About Logcat Extreme

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 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.lcex android.permission.READ_LOGS"

Please note: From Android 4.1 onwards ANY logcat app needs root access in order to show logs properly.
