Another nifty utility to use in tandem is scrcpy[0].

Inside or outside of Termux, it allows you to interact with your android device in general from the comfort of your main computer/laptop over ADB.

It becomes a super multiplier for Termux when I don't want to deal with the hassle of connecting a separate keyboard to my android phone/tablet.

(A heads up, I have to use the `--render-driver=software` switch in order for scrcpy to work at all on my laptop.)

You need developer mode enabled for this right? Do you use any banking apps? The one I want to use for NFC payments doesn't work when developer mode is enabled. I am wondering if this is a global thing.

Ah yes, I'm pretty sure developer mode is required.

My banking app works for logging in to check account balances, even despite having a rooted device. Though, I have not set up any kind of payment methods, Android Pay, etc.

Nvidia GPU?

Have you tired `--render-driver=opengl`

Intel UHD. Unless they changed the default sometime in the past year or two, it seems opengl is already the default. Oddly enough, it is working for me right now on that setting.

It was a painful troubleshooting process when I first installed it that took me a long while to stumble upon the software renderer option.
