Just got my second CC w/Google TV, and I'm stunned to find that for some reason, I can't enable Developer Mode. Going to System > About and hitting Android TV OS Build seven or even seven hundred times does nothing. Which means I can't enable the installation of third party apps and a bunch of other things.
Interestingly, the Android TV OS Build on the newer CC w/Google TV is different/apparently newer than the one on my first CC w/Google TV. See pics below—the launch/first one has QTS1.210311.008.7350836, while the new one has QTS1.210311.017.A2.7686849. (What's that "A2" all about?) In any event, the first one says the system is up to date.

I was able to solve this by just updating to the latest version using the builtin updater in settings. The out of the box firmware (which I didn't document sorry but was a 2021 fw) was giving me this same bug.
Never mind.
In case any of you "stumble" in here from Google, then just know that you do not have to UPDATE any firmware. I am on the April, 2021 Security Level and I just bought that new 4K Chromecast with Google TV.
Go to the SEARCH option in the TOP MENU on the HOME screen and do a Voice Search for TOOLS and then install "Developer Tools". It will basically ENABLE the Developer Mode and then you can UNINSTALL the App.
Easy and now I have Developer Mode, so I can install nefarious Apps to my Chromecast, muhahaha...
Thanks for "forcing" me to search and documenting a better answer with RESULTS !!!

Hello people!
This is my first app! I... unpublished it for a while for bug fixes.
It was out a while ago, and after the release, I started to work on my 2nd app.
during the 2nd app development, people who don't know how to use 1-kb (didn't know it's an IME and can't find the app icon cause... there was none...) or fail to connect to Appengine, had thumbed the app down without leaving me useful debugging information...
Here's the reboot of the app -> Google Play Link (now come with a network diagnosis button!! XD)
The main purpose of this app is to exchange texts between Android and PC. Android between Android would've work too... (will make this process much easier in the next release)
I've added an app shortcut, so, there's a main activity.
the IME (soft keyboard) is still there.
and the new features are:
■ without switching IME, via notification, you can now fetch messages directly into clipboard.
■ via Android's "SHARE", user can now share texts to PC through 1-kb.
the web app version is here. Sign in using you Google Account then start typing!
Here's the Chrome extension
and the Firefox Add-On, Ctrl+Shift+O is the shortcut key.
Windows native *.exe will be there one day.
PS: There's a "Diagnose" button in the main activity. Once clicked, it tries to sign in and talk to the server, and the actions will be logged. If anything goes wrong, please click on that and send me the log, appreciated!
■ Tested Devices
HTC Desire HD : 2.3.4 Gingerbread
HTC Desire HD : 4.0.4 ICS
■ Tested Browsers
Chrome 17.0
Firefox 16
IE 8
Best Regards, Hiro

With Android 6.0 a new power saver mode (Doze) was included. While people are getting better battery stats, Doze had a bad habit of knocking out apps with genuinely important roles to play. Android Wear too. Thethe new update Android Wear 1.5 adds awareness of Doze Mode and prompts users to add it to the protected list.
When you start the new App the first time,it will have a bright blue notice on the screen to let you know that your watch may not remain connected unless the Wear app is allowed to run in the background. If you press on the continue button, Android Wear will be added to the list of not optimized apps. Most of the actions with the watch are handled by the Google Play Services, but services like Voice Search are handled by the Android Wear App. Google Play Services are automatticly protected from the optimized Apps.
And with the 1.5 Update Google added support for Casio's upcoming Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10.
The first screen of the Android Wear App is now scrollable.

Greetings,
I have a Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 (TB-J716F). Is there any way to enable nearby share? I have the chinese ROM with updated google play and google play services.
I tried looking at Settings > Google > Devices & Sharing but the Nearby Share option is not there.
So it seems that permissions for google play was denied by default. However, I cannot find a way to enable the permissions. Permission manager (built-in) keeps on crashing. Is there any way to enable this?

You should be able to add permissions with adb, something like this:
Bash:
adb shell pm grant com.name.app android.permission.PERMISSION_NAME
So I was able to allow all permissions for google play and play services framework via app ops. I tried restarting and the "allow" permissions are still there. However, I can't still enable nearby share.
Can anyone please check if nearby share is available on their devices?
yeah I can't find it either...
just install old files from October last year without support for nearby share on all your devices and it will use legacy WiFi direct share method
you can download the files APK from one of the APK download sites but ensure it's not something that comes bundled with other stuff
and never update Files on any of your devices ever disable auto update for this app from play store as well.
I used this version v1.0.406984716.apk you can try others
There are many apps on Play Store that are free and can do this, but they may be contain Ads.
I write this app for personal use, and share it for anyone who needs.

There is only one function here: Turn off the screen and lock it, then you can unlock the phone by using Fingerprint or Pattern , it does not require passwords to unlock.
For android 11+.
How to use:
- Install apk
- Go to phone Settings -> Apps -> QLockScreen -> Tap on 3 dots (top right conner) -> Choose "allow restricted settings" (only Android 13+ needs)
- Go to phone Settings ->Accessibility -> QLockScreen -> Turn on "Use QScreenLock"
Now, everytime you open app, the phone will turn off the screen and lock.
Updated (13/feb/2023) : hide app on multitasks viewer.
Update version 1.6 (20/3/2023): Add action to intergrate with Google Assistant.
I have tested on Android 13 (Pixel 6a) and Android 12 (Pixel 3a XL)
Download from Play Store
