Change device info in Android x86 running as a Virtual Machine
I have installed Android x86 as a virtual machine using KVM and VMware. I tried to changed the device info like device name and manufacturer using the following methods:
- Edited
/system/build.propfile - Used command
settings put global device_name <device_name> - Used sqlite3 to modify a table in
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.dbfile
But when I check in settings > About phone, there is no change. It just shows the default values like Manufacturer: VMware, Inc. ,Device: VMware Virtual Platfrom. I have tried with Android x86 8.1 and 5.1 in both the virtualization platforms.
How to change the device info in Android x86?
