How to get logs

###General###

There are two kind of restarts:

1. Android restart
2. Kernel restart

The difference is that you will / will not see the kernel logo. This is important for the kind of log needed.

###Prerequisites###

1. Android Debug Bridge (Linux: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb)
2. BetterBatteryStats

###Logs###

• Android log: adb logcat -d or use an app like CatLog
• Last kernel log: adb shell su -c 'cat /proc/last_kmsg' (see also the remark below)
• Current kernel log: adb shell su -c 'dmesg'
• Battery usage: BetterBatteryStats: Menu > Dump to File
• Paste the logs on pastbin or a similar service, like gist
• Create/update an issue and provide the link to the pasted log

If you had a kernel crash (reboot), try to capture the log in recovery before starting Android again.

• adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg

If you want to get the logs on your device, open a terminal, type the su command and:

• Android log: logcat -d >/sdcard/logcat.txt
• Last kernel log: cat /proc/last_kmsg >/sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
• Current kernel log: dmesg >/sdcard/dmsg.txt

###Advanced###

If you enable adb over Wi-Fi on your device, you can get the Adroid log over Wi-Fi by connecting to your device like this:

adb connect IP:PORT
