how to set the hostname on android

busybee

Which hostname do you want to change?
Please attach a screenshot.

busybee

In /init.rc, there's the hostname setting:
on boot              
# basic network init      
    ifup lo
    hostname localhost
    domainname localdomain                       

But I doubt that you want to modify that file.

You can also use busybox to set hostname:
   busybox hostname  myname

Also, there's /system/etc/hosts, which has the list the ip and hostname.
