SCRCPY- Best Screen Mirroring App

There are times when you need to mirror your android screen to your laptop.There are many apps which can do that like airdroid and teamviewer. But the problem with them is the lag.

What's the solution ?

Recently , a few months back the xda team has developed an app called scrcpy. By far, it is the best app that I have used for screen mirroring. It has almost no lag what so ever.

Things you need for Installation:

An Android device, USB cable, Computer.

How to Install ?

I have installed it with my windows computer and it worked fine.So I will be guiding you through windows installation.

First of all you need to install adb on your computer.

Now headover to the links provided and download adb and the source code for scrcpy.

Adb Download Link: http://www.evofiles.net/download/platform-tools_r28-0-0-windows-zip/


SCRCPY Download Link :https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v1.2

Download it according to your version(32 or 64 bit).

Now , create a new folder in C drive called adb.

Now extract both the downloaded files to the adb directory in C drive.

Enable USB debugging in developer options in your phone and connect it to your computer.You will be asked to grant the permission on your phone.Grant it.

You are almost done.

Now run the cmd as administrator and move to the C:/adb directory . Enter the following command

COMMAND:adb devices.

If you see your device name or serial number , then you are good to go.Otherwise repeat the steps again correctly.

Now type the command 

COMMAND:scrcpy .

That's it now you should be able to see your phone on your computer. 

Hope that helps.Thanks for reading !

Now , what is the use of entering the same data again and again in every website. Right ?  So ,what the developers have done cleverly is that , they designed OAuth. How does OAuth Work ? Now a days, usually under registration forms we see a option to SignIn with google or facebook or twitter and most of us use them rather than filling the form.  Suppose that you are registering for a website XYZ.
