Description

Because Samsung's guys love change things, there is no log with `'Start proc...'` in the GS4's logcat (and probably other samsung's devices).

So the regexp `PID_START` does never match and so there is no ouput when launching pidcat.sh on a GS4.

I tried to find the corresponding translation but failed.

I understand if you don't want to fix that issue, it's so boring... I just wanted to point it.

Research direction

Start with pidcat.sh and the PID_START regexp, then inspect the logcat output described for the GS4 to determine what replaces the missing 'Start proc...' line. Reproduce the no-output behavior on a GS4 and verify that pidcat.sh produces application logs after the matching logic is updated.
