I eventually rooted my phone with Gingerbread and then flashed an unofficial CyanogenMod 9 build for Ice Cream Sandwich, which is rooted and it easily let's me change my hostname.<br /><br />Jared Burrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961376562745984517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143898734359980836.post-37175374193744588752012-09-29T13:55:28.981-04:002012-09-29T13:55:28.981-04:00Hey wow, this is the most detailed post I've f...Hey wow, this is the most detailed post I've found yet for this. I've tried the setprop method, and it worked until a reboot. So then I tried adding to build.prop:<br /><br />net.hostname=MyDamnPhone<br /><br />But it does not really take effect. It seems to be ignored. (MotoDROID x2 "daytona" w. stock ROM Android 2.3.5)<br /><br />If I could just find a pre-network boot script, I could add the setprop line to it. Any ideas?<br /><br />TIA,<br />NateAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146392774773017471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143898734359980836.post-72601332418872411532012-07-23T16:10:08.308-04:002012-07-23T16:10:08.308-04:00@Nilesh Govindrajan
