<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider.permission.WRITE_LOGS" />

Answer 1

• READ_CALL_LOG -- Allows an application to read the user's call log.
• READ_LOGS -- Allows an application to read the low-level system log files

The first one is mostly specific to phone calls, while the second one is for any and all usage of the device.
