Easily Log Android devices with AIOLog Tool

If you are an average Android device user, the terms logcat and Kernel Version may sound like Greek to you. However, if you were to run into a technical problem with your device, for example, frequent crashes after updating to a new build of the OS, or a significant amount of battery drain, and you consult an expert or a developer on a community forum, chances are that you would be asked for a logcat . So what is a logcat?

Logcat is the command to view the internal log of the Android system. Viewing logcat is often the best way – and sometimes the only way – to diagnose a problem. XDA Senior Member wcypierre has released a tool called AIOlog, or All-in-one Log which allows users to grab the logs which  are most frequently used in Android development or advanced problem solving. The logs that AIOLog can pull include:

  • Logcat
  • Last_Kmsg
  • Dmesg
  • Kmsg

In addition to pulling the above logs individually, the tool can also be set up to pull all of them together, as well as tell you what your kernel version is. Like I mentioned earlier, this tool may not be of any use to you, if you are the average user who only sees what’s displayed on the screen  of your Android phone or tablet, but is definitely a handy and time-saving tool for those who spend most of their time trying to figure out what goes on behind the screen of the Android device. The AIOLog tool is completely open source, so other devs can modify the source and add more functionality or features.

In case you want to check the AIOLog tool out, or read up on what it can do, and how to operate it, you can visit the original source thread at XDA for more details.
