Yes I tried but the "truncated from the beginning" forbideen me from generating an meaningfull message within 160 chars. BTW with a simple example I saw that the exceptions goes directly on the trace, so I have to remove the printStackTrace. On the book, speaking about writing my own layout I see an example with a trivial MyLayout and a comment on the ignoresThrowable() method. I think the only viable solution is writing a custom layout.
