basically there is a tool called ADB that can pull the log file from the device once you have it connected to your laptop for example.

How to get an Android System Log

i can try to get you a log if you need one too from our cloud provider. i just need the exact device and OS version of Android and what build you want me to try

Sometimes there's a hardware issue that is specific to a single device or a device model that we can not reproduce in our office. In these situations we will need a system log from the device that is having the problem to try and figure out what is going wrong. These instructions can be used to create that log and send it to us.

1. Install your device driver

• Your device driver should install when you connect your device to the computer over USB. If it does not you may need to locate and install the driver from your manufacturer's website. Once you get to Setup the Log step 7 (6 for Mac) you will know if you need a different driver.
  
  ( For Samsung Note 8 I had to manually search the Web for the right USB debug driver. )

2. Connect your device

1. Plug in your device via USB to your computer

2. Go to your Settings app

3. Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Developer Options

   • If this option is not there then:

     1. Scroll down to the bottom and tap on About Phone (or Device)

     2. Scroll down to the bottom and tap repeatedly on Build Number

        • Stop once the message says you've unlocked Developer Mode

     3. Tap back

4. Make sure Android Debugging is checked

3. Setup the log

Windows

1. Download Platform-tools from Google

   • Windows - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r20-windows.zip

2. Create a folder in your C drive called 'adb'

3. Unzip the Platform-tools zip file to this folder

4. Press the win+r on your keyboard

5. In the run window type cmd.exe and press enter

6. in the CMD window type 'cd c:\adb' and press enter

7. Type '
   adb devices
   ' and press enter

   • This should write a line to the CMD window that says '009ab325109378df7e device' or something like that

   • If it says that there aren't any devices, then you need a different device driver

8. Type '
   adb logcat > android.log
   ' and press enter

   • This will just show the cursor (blinker) sitting on a new line (with no 'C:\adb' in front), blinking. This is good.

Mac OS

1. Download Platform-tools from Google

   • Mac OS - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r20-macosx.zip

2. Create a folder in your hard drive called 'adb'

   • This will be next to folders like; 'users', 'applications', 'system', etc..

3. Unzip the Platform-tools zip file to this folder

4. Go to the Utilities folder and run Terminal

5. in the Terminal window type 'cd \adb' and press enter

6. Type 'adb devices' and press enter

   • This should write a line to the Terminal window that says '009ab325109378df7e device' or something like that

   • If it says that there aren't any devices, then you need a different device driver

7. Type '
   adb logcat > android.log
   ' and press enter

   • This will just show the cursor (blinker) sitting on a new line (with no '\adb' in front), blinking. This is good.

4. Recreate the issue

1. Pick up your device

2. Open the your app to test

3. Take photos or do what every you need to in the app to create the error(s)

5. Finish up

Windows

1. Click inside of the CMD window on your computer

2. Press ctrl-c

   • This will stop the log

3. Open a folder on your computer and go to C:\adb

4. Attach android.log to a reply email for your open ticket

Mac OS

1. Click inside of the Terminal window on your computer

2. Press cmd-c

   • This will stop the log

3. Open your hard drive and go to the adb folder

4. Attach android.log to a reply email for your open ticket

Install Ubuntu server on your Android device

Pros:

1. No cost - just suggested donation
2. Full Ubuntu server runs anything on your phone ( including Hyperledger Fabric in theory )

Cons:

1. Many - root the phone
2. Complex install and support
3. May require phone factory reset deleting apps, data and encryption
4. Requires VNC server and client running to access Ubuntu desktop
5. Requires high-end Android phone on new version of Android ( at least 8 GB memory )
6. The Linux installer may be billable depending on which installer you choose
7. No guarantees on the stability of Linux on Android

In my case, I run Ubuntu in Oracle VirtualBox on a Windows 10 PC fine.

I allocate 6 GB memory to Ubuntu and that is more than enough to run Hyperledger Fabric in a developer environment

Developers - Run Ubuntu server on Android - Options

Using a pre-made Ubuntu image, your phone creates a running version of Linux. There’s not much installed and it runs on LXDE to make sure everything fits within the phone’s memory. However, it is very much a legitimate copy of Linux.

