Android setup for fiver

Why USB debugging is required

Stock Android blocks apps and desktops from capturing the screen and injecting touches unless:

  • USB debugging / wireless debugging is enabled and the computer is trusted, or
  • A phone app is granted MediaProjection (screen capture) by the user.

fiver uses the official adb + scrcpy path. That needs debugging enabled once. After you tap Allow, daily use is just fiver --start.

Steps

  1. Settings -> About phone
  2. Tap Build number seven times
  3. Developer options -> enable USB debugging
  4. fiver --start
  5. Unlock phone, plug a data USB cable, tap Allow

Brand notes

Xiaomi / Redmi / POCO

Also enable USB debugging (Security settings) or input may not work.

Samsung

Accept the RSA fingerprint dialog. Revoke authorizations if stuck.

Oppo / Realme / OnePlus / Vivo

Enable any extra “USB debugging security” toggles. Keep the screen unlocked for the first session.

Wireless

fiver --setup-wifi

Then unplug if phone and PC share Wi-Fi or a VPN.
