How Can I Remote Control Android Phone from PC
I am using DroidVNC-NG and it is working quite good for remotely control Android phone from my Windows 10 PC.
DroidVNC-NG is a lightweight, open-source VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server designed specifically for Android devices. It allows you to remotely control your Android phone or tablet from a PC or another device over a Wi-Fi network. VNC works by transmitting Android screen and accepting input (like mouse clicks and keyboard input) from the remote device, effectively letting you control Android phone from the computer.
Step 1: Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your PC.
Step 2: Open a command prompt or terminal on your PC. Run the following command to start DroidVNC-NG:
adb shell am start -n com.iiordanov.freebVNC/com.iiordanov.freebVNC.Start
Step 3: Install a VNC client on your PC (e.g., TigerVNC or RealVNC). Open the VNC client and connect to your Android device's IP address and the default port (5901).
Step 4: Once connected, you can remote control Android phone from Windows PC.
It is a great option for tech-savvy users who need a free and lightweight solution for remote control. Let me know if you need help setting it up!

I like your answer since it promotes a 100% FOSS solution. In this day and age, with many of us struggling to pay our bills, yet another subscription is currently untenable.