The catch is that you can’t actually see Linux when it runs. The process is contained within an invisible set of programs that is not visible above the Android OS. In order to actually see Ubuntu in action, you need to use a VNC server app.

Ubuntu on Android - Ubuntu docs

https://docs.ubuntu.com/phone/en/devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices

Warning - Do NOT use Ubuntu Touch option !! You want NORMAL Ubuntu and VNC access to the desktop

Warning: data loss of Android Apps, Data !!

Installing Ubuntu for devices deletes all data (including applications and data such as contacts, photos, and etc.) from the device.

An optional procedure is provided below that backs up the Android apps and data to a local file. There is no guarantee that a restore will succeed.

Warning: Must remove encryption and do Factory reset on phone !!

Warning: If your device is encrypted you must perform a full factory reset before installing ubuntu. This also will delete all data from the device, including apps and other data. You may want to create a backup first. You can perform a factory reset via the settings screen

H2S Media article - Install Ubuntu Server on Android Phone without Root privileges

https://www.how2shout.com/how-to/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-android-without-root.html

Are you looking for a way to install and run Ubuntu 18.04 Linux server on your Android Smartphone or tablet without rooting the phone? Then try UserLAnd.

Android, being a very popular operating system users are keep looking for a way to easily install different Linux distros on it. Hitherto, it was very tedious work to run Linux OS on Android but not anymore. With the help of UserLand, we can install Kali, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Debian like distros on Android in a minimal form. It provides built-in Shell and VNC sessions for a graphical experience. UserLand developed by the team of GNURoot Debian App which was very popular before, as a replacement.

Here we will show the way to install and run Ubuntu 18.04 minimal server on Android phone without any kind of rooting process. It helps you to learn Linux directly on your phone without voiding the warranty.

Note: The below-given steps also work for Debian and Kali Linux available in UserLAnd App.

Install Ubuntu Linux on android without root

Step 1: Download UserLAnd App

This app is available on Google Play store, here is the link to download it. There is no complications in its installation just like any other, open Play store on phone either use the here given link or search for UserLAnd and when appears, tap to install it.

Step 2: Run UserLAnd to install Linux OS on Android

The moment, the app opens, you will see multiple Linux distros options along with their logos such as KALI Linux, Ubuntu, Alpine, Arch Linux, Debian along with lightweight Debian based Desktops with Xfce and Lxde desktop environment. It also has some Linux development, games and productivity apps.  Well! here we are only about to focus on the process to run Ubuntu on Android.  Tap on the Ubuntu icon.

Step 3: Setup Username and Password for user and VNC

When you tap on the Ubuntu or any other Linux distros have given in UserLAnd, the first it will ask you to setup username, password and VNC password.

Type whatever you want and remember this will set as a standard user of your Android’s Ubuntu operating system. Once done, tap on the Continue option.

Step 4: Download Ubuntu for Android

The next thing which we need to select that how we would like to connect installed Linux OS Ubuntu on Android with SSH or VNC. I would like to use SSh which is simple and from the inbuilt terminal of UserLAnd, I can easily control my Linux operating system. We will also show later in this article how to use RealVNC to connect the existing Ubuntu, KALI or any other OS available on this Android application.

After that, it will say the files of Ubuntu to download on Android are of 80MB and would like to download it without Wifi, tap continue if you want to download them on mobile data. It will take a few minutes to set up all depend upon your internet connection speed.

Step 5: Login to Android running Ubuntu

After the installation, as we have selected the SSH in the beginning, a terminal window will open. Now here just like regular Ubuntu server enter the password you have created above for your Ubuntu image running on Android.

Step 6: Update and Upgrade  Ubuntu running on Android

Apart from the small screen and no init boot it is just like Windows 10 WSL, you will not feel any other differences on this Ubuntu Linux image, emulated on Android phone.

