Minimal ADB and Fastboot

Minimal ADB And Fastboot is an advanced tool that addresses Android developers who would like to tackle with rooting devices and installing CWM or TWRP. The direct advantage stems from the fact that you no longer need to keep the full package of the Android SDK on your machine.

Following the installation, you can open the app as a command when where you can now issue ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and Fastboot commands to your mobile phone. The idea behind the application is to provide you a more convenient method to use commands that allow you to install modified APKs directly from your PC or delete the one already there.

At the same time, the tool supports Fastboot commands, which can come in handy if you own certain versions of a Nexus or HTC phone, which tend to be sluggish. Thanks to the fastboot, you can flash signed and unsigned partitions (which may contain kernels, bootloaders, recoveries and other useful data) directly into the phone's flash memory.

Connecting to your device entails that you access the Settings and About section on your phone and then tab several times on the build number until the you get a message that you are now a developer. Afterwards, you need to access the Developer Options and Enable the USB debugging before you connect your phone to the computer via the USB cable. If all is done correctly, you should be able to see the device listed when you type in “adb devices” in the command window.

Minimal ADB And Fastboot is a tool that could come in handy for users with advanced technical knowledge and who would like to take full control of their Android smartphones.
