[Guide] How To Logcat - Galaxy Note 3 General

[Guide] How To Logcat - Galaxy Note 3 General

I think this one is definitely needed for this forum as i am seeing more and more users ask how to logcat. So posting this here.
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))
From Moscow Desire:
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)

Though not pure your own work, but noobies will need it, especially to send a log back to devs to know what is the problem.
And it's a good thing to share here.

OpenVPN
Please don't retire this! people haven't stumbled on it but this is great!
The #1 reason most people root their phones even when they don't want to!

Thank you very much. I was using the one in cm7 and worked perfectly. Is there any plans to port it to cm9, this is the most missing feature for me in cm9. Thank you.

Waiting for password authentication.
Nice work anyway!

Sure, I'm still working on it, it will be done soon. And I need to setup a test openvpn server first.

I can provide an OpenVPN connection (username and password) if required or it's too much work building a test server.

I have already completed it, still thanks

Seems to be an issue with using the tls-auth option. It ignores the file even though the path is correct.

I haven't test this feature before, maybe I should migrate this with the new keystore API.

can't select trusted CA
When I select my CA nothing changes so I'm not sure if it registers the certificate in the connection.
When I hit connect the icon flashes in the notification area and disappears.
I have tried the CA certificate in both .pem and .crt formats
Log says: No log.
Am running CM9 on AT&T Nexus S.

config request
Hi! Thanks for your great work!!!
Could you please add a simple checkbox in the connection settings to make the option "--ns-cert-type server" optional?

Both .pem and .crt is pem format, where the content should be enclosed between "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----", you can use any text editor like notepad to check it.
I'll make the error message more verbose and accurate. Before that, can you use `adb logcat` to check if there is any error message ?

I know they are the same but for some reason the android store will only load .crt files.
The certificate begins and ends as mentioned.
I will try to run a logcat tomorrow.

I have fixed 'Extra arguments' option in 0.9.1, please update and you'll be able to specify custom options.

I have a working OpenVPN server with PCs and Android devices connecting to it.
Here is the situation with ICS.
I have installed this OpenVPN for a friend running ICS Midnote 3.3 for his Samsung Galaxy Note. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work, the logs does not display anything. It goes on stating its preparing and does not do anything else.
I tried forcing it to write any logs by supplying log /sdcard/openvpn/log.txt under the parameter section.
My currently VPN settings include.
Ca.crt, username and password. No keys are supplied.
To isolate things, I tried it with DroidVPN client, which works but is painstakingly slow.
You assistance is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Double checked and there were a few characters before "begin certificate ". Removed them and the certificate loads(the app should ignore any text before/after those words). Still wouldn't connect and nothing in the log.
Just tried 0.9.2 and the log now says:
1335355150,D,MANAGEMENT: CMD 'state on all'
1335355150,D,MANAGEMENT: CMD 'hold release'
1335355150,D,MANAGEMENT: CMD 'username 'Auth' "xxxxxx"'

It seems that it doesn't work and I'm not clear about what the issue is. I'm using user+password authentication.

Maybe you know why the alias==null happens.

Seems there are still some problem when user certification is not set. I'll figure it out soon.

This is what I got now after installing the new version. The application doesn't stay in the notification bar as before and it seems there is no connection to the OpenVPN network.

Nothing interesting in dmesg.
EDIT: re-flashed rom and fixed, but still, I'd to know what happened.

It starts some process during boottime, and just waits for it, and never actually boots, because it is waiting for a response. No errors reported anywhere.

Ok I'm compiling a Carbon build now with a modified vendor file. I removed the -z option, not sure what -z did but it doesn't seem to be compatible with Carbon or PAC. Hopefully it deosn't keep the device from blowing up. Compiling with make clean so could take a while.

[SOLVED][Q] WiFi won't turn on

All of a sudden, on Stock + Root TF700T, WiFi won't turn on. I highly doubt that this is related to my WiFi router ... the WiFi won't even enable on the tablet, and I can't even see a MAC address in About Tablet section.
I also did some digging and have some additional detail, but I cannot find a solution.

Does anyone have suggestions on where to go next? Did my driver somehow get deleted, or am I just not looking for the right thing?
Thanks.

I will use this question in the future as an example of how to ask for support properly. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you, but you could check the files in your /data/misc/wifi, maybe you can find something unusual. Your MAC address should come from some file on the FAT filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 - I'd recommend making an image of it as a backup and then analyze the image.

