Log files are special files created by the Android system and installed app. They contain important information that can help us identify the cause of the problem you’re experiencing and find out the best solution for you.

 

For most cases you can record logcat inside GG:

Start GG, Press "fix it" button, select "record logcat", wait for restart gg, reproduce issue, close gg, sent logcat file to me.

 

If GG crash or you not able record logcat via GG, or GG not get root, you must use third-party apps for this:

 

You need to record the logcat using any program that can record logcat during the issue.
I mean record logcat! Simple, one moment save of the log is not enough!

All programs require root on Android above 4.1! Therefore, if you do not have root, you can not even try, the log will not contain any useful information!

  • aLogcat

  • Ghost log


 

Spoiler (If your device freezes or reboots)

If the device hangs or is overloaded, it is necessary to remove a log on the computer by connecting the usb cable device.

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Run the following commands:

Code
c:\adb\adb.exe logcat > c:\adb\logcat.txt

3. Reproduce issue / run desired action.
4. After finishing playback, return to the console, press Ctrl + C, to stop recording.

5. You go for the stored path ( c:\adb\logcat.txt ), find a file, send it to where it is necessary, preferably in the archive.

 


In such cases (hang or overload) is sometimes more useful to log the core system, through the same adb:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Run the following commands:

Code
c:\adb\adb.exe shell
su
cat /proc/kmsg

3. Reproduce issue / run desired action.
4. Copy the contents of the console in a file (right-click on the title bar - change - mark - highlight the text with the mouse - press of Enter - insert into a text file), and refer the request at the place.


 

Spoiler (via command line / terminal)
If you are a lover hardcore command line, logcat, you can get there.
Open the command line in any way:
From a computer by connecting the device as usb:
Start -> Run -> cmd -> cd /d c:\adb\ -> adb -d shell
On the device, through any terminal, such as:
Android terminal
In the terminal, write:
Code
su
logcat > /sdcard/somefile.txt

/sdcard/somefile.txt Where is the path to the file which will log.
Then we reproduce the error.
After finishing playback, return to the terminal, press Ctrl + C, to stop recording.
Log take away from the specified file to the archive pack and where to send.

 

If you do not have root, then you can get logcat only through adb:
From the computer, connecting the device to usb: (it is assumed that adb.exe you have in the folder c:\adb\)
1. Press Start
2. Choose Run...
3. cmd
4. cd /d c:\adb\
5. adb -d logcat > c:\1.txt
After reproducing the problem, close the console window and take the log from c:\1.txt - sending out who needs and where it is necessary.

It is Android 7. Speedhack can not work on it.

And I see strange "Permission denied" in log. May be you have problems with root.

Not all games can be speedhacked. Try tune speedhack as described here: https://gameguardian.net/forum/topic/14228-how-to-config-speedhack-how-to-report-a-problem-in-speedhack/

My device is rooted. I don't know why have this line. My device OTA to android 7, so i can't run hackspeed heroes charge. Did you have any solution for this error. Thanks you.

Root can be different. On your root not enough right in some cases. It can be cause of some problems.

I do not have any solution.

My advice try another root and/or play with speedhack settings as I mentioned above.

May be you need disable SELinux.
