Chromecast with Google TV - ambient mode timeout

by FiFOOQ

I just found out how to set custom ambient mode timeout ("When to start" time of ambient mode).

  1. Just connect with WIFI debugging (enable Developer Mode and enable USB Debugging)
  2. and type `adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 60000` (60000ms = 1 minute, u can choose your own time)
  3. It's all :)

adb shell settings put secure sleep_timeout 3600000

That is the command to modify the hibernate/sleep timer, the number equal to 1 hour in milliseconds, which can be modified to your preference.

I’ve been googling how to do this but i haven’t found an answer yet. I have developer mode enabled but I don’t see how to do wifi debugging and I don’t know where to enter that adb command

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you get to the point where you can enter ADB commands? I have found a guide on how to enter the dev menu and enable USB debugging, but now I'm pretty much stuck. Thank you!