I provide Enterprise-level support to software devs working in the Cloud and particularly on CentOS/RHEL Linux servers. This is why I know how to ask for help properly.
Well, since I can't find much, and there aren't any definitive answers here, my next thoughts are:
1) Something is seriously jacked up on the filesystem, possibly corrupted driver, possibly something worse. Hopefully, this is the case, because a software problem is possible to fix.
2) The WiFi radio is permanently damaged, or "burnt out".
In the hopes that it's something more like software, I'm going to reimage. I just need to decide what ROM to use. Not having network connectivity will make the prep for this a bit more challenging, but I can work through it using a MicroSD card.
If it's #2, well then I suppose I will have wasted my time reimaging and will be on the market for a new tablet ... and I need to get on that right away because I need to travel soon. Any suggestions are welcome ... I'd like a 9" or 10" tablet and it must have an HDMI out (micro preferred) and be able to handle 1080p video.
Thanks.

[SOLVED]
I am having a heckuva time even doing what I described above.
-I had never unlocked the bootloader before, so when I tried the ASUS unlock util v8, it gave error "INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE"
-I tried the ASUS unlock tool v7, and was finally able to install it but when I run and select Unlock I get an error that there is no network connection (FFS that's what I'm trying to resolve!)
-I can't get into recovery, I just get the Android guy with "ERROR!" when I enter fastboot and select "RCK".
My only option is to go back to Stock. So, I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
The steps in that post result in the same Android guy with the "ERROR!" screen ... not a very helpful error msg.
So, I tried this, and used the stock firmware from ASUS. (NOTE: I downloaded "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T Firmware: V10.6.1.14.10 Only for US SKU (Android 4.2.1)" directly from ASUS after I read their notes on where to check for which one you need ([Settings]-->[About tablet]-->Build number).):
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...e-firmware-tf700-tf701-tf300-tf101-tf201.html
From that post ^^ I did Method B: Flash from MicroSD. I extracted the .zip I downloaded from ASUS, and renamed the new zip EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip per the GUIDE linked above.
I put in my MicroSD, went back into fastboot, and selected "RCK". It was at this point that I began typing the above. Total time to get to this point was about 90 minutes!
-----
FINALLY, for the first time, I saw a progress bar under the Android guy, and he had gears turning in his belly.
*INSERT SIGH OF RELIEF HERE*
As I was typing out all the above, progress bars were moving, and a few reboots happened. I expected that I would be fully back on Stock ROM, and that my data would have been wiped. I never ran a data wipe, I just assumed the ASUS installer would do that by default.
Well, it didn't wipe data. But, what it did do: restore all my device drivers!! After about 10 minutes, and 2-3 reboots, Android loaded with my existing desktop and settings, and the WiFi connected right away!!
So, this fixed it. I documented the above so anyone (even me, months from now) having a similar problem might be able to use these steps.
WOO HOO!

lost root
I should add that I lost root now. I think at this point, after all I've been through with this, I'm just going to press on and install CyanogenMod which is what I was planning to do anyway.

How to make an old app work on android pie?

I would like to know what I need do for an old app to work on Android Pie and how can I do that too.
The developer abandoned the app but it is very useful to me. In my last smartphone (android Lollipop 5.1.1) the app worked well but in my new smartphone (android Pie 9) it installs but when I open it immediatlly is showed a message that it stoped and need to be closed.
I use "APK Easy Tool v1.56 Portable" to edit apks but I don't know what exactly to do.
I thought that was about this message: "This app was built for an older version of Android and may not work properly. Try checking for updates, or contact the developer."
So, I changed the API version to 28 and the message disappeared but the stop and close app problem continue.
Thank you for any help.

Did you boot to recovery and wipe the cache partition after installing the modified app?
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it is very close, you just need to modify the method a little to go from Lollipop to Pie the way this video describes going from Oreo to Nougat. What you want is to port your older app to work with newer android instead of porting a newer app to work with older android as the video describes.

Thank you for answer me but my smartphone isn't root and haven't options on recovery boot mode.
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it is very close, you just need to modify the method a little to go from Lollipop to Pie the way this video describes going from Oreo to Nougat. What you want is to port your older app to work with newer android instead of porting a newer app to work with older android as the video describes.

I saw the video.
Like I said, had already changed the API version to 28 using the "APK Easy Tool v1.56 Portable" and editing the apktool.yml file on lines:
PHP:
sdkInfo:
minSdkVersion: '26'
targetSdkVersion: '28'
Both lines had number '8'.
Even so, as explained in the video, I downloaded and installed the Apk Editor PRO app and following step by step, changing "Minimum SDK Version" from 8 to 26 and "Target SDK Version" from 8 to 29, but the same problem continues.
When I press the app icon, it not open and is showed this popup message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, only change the SDK version isn't solving.
I don't know if structure of folders or anything else is different between apps for Lollipop and Pie that block to be installed, because I have 2 others old app that I installed and despite the old app alert message they are working rigth.

There is a PC version of APKtool that can be used to modify the apk file, you don't need root or apps that use root or custom recovery to achieve this.
Yes, each android version has slightly different partition structure, you need to edit the apk file so that it references the correct partitions/folders and files to find and use the other software resources on your devive that it needs.
You just need to modify the apk file then transfer it to your phone's internal storage then install it using your phones file manager app. You will have to enable the "unknown sources" setting in system settings.

