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

That's a surprisingly great idea. A mobile phone can be used as a server, and for their capabilities, they are cheaper than Raspberry Pi when with some issues especially. Out of curiosity I just found an offer for a used Pixel 6 Pro for 70 EUR, supposedly only broken screen and the rest is working, where it has 12GB RAM with CPU Octa-core (copypasting: 2x2.80 GHz Cortex-X1 & 2x2.25 GHz Cortex-A76 & 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-…
how can you enable ADB/dev settings on the phone with a smashed screen?
Good question I did this once by plugging in a keyboard and mouse and using a combination of them to unlock the phone and enable onscreen dictation (meant for blind people, you move your mouse over the thing and it tells you what is under).
Mostly blind luck, clicking the windows button then typing out the unlock PIN code and enabling the voice detection via Ok Google I think although many things were tried.
Once the onscreen dictation was enabled we were able to navigate the phone by voice to do what we wanted (take all photos off it).
Edit: also some phones support video output via USB-C and then it is much easier. Unfortunately the one I was working on did not support that.

Simple, just connect your mouse with an usb converter..

#74For the use cases mentioned in the comments here, I don't think you really need a third party tool like this. Connect your phone to a USB-C display and viola! Screen is mirrored and network, mouse and keyboard connected to the display are now connected to the phone. There is also the Microsoft phone app for win10/11, and Samsung Dex.
Pretty sure the market share of usb-c Displays is still very low. Also, most people (source needed) use laptops nowadays.
Most USB-C to anything/everything dongles used by MacBook users have an HDMI output.

#75Any explanation on how does it work? Is it via Android’s virtual display feature?

#76Whoa this is awesome, I have a “throw away” tablet that loads all my bloatware apps that’s unfortunately necessary for a lot of home automation and messaging stuff. I just install the app and either use a home assistant or matrix plugin. I can now store my tablet in the server room instead and access it remotely!

#77Just chiming in to say I've been using this for what feels like years and it's never failed me. Controlling a phone on a second monitor just because it's convenient, sharing a phone during meetings to showcase stuff, automating a couple apps, you can do it all!

#78This is incredible software with a small caveat: some apps can't be mirrored -- the ones which show blank on the task switcher view. This is more of an OS limitation than scrcpy's fault.

#79can we stop naming things worse than strptime and strftime

This is most likely just because the app has the secure display flag set, not any OS limitation. It's a feature of android
