Hi,
Not sure if I should be using a thread to share this, but I find it so useful I thought I'd share. Whenever I wipe my phone for flashing, I often need to copy paste my long passwords or other credentials to setup my apps.
I don't like using titanium backup since I often go from AOSP to non AOSP, etc.
I don't like using a clipboard sync solutions since it might be sensitive info (passwords) and the current solutions I find clunky (UI-wise) at best.
I thus settled for QRcodes. Here's my workflow:
I copy text on my desktop
Click .BAT file
Scan the resulting QRcode with my phone (which puts the text in the phone clipboard)
Paste in desired app on phone
How to create the BAT file on your computer:
First put those two apps in a folder
ClipOut and qrencode-win32 (search google)
then create a .BAT file with the following:
ClipOut | qrcodecon -o test.png -s 10
start /w test.png
del test.png
You can of course modify BAT file to start any app you want for PNGs, or you can play around with the qrcodecon options to generate other formats.
Needless to say, you can use this with any device capable of scanning Qrcodes, not just the S3.
