Remove READ_LOGS permission by popular demand.
This permission was added to enable developers to use Android Terminal Emulator to read their phone's log. Reading a log is handy when you're trying to debug a problem while not connected to a development computer. Unfortunately some people were uncomfortable with the idea of granting Android Terminal Emulator permission to read their phone's log. They worried that the log might contain sensitive information, and that Android Terminal Emulator might access this sensitive information and do something bad with it. Of course, Android Terminal Emulator does no such thing. It contains no code to access the log at all, it just requests the read-log permission in order to allow the pre-existing logcat command to work. Never-the-less, I am removing the feature, because it takes too much of my time to answer emails from worried users. Developers who still want to use this feature will have to build their own version of ATE without this change.
