[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Obviously. This is a standard AA media player, it does not have support for video. You need Fermata Auto for video, but, for some reason, your system does not recognize it. If you've enabled untrusted sources, installed the app via KingInstaller and still it's not visible in AA, then, perhaps, only root will help you.
[Android Auto General] dlugilong:
The problem is, that some users have Fermata Auto running on Android 11 and AA 6.9. I don't know why it doesn't work for me. And I do not want to root the root. I use the phone to pay.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
There are a lot of users (including me), running Fermata on Android 11 and AA 6.9. Unfortunately, I don't know why it doesn't work for you either.

Google Pay works fine on rooted devices. All you need is Magisk.
[Android Auto General] dlugilong:
I've had rooted Galaxy Note 9 and Magisk. Unfortunatly Gpay won't work, but my Bank apps was working. What is your phone model that Fermata Auto works for you?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Had you used Magisk Hide?

I've a Xiaomi phone, but with a custom ROM - Pixel Experience.
[Android Auto General] dlugilong:
No Not used Magisk Hide.

My assumption is that better not to root the phones You use to pay or the bank. It is too dangerous. Your Xiaomi has root? Maybe it is the MIUI12 overlay that is causing a problem? hmmm ...
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Yes, it has root, but I use non-root installation via KingInstaller.

I'll try on a non-rooted phone with MIUI12 and let you know if it works.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Tested on a non-rooted Poco X3 Pro with stock ROM. Android 11, MiUI 12.5.5. I've enabled "Unknown sources" in AA settings and installed Fermata Auto with KingInstaller. Everything works fine:
[Android Auto General] mikeho63:
You help me! i installed fermata auto app using adb. everything is fine, only when i open youtube i see the videos but cant play because i dont see the button to play(my car is mazda so i dont have touch screen). please guide me!!! thanks a lot
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Could you please add some kind of highlights for Mazda users? · Issue #57 · AndreyPavlenko/Fermata

Thank you so much for creating Fermata Auto. Could you please add some kind of highlights for YouTube so Mazda users can identify which item is currently select ed? I am using a Mazda 2 with touch ...

[Android Auto General] UZP:
Great application. Thank you

Only has one problem with application and the Toyota Head Unit: The Toyota Head Unit has a physical audio volume knob.

If, for example, I listened to Deezer / Pandora Radio / Spotify and I turn on Fermata Media Player - playing a movie on YouTube it all works great (Deezer / Pandora Radio / Spotify is quieting down),

but just move the knob on the Head Unit to change the volume, the YouTube image is frozen and there is no sound and audio from Deezer or Pandora Radio or Spotify is playable

I have to restart Feramat for playback to work This is probably a problem with the Audio Focus
[Android Auto General] mikeho63:
mình đang dùng mazda 3 2018, không có màn hình cảm ứng khi sử dụng aa
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Is this issue only reproducible with youtube?
[Android Auto General] UZP:
This also applies to audio playback in the web browser

The same happens when I play, for example, TV Horizon GO through the website
[Android Auto General] UZP:
I also use Screen2Auto and the module

And here I have it configured in Tasker that when I start Feramata Media Player, a window pops up where I can mute audio from other programs and leave only the audio from Fermat

Then the audio volume knob works ok in Feramata

In Android Auto I can't do that
[Android Auto General] zabaknilesh:
Does fermata works on latest Android Auto ver 7 and non rooted android 11 ? ?
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Dear Andrey

Fermata do not work with Android V7.1 anymore.

I hope you would find a solution soon...
[Android Auto General] gaduaxe:
Hi @Andrey Pavlenko

Fermato not work with latest AA, right? plz help
[Android Auto General] fcaronte:
Fermata stop working on 7.0 too were I use few day ago. I think Google blacklisted it, maybe try to rename package name can be a workaround
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Seems like that :( Package renaming works, but I don't think it's a good solution. Google has many ways to block any app.
[Android Auto General] fcaronte:
Is your app compilable from source were I can put my custom package name or isn't all open source on GitHub?
[Android Auto General] fcaronte:
Maybe adding a backup restore features to can easily move from a package name to other
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Android auto version 7.0.614104 works. Above this one do not work.

Edit: Wrong info Sorry. fermata deleted by ao after a while...
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Temporary solution with changed package name.
[Android Auto General] thuglifesk:
Google back to its dirty tricks again.
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Can we download them via AAAD onto the existing fermata (V1. 8.6) couple?
[Android Auto General] amarokfe:
Thanks , but there is bad alert when try to resume the old backup with gdrive .
[Android Auto General] thuglifesk:
Anybody play with audio delay settings to get a good setting for the horrible Bluetooth audio lag.
[Android Auto General] zabaknilesh:
Thanks... I can confirm 👍 temporary solution is working. May be we need to figure out how to dynamically change name of package while installing everytime 🤔
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
arm version

Hm.... I don't know why, but i'm unable to attach an arm apk file here.
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
How did you make it work? do you have root? do i use aaad or aastore? can you explain thanks
[Android Auto General] Bughater:
I got the same.

It seems I found a solution - clear data and clear cache of AA application, stop the app and restart phone.

Works for another apps, but not for Fermata. I found MS Teams installed from another source in AA when I enabled AA unknown source.

I suppose new AA doesn't recognize some fresh installed apps.

Clear data and cache AA solved that. But installed previously Screen2Auto disappear from AA app list.

