One unpretty way to dump any text from Android is to use the [uiautomator](https://web.archive.org/web/20240409074616/https://telegra.ph/uiautomator-04-09) command with adb. All displayed text fields, even shortened ones, are dumped to XML.<code>adb shell -- uiautomator dump<br><br># Have bookmarks page open a bit<br><br>adb shell -- 'grep -Eo '\''text=.[^"]+.'\'' /sdcard/window_dump.xml'<br></code>

Rinse & repeat for each folder / app. (Hey, it works!™)
