This product is amazing, i love it but there is tiny noisy thing, every time when i need to transfer clipboard from android to PC i need to manually press the button on phone in the same time as from pc to android i don’t need to do that, it’s automatically. Please could you make feature which will allow to do clipboard transfer android → pc automatically as it woks in opposite way?

This is an unfortunate decision on Android’s end, and there’s nothing KDE Connect can do right now. However, there is some workarounds you can try: [KDEConnect - KDE UserBase Wiki](https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Clipboard)

Thank you for your answer, i’ve rooted my device but i don’t see any tips there on how to remove that restriction, could you please give any advice on that?

I have found module for Magisk but that tutorial in Readme is something on enchantment table language for me, could you if you can help sort this out?  
Here is the github with that module: [GitHub - Kr328/Riru-ClipboardWhitelist: A module of Riru/Zygisk. Allowing apps to access the clipboard in the background on Android 10.](https://github.com/Kr328/Riru-ClipboardWhitelist/tree/main)

I have installed Zygisk Clipboard Whitelist from Kr328, but it’s not copying from android to pc still, do i need to adjust something else to make it work properly?

I’m not sure, you might have to ask the KDE Connect people. I’m okay with the notification, so I never tried the other methods 🙂

It is possible to connect with the clipboard on Android 14. Clipto (no longer available /supported) can access the clipboard automatically., if the following adb commands are used

adb -d shell pm grant com.wb.clipboard.pro android.permission.READ\_LOGS;

adb -d shell appops set com.wb.clipboard.pro SYSTEM\_ALERT\_WINDOW allow;

adb -d shell am force-stop com.wb.clipboard.pro;

Worked for me. I just changed the commands to target the KDE connect app, works like a charm !

adb -d shell pm grant org.kde.kdeconnect\_tp android.permission.READ\_LOGS;  
adb -d shell appops set org.kde.kdeconnect\_tp SYSTEM\_ALERT\_WINDOW allow;  
adb -d shell am force-stop org.kde.kdeconnect\_tp;

A pop-over will appear once you re-open the app, asking you if you want to allow KDE connect to read the logs, click “allow” and you’re good to go !

Thanks Harrsisc ! ❤

I can confirm the above method is still working, just to make sure Shizuku is turn on and USB-debugging is turn on as well. A pop up within the app will show up after all three commands have been typed.

If you are a root user, the solution simply is to install the  
**kdeconnectbidirectionalclipboard** magisk module on github by draumaz.

I use it every single day and it’s absolutely rock solid. No feature request needed.

If you have any issues with logcat access prompts, i have read(but not tested) that the xposed module XLogcatManager solves this issue by silently auto confirming the logcat one time access prompt in android 13+ devices.

For non-rooted users, solution is using  
kdeconnect-android-shizuku instead normal kde connect.

</div>

I also used kdeconnect-android-shizuku which @CrossyAtom46 recommended, but ended up updating and compiling a newer build for myself. If anyone else is looking for a recent build, I’ve put the source code and release APK on GitHub ( **libdu/kde-connect-shizuku** ).

I know that automation apps like MacroDroid can access the clipboard through an accessibility service. I wonder whether KDE Connect couldnt do the same.
