Android MTP is Broken. So I Built My Own Protocol.
My dad's phone was full. MTP was useless. So I built SocketSweep — a C++ daemon + Rust bridge + React UI that bypasses Android's MTP protocol and streams the filesystem over raw TCP through USB. Heavily inspired by scrcpy's architecture (huge shoutout to Genymobile) — same concept of pushing a native server binary via ADB and communicating over a local socket. ⭐ Star the repo: https://github.com/VishnuSrivatsava/S... 📥 Download: https://github.com/VishnuSrivatsava/S... 🔗 scrcpy: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy Connect with me: LinkedIn: / vishnu-srivatsava-642222238 Currently looking for Backend / Systems Engineering roles.
