SysLog

About this app

Records various log types and compresses them as a zip file.
The logs are saved in the application's private cache directory
named by the date and time.

You can access the zip files through the system document picker
- Select the SysLog app to view collected log zips.

Log types supported:

* Kernel logs (dmsg)
* Last kernel log (last_kmsg, if device supports it)
* Main log (Logcat)
* Modem log
* Event logs
* SELinux audit logs

To enable access to some logs (Logcat and Radio) to SysLog, you
will need to grant the READ_LOGS permision using a computer with
ADB.

From a command line with adb available, you can grant the READ_LOGS
permission via the following command:

adb shell pm grant com.tortel.syslog android.permission.READ_LOGS

This command tells the phone's package manager to grant the
READ_LOGS permission to SysLog.

Ratings and reviews

Uhm, I can't see wrong in this app, this app really work (for rooted device) I use this app to see if my app (does rooted app I also use) does it really running perfectly and I see no wrong, and everything on "live log" shows what I opened so, just you really need root, though it's 2020, I still use root on my Android 9 phone for costume ROM, root apps and some CPU/GPU tweaks

Use this command in ADB to grant the permission necessary for reading logs on unrooted phones: adb shell pm grant com.tortel.syslog android.permission.READ_LOGS Thank you for this great little app making saving & sharing logs so fast & easy. My Galaxy Galaxy S3 has ROOT & running LineageOS 14.1 which is based on Android 7.1 (Nougat). I don't understand reviewers giving only 1 star because they can't read the description above which clearly says "Root is required for Android 4.1+". It's not the app's fault if they are blind! Working great also on Galaxy S5 G900M klteub running LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo 8.1) and on Pie 9.0 (LineageOS 16.0). I used the adb permission on a NOT rooted Galaxy S5 Mini G800H running stock Samsung 6.0.1 Marshmallow & it also works fine on it.

I have had this phone for about 2-4 years and a few months ago it stared freezing uncontrollably and some people suggested this app but I think it might made the freezing a bit worse. It froze while I was reviewing this too.
