v4.7

Interesting bug fixes, new features and better distribution. Hoping to reach 1k stargazers soon.

🌟 Highlights

You might be wondering why I took this long to release another version of guiscrcpy, or maybe, what happened to the previous releases? Here is the answer!

📳 New mapper!

The guiscrcpy mapper API got a cool upgrade. It was always very hard, to get mapper working on guiscrcpy, especially for people who are not used to the command line. guiscrcpy v4.5+ features a new mapper interface which allows you to configure and initialize the mapper directly from the GUI. This is experimental, but I hope that would work!

🔄 Command line interface

guiscrcpy got a new command line interface. Built with the features of the famous python library, click, guiscrcpy now offers a flexible CLI for users, and it makes resetting the configuration files easier

You can now access the mapper by typing

guiscrcpy mapper

Or to see your configuration files?

guiscrcpy config

To view the help for each subcommand, you can just append –help to the command.

🙂 Better adb and scrcpy interfacing

It was very hard to synchronize the users version of adb to the adb packaged within, but now you can directly run adb or scrcpy using the command like

guiscrcpy adb

To get an interactive terminal on your device

guiscrcpy adb shell
guiscrcpy adb devices
guiscrcpy adb devices -- -l

Note, – between the devices and -l . This helps guiscrcpy to distinguish between its own commands to those of adb's

⬇️ AppImage (🐧)

guiscrcpy offers pre-built binaries (for those users who are not interested in installing Python, or for those users who do not have a package offered by their system, you can use this pre-built binaries.

If you already have zap, you can just do:

zap install guiscrcpy

We also provide Delta Updates (only download the parts which have been changed since the last release) by

zap update guiscrcpy

Or alternatively, just download the AppImage from the releases, give it +x execute permission, double click, and run!

Two types of AppImages are offered.

• guiscrcpy*.r.*.AppImage
• guiscrcpy-min-*.m.*.AppImage

The min appimage is a minimal guiscrcpy AppImage, which does not have scrcpy and adb bundled along with it. If you do need scrcpy, you might like to download the non-minimal (full) version

💻 Better Qt support

Previously, we sticked onto PyQt5 a Python library which provides Qt Bindings in python. We have now moved to qtpy which helps you to decide if you would like to install PySide2 or PyQt5 . PyQt5 is less liberal (in terms of licensing) as compared to PySIde2. PySide2 comes from the Qt Company. For Windows, I have offered two versions, guiscrcpy.exe (PyQt5) and guiscrcpy-pyside2.exe (PySide2). Both of them are the base binaries of guiscrcpy (without scrcpy), but I wonder why the PyQt5 AppImage is bigger. If you do know, please let me know 😄

For Linux distributions, you are likely to have PySide2 on your distro. For Arch Linux, we have a PySide2 library which is smaller than the PyQt5 library, and you might be benefited by the low size. Some Linux distros, (normally KDE Plasma based distros) already have PySide2 pre-installed!

Safer Errors

guiscrcpy doesn't crash all of a sudden now. guiscrcpy now reports the error to you with the traceback. This helps to make debugging easier. Now it prints both to the stdout and shows the error in a dialog box
