Romain Vimont c5c2734db9 Keep the display mode daemon process alive
On Android 14, a separate process was spawn on every display mode
request (to turn the screen off or on).

But starting a java process takes time (a few hundred milliseconds),
causing a noticeable latency between the request to turn the screen off
(MOD+o) or on (MOD+Shift+o) and the actual power mode change.

To minimize this latency, keep the process alive between requests, so
that only the first one will have to spawn the process.

It would be possible to spawn the process in advance, so that even the
first request would be immediate, but any problem would impact all
Android 14 users even without using the "turn screen off" feature.

scrcpy (v2.2)

scrcpy

pronounced "screen copy"

This application mirrors Android devices (video and audio) connected via USB or over TCP/IP, and allows to control the device with the keyboard and the mouse of the computer. It does not require any root access. It works on Linux, Windows and macOS.

screenshot

It focuses on:

  • lightness: native, displays only the device screen
  • performance: 30~120fps, depending on the device
  • quality: 1920×1080 or above
  • low latency: 35~70ms
  • low startup time: ~1 second to display the first image
  • non-intrusiveness: nothing is left installed on the Android device
  • user benefits: no account, no ads, no internet required
  • freedom: free and open source software

Its features include:

Prerequisites

The Android device requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).

Audio forwarding is supported for API >= 30 (Android 11+).

Make sure you enabled USB debugging on your device(s).

On some devices, you also need to enable an additional option USB debugging (Security Settings) (this is an item different from USB debugging) to control it using a keyboard and mouse. Rebooting the device is necessary once this option is set.

Note that USB debugging is not required to run scrcpy in OTG mode.
