Like everyone else on the internet these (last) days, I just wanted to say bye, and thanks for reading my little blog for so many years. It's been fun, hasn't it? So many deep conversations, so much philosophy… OK, OK, it was mostly cat pictures and bad puns, but still. I kinda regret spending so much time at the computer - not when I was doing stuff, just all the sitting around, checking my emails a million times, reading pointless status updates by people I didn't like… but I don't regret the friends I made here or the laughs we had. You're all good people and I'm glad I got to know you. Have a nice end of the world

How to change your Android's hostname.

**The following article explains how to easily change the hostname of your android device by modifying the build.prop**

On many Android devices the hostname is shown with word “android” followed by a series of numbers and letters.

In most of the cases the edition of this name is disable by default, but is possible to change this name by editing or adding a property on the Build.promp of your android device.

In order to do that you need to meet the following requirements:

- Root. (Your device must be rooted. Google and Youtube can help you with that.)

- Busybox. (Such as: BusyBox Installer)

- A Build.prop editor. (Such as: Build PropEditor)

Once you meet the requirements, the procedure will be simple:

***ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE AND BUILD.PROP BEFORE CONTINUE***

***WARNING: MODIFYING THE BUILD.PROP OF YOUR DEVICE CAN POTENTIALLY HARM OR SOFT-BRICK YOUR DEVICE, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK***

STEP 1:

                Open your Build.prop editor App, in this case we are using “Build Prop Editor” on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3 (JWR66Y). Then click on “+” to add a new property. 

STEP 2:

                The new property name you are going to add is “net.hostname”. The property value will be the new hostname you want to give to your device, on this example we will use “Skynet”. Click “Add” to finish.

STEP 3:

                Reboot to confirm. If you successfully made it, then you will see the new property on the Buid.prop and thanks to the root the new property will remain even if you reboot your device. 

Confirm your new device hostname on the DHCP list of your Router.

This guide was made by a noob, so all kind of comments will be well received, also, please confirm whether this worked or not on your device (don't forget to include your Android version).
