How to use ADB and scrcpy to interact with your Android phone

Just two days ago i was struggling with react native and adb stuff, and here's the engineer again to help me out 👊🏻, thanks man a lot.

Thanks!! Thanks to this I was finally able to acess my older phone with cracked display and unfunctional touchscreen.

Been using scrcpy for a while! great little program to mirror my phone on screen.

[noahnolte]

Yes! Thank you so much for finally doing this!

[rudeviper]

It was just two commands for me :
*sudo apt install adb*
*sudo apt install scrcpy*
Linux is so much easy to get things done!

I'd strongly recommend anyone who intends to use this to play games to look at the bitrate flag. Newer versions may default to a better bitrate (1.16 defaults to 8Mbps, which is probably fine), but the older version I was using needed a bump to smooth out the blockiness.

Otherwise it's perfect, except that whole sound thing.

Don't forget, if you want to save battery while using adb &
scrcpy, be sure to turn your brightness all the way down ;)

Is there a way to read values off of the screen using adb? For example: playing a game where you have stamina and have to wait for it to regen. Is there a way to read how much stamina you have?

I’m looking for a USB-C splitter for my Pixel 7 Pro that can connect to its USB-C port. The splitter should have two female USB-C ports: one for connecting USB-C Apple EarPods to make phonee calls, and the other for charging the phone and supporting data transfer. This data transfer should enable USB debugging mode, allowing me to use the mirroring application, scrcpy. I’ve noticed that most products on Amazon only support data transfer on the port that supports audioo, but not on the charging port. Can you recommendd a product that meets these requirements?

Great video. Have you ever tried/had success with Anbox? What would you recommend in terms of Android emulation on Linux?

[Guytron]

Are there any differences between using the Android Studio supplied ADB vs the standalone ADB? Or will scrcpy work automatically with Android Studio?

[DeepakSingh-xtio]

Thank you for the video. I have a small doubt. I'm using my phone's Wi-Fi hot-spot to connect my laptop to access the internet. Can I access my phone using adb in this scenario?
