I just want to say thanks to the nice person above but my posts are "unapproved" and even though they won't appear in the thread the site keeps telling me that they've already been posted.

Originally posted by oblivious_maximus View PostCheck out indicator-kdeconnect. You'll have to build it yourself, and it doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore, but it works quite well for me on i3wm. Probably doesn't support all the features of the native version, my primary interest is clipboard integration, but notifications, file transfers, and phone-screen-as-touchpad at least work fine too.
My phone is still using the app version 1.7.2 as f-droid hasn't got this latest update yet, but after updating last time to 1.7.2, everything kept on trucking.

Originally posted by tgellen View PostShame it's tied heavily to KDE. A DE agnostic backend daemon with multiple frontends (i.e. KDE, GNOME, XFCE, etc) would have been much better for Linux.

That's very unlikely to ever happen given the fact that KDE is the one developing this. KDE develops for KDE, GNOME develops for GNOME, etc. There are few if any DE teams that work on distro-agnostic software. (note that I said *DE* teams, *not* distro teams)

Guest repliedI wish GNOME had a similar native feature. KDE Connect on Plasma 5 is pretty neat; I especially like the notification sync from Android to desktop, and the file transfer without having to hook up a USB cable is convenient.
Originally posted by lumks View PostThe only thing that really makes me feel strange, is that "gsconnect" -> https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1319/gsconnect/ for gnome works so much better and feels better integrated into gnome shell, compared to kde connect to kde plasma, while both are using the kde connect proto.
However, AWESOME WORK!
Edit: After getting that extension installed, I fully agree it feels nicer. Thanks for the information; this is awesomeLast edited by Guest; 17 March 2018, 11:45 AM.

I used to use KDE Connect. While I still use KDE (even on my Chromebook with Crouton), KDE Connect was not as functional and reliable as I liked. I ended up switching to Join (by joaoapps, also the new maintainer of Tasker). It works in more environments, has better functionality, and is much more polished. It does cost $5, but I even paid for that out of Google Opinion Rewards credits, so it was essentially free.