That is the point.
I think some questions need to be answered to resolve this issue:
1- What is really happening to block, to stop the application from running?
2- What needs to be changed in the application?
3- How can changes be made?
4- This webpage content could help?
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0-migration
5- There is some windows program where an android app can be installed, choosing the sistem android who do you want to install it (lollipop, marshmallow, Pie, etc), and is showed the app errors that to be fix for it work on the android version choosen?
Thanks for any help.

I tested the apk in virtual android of webpage https://appetize.io/ and it worked in virtual Android 6.0, 7.1, 8.1 until on android 10. Only android 9.0 didn't work. I don't belive that. Seems a joke.
On android 10, after install, is showed the permission screen asking to give it to the camera and the storage. After press "next", the app is open and works right. I tried changing the permissions on Android 9 but didn't work to make the app opening.
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
This app was created to SDK 8 (android 2.2 - Froyo)
I don't know if that can be help but below I pasted the debug log of there. I simulated in Android 4.4, 9.0 and 10, to serve as comparison between the android versions. In 4.4 and 10 versions worked, but didn't on 9 version:

hello, you have source code or just apk? seems it has a bug appears as it's db sql excute on android 9. may be it doesn't adapter android 9.
if you are a developer and you have the source code(only apk can use decompile tool get a project code), you can fix it, but if you are not a developer, may be contact to the owner developer is the only way to help you!

@walker ice
Hi.
Thank you for answer me.
I am not a developer. I am "curiousloper" (curious + developer)... kkkk.
Well... I have only the apk. I spoke with the app developer (company) and they said that this app was abandoned a long time ago.
This app is a barcode reader that I use to pay my bank slips.
The app is installed in mobile and the server program in windows.
When the app read the barcode, it send that to PC where cursor was marked, in this case to my internet bank page.
I tested others apps similar but they read wrong the barcode.
I used the "APK Easy Tool v1.56 Portable" for window to decompile the apk. I changed the SDK to 28 but the issue continues.
I saw in some posts talking about the possible problem with data base bank on android pie and to rename the file adding .db in the end would solve but I did it too and no worked to me.
I searched for a solution but I didn't find.
Can be in my face but like I am not a developer, I cannot see the solution.
I don't need that someone do it for me.
I only need someone that look the apk and tell me what I should to do, what I need to change in apk to do it works on android pie.
I want to learn how to do.

Perhaps the app has two or more android projects.
Would you like to ask the app developer for the source code as the company has abandoned this app?
If you have the source code, you can check and modify it with ease in Android Studio by yourself.

Sorry. Duplication of post.

Of course yes.
Only to have an idea, I had to access the webcache (https://archive.org/) of the developer page of 2011 to download the apk file and the server program for windows. So, I upload the zip file to gdrive:

hello robrazil, after I have a try, event decompile, it still have many crash for the project is too old(like some library of it, as zxing...) and the owner's progurad do well, so may be only the owner can help you but if they abandon it will be very hard to make it work in android pie. Sorry for not being able to help you

I appreciated your help.
What I don't understand is how is that works on Android 5, 6, 7, 8.1 and 10, but only 9 not ?
I used the virtual android on website https://appetize.io/ to test the installation and to open the app in each android version, and only in the PIE version it not opened.
What the PIE version has so different of others versions, including the 10 ?
Because the app open on the version 10 too.
For now, I am using the app in my old smartphone with Lollipop android.

android pie add some "Non-SDK interface restrictions" may effect the there part method, and it's update in android 10 as google introduct below:
"To help ensure app stability and compatibility, the platform started restricting which non-SDK interfaces your app can use in Android 9 (API level 28). Android 10 includes updated lists of restricted non-SDK interfaces based on collaboration with Android developers and the latest internal testing. Our goal is to make sure that public alternatives are available before we restrict non-SDK interfaces."
so may be android the app not work in android pie, it cause by the Non-SDK interface restrictions.

About API or SDK/kernel or "Non-SDK interface restrictions", it has nothing to do with the old lines below, of apktool.yml file that I changed to
PHP:
sdkInfo:
minSdkVersion: '26'
targetSdkVersion: '28'
Has it ?

I'm not sure that editing the apk to change those lines isn't quite enough. I would say that you'd have to recompile the apk using the needed SDK version so that the apk itself is compiled correctly for that SDK version.

Thank you for answer me.
Well... if decompile the apk, to change the "minSdkVersion" and the "targetSdkVersion" informations to 26 and 28 respectively and recompile the apk again is not "recompile the apk using the needed SDK version", so, what means exactly "recompile the apk using the needed SDK version" and how can I do that ?
Where can I find something about "recompile the apk using the needed SDK version" to do that ?
