        Nop, there are a lot of videos on youtube.

        You need to install the program on your device(phone&pc).
        On the desktop pc you get a icon in the status bar. Here you can open the folder structer from the phone or you can see battery status.
        Is there a incoming call you see a pop up on the desktop. If you don't find your device, you can start a "ping"
        After that your mobile phone is making beep beep beep

          @guru KDEconnect is an extremely cool app to bridge all your devices. Here is the github repo and KDE community wiki entry. In just a few words:

          1. Link your PCs, Smartphones, Laptops via Wifi or Bluetooth
          2. Share content (send files, share clipboard) encrypted and with nautilus (filemanager) support
          3. Some nifty features for the smartphone:
            • Find my phone (click on desktop and phone will ring)
            • See notifcations, take calls, answer on messager on desktop
            • Send CLI commands/touchscreen/keyboard events to desktop
            • See phone status (battery) on desktop

          Sorry for redundancy, Stefan already mentioned a few of these, i'm just a big fan of this app and would love to see it on UT

                Someone could try to apt install it. It can be paired from the command line

                    @SweDennis As I understand the Wiki, there is some KDE plasma application to be installed or compiled from sources (as I do in FreeBSD) and some app for Android on arm and some protocol between the two.

                      apt install DOES offer it so I guess it has at least been COMPILED for arm. It wants to pull in some 250 mb of dependencies though 😛 I didn't try that. Would have to make some space for it first.

                        good idea to check apt. it's not normal in my android life to install with apt 😉

                        i will try to install this at the weekend and try to pair the device with my desktop

                          Hi. Have you been able to connect your phone with kdeconnect?

                          I would like to try, but apt-get wants to install alot of kde packages.
                          No problem if it works.

                              There is a new version for this for SailfishOS:
                              https://openrepos.net/content/r1tschy/sailfish-connect
                              https://github.com/R1tschY/harbour-sailfishconnect

                              I hope this can be ported?
