Change Hostname

Works-Note 3 tmob 4.4.2 rooted. Grant 1min root access with SU, change the "androidxxxxxxxxxxxx" to whatever u want, check the 2 boxes(set on boot , reset wifi connections) click save changes, the app may crash. Test by connecting to router and see connected devices in router access list, if still not the name u set it to, reboot phone. Do a clean uninstall of the apk and ur done

Crashes when setting on i337

Change host name save. Restarted connection - still old name. Restarted phone - still old name. Refresh dhcp list - still old name.

Can't remember settings. Sometimes problems connecting to Wi-Fi, suspect this app.

Not compatible with newer devices. HTC One M8.

Doesn't save changes after reboot and crashes if "Set on Boot" option is set.

Hostname got changed

You only need this in Terminal (so you don't need any app): > su > getprop net.hostname > setprop net.hostname

It works perfect!

Works, but keeps turning on wifi after each crash and auto restart (all apps crash in background on android with ART from time to time). As a result - battery drainer.

Serves the purpose

This App is straightforward, although to affirm what another user has stated, changing the hostname -does not- survive a reboot, despite telling it to 'Set on Reboot'. You must change it every time you reboot. Minuns 2 stars.

Exactly what I needed. Thank you !

This app drops my wifi connection every so often. Even when I disable the "Reset Wifi connection" option. Btw, that setting never gets saved.

Due to many factors, like unlocked bootloader, Radio S-OFF, your ROM setting, which could be anything, it could work, and couldn't. No need to set negative review because of that, it does what it supposed to, adding net.hostname line to build.prop file. What happens after - up to your phone

keeps dropping my wifi connection

Does what it says. Easy and simple!

Exactly what I was looking for. Works perfectly and doesn't even require a BusyBox install! Tested on Android 4.2 on both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7.

Router sees only MAC-address of the device

Does not stick on reboot

Thanks!

Gets the job done.

That's the way i like it!

Keeps turning wifi on without my authorization

A must-run app. Very easy and simple for use on a job well done.

Crashes when setting on i337

Simple & effective

Mesmo com a permissão root, eu alterava o hostname para ficar bonitinho no DHCP do meu roteador, e nada. Era só fechar o programa que o nome voltava para o padrão.

It works!!!!

Ahora puedo sacar los numeros feos de mi host y que aparezca un glorioso "chupala puto"

Change host name save. Restarted connection - still old name. Restarted phone - still old name. Refresh dhcp list - still old name.

Does not work on my rooted gingerbread samsung sidekick

Great app!
