Looking for an update of guiscrcpy, please.


My current version "Build v. 2022.6.1" of guiscrcpy (to mirror and control an Android device from a computer) has stopped working about the end of 2023.

Since that day, I can connect my computer to the phone, but I cannot enter the PIN or control the phone, anymore, without touching the phone, and up to now, I've been looking in vain for an updated version of that tool.

Meanwhile, I found out there is v.2.4 of scrcpy, where guiscrcpy is based on.

The latest scrcpy (including source code) is available here and the latest, yet, obviously too old version of guiscrcpy-flatpak can be found here.

The flatpak version of guiscrcpy should work on Ubuntu based distros (for instance Mint 21+) and Debian based distros (for instance MX-Linux 23+) from bookworm and later and for Android 14+.

I found a scrcpy 1.2.1, but it is very uncomfortable and I cannot be used without the phone's screen on, which is bad for the battery's running time of the phone.



Unfortunately, I am no programmer, so I wonder:
Is here anybody around, with the skills and the time to take the latest scrcpy and create a new build of guiscrcpy and finally make a flatpak out of it, please?

you may try the docker version: https://github.com/pierlon/scrcpy-docker
You only need to install docker to make it work (I think)

This version doesn't have a GUI either, right?
Then, I'm afraid, that doesn't look like an option to me, sorry, because I really would like to have my beloved GUI of guiscrcpy back.
To be able to leave the display turned off, being able to enter the pin number via keyboard of my PC and remote control the phone from there, these are very important features for me, especially in order to save some energy of the battery.

As far as I see it needs video card and display, therefore it must have GUI.

Ok, I will give it a try.
But still I hope, somebody will update guiscrcpy in some not so far away future.
