scrcpy

Yes, you need to use the workaround posted below to get this working. Instead of adb install you execute the scrcpy command.

adb - android-tools

Is anyone familiar with adb? I'm trying to use it on FreeBSD, and whilst it works OK when I run adb shell, running adb install never gets started. If I try the same thing on Linux the push appears to work, but I can't check the contents of the /data directory as I get permission denied...

In spite of it, I think I will not try it, not use it. Smartphones do not play so an important role in my life, although I like the idea.

It is like an X server showing a window of a client in a different computer. The main task of X11.

I wonder the wayland-fanatics that insist wayland can substitute X11.
 
While I don't like smartphones more and more things are "app only" so I am forced to use Android, and would rather have a full size keyboard and screen.
So I found this thread and installed scrcpy, however it doesn't seem to work for me either. It detects my phone, it uploads the server fine, but it just hangs at that point, it never loads the window with the phone screen.

This is all I get in the terminal, there seems to be no errors:

Code: 
$ scrcpy
scrcpy 3.1 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
INFO: ADB device found:
INFO:     -->   (usb)  [serial_number_removed]                     device  moto_g_7__plus
/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 282.4 MB/s (90640 bytes in 0.000s)

I can leave it like that for ages and it never progresses. Anyone seen this issue before? I had a look at the workaround mentioned above but I don't think its relevant to my issue, because using adb commands directly work fine for me. So the PC is communicating with the phone via adb fine.
