Thanks I also found the same answers in the code here
external/qemu/avd/info.c It makes me wonder in what situations
the add-on would use the stock system image(containing no changes to the
official platform).
Here is the info from external/qemu/avd/info.c for referance
* Each AVD corresponds to a "content directory" that is used to
* store persistent disk images and configuration files. Most remarkable
* are:
*
* - a "config.ini" file used to hold configuration information for the
* AVD
*
* - mandatory user data image ("userdata-qemu.img") and cache image
* ("cache.img")
*
* - optional mutable system image ("system-qemu.img"), kernel image
* ("kernel-qemu") and read-only ramdisk ("ramdisk.img")
*
* When starting up an AVD, the emulator looks for relevant disk images
* in the content directory. If it doesn't find a given image there, it
* will try to search in the list of system directories listed in the
* 'config.ini' file through one of the following (key,value) pairs:
*
* images.sysdir.1 = <first search path>
* images.sysdir.2 = <second search path>
*
* The search paths can be absolute, or relative to the root SDK installation
* path (which is determined from the emulator program's location, or from the
* ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable).
