What does HackerNews think of scrcpy?

This was one of the reasons, why I went with one of the Boox devices (Max Lumi) in my case. It is Android, so adding even easier than working around their Linux distro.

Screen sharing (actually it doubles as a remote control as well) via https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

And as they don't try to leverage proprietary formats, Syncthing for syncing books and notes. And NetGuard for a good measure, so it doesn't call home.

Another way to get a similar experience is by enabling the following options from the android developer menu:

      * enable freeform windows
      * force desktop mode on secondary displays
      * enable non-resizable in multi-window

Then choose "simulate secondary displays" and choose the size (720p, 1080p, 4k)

Using https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy from your desktop and connecting to your phone allows you to choose the virtual display to connect to instead of your main phone display with the --display flag. It's similar to a chromeos feel and very performant

The killer app for Android is scrcpy.

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

This project can enable so many interesting things. It allows you to fully control, stream and automate anything running android including phones, Chromecasts, and even the android subsystem on Chromebooks.

The new version supports streaming audio in addition to the device screen from wherever you run the scrcpy CLI. You can even send keystrokes and "dpad" events to control apps, or connect your mouse and keyboard to the device like it was hardwired.

And it all works over your LAN via Ethernet or WiFi without root.

You could easily use this with any audio app to kick off casting to other devices in this context.

Oh and btw it even can run from inside a docker container. Cheers to the author(s) it's a hackers dream tool.

OP: Do you still have adb running on the phone?

If yes, then you might be able to backup google authenticator's data using adb.

Alternatively maybe a tool like scrcpy [1] might be able to help when the screen is broken.

Sending pixels is not necessarily a show-stopper for a remote desktop that feels "snappy".

Case in point - scrcpy, remote "desktop" to access Android from Linux/Mac/PC. Very responsive, including during fancy animations, playing video, games, etc.

Seems to be an Electron thing?

Side note: I have >4k messages on Signal right now, which means Signal desktop is impossibly slow to start on my machine (with a mechanical drive and no SSD). I've stopped using it entirely, and use scrcpy[1] to mirror my phone screen and use keyboard and mouse input instead.

You can use scrcpy (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy) to bypass the policy if you really need to have a screenshot. All you need is to have a Linux laptop at hand, debug mode enabled, and a USB cable plugged in. Super simple stuff right? (this is satire!)

Now, I'm as frustrated as anybody else here that I'm forbidden to use whatever feature I want from MY phone, for which I paid, with MY MOENY (and nobody else's apart from mine). But then again, what choice do I have? Not buy a phone? Switch to what? There are no viable and practical alternatives. It's a "take it or leave it" situation.

Use scrcpy - https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

The Windows thing is only for Samsung's latest phones.

Take a look at scrcpyfor anyone wanting to do this in other situations, https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

This is just what I've been looking for, and you beat me to scratching that itch. My job requires granular time tracking, but I've got to be able to do it at my desk and away from the office. As an Android user I can combine this with scrcpy[1] to take advantage of my fast desktop keyboard when I'm sitting down.

scrcpy : https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

This application provides display and control of Android devices connected on USB (or over TCP/IP). It does not require any root access. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Did Microsoft have a choice?
