Logcat & Co.

Please bear in mind that to access log data of other apps, starting with Android 4.1 most apps will require root access; with Android 7.1 this was relaxed a bit again (see permission READ_LOGS). Some however might have found a work-around, so make sure to check. Alternatively, see „Logcat & Co“ in this list.
