I was reading up on some other stuff, making the SD card available to
install apps on, and it seems the sd card can be encrypted the same way
the phone is.  Would that affect how this is done or will it not matter
as long as the phone is on and the code is entered? 

Neil, is that SSHelper installed on the phone or my puter?  I can't find
anything on that Gentoo wise. 

m4110c, where does scrcpy come from?  Is that part of android-tools as
well? 

It's weird, this was fairly easy on my old Razr. It was pretty basic and
all but it worked.  :/

Thanks to all.  Lot to learn I see.
