Here's how to use logcat:
There are two main ways to do a logcat, within android, and through adb.
Logcat within android can be done one of two ways, through a Logcat app:
Here are two good examples are either: aLogcat or Catlog
I prefer catlog, because in my opinion it has a little bit nicer UI. Both of these programs can dump their logs to a txt file, which is very useful for debugging. Or, you can do it in terminal emulator (same rules as running through adb(see below))
On the other hand, using adb to run logcat, in my opinion is much more useful, because you can start using it when android boots (i.e. once the boot animation appears.)
The code for logcat to output to a file is
Code:
adb logcat > name of problem.txt
you can also do
Code:
adb logcat -f name of problem.txt
how I prefer to do it is this way:
Code:
adb logcat -v long > name of problem.txt
with the -v flag & the long argument, it changes output to long style, which means every line of logcat will be on its own line (makes it a little neater, imo)
Note: When outputting to a file, you will see a newline, but nothing printed, this is normal. To stop logcat from writting to a file, you need to press ctrl+c.
Here's where using logcat (via adb makes life really easy)
Lets say you find a problem you're having after looking at a logcat.
For example:
When I was trying to use a different ramdisk, wifi wouldn't work so I got a logcat that's almost 1300 lines long (a lot of stuff happens in the background)
So if you are searching for an error in the logcat file (it's always e/ for error, f/ for fatal. Those are the two main things that will break a system.)

(mind you, that's 29 lines out of 1300ish, just for example)
I then could do the following with logcat:
Code:
adb logcat WifiStateMachine:E *:S -v long > name of problem.txt
and this will only print out any errors associated with WifiStateMachine, and anything which is fatal, which makes it about a million times easier to figure out what's going on!
In WifiStateMachine:E, the :E = to look for Errors, the full list of options is as follows:
V — Verbose (lowest priority)
D — Debug
I — Info (default priority)
W — Warning
E — Error
F — Fatal
S — Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)
You can replace the :E with any other letter from above to get more info.
In order to filter out anything other than what you are looking for (in this case, WifiStateMachine) you must put a *:S after your last command (i.e. WifiStateMachine:E ThemeChoose:V ... ... AndroidRuntime:E *:S)

Logcat gives you the messages of the system logs and you can submit them to a developer manually. Bug report is kinda an automatic thing that keeps track of your errors

Hi,
I modified the recently leaked skype w/ video app for the HTC Thunderbolt. Let me document my changes and progress so far:
Here is the original app:http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/
1) if you try to install the app unmodified on a non HTC thunderbolt phone, you will get an "installation failed" message. I decompiled the app using these instructions: http://jack-mannino.blogspot.com/2010/09/reversing-android-apps-101.html
2) I modified the AndroidManifest.xml to remove this line:
<uses-library android:name="com.htc.device" />
3) I then recompiled and resigned the app( http://www.addictivetips.com/mac-os/auto-sign-tool-for-android-developers-on-mac/).
4) The apk now installed on my Nexus S but I get this error when I opened it:
"Sorry, your phone is not able to use this version of Skype. To find out more about Skype on mobile, visit www.skype.com"
5) I looked through the code and found the offending text in com.skype.ui.SplashScreenActivity.class:
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
if (!f.a())
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry, your phone is not able to use this version of Skype. To find out more about Skype on mobile, visit www.skype.com", 1).show();
finish();
}
.....
I commented out the toast and finish() line and then recompiled and resigned.
6) The apk installs but crashes when I try to open it:

