Flexible Networking

• Choose any custom port for the VNC server.

• Auto‑start on boot (works with kiosk‑mode launchers and lock‑task mode on Android 11+).

• Connect from Android to a listening VNC viewer without opening router ports.

• Use an UltraVNC‑style Mode‑2 repeater to reach devices behind firewalls.

Management & Discovery

• Pre‑load default settings via a JSON file or MDM solution.

• Automatic device discovery on the local network with Zeroconf/Bonjour.

Multi‑User Experience

FAQ

Q: Why do I need to enable the Accessibility Service for droidVNC-NG?

A: Enabling the app’s Accessibility Service is necessary because it gives the server the required operating system permissions to inject mouse clicks, touch gestures, and keyboard inputs directly into Android on your behalf.

Q: Can I view and control my device without installing a dedicated VNC viewer application?

A: Yes, droidVNC-NG includes an integrated noVNC web client. This means you can simply open any modern web browser on your PC or tablet, navigate to the device's IP address and assigned port, and manage your Android device instantly.

Q: How can I improve streaming performance if I am on a slow or congested network connection?

A: You can enable and adjust the optional screen-scaling feature in the app settings. Lowering the stream resolution significantly cuts down bandwidth consumption, helping your remote session stay smooth and responsive even over weaker Wi-Fi links.
