[UTILITY][APP][WINDOWS] AndroidFileUtils | Grab the Logs you need! [v1312] - HTC Droid DNA

This is my first Windows App written in Visual C#. I've had no previous experience with this language (just C++ and Java) This was a blast learning how to code!
Pre-req's: You will need .NET 4.0 installed to work
You may need to install a different BusyBox version if it does not connect to device!!!
ADB not needed, comes packaged with AndroidLib.dll <- Embedded in application (thanks to regaw_leinad)
Does not work with Windows XP or lower
This app is for Windows that will quickly grab a:
-Logcat log : { Verbose, Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, App Force Close, Custom Filter }
-dmesg log
-last_kmsg log
To use this App effectively, you will need to grab the log AFTER the problem has occured!
Also will copy to your clipboard so you can just paste it to your favorite site or file!
Nothing fancy or elegant about this but it gets the job done! Help out our devs by getting them the Logs they need!
For screenshots check the screenshots tab at the top (DevDB Black Bar ^)
Credit also goes to @regaw_leinad for the AndroidLib.dll
Feedback is needed as this is my first Windows application!
Also, if anybody can come up with a better name for this app, I will gladly change it!
Credit goes to [insert xda-member handle here] for renaming this app to "[insert new name of application]"

Awesome, man! Just to let you know, you say that the user needs ADB to be installed for it to work, but AndroidLib actually has that built it. If you're really trying to access the adb binary itself, look for the ResourceFolderManager class in the library, and adb.exe exists at runtime in the "AndroidLib" folder.

Just tried out the application. Works great!
One thing that might help the user experience:
Look into using a BackgroundWorker or the async/await combination to process all of the logcat data. This will make it so the app doesn't freeze temporarily while it's collecting the data. Also, you could do that same thing on the application startup while AndroidLib loads it's resources and starts the adb server.

---

Oh and one more thing, I'm not sure you called the "Dispose" method on the AndroidController object when the app closes. If you haven't already, go ahead and put that in. It stops the adb server and frees up all resources used by AndroidLib
The only reason that I say this is because adb was still running after I had closed the program.

You mean this? Does it matter where in my code it goes?
Code:
private void Form1_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
android.Dispose();
}

Hmm, is that already in there? Maybe put it in the FormClosing event handler. Your code should work however.

Updated to v1200!
New options for easier to read logs!!!

If anyone could please test my Beta release and let me know if you have any issues with it Detecting the Device.
Thanks .torrented!

Downloaded beta dated today. I have my HTC Rezound plugged in as wired hotspot for PC, so I know the PC reads it, but application cannot find the device. Also tried with DNA plugged in, no go. Running Windows 7 with all the correct drivers.
The program has a huge window on my 1080p setup. it fills the screen and goes a little under my start menu.
Side note: Since it is a log grabbing program, wouldn't as name like "Android Log Master" be a better name?
Playing a little more with program. Tried running as admin, and now it will not go passed "warming CPU" been stuck there for 10+ minutes. attatched image for view of oversized window.
Edit: closed program and reopened under regular permissions (not admin) and the windows error window popped up. below code box is what the error entailed. is this normal?
Edit 2: now older version will not go passed "warming CPU". Window is fine though, doesn't go under start menu from being too large like beta.
Code:

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

No that's not normal, The problem I have is it freezes when I use my DNA, but works fine when I use my Nexus 7.
I really can't see what's going on here, that is really just strange. I wonder if it has anything to do with A/V?
Thanks for trying.

---

Update: ever since that error I cannot have the program start up (as admin or normal) without that error and app hanging, even with no devices hooked up. Tried with both HTC phones and the Motorola Droid X2 and none. Still get same error. I know I have .NET 4.0, the error log shows it is running with your loaded modules also. Both HTC phones are S-off, Rezound running stock hboot and DNA on ENG, though I do not think that matters.
Sent from my DNA using my mind.

---

Update! This program may not work if you don't have a good version of busybox installed to your device! I've installed with 1.21.1 and this program works correctly!
Edit* Added v1310!

---

two things really quick
1. is it ppossible to just have the app run busybox in the device via temp to stop that issue
2. i tried downloading the torrent and seeding it so it is readily available but download wouldnt start but thats ok

1)That could be possible I didn't have time to experiment before I left. I will when I get back home in a week, on vacation right now.
2)I don't think xda 's torrent feature works I just use direct download it's only like 2 megabytes (1mb compressed)
Does the application at least work for you?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium HD app

Re-worded my changelog, sorry I wish I was better at optimizing code. (After all that is what I am going to school for is a CS/SE degree)

Did not see the option, has this been tested on Windows 8.0 ? I have Busybox on Rails v1.21.1 installed on my Moonshine S-Off DNA. Running Santod's KitKat sense 5.5 rom. TWRP 2.6 Beta. When trying to run program it just sticks at the Warming CPU screen. Note: Windows 8.0 has .Net 4.5 installed and I have turned on all options.
I'm getting this error message....
