Android BOINC ability to rename device name?

For enhancement request, I'd like to suggest the ability to add Android rename capability. All my Android phones just say Android so it is hard to track which one is doing what.

I can contribute some development funds to this enhancement if anyone is motivated and would accept a small donation for their time.

On Android the device name can be changed under the System -> Developer options -> Device name

Not on my device. I can change the device name via Bluetooth, and via Settings->System->About phone->Device name, but this changes the name only for "Other devices will see this name when you use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, Tethering & portable hotspot, and USB."

I agree with sunk818, I also have 20 androids and I have to check/reset if some of them are not "WCG efficient"

@sunk818, it took some time, but I did it in #2908 :). I don't know when will the new release be public tho.

Can I donate BTC instead? PayPal wants $1 usd to send you donation? 😖😧

[adamradocz]

I don't have BTC wallet.

@sunk818 The latest 7.16.3 beta contains the rename feature.

@adamradocz thank you! It seems to be a common request to have unique identifiers for Android BOINC. Great job!