Thus, now we can use the keyboard to enter the command to our Linux. Let’s first update and upgrade all the packages of it. Run the following command

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 7: Set the root password for Ubuntu

As we know by default there is no password for the root user, so to set that use the following command:

sudo passwd root

Enter Unix Password two times that you want to set and it will be done…

Step 8: Install Linux Desktop Environment LXDE

By default, the OS will have only a command line interface and to give it some Graphical user interface, we need to install it manually. Here we are installing lightwieght LXDE for Ubuntu Linux to run GUI on Android phone.

sudo apt-get install lxde

Step 9: Setup VNC to access Ubuntu via GUI interface

Note: Running Linux GUI for Ubuntu on Android is not recommended unless you have high-end smartphone becuase it is laggy and also crash sometimes.

Well! still for the sake of tutorial I am telling you how to access and view installed LXDE Desktop on Ubuntu on Android.

sudo apt install tightvncserver

sudo vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080

sudo export DISPLAY=:1

startlxde &

sudo vncserver -kill

DONE!!

Technorms article - Install Ubuntu on Android with Complete Linux Installer tool

https://www.technorms.com/12451/install-ubuntu-on-android

Use Complete Linux Installer tool - a billable software tool

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid

With a root and a very large amount of storage space on the SD card, you can actually run a low-end version of Linux right there on your Android device. Seriously. This ingenious hack theoretically allows for several different versions of Linux, but we opted to go for Ubuntu. Believe it or not, it actually worked.

Install Ubuntu on Android

Background

Ubuntu can be installed on an Android phone by ingeniously linking two different apps within the same device. Fair warning: this hack is not intended for low-end Android phones. The app recommends at least 1 GHz of processing power. We also overclocked our phone with Tasker for the duration of running Linux.

Here’s what happens. Using a pre-made Ubuntu image, your phone creates a running version of Linux. There’s not much installed and it runs on LXDE to make sure everything fits within the phone’s memory. However, it is very much a legitimate copy of Linux.

The catch is that you can’t actually see Linux when it runs. The process is contained within an invisible set of programs that is not visible above the Android OS. In order to actually see Ubuntu in action, you need to use a VNC server app.

VNC (virtual network computing) is used for remotely viewing another PC over a network. You can use a basic VNC app to view the local OS, which in this case is Ubuntu. With those two apps linked together, Linux runs right there on Android.

Materials Needed

• A Nandroid backup
• A kernel that supports loop devices. Unfortunately, there is no way to check for this other than trying the installation. If you run up against a seemingly insurmountable wall, this may be the issue.
• Root access (duh)
• Busybox. Download the app Busybox Installer and use it to install the latest version of Busybox. You may have to run the installer twice to make sure that it really installs.
• Enable USB debugging. Go to Settings > Apps > Development and check the box for debugging.
• A solid Wi-Fi connection. You’ll download a lot of files, and it’s best to not do it over data.
• Storage space. The Ubuntu image requires 2.5 GB, but it’s best to have 3.
• A file browser app that can unzip compressed files. Astro File Manager does this and is free.
• VNCviewer
• Android Terminal Emulator
• Try Complete Linux Installer – Ubuntu Installer Free is no longer available.

Installation

The first step, as always before any serious Android hack, is to reboot into recovery and make a Nandroid backup. This step is absolutely critical and should never be skipped. If something happens and messes up your phone, that backup is the only safeguard.

Now open the Ubuntu Installer Free app. It will contain instructions as well for installing. Tap “Install Guide." Check that you’ve followed all the instructions listed and hit next.

In order to run Ubuntu, you need two critical files, the boot script and the image. The “large" Ubuntu image is an extra 1 GB but comes with more programs already installed. We chose the “small" one simply because you can always install more programs later. However, you will need the boot script no matter which image you pick.

Download these files. It will take a while, so find something else to do. Water a plant. Paint a sunset. Or just watch Battlestar Galactica reruns on Netflix. Guess which one we did?

When everything has downloaded, open up that file browser and create a folder labeled “ubuntu" (without the quotation marks) in the root of the SD card. Cut and paste the boot script and image into this new folder. Extract the contents of both files into /sdcard/ubuntu. This too will take a while.

