DumpViewer
DumpViewer is an on-device logcat / dumpsys viewer.
Build

Installation
DumpViewer requires some development permissions in order to read logcat and dumpsys.
To install, pass the -g option to adb install to give the needed permissions:
adb install -r -g DumpViewer.apk
# More precisely:
adb install -r -g ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/data/app/DumpViewer/DumpViewer.apk
Alternatively, you can grant the permissions with pm grant:
pm grant com.android.dumpviewer android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
pm grant com.android.dumpviewer android.permission.READ_LOGS
pm grant com.android.dumpviewer android.permission.DUMP
TODOs
- Add UID / PID lookup
- Add color on logcat (by severity)
- Auto-shrink the header.
