2025 Editor's Rating

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.

  • Read live logcat
  • Pause and resume logging
  • Record logs (even in the background)
  • Send logs via email
  • Apply various filters (priority level, format, etc.)
  • Quick filtering with a search box
  • Customizable logcat configuration options
  • Access kernel's debug messages (dmesg)
  • Intuitive controls for easy feature access
  • New "Per-app Logcat" feature and innovative "Floating Logcat" functionality
  • Resizable floating window with pinch-to-zoom capability

Notes:

  • In order to initiate a new Floating Logcat session, tap the last button on the right (bottom bar).
  • 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