Now exit the file browser and go to the Terminal app. We recommend switching off any sort of autocorrect feature you might have for your keyboard. Linux text commands are not grammatically correct by any stretch of the imagination and certainly did not play nicely with our autocorrect in Perfect Keyboard.

Type these commands (hit enter between lines and grant Terminal root access when it asks):

su

cd /sdcard/ubuntu

sh ubuntu.sh

Next Terminal will ask for your screen size. This can be found by searching “(phone model) specs" on Google. Our original HTC Evo 4G has a resolution of 800×480, so we input “800×480" (with no quotes) and hit enter.

A lot of text should scroll by at this point. If all works out, the text will end with a message saying “root@localhost:/#". This means that Linux is up and running. If it doesn’t say that, double check that Busybox is installed. We ran into that issue.

Congratulations! Ubuntu is now running. You may not be able to see it, but it’s running. The Terminal app now functions as the command line for the OS. The in-OS command prompt app does not work.

In order to actually see your brand new OS, open the Android VNC app. Set the IP address to localhost. The port number should already be 5900. Put in the password as “ubuntu" (no quotes). Skip the username section and set the color format to 24-bit color. Once all that is set up, tap connect.

Linux should now appear in all its LXDE glory. To exit at any time, type “exit" (no quotes, as always) into Terminal.

Life After Installation

The first and most obvious problem is that Linux is a desktop OS, definitely not something meant for touch screens. Tap menu and change the control scheme to touch pad, which makes the touch screen function as a basic mouse. The controls are by no means perfect, but they work.

To be honest, this hack works best on tablets. We really struggled to use Linux on our microscopically small phone screen. Even with an easy zoom function, Ubuntu is not easy to use. Side note: To input text, hold down the menu key. That brings up a virtual keyboard. However, we could easily see someone using a physical keyboard and a tablet with this hack in order to make a facsimile desktop PC.

Final Thoughts

It’s not too difficult to install Ubuntu on Android, and it’s certainly not the friendliest of OSes (even by Linux standards), but it is pretty damn neat. Not to mention that all the things normally restricted on mobile devices (like Hulu, The Daily Show and Spotify) are now fair game. No doubt hardcore geeks will find some creative uses for this hack.

Maketecheasy article - Install Ubuntu on Android with Linux Deploy

https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-ubuntu-on-android-linux-deploy/

Uses Linux Deploy a free Linux installer for Android.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy

It’s easy to forget that Android is a Linux-based operating system sometimes. But it is, and it retains some of that openness and flexibility that attracts people to the Linux platform.

As an example, you can actually install a full Linux distro on your Android device. We’ll demonstrate how to install Ubuntu on Android using an app called Linux Deploy, which will install the Linux desktop environment, but you can use this same method to install Debian or various other Linux distros.

Note: you’ll need to root your Android device before starting this process.

Install and Deploy Linux on Android

First, install BusyBox. This is a toolkit that unlocks your Android phone for various Linux commands that are essential to getting Ubuntu up and running. You won’t need to actively use this after installing it.

You’ll also need VNC Viewer, a remote desktop app that creates the window within which Ubuntu will run on your Android device. This is what you’ll ultimately be using to get Linux up and running.

Finally, you need to install Linux Deploy, which you’ll use to install Ubuntu (or one of several different versions of Linux, for that matter).

After installing Linux Deploy, open it and tap the icon with the three sliders (bottom-right corner).

Here you can select the Linux distro you want to install. (Just tap “Distribution,” then select the distro name – we went with Ubuntu.)

After that, scroll to the GUI section at the bottom, tap the “Enable” box and make sure “VNC” is selected under “Graphics subsystem.”

Once you’ve done that, you can also go into “GUI Settings” to set the resolution of Linux once it runs. Unless you have a tablet, the default 1920 x 1080 resolution on most smartphones is probably too high to practically use Linux, so we recommend lowering it to 1024×576 or 1152×648.

Finally, scroll back up about halfway until you find “User name” and “User password.” Make a note of them, or replace them with your own.

