I will release the android version later this year when the next version of Cheese is ready.
Glad this is resolved. Also happy to see more and more engines appearing on Android!

Fyi Komodo 8 writes a log file if you want it to.
Regarding your engine, it will be welcome to Rapidroid list as soon as released. Thanks in advance.

I added the cleanup logs option exactly the remove all files generated by various engines (mostly crafty). I suspect you have a version where the option is greyed out though. Next version will add this functionality fully.

That is correct, that button is greyed out.

Next release will add this for you. In the meanwhile, the extremely annoying uninstall of log files as if there were engines is your only option unfortunately.

Thanks, also perhaps this should have been disabled by Jim when he compiled Crafty as majority of the users do not care about these logs. I cannot even find where these logs are located in my tab :). For now I limit testing against Crafty to around 50 games.

On a rooted device, you can go to \data\data\com.google.android.chess\eng folder and sort it with descending date. Then you can delete all logs at once. They will be displayed on top of the list. Do not accidentially delete the engines :-)

On a non-rooted (and developer enabled) device you can do it too through the shell.
