Old phone

I have an old Samsung M30s with a completely broken display, but the phone itself still works. Before the display died, I had already enabled Developer Options and USB debugging.

Right now I can connect it to my laptop and use scrcpy to mirror/control the phone from my PC without any issues.

I was wondering:

- Is there any way to control the phone using another Android phone instead of a laptop?

- Can scrcpy work from Android-to-Android somehow?

- Are there other useful things I can repurpose this phone for since it still has 128GB storage and decent hardware?

I was thinking about turning it into:

- a dash cam

- security camera

- media/storage device

- secondary server/download box

Also, if none of that works, I’ll probably just use TalkBack + keyboard/mouse to manage it and automate some tasks using macrodroid.

Would love suggestions from people who’ve reused old broken-display phones before.
