How to Save Logcat Using MatLog
You will need to perform the rooting method, and many people prefer to use SuperSu and Magisk. You can choose anything according to your wish. If your device doesn’t have access, check details on the XDA Developers forums for more advice and necessary pointers.
Once that happened, you can follow the given instructions:
- Open the MatLog, and make sure to provide root access.
- Go to the Settings or Menu section and click on Clare.
- Again, Enter into Settings >> File >> Record (type new file name or leave it as default)
- Now, you have to hide the MatLog App.
- Following this, you have to reproduce the crash or issue
- Go back to the Matlog and stop the recording.
- Finally, the log file will be stored in the catalog>> saved_logs inside the file manager.
You can extract the log file and easily share it with the developer. If you want to post those logs online, we suggest enabling the Omit sensitive info option from the settings menu.
Note: Extracting the logs is a highly difficult task if your device is not rooted yet. You can use the logcat command line tool using the ADB. Here’s the guide to do so.
