It's worth learning how to use TalkBack anyway because of the insight it gives you into how accessibility tooling works, and also it's perfect for this use-case.
Can I turn the talk back on blindly? This phone is a pixel 2. Again, this does sound like a very good advice which I can try on emulator first. Thanks.
This 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.
This is most likely just because the app has the secure display flag set, not any OS limitation. It's a feature of android
I assume in the case of apps trying to protect copyrighted content, the answer is likely "yes but the app might check its own signature and exit if it's not valid, which it won't be at that point, so you'd also need to rip that out, which makes the job way harder."
Very cool, is there something like this for Apple iOS phones?
Yes, it is built into iOS - swipe down from the top right corner and chose mirror screen, this will mirror your screen on a compatible device (I only tested with a MacBook).
Useful if the app has QR Codes that you want to have on hand even if there is no internet connection (like Tesco Clubcard)
Other 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…
Is there a reverse scrcpy where I see my computer screen on Android? No need for control, just mirroring screen is enough.

> Install apks .. on things like chromecasts Once an apk is on a Chromecast, how does one launch it? I've loaded APKs onto a Fire Stick, but that OS actually has a launcher. For a Chromecast, would I be limited to launching via adb and apps that launch themselves by being cast to? That would still be useful, like for example SmartTubeNext is one of the apps I put on my Fire Stick (highly recommended) and in addition…
I'm sure there are many more practical uses, but it's great for automating mobile games.
How does that work - what do you do in the games from your computer for example? Just curious.

I know almost nothing about Android app development and especially disassembly (if that's even the correct term): Is it possible to modify an apk to eliminate this flag anywhere it's set? I assume in the case of apps trying to protect copyrighted content, the answer is likely "yes but the app might check its own signature and exit if it's not valid, which it won't be at that point, so you'd also need to rip that out,…
There were some minor compression artifacts at times but the quality was quite good and the latency was great.
