I was having problems with HDMI CEC on my GT1 Mini. Every time I turned on my LG TV for playing games with XBOX, or something else using the same HDMI port, the GT1 turned on too. I found annoying not having the ability to disable CEC in settings and disabling CEC on my TV was not an option because I would lose other things that were well functioning, so I managed to disable it using ADB.

Prerequisites: you must have adb installed and you need to be on the same network of the GT1

If you want to disable it do this.
Turn your GT1 mini on, open a terminal/cmd window on you mac/pc and digit ($ is the prompt)

$ abd connect <GT1 IP ADDRESS>

your GT1 will show a windows asking for permissions, you have to confirm that.

Next, digit:

$ adb shell settings put global hdmi_control_enabled 0

Reboot your GT1 Mini and test your results.

To re-activate CEC do:

$ adb shell settings put global hdmi_control_enabled 1

It's really that simple.

Have a good day and excuse me for my english!

No. The point is avoiding the GT1 turning ON even when you don't need it.
