, format, etc.)
* Search box for quick filtering
* Many options to configure the logcat
* Read the kernel's debug messages (dmesg)
* Intuitive controls to access all the features with easy
* New "Per-app Logcat" feature!
* Revolutionary "Floating Logcat" feature!
* Floating window resizable even with pintch-to-zoom

Notes:
- In order to start a new Floating Logcat session tap the last button on the right (bottom bar).
- In order to resize the Floating Logcat drag the bottom-right corner of the window.

Devs corner:

Starting from version 1.3, devs can use intent actions and extras in order to launch the
logcat recorder directly from their apps:

"scd.lcexpro.ACTION_REC" start recording

"scd.lcexpro.ACTION_STOP" stop recording and service associated

"scd.lcexpro.EXTRA_FILTER" logcat filter (string, optional), use in conjunction with ACTION_REC

Like the app's description says, you need either root access or to manually grant READ_LOGS via adb in order to see much of anything, so verify you can do so successfully with the non-paid version (Logcat Extreme) first. Hint: you should see thousands+ of messages, not like ten! But as long as you are rooted or can grant that right successfully, this app is extraordinarily useful. And remember, there are three buffers: default view is "Main," but there are also "Events" and "Radio."

Basic features missing, e.g., select and copy text. Floating window missing some non-floating window options, such as saving. There's no way to return from the floating window to the non-floating state. The floating window's search bar should be placed at the top of the window to reduce the likelihood of it being covered by the keyboard. The search option is only available for the main log and not for the kernel or app logs. Need event type filters. Doesn't support native windowing (crashes).
