Could you build this?

Partial The app UI and connection setup are standard Android work, but a usable remote desktop client needs low-latency hardware video decoding and a custom streaming protocol. Those parts require real systems and networking expertise.

What it would actually take: The stack would be Kotlin with MediaCodec for hardware H.264/H.265 decoding, a low-latency transport such as UDP or WebRTC, and touch-to-mouse input mapping. The hard parts are tuning latency and jitter and matching the server's undocumented protocol, which may require reverse engineering it from the server code.
