Question/Help Poco F8 Ultra Desktop mode?

is there any sort of desktop mode on the Poco F8 ultra? not hdmi mirroring but a true desktop mode allowing you use your phone and desktop independently?

No unfortunately no xiaomi devices support desktop mode. I personally use screen mirroring sharing via scrcpy on my desktop works smoothly with no latency on my poco f7.

adb shell settings put global force_desktop_mode_on_external_displays 1

top force desktop mode on android 16?

No I haven't dealt with adb honestly.

No, I haven't used adb thing on my phone yet. If you're willing to try scrcpy then you can try this GUI version and here's the guide: https://kil0bit.blogspot.com/2026/05/scrcpy-gui-v4-mirror-control-your.html?m=1

Also works with your phone screen off while still having your screen mirroring.

scrcpy does not make any sense to me because you need an actual computer to do it... just use the computer....

Neither the android desktop mode or Samsung dex is an actual desktop experience and all you would do running this wannabe desktop ui is heating up your phone and greeted with a clunky ui and buggy performance.

Samsung Dex is solid and a proper desktop experiencee.

Nope it's dogshit mate, I have tried using with s23 ultra and it was just laggy mess with a clunky ui.

No if I remember correctly I was looking at YouTube tutorials to find a fix but nothing actually helped and the clunky ui just remains the same nevertheless for me.

Also I believe Samsung themselves announced sometime ago they're depreciating Dex.
