Hi
I have a old nexus with broken touchscreen . I want to use it via mirror on pc.
unfortunatly USB debuggin wasn't enable so i can't install any app.
any tips?
thanks
PS: i saw many use usb adapter to connect a mouse but i don't have it
EDIT: right now i just need a rom/kernel with USB debugging mode enabled by default
the screen still works , only the touch screen is broken
power , and volume bottons still work
the device is rooted
If it's only installing apps you could install them via recovery. (as zip)
Or you could check for a cheap replacement touchscreen.

thanks for the answer!
sorry i forgot to mention that i need USB debuggin for make the app works correctly.
I'm trying now to find out what rom i have installed and maybe then find a kernel with OTG support . (yes i found a otg cable )
i'm not a expert of rooting
I think google has an app called voice control. Not sure how operational it is though. Supposedly you can control the entire system via voice.

i need to unlock the phone and tap on the widget "search" to start voice command .
I think the best way is to find a way to enable OTG and then use a usb mouse
Boot into Recovery and mount*Data*partition.
Open a shell on PC and type:
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config ~/
Repace*~/*with home directory of your OS.
Open that file in a text editor and you would possibly see*mtp*written there. Change it to*mtp,adb.
Note that sometimes Android doesn't understand the text file changes if the line terminator is "DOS Terminators" which Notepad would probably do on Windows (mine is Linux so no issue here).
In that case, I would suggest not using*adb pullbut doing:
adb shell echo 'mtp,adb' > /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
You may verify that the*echo*command overwrote the file by using:
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config ~/
and seeing the file's content in some text editor.
Unmount*Data*and reboot into Android OS. USB Debugging would probably be enabled.

i tryed
1) i went in recovery mode
2) i connect via usb the nexus4 to my pc
3)went in "mounts and storage"
4)then "mount /data"
5)in cmd i tryed your command "adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config" but i says i'm unauthorized
i checked via command "adb devices" and it return a alphanumerica string plus "unauthorized"
i tryed then to
Reboot your phone into recovery mode.
Connect it to your computer.
Open the terminal and type:
cd ~/.android
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
adb shell reboot
but it still says error : device unauthorizated . please check the confirmation dialog on your device
i tryed also with a different version of adb and now gives me after "adb devices" an "offline" response
NB: if i connect the phone (not in recovery mode) via usb i can copy files in and out (i can explore onlyfew folders) , maybe this could help.

Sorry but this could not help... Now only thing you can do is connect any USB mouse to your phone via otg cable (as it is not costly also), and you can also try USB gamepad. I also have used USB gamepad before when my touchscreen was not working.
Second thing you can do is download any android device manager for your PC like mobogenie or mobilego they directly install any app from play store to you android device, through USB.And I don't think they need USB debugging option to be enabled.

my problem is not installing an app (i could do it in recovery mode with a .zip) but enabling the USB debuggin
I have a otg cable but not the "Y" type ( the one with power source ) , also i don't know if OTG is supported by my kernel . I would like to install maybe another kernel which has OTG support and usb debuggin mode enable by default but i don't know what kind of rom i have D:
right now i just need a rom/kernel with USB debugging mode enabled by default

Windows says the installer is a trojan. This is the link I reached from the OP. Windows identifies it as Spursint.F!cl. I guess false positive? It can't install. I'll try portable.

Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Worked perfectly on Find X2 Pro, first time ever using ADB! Thank you so much!

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen

Can someone advise if this process works on the Oppo Find X2 Pro running Color0S 12.1?

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)
However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk
With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
Anyone got this working for ColorOS 13?
When I run:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
I get a message saying the package can't be found???
