Store listing

Full description
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.