This is my progress so far and here is my modified apk:http://www.mediafire.com/?l6xddlun3u52ung
Does this enable the use of the back camera instead of the front?
For my wife's fascinate
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
@eyeburn : Thanks for the investigation.
Could you try to remove the " if statement " instead ?
I guess the shared library is not only for security, but we will see that later.
More updates. I looked at the SplashScreenActivity.smali code and removed this line:
invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/skype/merlin_mecha/ui/SplashScreenActivity;->finish()V
this basically disables the the exiting(the finish() in the code below) of the program during the verizon phone check.
Now the phone doesn't crash but just stays at the "skype mobile" splash screen with the skype background.
I'll look at this again tomorrow. Gonna sleep now.
Updated apk as of midnight Apr 12: http://www.mediafire.com/?eqgr111a7agg3qv
My current thinking is the app is stuck in this while loop:
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
if (!f.a())
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry, your phone is not able to use this version of Skype. To find out more about Skype on mobile, visit www.skype.com", 1).show();
finish();
}
while (true)
{
return;
Intent localIntent1 = new Intent(this, SignInActivity.class);
boolean bool1 = getIntent().getBooleanExtra("LaunchedBySyncAdapter", 0);
Intent localIntent2 = localIntent1.putExtra("LaunchedBySyncAdapter", bool1);
int i = getIntent().getIntExtra("PostLoginCommand", 0);
Intent localIntent3 = localIntent1.putExtra("PostLoginCommand", i);
String str = getIntent().getStringExtra("PostLoginDataUri");
Intent localIntent4 = localIntent1.putExtra("PostLoginDataUri", str);
ac localac = new ac(this, localIntent1);
monitorenter;
try
{
this.a = localac;
Handler localHandler = this.b;
Runnable localRunnable = this.a;
boolean bool2 = localHandler.postDelayed(localRunnable, 1500L);
monitorexit;
continue;
}
finally
{
localObject = finally;
monitorexit;
}
}
throw localObject;
}
}
I keep getting this messages on my logcat:

More likely, that you killed the login intent, which supposed to invoke login activity. You already have 'return' as the first statement of the while loop. The code in it's current state doesn't make sense to me. It should be an exist condition from the loop, otherwise the only way to exit the loop is via exception, which will effectively kill the application.

same conclusion here, but I assume this part of code is badly decompiled. There are several other while->true->return in this code.

Keep up the good work, a LOT of people will love you if you can get this to work on other phones like the Galaxy S.
Agreed keep up the good work....and Thanks
speaking as someone with a G Tablet, I really want this to work, so please take all the encouragement i can offer!
Keep up the good work.
Oh thank you.
Seriously, I posted about how somebody should modify this to work on all phones yesterday.
As for me, I'm getting "Sorry1, your phone is not able to use this version of skype"
(Wonder why it says "Sorry1")
I'm using a mytouch 4g with cm7 stable
Working on the same thing here on my EVO. I tried your APK but I don't get to the sign-in screen. I removed the same line from the AndroidManifest.xml file that you did so that it would install. I took a different approach and modified the VerizonNetwork and VerizonMerlin check to return 0x1 instead of 0x0 so that it gets by the Toast successfully and I get the sign-in screen. Now after I sign-in, the service crashes.

-Daryel
daryel - i tried it and the same happened to me, but there was nothing that said the app force-closed. it simply closed itself and that was that.
it looks like real headway is being made here. I will faithfully watch this until it is finished
oh the sorry1 was a debugging thing hehe.
so it is now crashing in com.skype.merlin_mecha.service.a
Looks to be failing some fingerprint checking. I guess this is where it verifies the phone.
I wonder which file this line is coming from:
I/StartSkypeKitOperation(17177): REMOVE THIS ONCE VERIFIED: appToken = KdXVSo6qB9
New Edit:
Ok the verification is done in com.skype.merlin_mecha.startup.SignInActivity.
I am speculating, the check and crash is in:
protected void onCreate(Bundle paramBundle)
Thanks guys, it looks like you are pretty close to the solution.
Finger crossed

Sorry but where is this Verizon check?
There are 2 .so missing.
if you look in a/a/a.smali you will find a ref to

And com\skype\a\c.smali has a ref to /data/data/com.test.java_surface/lib/libskype_jni.so

Here's how to use logcat:

