Lx Multi Tool
Lx Multi Tool is a tool inittially created for Huawei Nexus 6P but designed to be modular, easy to modify and port to other device and to be trully cross-platform.
This tool wants to stand out from the rest of the tools out there by providing a intuitive UI that uses most of the ADB and Fastboot commands. As a bonus, this tool also checks for updates.
