I'll take this opportunity to ask a technical question: clipboard integration via KDE Connect was a godsend, but it stopped working with Android 10. I think I read somewhere that Android 10 forbids apps from managing the clipboard. Can anyone confirm this? I hold out hope that clipboard integration might work again...

From what I remember, apps are no longer allowed access to clipboard if they are not open and active, I.e. on the screen.

They have come up with a workaround for this. Instead of actively monitoring your clipboard in the background, there now exists a "Send Clipboard" button/intent that shares the current clipboard value with the other device(s). Works well enough for me on Android 11.

Yeah this is correct. I was able to use a Magisk module to whitelist the KDE Connect app in Android 10 and it worked fine. This is only for rooted devices so it's not really something most people are going to be able to do. https://github.com/Kr328/Riru-ClipboardWhitelist https://github.com/Kr328/Riru-ClipboardWhitelist
