X11 forwarding (X server) for Android

Does anyone use X11 forwarding with Android devices, so that they can access their UI apps remotely?

If so, what apps do you use and what issues have you run across?

There’s a “MobaXterm ssh” app and while I do love that app on other OS’s it doesn’t seem to be made by the same company so I don’t really trust it

redcalcium,

This might work:

  • install an x server app in your phone (e.g. XSDL) and start it
  • install Termux from f-droid (the one in play store hasn’t been updated due to changes in play store policy that prevents Termux package manager from working)
  • in Termux, run something like DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 ssh -Y user@hostname

scrcpy

phx,

The play store entry for that looks even more sketchy

Mixel,

Source code is available at GitHub but it require you to have your phone by yourside e.g. connected via usb or in the same network so you can connect via IP

averyminya,

SCRCPY is phenomenal.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

I use it daily at work and it’s fine. It does everything you’re looking for in the way you’re looking for it.

Android natively supports video out for screen recording on your local machine. This just ingests the stream and plays it live instead of saving it.
