    Crash Log app

    Does anyone know of a good app to log system crashes/reboots? Since i've rooted & deodexed my phone i've been having random freezes and reboots, it would be helpful to have an app that logs these crashes and that could tell me which app causes the crash / reboot.

    Thanks!

    I have OTA 2.2, i'm pretty sure it's not the rooting or deodexing causing the crashes, more likely a faulty app. Either way i'd like to hunt it down and uninstall whatever is causing the "soft" reboots. i say "soft" because it won't boot me all the way to the motorola log, just to the boot animation.

    ^^ thanks man, but yeah i tried that app and it didn't help. From what someone else told me it's probably the theme i'm running conflicting with some of my other apps, gonna try switching themes regretfully.

    If its a kernel panic (kernel crash) that is causing phone to reboot you can look at /data/dontpanic/apanic_console which will be a text file that contains the last kernel panic log. But that usually just shows where the kernel blew up. Doesn't usually show what app, but it might.

    If you can duplicate situation or circumstances that the reboot occurs have had pretty good luck with attaching to phone with "adb shell" (usb cable to phone) and doing a:
    logcat -f /sdcard/logfile.txt

    Then you end up having a logfile that will persist through a reboot. The general system logfiles get cleared on a reboot so they don't usually do much good in troubleshooting. But by running logcat and piping the log file to the sdcard you often can see the last thing that occurred before the phone goes and reboots. Of course the above is only of use if you can duplicate the problem.

    In theory you can do the same think using connectbot and run the logcat command through a local connection through connectbot but I have found that often the connectbot/logcat app gets shutdown during the beginning of the OS crash and then you don't get a log entry.

    That's good information, esp. the adb shell command. I haven't had a reboot since i switched themes. I had the incognito theme installed and what would happen is when i would slide unlock my phone sometimes it would do a soft reboot. I have since switched themes and it hasn't done it yet!, so we'll see, but non the less it's good info for future problems. Thanks!
