There is an app called scrcpy, that can mirror your android phone, to your desktop vis USB or wirelessly.

It would be great if zorin connect were like that. Or mirror your desktop to your phone.

See Links below, though I could not get the wireless part to work.

Follow the steps Located here, as they are the best and easiest to follow so far.

How ever you will also need to install adb onto your Ubuntu linux Desktop.
In CLI type the following: sudo apt-get install ADB

Then when the prompt on your phone comes up, check the box, and click Ok/Yes.

How to use scrcpy wirelessly:

I too would love this feature on Zorin in the future releases with Zorin Connect. It would be nice to see this integrated with the Connect feature.

Have you never thought of using UltraVNC? There is a free application called 'bVNCfree' which has an option to connect to various VNC installations, including UltraVNC which by all accounts offers the best display qualities over TightVNC and will always be free on all platforms (UltraVNC that is). Zorin connect was aimed at the business user for:

1. Ensuring you never miss important txts from business contacts.

2. Using the phone as a remote device, thereby negating the need to use a client's interactive screen remote control.

;) :D

The point of this feature is seamless integration with out 3rd party software, and to make linux more appealing for new users, and admins alike. While VNC, in various forms, is great for some people it is not for everyone.
