feat(app): allow users to rename their Omi device

[eulicesl]

Closes #2824

Summary

• Add a rename dialog in Device Settings — tap the device name row to open it, long-press to copy
• Extract updateDeviceNameOnConnect() into SharedPreferencesUtil to centralize device-switch detection/name preservation and remove duplicated logic
• Introduce deviceNameDeviceId to track which device owns the custom name and avoid stale/overwritten btDevice.id edge cases
• Show custom name on device home header (fallback to hardware name)
• Preserve custom name on disconnect; clear on unpair/forget (clears both deviceName and deviceNameDeviceId)
• Add 4 l10n keys: renameDevice, enterDeviceName, deviceNameCannotBeEmpty, deviceNameUpdated

Scope (current)

• 41 files total (+602 / -10)
• 5 functional files (feature logic/UI)
• 36 localization files (app_en.arb + flutter gen-l10n generated outputs)
• Localization files are intentionally included to keep context.l10n.* usage and generated APIs in sync for merge/build safety.

Demo

• Note: Demo recorded on the dev/staging backend (api.omiapi.com), so the STAGING banner is expected; rename-device behavior is backend-agnostic.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a useful feature for renaming devices. The implementation of the rename dialog and the logic to preserve the custom name on reconnection are well done. However, I've identified a couple of issues that should be addressed:

1. Critical Bug: The 'Forget Device' functionality does not clear the custom device name, which is contrary to the feature's description and user expectations. This violates the rule about ensuring UI element actions are consistent with user expectations.
2. Code Duplication: The logic for updating the device name on connection is repeated in five different places. This should be refactored into a single helper method to improve maintainability, aligning with the rule to prefer existing helper functions over inlining logic.

My detailed comments provide suggestions on how to fix these issues.

Changes:

• Add a rename dialog in Device Settings (tap to rename, long-press to copy).
• Guard writes to SharedPreferencesUtil().deviceName in DeviceProvider/OnboardingProvider to preserve custom names.
• Add new localization keys and regenerate localization outputs.

Reviewer context (guideline alignment):

• Scope is tied to bounty issue rename my Omi device ($300) #2824 and targets main.
• Added required l10n keys and committed generated localization outputs to keep APIs in sync with source changes.
• Manual verification completed for rename flow (validation, save/update, header display, disconnect/unpair behavior).
• No public docs changes required for this internal settings/UI behavior update.
• AI-assisted during development/PR prep; final code and behavior were manually reviewed and verified.

@beastoin addressed Codex feedback on latest head fd6c0d0:

• translated the 4 rename-device keys across all non-English locales and regenerated l10n outputs
• fixed offline unpair path to clear deviceName and deviceNameDeviceId

PR is ready for final maintainer review when you have a moment. Thanks!

[eulicesl]

Superseding this stale/conflicted PR with a fresh replacement based on current main to reduce reviewer burden and avoid unrelated merge drift.

Replacement draft PR:

• feat(app): allow users to rename their Omi device #5952

The new PR keeps the scope tight around #2824:

• rename device from settings
• persist custom name locally
• preserve name across reconnects for the same device
• reset to hardware name when switching devices
• clear stored mapping on unpair/forget

I’m leaving the replacement as draft until CI/build checks pass.

[eulicesl]

Closing this in favor of #5952.

To keep the maintainer review path clean and unambiguous, I refreshed the device-rename work on a current branch and moved it to:

• feat(app): allow users to rename their Omi device #5952 — feat(app): allow users to rename their Omi device #5952

Why supersede this PR:

• this branch is now stale/conflicted against current main
• feat(app): allow users to rename their Omi device #5952 is the clean rebased branch on top of current main
• targeted validation was re-run there
• that PR now reflects the canonical review path for the rename-device feature and bounty evidence

User-visible feature scope remains the same:

• rename a device from settings
• preserve the custom name across reconnects for the same physical device
• reset to the hardware/default name when switching devices
• clear custom-name ownership mapping on forget/unpair

Closing this older thread to remove ambiguity for maintainers.
