If anyone's looking for an android project, please make one that forwards all hotspot traffic over whatever VPN is enabled. I guess the phone will need rooting.

Re: Scrcpy: Display and control your Android devices connected over USB or TCP/IP
#32Other notable features: * Works in tandem with upstream android adb, so after usb(or wireless) debugging is enabled on the target device, there are no apps daemons or hacks needed and it just works. * Install apks that are "unavailable for your device" in the official google play store (on things like chromecasts) * Full Screen or screen section + audio recording * Stream device screen when it's physically off on tar…
Can you share more about using scrcpy to install APKs that are unavailable for the device via Play?
it's called 'sideloading'

#33I have tried a number of times to connect a phone with broken/dead screen. Touch and audio works. I have probably managed to enter pin and login but clicking 'Allow usb debugging' checkbox when I run scrcpy is apparently impossible or may be I am missing from some other critical step. Has someone done anything like that using this tool? It seems like a perfect use case.
You can use mouse with usb otg.
still have to hit an invisible button

I think my Wireguard VPN already does this, sans root? I enable my VPN and my hotspot connected laptop is now routing its traffic via my house.
Or am I missing what you're looking for?

Are you running lineage or some other custom build? Stock android doesn’t do this afaik.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can just drag and drop APK files onto the scrcpy window to initiate an install (it just does 'adb install' basically).
Does this mean i can install signal on my tablet?
As long as you can somehow receive the registration sms code on a different device, you should be able to. Mind it would deregister Signal from your phone though.

#37Is there a reverse scrcpy where I see my computer screen on Android? No need for control, just mirroring screen is enough.
Deskreen

#38I used to use this with my Xiaomi phone connected over TCP/IP, but after a while the phone automatically disables wireless debugging so I have to enable it again on the phone directly, which is quite annoying

#39My 7 year-old phone has had a completely smashed screen for the past year. Thanks to this (super-easy-to-run script), I haven't felt the need to repair the screen at all.
10/10 would recommend.

#40Stupidly useful when I broke my phone in Antarctica and had to wait months for a replacement to arrive (it did, mere days before station close). Also a shout out to gnirehtet which is I think by the same devs? Reverse tether your phone for times when wifi and cell are both unavailable.
Many years ago, my Samsung S3's wifi chip broke. I had to resort to mobile data for everything. Luckily I was able to use gnirehtet to download apps/updates for some time until I was able to buy a new phone :)
