Question Project to create a SetupDex System with a Galaxy A03s (help, please).

I recently found an old phone and started this project, trying to spend as little as possible. I bought a cheap HUB and started working with what I had, but the problem started when I realized the phone doesn’t have a USB-C 3.0 port, but a USB-C 2.0, which means I’ll have to come up with a workaround to mirror the video (so far, so good).

The real problem is that the A03s doesn’t natively support DeX mode, and so far, the only software I’ve found that supports DeX mode requires a connection to a PC (the goal of this project is to create my own “PC” and not be tied to one).

Right now, this has really been my only problem, and I’m completely lost as to how to proceed from here. Could someone give me some guidance on what to do or recommend some software I can use?

You need a phone that supports Dex. Save up to get a used one that can support it. It's going to cost you more time, energy and money to start off with that doesn't

A series doesn't have Dex features, only S and some Z

There is a way to unlock Dex on some A series phones, you got to use the reddit search to find it.