Those are all the settings you need to tweak. Go back to the Linux Deploy home screen, tap the three-dotted menu icon at the top-right and tap “Install.”

The installation may take from one to several minutes, depending on the speed of your smartphone.

Once it’s finished (denoted by the “<<<deploy” message at the bottom of the install log), tap Start at the bottom-left corner, then “OK.” Once you see the message “<<< Start” at the bottom of the log, Linux is deployed and running.

Run Linux on Android

But in order to actually see and use Linux, you need to use VNC Viewer. Open VNC Viewer, tap the green “+” icon at the bottom-right, then in the “New connection” box enter “localhost” as an address, and give the connection a name of your choice. (We went with “Linux.”) Click “Create.”

Tap the new connection in VNC Viewer to open it, and your Linux build should open up!

It won’t have anything installed on it by default, but you can go to the Terminal and sudo apt-get install various software like you normally would in Linux.

Conclusion

That’s it. You now have a fully functional Linux distro on your Android device.

If at any point you decide that you don’t want Linux any more, it’s not a case of uninstalling Linux Deploy. Instead, you’ll need to use a file explorer with root access (we used Root Browser), find the directory “/data/user/0/ru.meefik.linuxdeploy/env” and delete it. (You can change the default Linux install directory in Linux Deploy’s settings menu).

Apps that are privacy and security risks on a phone

If These Apps Are Still on Your Phone, Someone May Be Spying on You

which apps you trust with your privacy and which ones need to go. The bad ones are likely guilty of one these top mobile phone security threats.

Only get mobile applications from the legit stores,” he explains, referring to GooglePlay and the Apple store

checking how many reviews an app has before downloading it. Ideally, anything you add to your phone will have already been used and reviewed by thousands of other people.

CamScanner, an app meant to imitate a scanner with your phone, as one of the apps consumers should be concerned about. “Cybersecurity experts have found a malicious component installed in the app that acts as a Trojan Downloader and keeps collecting infected files,”

“Check your weather app,” says Shayne Sherman, CEO of TechLoris. “There have been several different weather apps out there that have been laced with Trojans or other malwares.”  OR access the weather app site from a Chrome browser

Facebook - “If you are looking for apps to delete to protect your information, the absolute worst culprit is Facebook. The sheer scale of their data collection is staggering, and it is often more intrusive than companies like Google. If you had to pick one app to remove to protect your data, it would be Facebook.”

Whatsapp - “The vulnerabilities with WhatsApp—both iOS and Android versions—allowed attackers to target users by simply sending a specially crafted message to their phone number. Once successfully exploited, the attackers would be granted access to the same things WhatsApp had access to, including the microphone, the camera, the contact list, and more.”

Instagram - Whatsapp and Instagram are both owned by Facebook, which is part of what makes them all a risk. Dave Salisbury, director of the University of Dayton Center for Cybersecurity and Data Intelligence, says that Instagram “requests several permissions that include but are not limited to modifying and reading contacts and the contents of your storage, locating your phone, reading your call log, modifying system settings, and having full network access.”

Facebook Messenger - “Deleting Facebook Messenger is a no-brainer, based upon the company’s frighteningly lax approach to protecting user privacy,” Tomaschek says. “The messages you send and receive using the Facebook Messenger app are not encrypted, meaning that all your messages are plainly viewable to any Facebook employee with the appropriate permissions.”

Flashlight apps >> READ the details in the store before you download on data permissions etc >> We bet you didn’t see this one coming. “Free flashlight apps are often of high cybersecurity risks,” says Harold Li, vice president of ExpressVPN, a consumer privacy and security company. “Many of these apps are free but ad-supported, and they often request permissions, such as audio recording and contact information, to apparently function properly. When users install these apps, they risk sharing their personal data with app developers who monetize the data by selling them to advertisers.”

Door Dash app -  when you open the app, you are sending your data to nine separate third-party trackers. This data includes information like your name, email address, and physical address, along with the make and model of your phone. Furthermore, Facebook and Google ad trackers are also being used by the app, which means that the two tech giants know every single time you open the app.”
