Hello Everybody

(First thank you for letting me into your awesome community and thank you for the creators of this project, ya'll are so smart and awesome for giving us enthusiasts the ability to play with this. You rock!!)

Quick question, any of you know how I can install a VNC Server into my Kitkat VM?
1.) I guess I can use
$adb install ____(apk)___ ----> If any of you know where to get the apk and which one you'd recommend. The best with latency and graphical. :p I wanna pay games.

2.) Also do you know how I can include the VNC Server into the .iso build so the server is automatically turned on when I turn on the VM? If not, I guess I can write a script and integrate it into the VM with the .iso to use an adb command (IF YOU GUYS KNOW WHICH COMMAND WILL TURN IT ON) to automatically turn it on.

nvm nothing challenging about it. Quite easy. If you type in google vnc server on x86 it's one of the top links (sorry my copy/paste is busted on my garbage computer). Let me know if anyone needs help.

but quick other question:

WHERE IS THE BUILD.PROP located in the source code. I'm trying to locate it but can't find it unless it isn't called "build.prop"
Sorry if I sound really dumb haha :)

The build.prop is generated at the build time
by the script build/tools/buildinfo.sh

Good morning Chih-Wei Huang (I see your the creator of this project, thank you so much :) )

I see I see, so when I build the iso manually I should be able to find the build.prop file in the build/tools directory and I could modify it? I just saw developers here talk about changing the tablet to phone through the build.prop and wanted to experiment on that. 

Thank you for your time, you must be very busy with running this project (sounds way too intense)

Kindest,
