change device hostname? - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Hey there, I wonder how I can change the hostname of my Nexus 4? Trickster Mod Tool doesn't seem to work :S

settings -> dev options (enable it in about phone and click build number 10x if u havent) -> device hostname -> rename it.
wrong forum also.

Not on my Stock 4.2.1 :S

Rooted and have busybox installed?
You can also edit net.hostname in your build.prop

Yes rooted + busybox.. but that would go back to stock whenever I update my ROM ?
Also, how exactly can I do that?

no one?

It's no woo-do magic here
Code:
setprop net.hostname <x>
where x is the hostname. You can google more about it http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+how+to+change+device+hostname
But, it is reset everytime you reboot the phone.

What rom are you using? Normally it should be possible to change it in Settings > System > SMS Threading.

Let's see. I'm using this ROM, the clean version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542664
The Dutch version does have a system menu in the settings menu, but nothing I can see about sms threading.
Ok let's just do it the old-fashioned way then.
Go to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
And set
SMSInboxThreadingDisabled, DWORD =1.

Make "Disable HW Overlays" permanent

Hi. Does anyone know how to make the "Disable HW Overlays" option found on some ROMs permanently checked / persistent after reboot? I'm using JellyTime R13 on my DHD. Thanks.
I don't think that there's an option to do that. But ticking the option every boot isn't all that hard.

Agreed...but if there is a better way then I'd be very keen to learn of it.

On the JT R15 developer thread, someone has noted that it is a known issue.
I'm not sure whether they mean it is a known issue that the HW Overlay box is unchecked after reboot, or whether the graphical issues with checking Disable HW Overlays solves is an issue.
However, people are talking about it, and that pleases me.

Also looking for a permanent solution for my Inspire 4G, is frustrating to run the camera or play a video and have the phone restart cause I forgot to switch the setting last boot.
This will work!

Thanks man! i was just looking for the shell cmd but this works ! *on android 7.1.2 initd. d needed to be emulated....i dont beleive its the default "load on boot" protocol any longer but emulation via kernel auditor seems to do the trick. Doesnt matter as long as i dont have to manually set check the option. Appreciate the work.

Dear @titanic_fanatic, can I kindly ask you if you can adapt your script to make the Skia GPU renderer on Android Oreo applied on boot without it resetting every time? Thank you for the original idea anyway, it was brilliant, I use always your script
Why should I do that? Can you please explain it? ?

Still works on Galaxy S5 Lineage OS 16 SmartPack kernel (oc to 2.6gHz btw) and manager. Thanks! Bookmarked this notably good post .. :good:
Works fine on a Poco M3 running A11. I've attached a basic Magisk module with titanic_fanatic's script, since that'd probably be easier to use for most people.

In facts I do download a copy early from the internet and found it is working. Only sometimes it may force close.
I didn't change any read / write permission. It just works
Works fine
For me its crashing by going into settings.
And I can't set an alarm, says "function not supported on this device"
But thanks anyway for this

You can change the premissions with Root explorer in the play store, root requiered, just hold on the file for option, look for "permitions" and set as told in the thread

[Q] How to disable SoftNav buttons in Chromium JB ROM build 9?

Hi all,
just updated to build 9. Awesome ROM, but i found these annoying SoftNav buttons after flashing.. Could not find any option to disable the SoftNav bar. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Settings > Chromium ROM settings > Expanded desktop > Status bar visible. Hold power button for a few seconds until power menu comes up and then choose Expanded desktop.
Got it!
Tricky.. Thanks a lot!
Thanks, were looking for that, too.
Also, you posted some recommended settings here. Where do I find those options?

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't have that option in the menu. Is that any possible?
Just to verify it, I uploaded screenshots of my menu. There is no "performance".

Oops sorry about that. To enable the performance section you need to go to about phone and tap on build number 7 times. Then it should appear along with developer settings.