(mind you, that's 29 lines out of 1300ish, just for example)
I then could do the following with logcat:
Code:
adb logcat WifiStateMachine:E *:S -v long > name of problem.txt
and this will only print out any errors associated with WifiStateMachine, and anything which is fatal, which makes it about a million times easier to figure out what's going on!
In WifiStateMachine:E, the :E = to look for Errors, the full list of options is as follows:
V — Verbose (lowest priority)
D — Debug
I — Info (default priority)
W — Warning
E — Error
F — Fatal
S — Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)
You can replace the :E with any other letter from above to get more info.
In order to filter out anything other than what you are looking for (in this case, WifiStateMachine) you must put a *:S after your last command (i.e. WifiStateMachine:E ThemeChoose:V ... ... AndroidRuntime:E *:S)

I said i am no expert. That doesn't mean i cannot take, read or understand logcat..!!

This thread is perfect to be a sticky in the Android Development Section.
Newcommers should know how to properly report bugs. I also leave a redirect in the Original Android Development.
I rather use ddms for all

Fro "noobs" it will be easier to use qtadb https://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/ , just download, install and run. Nice GUI for adb, contains access to logcat too.

Since android development and logcat is essential part to track problems and errors..
The three most important log types are:
logcat: the log output of the Android system
radio logcat: the log output of your System / BB / RIL communication
kernel log (kmsg / dmesg): the kernel messages
Additionally there's the last_kmsg which is a dump of the kernel log until the last shutdown.
The tool I made will make you able to do all of these in very friendly interface, and even you could do more,, So let's see how it is
How to use:
It is simple, just run AIO_Logcat_Manager.bat file.. I will explain every feature in next heading.
Walkthrough Features:
Splash screen:
The main screen:
In this main menu, you can choose the type of logcat you want,, All, Error, Fatal, Radio, Kernel... etc
Process logcat filtered by name menu (Option 9):
This is unique in my tool, where you can filter your result logcat for specific process name..
Example: assume you get this logcat
Code:

and you want to see MediaPlayerService process logcat only..!!
So here comes the useful feature of this tool, where you can filter the only process you are interested in..
Read Exported logcats (Option 10):
Here you can read all logcats you have exported to the output folder
Kernel logcats (Option 11):
This feature needs from the user to be rooted in order to access kernel logs..!!!
Here you have the ability either to read or to export different kernel log types..
Reading:
Exporting:
How to read your logcat:
Here is a useful thread written by @Stryke_the_Orc that will help you understanding your logcat files.

Future ADB engine update:
If ADB engine is outdated, you can download android SDK from official website here and extract adb, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from sdk\platform-tools folder and put in AIO_Logcat_Manager\tools folder.

Thanks for this man. Helpful to everyone! Maybe you could add an option in the future to read logcats already made from ADB. Just a thought if you don't already have it
If I may make a suggestion, it would be a great idea to possibly include something like logcat-color to make viewing of real-time logs a lot easier
Great tool by the way

Yeah sure.. but java coding is different from cmd; however it is possible, but it will be very very long scripting if I am using cmd for that. May be I will try to learn some java coding later on, but not in the mean time..
Thanks for suggestion :good:

I get this error: "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory" in the log file. Using ezaechiel TW ROM on a Galaxy Note 1. There's no file called 'main' in the folder '/dev/log/'
Any ideas?
Ok managed to get logcat to work, found '/system/etc/init.d/12cleaner' had
Code:
if [ -e /dev/log/main ]
then
rm -f /dev/log/main
Which I commented out and now it's working.

No, for the logcat to work, the system needs to at least start. You can probably grab a kernel log, but I don't think it will show you what you want.

Please advise...
You don't install it. The workaround to change sync settings is to use the gmail app to add an account and enter the same account information you already have setup and you will be able to update the sync settings.

You don't install apk's in /system/app/ you just put them in /system/app/ and after reboot start working.
Try to access AccountAndSyncSettings using 'NookColorTools'. If NCT does not allow access to these settings try using 'apktool' to decompile package and try to infer correct 'am start' command from the directory structure,filenames and code. Experiment with 'am start' using adb.
This is a Nook Simple Touch. NookColorTools sounds like something from the nook color?

