Shell Commands (X-Term) - apt-get will be probably the most used command you will need in this. Firstly apt-get update this will check the repositorys you have listed for the latest updates and refresh the catalogs on your phone, this is to be used in conjuntion with apt-get upgrade Upgrade, incase you didnt guess is to update the operating system and programs on the phone.

APT-GET Update Errors - sometimes when you have been adding packages or repositorys to the device you will get an error when the command !apt-get update is issued, this can usually be fixed with the following command - apt-get -f update - This forces the repository lists to refresh from new so the error that was being recieved is now gone.

(ALSO can be fun when someone playing on your phone and you want it back or your GF too busy on facebook or playing games.... the command reboot should work anywhere that the phone is in range.... you just need the local IP address of the device *can usually be pulled off the router or by a widget on desktop that will show it* It will usually be 192.168.x.x where x is a number upto 255
