READ_LOGS permission on Jelly Bean (api 16)
Since Android Jelly Bean doesn't support the logs reading permission (according to this google io 2012 video and this one too ) , i would like to know if it's possible for rooted devices (or non-rooted devices) to be able to bypass this restriction and be able to read the logs. How do i do that? Do i really need to make the app a system app, or is rooting enough?