If I understand you correctly, I need to:

3) enter the same account info i already have in there
I am unclear on how I access sync settings after that is done?

Add account shouldn't send you back to the inbox. It should work like this:
Open gmail
Open menu, click on accounts
Click on Add account button
Click on the big g on the Add an account screen
Click Next
Click Sign In
Enter your gmail username and password
Click Sign In
Now you should be on the Data & synchronization page with check boxes for Contacts, Calendar and Gmail. Check/uncheck what you want and click on Finish.
If add account continues to send you back to the inbox get a logcat when that happens and post it.

Do you have B&N apps disabled? If so, reenable and try again. B&N messed with the android authentication stuff and has their own account types. Since you aren't even getting to the page where you select the account type (Google and two generic android) I suspect it might be looking for disabled B&N account stuff and crashing.
The logcat isn't telling me much - is there anything earlier in the log of interest? /data/anr/traces.txt also might help but I'm not optimistic on that one.
Don't try digging the intent for am start out of the apk either as market tools like one touch sync settings have already figured that out and that's what they do.

It crashes android and restarts. I was wrong about it being a layout issue. Its a null pointer exception.

I'm pretty stock. Only rooted with NookManager and NTGAppsAttack. All B&N apps enabled. A few other apps installed but not too much. What kind of customization do you have? Maybe we can track down what makes it work on your device.
some answers...

OK, that's more helpful. It says you don't have an apk that handles the Add Account intent. It may have to do with your attempt to install AccountAndSyncSettings.apk from /system/app. Does AccountAndSyncSettings.apk still exist in /system/app? If so, try rebooting your NST and try the gmail work around again. If not, move it back there and reboot then try the gmail work around again.

Realunch won't see things in that folder. You need to use a file manager tat has an option to explore with root privileges like ES File Explorer. But the logcat you posted was what I needed so no need to post the traces.txt

Just an afterthought... should I use my NookManager microsd card to reinstall GappsAttack?

On my NST this command works fine because it starts the Gapps Sync_settings (I have NTGAppsAttack installed and configured)
other commands fail because nook does know which intent goes goes to Oobe.apk and which to Google account settings (I guess, based on ddms error messages).
Connect your nook via adb and run 'ddms' from your Android folder.
It specifically informs you when it is trying to run part of Oobe.apk or Gapps and when these commands generate errors.
Tonight I'll try to look closer to this problem.

Logcat shows the same thing. No apk to handle the android.settings.ADD_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS intent. It really sounds like your AccountAndSyncSettings.apk got mangled along the way somehow. Reinstalling NTGAppsAttack won't fix that as AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is part of the stock B&N stuff. A logcat from Android startup (package manager messages) could help pin down what's wrong with the apk you have but knowing that or not the fix would be the same. Either restore to prior to installing NTGAppsAttack and reinstall NTGAppsAttack. Or you could extract the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk from the B&N 1.2.1 update file, copy it to your /system/app folder, reboot and try the gmail workaround again. The first has the highest probability of success but the second isn't too much work and has a pretty good chance of fixing it.

On my NST this command works fine because it starts the Gapps Sync_settings (I have NTGAppsAttack installed and configured)
other commands fail because nook does know which intent goes goes to Oobe.apk and which to Google account settings (I guess, based on ddms error messages).
Connect your nook via adb and run 'ddms' from your Android folder.
It specifically informs you when it is trying to run part of Oobe.apk or Gapps and when these commands generate errors.
Tonight I'll try to look closer to this problem.

