Droid 4 Wifi Hostname

[K.ZIMM]

Found a method for a different phone that also works for the Droid 4. Original post is here [SCRIPT] Change Hostname - xda-developers.

This is handy if you have multiple android devices connected to your router. Instead of cryptic names, you can change them to something more easily identifiable.

This does require root.

Using Script Manager, add the following code to run as SU and on start-up.

#!/system/bin/sh#change devName to whatever you want.
devName=Droid4


if [ "$(/system/xbin/hostname)" = "$devName" ] && [ "$(getprop net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
    echo "Device hostname does not need to be changed."
else
    echo "Device hostname is being changed to $devName."
    /system/xbin/hostname $devName
    setprop net.hostname $devName
    if [ "$(/system/xbin/hostname)" != "$devName" ] && [ "$(getprop net.hostname)" != "$devName" ]
    then
        echo "Device hostname has not been changed."
    else
        echo "Device hostname has been successfully changed."
    fi
fi
