I'd like to change the device ID string which can be seen when I type 'adb devices' at command prompt. If I type 'adb devices' at command prompot then I can see below msg,
D:\>adb devices List of devices attached 5A3C000600000001 device Is there anyone who knows how the device ID(5A3C000600000001) string generated? And how can I change the device ID string?

In android go to Settings > Applications > Development and tap on Device Hostname. You can then change the name and it should show up when attached to adb.
You can now connect your device with USB. You can verify that your device is connected by executing adb devices from the android_sdk /platform-tools/ directory. If connected, you'll see the device name listed as a "device." Note: When you connect a device running Android 4.2.
Use the -s option followed by a device name to select on which device the adb command should run. The -s options should be first in line, before the command.
Connect your Android device and run the adb devices command on the Linux terminal. On your Android device, check the box for “Always allow” and then tap on the “Ok” button.
If you have root access, you can enter this to a terminal emulator:
> su (to gain superuser access) > getprop net.hostname (this should display the current network name) > setprop net.hostname <newhostname> Disconnect then reconnect from the network to refresh.
I was on a Samsung Galaxy Note on ICS. Worked like a charm...

Another solution can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462320. You will need to get root access and install a terminal client and do some low level hacking to get it fixed.
Another option is to use the Hosts app mentioned in http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-networking/3157-how-do-i-change-device-name.html, though I haven't been able to find the app he is referring to.
Best option I think is just install Cyanogenmod on your devices. It's the most stable custom android rom and has lots of helpful other features that aren't in stock android.
