### TL;DR Is there any way to force a Motorola phone to launch the desktop mode on the phone itself instead of relying on the Windows app? ### What Ready For is Ready For is Motorola's desktop mode (Like Samsung's Dex). It's not a separate launcher and there are three ways of connecting to it normally: - Directly connecting to a monitor through HDMI - Connecting to a Windows PC through an App from Microsoft's app store - Connecting through WiFi to a compatible monitor or TV. ### Why I need this - My specific phone model (Edge 40) can't connect through HDMI (and I'm still mad about it). - My personal computer is Linux and they don't offer a Linux app. - My job computer is Windows, but Microsoft's app store is blocked in it. ### What I want to do instead If I could somehow force desktop mode on the phone itself, I could then use scrcpy to share the screen both on Windows and Linux to work with it. Thanks ### Edit I was able to install Ready For on my job computer through winget. Unfortunately, it seems Motorola's screen casting solution is not well ironed out yet and it's extremely slow. Good news though is that I was able to capture Ready For's desktop on scrcpy as it is detected as a hidden second display. This sort of resolves my ultimate objective (on Windows at least), but does not answer my question, so I'll keep it here instead of in a dedicate answer.
