About SysLog
A simple open-source tool for quickly taking and sharing system logs.
Root is required for Android 4.1+, and recommended for all versions.
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
After taking logs, it compresses them into a single zip, and allows you to share or upload them right away - great for helping debug system issues.
New in v2.0.0: Support for viewing the current system logs in near-real time.
You can also include notes within the zip, and append up to 10 characters to the file name.
New feature in v1.2: Grep the logs for a string. This will run the logs through grep before adding them to the zip. This is case sensitive! It will also automatically add a line to the end of the notes describing which logs and what string was used.
All the source is available at https://github.com/Tortel/SysLog
Licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2.
Uses libsuperuser by Jorrit 'Chainfire' Jongma, available at https://github.com/Chainfire/libsuperuser, AppCompat v23, Material Dialogs by Aidan Follestad, and Android-Terminal-Emulator by Jack Palevich.
The log scrubbing utility came from the CyanogenMod bug report tool

It would be great if they told u where the log files go. Even better if u could tell the app where to put them. But that is too basic a question to ask, I suppose

As a kernel dev, I needed an easy way for my users to send me logs for debugging. This tool does everything and more and makes the process so much easier for a new user to give me the information I need. Thanks!

Exactly what I need for getting logs. Plus supports dropbox.

Works with the READ_LOGS permission granted through ADB, but it doesn't recognize that it has the permission and keeps asking for root/not displaying live logs
