setprop net.hostname THE_NEW_HOSTNAME

I've been looking forever for an answer to this question! While going into terminal and changing the name of my device DOES work. As soon as I reboot my tablet, the device name goes back to it's original, horrendously long name. Any idea how to make this change stick?
