Logcat Extreme
Please note: From Android 4.1 onwards ANY logcat app needs root access in order to show logs properly.
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 thelogcat recorder directly from their apps:
"scd.lcex.ACTION_REC" start recording
"scd.lcex.ACTION_STOP" stop recording and service associated
"scd.lcex.EXTRA_FILTER" logcat filter (string, optional), use in conjunction with ACTION_REC

This app is an invaluable tool. I have used it many times to diagnose and fix hundreds of apps and Android system problems where nothing else would provide me with any information to work with. Also it is the best of its kind that I have found after testing a dozen. Then I bought the Pro version to support its development. Thanks dev for creating it and keep up the good work !
PLEASE READ REVIEW: Jacques Bertrand 24/09/2018 Works great. This should be added to the app's description: if you don't have root, connect to computer & copy/paste this in adb: adb shell pm grant scd.lcex android.permission.READ_LOGS 1 people found this helpful

It's pretty good but truncates longer errors which makes it pretty useless for debugging apps on device.
Bestest Logcat app!!! You can't go wrong! Had others... However, have had THIS app for few years, because it is the BEST one out there!
This is the best logcat app I've come across. Makes diagnosing issues directly on your device super convenient!
Cant handle main logs. It freezes. Unusable. :/ ui is inconvenient.
Blank screen on opening, completely unresponsive. Rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo running Nougat.
Really very helpful. But I am unable to grant read logs righta in MIUI 11 (Redmi Note 8 Pro)
Doesn't do anything? Log is constantly empty. Dmsg shows, but isnt live.
Crashes every single time I try to view the log.
Freezes a few seconds after opening
I can't see dmesg log. It says syslog_read denied
Needs to be updated. Im running api 28.
Love this app for figuring stuff out
Opens and doesn't respond/crashes
Best app for read logcat
Always a go-to
I was beginning to give up on useful tools to help develop directly on my tablet! Because of health reasons, I cannot sit at my PC for long periods of time. I write using AIDE, then do my final compiles on my computer. This app has been the greatest help of any other tool I've used (not just log readers). Thanks SCDevs! I especially like the ability to call the app from my code. Logcat Extreme is nothing short of awesome! Keep it up. I look forward to new, innovative features. Now, I'm off to buy the paid version.....
I am working on multiple devices and debugging the app in the IDE is a nightmare. Thr floating mode just makes this so useful!
The clear action does not work from the floating button
Floating logs opens, then closes instantly on my galaxy s7 edge
Cannot copy individual messages.
Does what it says.
but it would be a lot better if we could enable merged logs like CatLog. So view Radio and System logs together.
i think something is broken in latest update, no logs are showing or being saved. no idea if it's error on my side but previously on a different rom it was working great & the record logs (auto saves in a file) option really helped a lot when had to capture logs of device restarting at a specific event.
