    Google 'how to use adb' there are many guides online. The basics are is that it is a command line/prompt program. You need to open command prompt or powershell on the directory where you have adb downloaded. Once there you run the commands.

        And you need to write ./ before each command

          darth I know how to use ADB I use it a lot but I don't know how to use fastboot properly. When I was in fastboot I typed in ADB fastboot flashing unlock and it said searching for device and it didn't show up any message on my phone screen.

            fastboot is not adb fastboot

              neutronscott when I'm on fastboot mode I can't use ADB it doesn't work and can't connect to my phone

                  a-one i had that issue in an old windows. Maybe 7

                    meir you only need to do that in powershell. to use command prompt type CMD in the file path bar in the folder that adb is stored.

                      mkw after opening the command prompt window, copy and paste the lines and hit enter after each line

                          a-one You installed the mtk-drivers and the fastboot drivers? You need to have fastboot drivers installed in order for fastboot commands to work. Adb will still work but fastboot wont without the fastboot drivers.

                            a-one Make sure you have device manager open. When you first enter fastboot mode, you should see an android device in other. Quickly right click it to upgrade driver software > Browse from my computer > Let me pick from list of devices > Mediatek > Android adb interface or android Bootloader. If you don't see mediatek, make sure the mediatek drivers installed correctly, do the steps above but stop at browse my computer, click browse and choose the folder where the mediatek drivers were installed/extracted too.

                                        How do you guys install Voice Access? I tried with adb install, it is successful but it require Accessibility permission to activate service and that hidden Accessibility page always crash when I scroll down to bottom. ;-(
                                        Also I am trying to looking for app like DVR, that will be able to record video with flip cover close but all the app I found require permission draw over other app that not supported. ;-(

                                          -Tun
                                          For both you need adb shell

                                          //Enable accessibility services for your apps.
settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services package.name/service.name
//allow display over other apps permission
appops set com.package.name SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow

                                            Could someone explain the apk download process? I looked on the github page, and the steps seemed confusing. Thanks.
