Logcat Extreme: Your Comprehensive Log Management Solution

Peter Salakani

02/18/2025

Logcat Extreme by SCDevs offers a powerful and user-friendly interface for monitoring and managing Android system logs, making it an essential tool for developers and advanced users alike.

Logcat Extreme is a Logcat/Dmesg reader and Logcat recorder that offers a variety of features and a convenient user interface.

Please be informed that Logcat Extreme requires root access or READ_LOGS permission to display logs correctly. For devices without root access, you may grant the READ_LOGS permission by connecting to a computer and executing the following ADB command: "adb shell pm grant scd.lcex android.permission.READ_LOGS".

It's worth noting that starting from Android 4.1, any logcat app needs root access to display logs accurately.

New user interface (update 1.5): The user interface has undergone significant enhancements, once again. It is now more refined, user-friendly, and adheres to Material Design principles, all geared towards delivering a premium logcat experience.

Introducing "Floating Logcat" (update 1.1): This new feature, powered by StandOut, enables users to keep the logcat display in the top-right corner while working on their device, making it ideal for testing purposes. The logcat is presented in a movable window that can be resized and minimized, resembling desktop functionality.

Notes:

To resize the Floating Logcat window, drag the bottom-right corner of the window.

Developers' corner:

Starting from version 1.3, developers can utilize intent actions and extras to launch the logcat recorder directly from their applications:

"scd.lcex.ACTION_REC": Start recording
"scd.lcex.ACTION_STOP": Stop recording and associated service
"scd.lcex.EXTRA_FILTER": Logcat filter (string, optional), use together with ACTION_REC
