I simply just want to change my device ID to any device (EG: Nexus 5, Galaxy S4).
Can someone tell me a simple way of doing this?
Much Appreciated :good:
You just have to change the ro.product.device line in the build.prop to what you desire.

Would it be possible to make a script that can change the density for multiple devices? I'm no expert on this and can change the density manually in the build prop easily enough but I thought it would be neat for other users to be able to just by running the script and choosing the appropriate setting for their device.

There's actually a free app in the market that will change lcd density. It also backs your current up for easy restoration. Just go to market and search lcd density and it should come up.

I've used it before but I didn't like it because it wouldn't stick the same way changing the build prop does.
Nice work by the way CA. I've used your ROMs before and they're great.

Where is the setting to rename the device ID on a network? I don't like that it comes up as a long name under router and tether info page.
I used to do it on my Inc but can't find it now.
On rooted stock.

"Rename Phone" under Bluetooth settings changes the host name if I'm not mistaken

Nope, that only changes the blutooth friendly name. I'm looking for network name change. It shows up as something like android-16945agr956
Would rather say Note II, or the like...

try Settings -> development -> device name.
That's where I thought I remember that setting being, but I don't see it on my device. Is it usually only under custom roms?

Nope. Host name on router still shows long name android-e30b796c1210fa09.

Is there a configure option in your tether app your using to change the ssid? Other then that I don't know .. I use the mobile hot spot it says configure at the bottom I changed my ssid in there and it says what I named it when it broadcasts my signal..

I've only seen device ID change in AOSP/AOKP Roms, in dev section though on those roms...

Add the following to system/build.prop and reboot the phone:
net.hostname=YOURNEWHOSTNAME
Your router should pick it up. I just tested this and it worked on my WRT400N router.
That's is! Thanks.
Sorry if I was calling it the wrong thing before and confusing people, it was host name I was looking to change. Added that line in the build prop file and rebooted phone and router and it now has a friendly name!

To edit build.prop file, had to download and use "Build Prop Editor" from Google Play (would post link but being a n00b I can't ) as other editing methods would not allow me to save my changes.
Props to alistairs1 for the workaround. :good:
Cheers

I have AN ANDROID GS3 I am looking for some help on build.prop settings. I have spent several hours on the web and here, I have found some setting but not all of them.
I am looking for a full reference or settings for the ro.ril entries, specifically ro.ril.qos.
I have found only three examples but I would like the rest. see below. the reason I am interested in finding these settings is that I am using VOIP and the infamous t-mobile $30 plan. I have also tuned my build.prop with other setting which I may list later after some further testing and additional ro.ri.qos settings.
Here is what is in my build prop, what is blank after the equals sign i believe to either give the default value or no (null) value.
qos (quality of service)
ro.ril.qos.maxpdps=2
ro.ril.qos.traffic.class=14
ro.ril.qos.max.ul=
ro.ril.qos.max.dl=
ro.ril.qos.guarantee.ul=
ro.ril.qos.guarantee.dl=
ro.ril.qos.delivery.order=
ro.ril.qos.max.sdu=
ro.ril.qos.delivery.err.sdu=
ro.ril.qos.transfer.delay=
ro.ril.qos.traffic.priority=3
Thanks very much in advance
I am sure that qos and other tuning setting will make this very stable and worth the effort.

You don't mention your phone but Assuming you have rooted your phone, Using a text editor or a prop editor, add the following line in file system/build.prop, net.hostname=yourhostname this worked for me on Xperia sole
