Why: the learning experience, and a name that is easier on the eyes.
I've been trying all day to discover how Android designates its hostname, (the name it has on a network). By default it is "ANDROID_<16 digit hexdecimal id>", and on all other Linux systems it is set in /system/etc/hosts. However that file on Android seems to not define the #HOSTNAME. I've been poking and prodding at any file that can be viewed in a text editor, and have not been able to find what I'm looking for. I've done close to a hundred searches and have found nothing about what to modify. Is there something simple I'm overlooking? Can #HOSTNAME="nameofchoice" just be added to the hosts file?
Sidenote; We all know by now that I'm a droidnoob, so ill say it now so you don't have to.
Thanks for your time!
