You need to get build.prop file of system which is possible either if your device is rooted or if your has system privileges.... heres the code you may follow to get and edit build.prop Check this App in Play Store. build.prop Editor. Since it's open source, and the code is extremely simple, you can use it as a stating point: https://github.com/nathanpc/Build.prop-Editor

Try this : 

BluetoothAdapter myDevice = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
String deviceName = myDevice.getName();

Make sure you add to your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>

Try this:

String ownerInfo = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(),
    "lock_screen_owner_info");

As of Android 4.4.2 the owner info value is moved to lock screen database,/data/system/locksettings.db to which 3rd-party apps have no read/write access. That's, there is no reliable way of reading owner info for later Android versions except for rooted device.
