The latest. (Which in this case I believe to be that with index "3", 'Monitor_Mod3.apk.zip'.)

You see in the threads list ( .../forumdisplay.php?f=220 ) those icons that look like piles of documents? That is the "attachments in this thread" list. Not perfect, surely helpful.
And especially, there where you have the "Search" function in the bar above, you have an "Attachment search" in the submenu. There you search, e.g., for "Mod3". And that takes you to the post, with index and narrative, not just to its attachment.

Files (including customized applications), mine for sure, are all over the place.
Yes, we could have used the wiki much more, referencing posts.

No no no no no: VNC is supposed to work pretty much anywhere. There is no such thing such as "being supported". By whom?
Your computer runs software: run VNC software on it (a VNC server). Then run other VNC software on the tablet (a VNC client).

That may seem to mean that if you can drive you can't cook and if you can breathe you can't digest.
You may have noticed that tech is everywhere and there to be a tool. So you may want to get a bit more of it. Or, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, first pages, the Family Who Would Not Repair a Faucet (and Risks Being Stranded Riding Motorbikes in the Middle of Nowhere).

And nobody says you have to. Even to make things work.
