Nexus Tools

Android is quite a versatile OS that enables you to perform a wide variety of tweaks on your smart device, including flashing and granting you administrative rights. However, before you can take full control over the Android gadget, first you need to have Fastboot or ADB drivers installed.

Nexus Tools is a tool designed to help you install ADB and Fastboot along with other tools that you may need to fully manage and customize Android devices.

The application is portable and does not have an interface per se, but rather works on console commands. You can get started by installing the utility via the -i command, an operation that will ask you whether you want to install the drivers as well. The app downloads the latest platform tools directly from Google and makes sure it grabs the latest version.

According to the developer, the utility uses Google Analytics to grab information about the CPU architecture and current OS of the workstation. However, he points out that the information is not shared or sold and it is solely used to determine the hardware platforms he should focus on. Nevertheless, the app comes with a no analytics command that forbids the tool from grabbing the aforementioned information.

There are numerous reasons why you may want to install ADB or Fastboot and perhaps, one of the most important is that it enables you to remove bloatware from your phone. Other advantages that ADB can bring to the picture include compatibility with all Android devices, custom flash, root installation or unlocking the device bootloader.

In the eventuality that you want to be able to control everything related to your Android device and have full administrative rights over processes and apps, then perhaps you can consider installing Fastboot/ADB via Nexus Tools.
