# 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.

### Tech



Lx Multi Tool uses a number of technologies to work properly:



* [Qt] - An awesome cross-platform IDE.

* [Dillinger] - Awesome web platform that made this document so handsome!

* [Vmware] - For letting me test this tool on all platforms (Linux and MAC).

* [Icons8] - Not actually a technology, but a nice platform for good-looking FREE icons. (Big thanks!)

* [UnixUtils] - For the sed utility for Windows.



### Installation



In order to use Lx Multi Tool, you need to extract the archive for the respective operating system and run the LxMultiTool executable.



### Development



Want to contribute? Great!



All you need to do is download the [Qt IDE](http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/) for your operating system, clone this repository, open the Qt Creator, click Open Project and then select LxMultiTool .pro.



After that, you should be able to build, debug, edit and so on.



### Porting



With the introduction of DevicePackages, now you can port any version to your own device.

So far, the following can be changed via DevicePackage:

 - Bootloader unlock/lock command.

 - XDA Thread link.

 - Updates download folder link.



### Todos



 - Extend the DevicePackage functionality to support more devices

 - Properly handle fastboot and adb output text for more user friendliness

 - Add more Code Comments

 - Add online database to download stuff from (kernels, stock, recoveries)

 - Extend the file downloader to download directly from the tool
