About Logcat Live Wallpaper

A Live Wallpaper that displays the Android activity log.

A must-have for geeks :)

Includes several fonts, an 'old phosphor effect', and other options.
With this full version you can also customize colors, and scroll up to see previous logs.

Please note: unfortunately due to a change in Android 4.1 ('Jelly Bean') and above, this app will only work with rooted devices. Therefore, please do not purchase this app if you have a non-rooted 4.1+ device.

Please try the LITE (free) version before purchasing this app, so you can see if you'll like it :)

What are users saying about Logcat Live Wallpaper

D70%
by D####:

The paid version fills the logcat with its own messages, even with identical and minimal configuration. You can't filter them out either since the filter only functions "inclusively" rather than "exclusively". Therefore I use the lite version instead of the paid one to avoid the quantum observer effect.

This app doesn't seem to work on jelly bean, logs aren't moving anymore s3

Great app. Definitely worth the geek cred. Only thing I don't like is that all the text goes white when you touch anything, make option to adjust plz.

N70%

I just love it, but on my M device it just stops scrolling. What a pity!

Y70%

It won't load on logs on my Samsung galaxy star dust phone

L70%
by L####:

Some apps abuses logcat and logcat is spammed. Please add filtering to remove these.

Q70%

I paid for the app. The wallpaper used to work on my older phones. now I updated to Android 5. 0. 2 and when I start the app it reports the following error message: "Failed to obtain READ_LOGS permission". Basically it doesn't seem to work on lollipop, is there a workaround or an upgrade coming to fix that? Thanx

Works great, thanks for updating this.

Wrap text makes home screen animations pretty slow.

If you hang at Loading, be sure logging is enabled in your ROM configuration.

Not available in my country now after i've had it this long

Works very well, and is rather customisable.

...and baddest live wallpaper on the market. Looks great behind widgets w/clear backgrounds. Been using this constantly with no problems at all, and not a CPU hog like some live wallpapers. Great job.

Great Wallpaper

Appeals to my inner geek. Fix the scroll disable on gingerbread and it'll be a 5 star app! (HTC desire running oxygen 2.0.3)

If you're trying new roms and untested apps this is extremely handy

I love the concept of this but this is lagging like mad for me. Waiting for performance update... (HTC Desire with 2.2 os + LauncherPro)

N70%
by N####:

system panel/task killer said this is using 22% battery per day, ill try playing with settings to lower it, lowered brightness one click and it improv

Now I can see what's wrong with my phone without adb lol! Very simple, cool and battery friendly. Also its only like 67¢ which is a plus. A must have!

M70%
by M####:

Used to love in. Now it flashes on touch and no option to disable that addon. I shouldn't have updated.

K70%
by K####:

I can't turn scrolling off on my Nexus S.

C70%
by C####:

Now that it's updated and working for rooted devices it's fantastic.

Y70%
by Y####:

but home screen swiping is very laggy even with disabled effects. Needs some optimalization.

K70%
by K####:

Just 4 stars because it still lacks a 'log level' option (to display only events of a certain severity, or worse), and a 'buffers' option (to selectively display the 'main', 'radio' and 'events' logs -or any combination thereof).

R70%
by R####:

To make it work on JellyBean the app must be installed as a system app (requires root).

Warning, info, errors not changing colors on droid razr other than that looks and works well.

H70%
by H####:

Not showing different colors for errors or info on moto razr. Please fix it.

by C####:

I rather miss this, since I upgraded phones. I may get around to rooting eventually, of course. I have no idea how feasible this notion is, but being something of a Tasker fiend, I'd love to be able to send text to the wallpaper from Tasker. In any event, this is still one of the best wallpapers in existence, whether you actually *read* it or not. It just looks great.

J70%
by J####:

Lags and bugs+I paid for it. It used to rock on my Desire long time ago. Not worth buying anymore.

S70%
by S####:

Awesome app, Dev was quite responsive and fixed the scroll bug. Remember to always report bugs, don't just leave a bad review, devs don't look at them, they use their customer support they've set up specifically for that purpose. My apologies to the dev for being a total d-bag and forgetting that.

S70%
by S####:

Starting with JB apps are no longer able to access the system logcat, only it's own. This is not the fault of the dev though.

P70%
by P####:

Or does this need a jelly bean update. Seems like the logs are awful silent these days now that im on JB.

G70%
by G####:

I installed this on my Samsung galaxy 3S and the text scrolls too quickly to read any of it. I have looked through the options, but there is nothing that I am able to do to read these logs from this live wall. If text speed is added I would give a higher rating.

C70%
by C####:

Some performance-related issues: causes launchers to stutter when scrolling; massive performance hit when "Wrap text" is enabled. Other than that this does exactly what you'd expect it to.

Im usually lazy writing reviews but this app has took my attention and I gotta tell you all that this is an awesome app esp for geeks. Love it. Good work

C70%
by C####:

The only information on the supposeded logcat seems to display is, its own process. I wish there was some built-in filters or settings that would show me my actual logcat because, although this wallpaper looks cool, it's default settings don't give me the info i am looking for.

S70%
by S####:

The developer sold me this app even though I run Android 4.1 and the app is known NOT to work on this version. Disabling purchases for Android versions that don't support the app is basic Play Store functionality - developer took my money fully knowing the app won't work for me. This could easily be prevented using existing Play Store functionality. While there is a *Note* to that effect in the description of this product I shouldn't even be offered this app to purchase.
