If you're using the adb logcat could pipe it through grep and use it ' s inverted matching:from the grep manpage: V,--invert-match invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines. For example: $adb Logcat|grep--Invert-Match' Notshownmatchpattern ' You can extend the this by using regular expressions. Example of such an expression: "/^(?:emails|tags|addresses)" This one would check for either of the given to occur, grep would and not list them.

Filter out log information for the specified tag

^ (?: TAG1|TAG2|TAG3)

Ignore log information for the specified tag

^(?! TAG1|TAG2|TAG3)

For example, I would like to ignore the log message containing "Surfacetextureclient" or "Trace" in the tag, which can be configured in the Filter by log tag option "^ (?! Surfacetextureclient| Trace) "
