GET LOGS!

[djsubterrain]

There are a lot of roms in these forums, a lot of devs also, if you experience an issue while using those roms then you will most likely post the details in those threads, in order for a dev to correctly diagnose the issue they really need to have logs from the phone to see what's going on.

I've uploaded a script that will do it for you:

Download script here

Just unpack the zip file and either double click the "getlogs.bat" file or open an elevated command window (hold down shift and right click inside the folder then click on in this Open command prompt window here) folder and run the same script.

It will output 4 logs as follows, they will have a datestamp on them as well to help devs track version issues :

Logcat
Radio Logcat
DMesg Log
KMsg Log

Those are the four that any dev should need for any issue. Once you get the logs output you should then be able to attach them to posts here.

If you've never used any sort of ADB commands with your phone you may get a popup on your phone asking for permission to do so, you need to accept this in order for the script to work, feel free to right click the batch file and edit it to see what it does.

Once the log files have been output to the dated folder they will then also be added to a dated zip file to assist in uploading to either XDA or attaching to Google+ posts to assist developers.

If you are experiencing an issue while performing some action, please try the action shortly before getting the log so the results are shown without the dev having to search too deep into the log.

I've also just compiled an exe version if you find it easier just to run a program:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224410927

It does exactly the same as the script version, just compacted into an exe format. If you don't trust it then feel free to continue using the batch file.

EDIT: Fixed it, now it'll spit out the logs and the zip file into a dated sub folder.

Adapted it to Linux

Also printf should replace echo. Idk about Windows but all new applications should start using printf and not echo

Hmmm...Can't check it, I'm at work and AFH is blocked, will check it later, mebbe AFH didn't like an exe being hosted, I'll zip it up and provide another link if that's the case.

@ djsubterrain If I have a random reboot, can I just run this script after the system has booted again?
If I do that is the info what caused the random reboot included?

Great work.

The exe file doesn't work ,it says "This program was made with an Unlicensed compiler. Please buy the PRO version to distribute your EXE." @djsubterrain

Great work.

No, it has to be run during the random reboot

My approach to this would be to do something like

while true;
do
dmesg >> /sdcard/log
done

Or

tail | dmesg >> /sdcard/log

But the tail method doesn't work for me
