I love Scrcpy, and I miss it after switching from Android to iOS.

iOS screen sharing isn’t available in the EU. Thanks Apple.

What are the functions that the EU asks Apple has to supply.

1) Remove access from Android phone to macOS.

2) Remote access from iOS to Windows.

Then if both doesn't the EU regs also require remote access from Android phone to Windows

Plus same questions for Linux.

scrpy is lucky as not regulated so does not have to provide iOS.

Could Apple package this and thus allow its iOS version to be released in EU. Or would they still need 2.

Scrcpy is fantastic, no idea how it Just Works™ so smoothly and painlessly, but it does.

Another gem to avoid using a tiny phone screen even more. Worked with my old LG V20 (Android 8.0). Perfectly smooth over USB 2.0. Reasonably smooth over Wi-Fi (adb tcpip 5555 while USB is connected, then scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.xxx_ wirelessly).

[TIL/xkcd#1053] scrcpy ("pronounced 'screen copy'") is "Display and control your Android device"

> mirrors Android devices (video and audio) connected via USB or TCP/IP and allows control using the computer's keyboard and mouse. It does not require root access or an app installed on the device. It works on Linux, Windows, and macOS

Coincidentally enough (or not) just yesterday while skimming through the Google laptop "Googlebook" announcement and thinking "Meh... none of that is new" and wondering if I could genuinely do all that with my current Linux/GrapheneOS setup I thought "Ok... maybe the Android windows is new" and I checked more scrcpy virtual display and display id which I use for mirroring Quest headsets. I thought "OK ok Google I give you that tiny feature" only to wake up this morning, nope, not even that.

That's not a new feature. ChromeOS has had app streaming since 2023. https://chromeunboxed.com/chromebook-app-streaming-guide-lim...

Similarly, the other features for the Googlebook are just normal features from Google's Android builds. The announcement is really that there will be a Chromebook Plus class of devices running the new Android-based ChromeOS, so everything in Android now comes to these devices for free, and apparently, most of the features from the current CheomeOS will be ported too. I just hope this means that Linux app support in Android will match Crostini by the end of the year.

Thanks for the clarification I'm clearly not deep enough in the ChromeOS/Android ecosystem to be aware of that.

Makes me wander what works or doesn't with AndroidXR too.

scrcpy new disappoints. Consistently stable, butter smooth & well maintained. Kudos to the maintainers.

TIL Scrcpy is maintained by Genymobile and not Google. It's great for letting Claude Code operate your phone for doing QA tests