The SYNC_SETTINGS intent is handled by AccountAndSyncSettings.apk which is part of stock B&N and isn't installed by NTGAppsAttack. I think this has something to do with the B&N account stuff they patched into android. Seeing from your profile you're not in the US or UK do you even have your device registered with B&N? Not having a B&N account setup might be what's making your device work as sync settings won't be trying to display a B&N account in its list of accounts.
I have the same issue. I tried multiple ways and apps to get to the sync settings. but my nst just reboots at every attempt.

am start -a android.settings.SYNC_SETTINGS
It does not work or you have just missed something?
Got the command from decompiled "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk".
AndroidManifest.xml.
i tried this command in terminal app within nst. and it rebooted right away, after a brief pause.

my device is uk. just bought from argos last month rooted with nookmanager. one issue that i notice is that some dialog boxes display empty, possibly because foreground/background colours are same/similar. i can't remember whether i had this problem before rooting.
moving backward..

Logcat shows the same thing. No apk to handle the android.settings.ADD_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS intent. It really sounds like your AccountAndSyncSettings.apk got mangled along the way somehow. Reinstalling NTGAppsAttack won't fix that as AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is part of the stock B&N stuff.

ok. the second option did not work. so, i am trying to reset the nook and start over.
i erased and deregistered it. after reboot i went through the setup process. then i rebooted with my nook manager card and rooted. rebooted and all looks good.
then i rebooted with the nookmanager card to install gapps attack
after reboot, i am stuck at step 16. Go back to ReLaunch and open the Market
when i do this it shows me the license screen i hit accept, then i just get a server error.
gmail and contacts apps seems to be working fine. when i open calendar, it opens but there is an image of an sd card superimposed over the top of the calendar -- i dont remember it doing htat before. talk will not open, it just briefly flashes the screen and goes back to the applications in relaunch.
I have done this entire process several times now and the results have been exactly the same each time???
update: i just tried this with a new gmail account, and the results were the same...
as i have thought about this most of yesterday and today, it seems to me that something is not getting cleared / deleted in the reset process...
aug-12-13 update: i installed nook color tools, used it to uninstall the market update, rebooted, rebooted w nook mgr card, reinstalled gappsattack. no change...
i am not sure if this is significant, but i noticed something else that supports my theory that not everything is getting erased in the reset process. when i open contacts, my google contacts from my original gmail acct are still in the list even though, i deregistered/erased and used a different gmail acct when i did this yesterday...
back to my original question...
I understand that B&N has modified the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk on the nook to fence it in to their company.
Has anyone tried replacing the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk in their nook with one from another Android 2.1 device?
I assume this would break the B&N apps, but I wonder if it would enable apps that need to access that apk...
EDIT:
The problem was that i was trying to read a line from the inputreader, when there was no line, so it was waiting for a response there...
Hello,
I am currently building an app to fix a little problem that exists on some devices with the wifi-mac and bluetooth addresses constantly changing (for me it's a N4 but I read somewhere that there are other devices with that problem too)
The thing the app should do is (steps taken from another xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43164157&postcount=1 )
- Mount /persist
- create the folders wifi and bluetooth
- create a text file in each of these directories containing the addresses that should be used in future
- fix the owners and permissions of these files and directories
- execute /system/bin/conn_init as su
The app is mostly done but somehow not working at all.
Everything from generating random adresses to saving them in a temporary file seems to work fine, but as soon as I try to mount the persist directory, the app stops to react.
At first, this was the first thing done by the SU Shell class that I wrote for executing su shell commands, so I thought that might be not working, but when I let that execute echo test it returns test just fine...
The code that is used could be expressed like that (this is missing some debug info and strings that get passed, but it should technically have the same result):
Code:
try {
shell = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
outputStream = new DataOutputStream(shell.getOutputStream());
inputStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(shell.getInputStream()));
outputStream.writeBytes("mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /persist");
outputStream.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The attached zip file contains my main activity and the before mentioned su shell.
The complete source code of the app is available via my git server: http://greensserver.redirectme.net/greenchris/WiFi-MAC-and-Bluetooth-Adress-Fix.git
Does anybody have an idea why this isn't working?
Greetings
GreenChris
Edit:
I forgot to add the logcat...
