android001: Remotely control your android devices

To give some context, I wanted to use my spare tablet to monitor my room while I'm away, and I decided to use Anydesk as one of my options. I downloaded the app from the Play Store and set up unattended access.

Initially, it worked well, but when I tried to connect my Android device, it would display a message like "Waiting for the image" even though it was connected. On the Android side, I noticed a message in the app asking me to "Start recording and casting." I remembered that a few years ago, this step was easy, but with the new version, they added additional steps to prioritize privacy and security.

As a longtime Android fan, I knew there must be a guide somewhere to skip this step, and I found one while searching. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Install Shizuku and App Ops from Playstore

2. Open the Shizuku application and click on "Pairing Steps."

3. Go to Developer Settings and enable Wireless Debugging. Click on it to view the Pairing passcode.

4. Scroll down to your app notifications, and you should see the Shizuku pairing codes. Enter the code and press send.

5. Go back to Shizuku, and it should indicate that pairing was successful. If the Shizuku service is not starting, you can turn off and on Wireless Debugging again. Then, go back to the Shizuku app and press "Start."

6. Once you see the Shizuku service start, you can open App Ops and browse to the app you want to skip the "Start recording and casting" step for. Click on "Project Media" and click "Allow."

You can now allow any app you wish, such as TeamViewer or Anydesk. That's it.
