Mist shows your phone in the control centre, the phone panel (Super + Y) and the island: calls, SMS,
battery, find my phone.
- Install
kdeconnectand the KDE Connect app on the phone. - Pair them (
kdeconnect-appor the phone app).kdeconnectdstays the backend; Mist reads it over D-Bus.
With no paired device the phone parts stay off.
Some phones never send KDE Connect's telephony events (seen on Xiaomi HyperOS), so incoming calls do not reach the island. Mist can read them from the phone's own call log over ADB instead:
- Install
android-tools, enable USB debugging on the phone. - Authorise the computer:
adb devicesmust list the phone asdevice. - For Wi-Fi:
adb tcpip 5555over USB once, thenadb connect <phone-ip>:5555.
With adb missing or no authorised device this is off.
