The Transformer Prime, like all the other android devices has a default network device name which is sometimes very difficult to remember, ie. android-xxxxxxxx. To change this to something like "My-awesome-Prime", one can go through the following steps.
You will need the device to be rooted, and terminal emulator installed.
1)Open terminal emulator, enter
$ su
# getprop net.hostname
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will give you the default name of the Prime, ie. android-xxxxxxxx
To change it to "My-awesome-Prime", type:
# setprop net.hostname My-awesome-Prime
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's it.
Not all that groundbreaking, but I thought some might find it useful to remember the device name, while working on the router rather than changing it on the router settings.
Will this stay after reboot?

Unfortunately, no- It only stays as long as the Prime is not rebooted. It might stay with a startup script (init.d) on reboot, which is not supported on the stock kernel.

When does the WiFi turn off? Immediately after the screen does, or 15 minutes after that, or after a few hours?
There is a trade-off between keeping devices like WiFi on and extending battery life. Android prefers the latter and tries to go into suspend mode if it can. If you want to keep WiFi on all the time, you'll have to keep a wakelock active using some of the apps from Market which are designed to do this.
To see what I mean, try this:
Start the default Android music player and set it to play something in a loop. The default music player will set a wakelock and prevent the system from going into suspend mode. This should keep your WiFi active as long as the music plays.
Thanks.. Any suggestions on a app?

I never use such apps, so I can't recommend any. You can, of course, also set a wake lock from the command line. Install the Superuser app from Market, if not already installed, and then inside a Terminal Emulator window, type:
To set a wake lock:
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]echo user_lock > /sys/power/wake_lock[/B]
To remove the (same) wake lock:
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]echo user_lock > /sys/power/wake_unlock[/B]
The "user_lock", above, can be any word you want, but, you have to use the same word for both setting and then unsetting the lock. Ie., don't use "user_lock" when setting and "xyzzy" when unsetting. Also, only type the stuff in bold.

The (only) interresting part of your link, also in the RootzWiki original thread :
"HOW DO I CLEAR OUT *ALL* MY WIFI SETTINGS AND START FRESH?
If you find that your wifi is "strobing" on and off, or you wish to completely wipe out all wifi settings, you can do this in one of three ways:
THE "RIGHT" WAY (USING ADB):
adb shell rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
(this will remove the settings and then force a reboot)
THE "I-DON'T HAVE ADB INSTALLED" WAY:
From the Terminal app.
# rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
(similar command as above. The # is a prompt-- don't type that part. If you see a $ prompt instead, type "su" (no quotes) and it should become a #)[/INDENT]
THE VERY DRAMATIC "I DON'T MIND LOSING *ALL* MY SETTINGS" WAY
Boot into clockworkmod recovery. Do a factory reset. This will remove your wifi settings... along with ALL your personal settings and apps. Only use this if you understand that you will effectively be resetting CM7 to the first time you ran it."

then try changing it to channel 1. the point is that sometimes the channel gets really congested (as in everyone in your apartment area is using the same channel) and sometimes it just refuses to work.
Mine was originally at 11 and it took forever to connect. i swapped it out to channel 1 (i think) and now it's a snap

I said reset but meant fix. If you add an app to system/app and the permissions are wrong you can fix permissions. You will be fine. You don't notice anything wrong with your phone, do you?
Fix permission is a great tool it help you get rid of force closes so you'll be fine.

I promise you. What you did was fine. No harm was done to your phone as the guys above said. You don't have to restore or change anything back. If you want to read a little bit about it, check out this page on the CyanogenMod Wiki.
If you don't know what a feature does, simply type something like "Android fixing permissions" or "Flash ROM Evo 3D" into Google or into the search here on XDA-Developers. The search tool will save you a lot of frustration when you aren't sure what to do.
Best of luck to you.

Sorry about that KB112. The way you wrote that just sounded like you were joking. The good ol' English language reads so much different than when it's spoken.
I knew about that problem in ClockworkMod Recovery. I thought that TWRP had fixed that problem in their recovery.
Thanks.
Ok this trolling in this thread is just sad and plain annoying. I'm going to set this straight right now. Fixing permissions WILL NOT have any adverse effects on your ROM, but can actually help your ROM if you run into Force Closes and whatnot. Fixing permissions does exactly what its name says it does, it fixes the permissions of your the apps and other files.
Evod3 you need to run this in your Terminal Emulator to revert what KB112 did:
Type this and press enter:
Code:
su
When a # appears type this and then press enter:
Code:
chmod 760 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
thanks you !!!! sorry about that im new trying to learn ya kno.. my bad!!! thanks again bro!!!

Dastin1015. My apologizes. I literally Googled:
Code:
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
And came up with several pages of "Do this to fix those permissions" threads, looked, and assumed that I had made a mistake.
I also want to apologize to you evod3 for this. If I personally misled you, I want to say that I am sorry. I feel pretty bad (and slightly embarrassed) right now.

Quick boot bc it the click of an app and the push of a button vs have to open emu and type commands so yea i would say app is better quick boots a prime choice for ne android device that doesn't have a reboot feature or an added mod like 4-1 reboot that are in most roms

if you solely only want to an app that reboots your NT, go with quick boot.
terminal emulator is for those who want easy reboots, and then some. mainly good for devs, or people that have experience with linux.
so i think in your case quick boot is the best option

Add the following to system/build.prop and reboot the phone:

Your router should pick it up. I just tested this and it worked on my WRT400N router.
