That's not the real problem though.  Reading the logs was never the
right way to customize the behavior of the device to the current
running activity - it was at most a crude workaround.

The real "problem" is that android is designed with the idea that apps
should not alter the system's behavior on each other, and has
extremely limited mechanisms for recognizing "special" apps that would
be permitted to do so.

While a real solution for that is long overdue, it's also a much more
complicated design conversation than the topic at hand.
