I've read in a few threads which required the use of terminal/fast boot.
What exactly is this? Can anybody point me to a guide/tutorial on how to use it?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. - I am a newbie in playing around with the Android system.

Terminal basically allows you to run certain commands directly on your device rather than having to be coupled to your pc.
Android Terminal Emulator
Description
This application lets you access your Android's built-in Linux command line shell. It emulates a Digital Equipment Corporation VT-100 terminal. You can use this application to run utility programs on your device.
What is this app good for?
This application lets you run Linux command line utilities on your Android phone. It is mostly useful for computer programmers. It might also be useful for people who want to explore the Linux internals of their Android phone.

EDIT: Wrong FORUM. Please move to EVO 3D Dev forum please. Sorry for the trouble.
For the past few days I've experienced issues while trying to use DDMS and ADB within Eclipse while connected to my EVO 3D. It attempts to connect and then fails.
Doing a regular command line adb works great.
After doing some hunting I discovered that the ADB for windows can't handle more then 64 active processes.
As our EVO3D's support much more memory then other devices we can also handle more then 64 active processes.
Here is a link to the Android googlecode issue report which contains a patched adb that supports > 64 active processes.

Just wanted to share this with other fellow developers in case they were also experiencing the same issue.
When it comes to Android modding, most novice users are confused or left wondering by reference over reference to a certain “adb”. This is specially true when you are looking up something on modding your device, or root it in particular. ADB is the wonder toy of Android and everyone seems to love it, so lets have a look at understanding what it is and why you need it, and how you can get it.
What is ADB
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge. It comes as a part of the standard Android SDK, which you can grab here. Basically, it provides a terminal-based interface for interacting with your phone’s file system. Since Android platform is based on Linux, command-line is often required to perform certain advanced operations on your device using root access.
While these things can be done directly on the device itself using some terminal emulator, it will be rather difficult to execute complex commands on such a small screen. ADB provides the bridge between your machine and your computer.

Hello everyone!
I have what I consider to be a slightly more advanced question regarding a particular command. The creator of Xposed implemented an option called "Optimize Apps" in his Xposed Installer app. The command is as follows:
Code:
cmd package bg-dexopt-job
The original post to this can be found below:

This was introduced in Oreo, and I'm curious if anyone knows if this can still be run on Android P and eventually Q? Or was this more of a Oreo/Nougat related thing?
I've tried doing some research on this command and although I've understood the gist of it, I can't figure out how to translate to how it could benefit the user with day-to-day use.
I don't really notice app performance degradation, but I occasionally run the command via Terminal or a Run Shell in Tasker just to see if I could get a bump in performance, even if it's slight.
I'm just not sure if it's pointless/obsolete as of Android P and beyond, or if newer versions of Android are already optimized enough.
Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Anyone?
Hi all,
Apparently, this adb command is to forward a specific port on the host (namely, some laptop) to a specific port on the device (eg. your android phone), if my understanding is correct.
What does 'adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080' command do?
While working on Android development, I have come across the command adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080 many times. What does it actually do? and why 8080?

Ultimately, is it to execute commands on laptop, so that these commands would be effective on your android phone? Or in other words, the commands typed in your Command / Cygwin window on laptop could be forwarded to your android phone?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

It connects a port on the host device to another port on the secondary device then forwards all commands from the host port to the secondary port.
1. It maps a port on host device ( here: PC ) to a port on Android device.
2. Port 8080 is typically used as proxy and caching port. It's also above the service port range. Port 8080 also can run a Web server as a nonroot user.
I use a Raspberry Pi as a home server.
I have a retired Barnes&Noble Glowlight 3 6" ereader that I use as a status/weather display.
Sure, I could use it over WiFi, but why not run it over USB since it has to be plugged in anyway?
I have a service running on the RPi, I forward a port from the RPi to the Glow and I have an app running on the Glow.
I still can do a normal adb shell on the RPi (while the forwarding is also running) to administer/update the Glow.
