Fully operate my Android using my laptop's touchpad and keyboard?

[kalos]

Hello

Is it possible to fully operate my Android using my laptop's touchpad and keyboard?

Preferably without an app that is dodgy or has ads etc.

Most of what I have found, is simply to access the folders/files plus some functionality like send sms but I need to see on my laptop my true phone screen and me able to use a cursor/keyboard to operate it as if I was using my phone.

I think Samsung has a proprietary tool and Android offers a screen cast feature (but probably only for display, not for remote control of the device)

Thanks!

I think that's wishful thinking.

It's certainly easy to operate your android tablet with a nice small standalone bluetooth keyboard and mouse..

Google has hidden it well.
It's easier to connect than the instructions on github indicate.

Here is a short video guide

I just found about sndcpy to forward sound to the desktop as well (which doesn't happen by default)

These two tools + OBS Studio are a good way to record screen videos from your phone.

You can find a GUI for Linux/Windows to run both here: GitHub

Scrcpy 2.0, with audio 12 Mar 2023 https://blog.rom1v.com/2023/03/scrcpy-2-0-with-audio/

I am thrilled to announce the release of scrcpy 2.0. Now, you can mirror (and record) your Android 11+ devices in real-time with audio forwarded to your computer!

This new version also includes an option to select the video and audio codecs. The device screen can now be encoded in H.265, or even AV1 if your device supports AV1 encoding (though this is unlikely).

The application is free and open source. Follow the instructions to install it and run it on your computer: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/README.md#get-the-app

Nice! I experienced a bit of lag with the scrcpy/ sndcpy combo, so I look forward to trying this sometime.
