Research direction

The issue names no files, tests or entry points, so first find where the Android app handles the wireless debugging pairing and permission grant. The request is to add an option that grants that permission through root, but it does not say how root access should be obtained or which permissions to grant. Confirm the design with the maintainer before writing code, and treat done as a reviewed proposal plus a change that a rooted device can test.

Description

android enhancement needs info
The problem

Wireless debugging is annoying and finnicky. On my rooted device, I'd like to hand the permissions directly by giving the app root. This would allow bypassing "Casting" restrictions on some phones (Like my redmi sweet_k6a) where the pin screen is a the blurred wallpaper (imaged below)

Proposal

Add an option to grant elevation through root
