Android OS is just like Linux OS.Many Linux commands can be used on Android by using Terminal Application.

Download link: Terminal.apk

Now,i would like to share some of the useful commmands of Terminal.They are as following:

$ = Sign that user has not entered into superuser or root mode

#  = sign has permission as superuser or root

The two signs above shall not be in writing, it is just the shell $PS1 value.

reboot = to reboot / restart on android

reboot download = to enter download mode, not all of the android can use this command.
