Today, the editor will share with you how to use guiscrcpy to project Android phone screens to computers. The content is detailed and the logic is clear. I believe most people still know too much about this knowledge, so share this article for your reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article. Let's take a look at it.

Guiscrcpy is an open source project based on an award-winning open source engine scrcpy (GUN GPLv3 license). Using Guiscrcpy, you can project the screen of your Android phone onto your computer, so you can see everything on your phone. Guiscrcpy supports Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

Unlike other alternatives to scrcpy, Guiscrcpy is not just a simple copy of scrcpy. The project gives priority to collaboration with other open source projects. Therefore, Guiscrcpy is an extension, or a user interface layer, to scrcpy. Separating Python 3 GUI from scrcpy ensures that nothing interferes with the efficiency of the scrcpy back end. You can project to a 1080p resolution screen because of its ultra-fast rendering speed and ultra-low CPU use, it runs smoothly even on low-end computers.

Scrcpy is the cornerstone of the Guiscrcpy project. It's a command-line-based application, so it doesn't have a user interface for handling your gestures. It also doesn't provide a back button or a home button, and it requires you to be familiar with Linux terminals. Guiscrcpy adds a graphics panel to scrcpy. Therefore, any user can use it and can project and control his device without sending any information over the network. Guiscrcpy also provides compiled binaries for Windows and Linux users for your convenience.

Install Guiscrcpy

Before you can install Guiscrcpy, you need to install its dependency package. In particular, install scrcpy. Perhaps the easiest way to install scrcpy is to use the snap tools that are installed for most Linux distributions. If you have snap installed and used on your computer, you can use the following command to install scrcpy in one step.

$sudo snap install scrcpy

When you have installed scrcpy, you can install other dependent packages. Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL 2.0) is a toolkit for displaying and controlling the screen of your device. The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) command connects your Android phone to your computer.

In Fedora or CentOS:

$sudo dnf install SDL2 android-tools

In Ubuntu or Debian:

$sudo apt install SDL2 android-tools-adb

In another terminal, install the Python dependency:

$python3-m pip install-r requirements.txt-- user set up your phone

In order to make your phone accept adb connection. You must turn on the developer option on your phone. To open the developer options, open Settings, select about phone, and find the version number (it may also be in the Software Information panel). Unbelievable, as long as you click on the "version number" seven times in a row, you can open the developer option. (LCTT translation note: obviously this is illustrated by Google's native Android, and different brands of Android phones may have different ways to turn on developer options. )

Enabling Developer Mode

For more comprehensive ways to connect to your phone, please refer to the Android developer documentation.

Once you have set up your phone, plug it into your computer via the USB cable (or connect wirelessly to make sure you have a wireless connection).

Use Guiscrcpy

When you start guiscrcpy, you can see a main control window. Click the Start scrcpy button in the window. As long as you set up developer mode and connect your phone to your computer via USB or WiFi. Guiscrcpy will connect to your phone.

Guiscrcpy main screen

It also includes a writable configuration system where you can write your configuration files to the ~ / .config directory. You can save your preferences before using them.

The panel at the bottom of guiscrcpy is a floating window that can help you perform some basic control actions. It includes the home button, the back button, the power button, and some other buttons. These buttons are very common on Android phones. It is worth noting that this module does not interact with scrcpy's SDL. Therefore, it can be executed without delay. In other words, this operation window interacts with your phone directly through adb rather than through scrcpy.

Guiscrcpy's bottom panel

The project is currently very active, and new features are constantly being added to it. The latest version has a gesture and notification interface.

With this guiscrcpy, you can not only see your phone on your computer screen, you can also click on the SDL window just like your physical phone, or use the buttons on the floating window to interact with it.