To get S2A back I reinstalled S2A with King Installer, cleared cache and data AA, stopped AA, reboot phone.

It works now S2A and Fermata both without enabling unknown source in AA developer settings.

Details:

- new phone Moto G9 XT2083-3

- Android 11

- Android Auto 7.0.614134-release

- Fermata Auto 1.8.6

- King Installer 1.2

- Screen2Auto 3.6.1
[Android Auto General] FOXMULDER1977:
Great!

i confirm that with latest updated AA from PlayStore (7.0.614134 here in Italy) these APK works great!

Thank you for your work!

- I've a Moto G 5G Android 11 with root, APK installed directly with no AAAD. No need to remove previous version of Fermata, simply overwrited installed version 1.8.6
[Android Auto General] Arial_bold:
I just updated to AA 7.1.61 and Fermata is blocked again. Even the name swapped version a few posts back came up but when I open the app it is a blank screen with the "No messages" text. Any fix?
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
i tried to rollback Android Auto. but upon running AA, it force to upgrade. so now rollback have been block too
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Same as me 😞
[Android Auto General] fatihtuzun:
The renewed version was working while I was driving to work this morning. Now I am very afraid it will not work while driving back home :)

I hope a permanent solution comes soon.
[Android Auto General] Arial_bold:
Disregard my previous post, I was able to get the new name swapped version to work. Initially I just installed the apk but it turns out I needed to use the King Installer app that was linked in the first post for this thread.
[Android Auto General] fcaronte:
Can you please upload arm Version somewhere else if you can't add here? Thanks
[Android Auto General] keops68:
Hi Andrey its it's possible have fermata 1.8.7 arm,thanks
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Arm version in zip format.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
Got it working. (for now) :)

First:

Install Fermata Auto update through AAAD

Then:

1. Disable AA auto updates (important)

2. Uninstall AA updates

3. Install AA 6.9.xxx

4. Clear AA data/cache

5. Restart phone

Reconnect :)

I gave you the solution in #513.

Did it today and it's working :cool:
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
Ts solutiin is for few minutes, went open AA for second time Fermata no appear in the touxh screen, in this moment, repeat all tips, and appear fermata, for few minutes, every time is need all tips any people have another solution final?
[Android Auto General] mccrya:
^^^^ Yes you are right ! The solution is only until you restart the phone or close the applications from multitasking
[Android Auto General] sandrapuret:
good evening Friends ... Fermata is an excellent app and thanks to his creator !!! At the moment with the new AA update it is presenting problems, we hope a prompt solution. Besides that,

I have seen problems when I play videos in shuffle mode, and it is that the algorithm does not reproduce randomly .. it is a defect that comes from the vlc player and that was corrected with an add-on .....

but in fermata they don't seem to have fixed it.

Allways that I go to see videos in shuffle mode, follows the same sequence. there is no randomness and it is uncomfortable. I appreciate any information .. greetings and thanks.
[Android Auto General] ccpoon1982:
same here in Malaysia. tried update to fermata 1.8.6 with AA stay in old version 6.8.613354, first it works fine. but second day, when i stop my car and restart another day, it disappear. will need to clear data / clear cache every day in order to let Fermata to shows again. every day routine....really tiring & really a issue. Hope Sir Andrey can fix this permanently. thanks a lot.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
With all respect: You didn't follow all steps. Probably forgot to disable AA updates.

It works perfectly well on my AA today as well :)
[Android Auto General] viktorcz:
Hello.

I have the last update AA from Google market.

I just installed fermata auto from post #495 with Kinginstaller( #1).

Everything works fine for my phones:

Galaxy A50 and p smart 2019
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
This issue has been fixed - https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/issues/52
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Hi, which version of fermata you are using? From AAAD (V1. 8.6) or temporary arm version from previous page (1.8.7. - Temporary solution with changed package name. )?
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
1.8.6 :)
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
Hello i have disable update of AA in play store but every time, i need erase cache memory and another. In few time lost fermata, when you speak about update disable for AA you sepak over play store setting and disable update automatic app ? Thank you
[Android Auto General] jaro78:
That didn't quite work for me. The app is back in AA but I can't use it. It tells me "No new notification during this ride"
[Android Auto General] Jos71:
Ok pour moi fermata V1.8.7 supprimer le cache AA
[Android Auto General] lapsio:
I also have "no new notification during this ride" message and black screen.
[Android Auto General] lapsio:
How do you uninstall AA updates? For me app settings only show option to disable app. I can't uninstall updates.

I have 7.0.614134-release

Android 11

In fact I did not update Android Auto because I have automatic updates disabled. Only performed Android OS update since I forgot to disable auto OS updates and it seems to affect AA as well.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
#532:

Press the three dots in the upper right corner (see your pic) and "Uninstall updates" :)
[Android Auto General] lapsio:
I finally managed to install 1.8.7 after dozen of reboots and clean installs with Kinginstaller. It seems that "No new messages..." black screen is some bug due to old data in Android Auto cache and performing completely clean install solves it, even on latest AA, without uninstalling updates.
[Android Auto General] ncvaraujo:
How do I do that? First:

Install Fermata Auto update through AAAD
[Android Auto General] ncvaraujo:
how do i install 1.8.7 after dozen of reboots and clean installs with Kinginstaller?
[Android Auto General] OE316:
Hello Everyone!

I been using Fermata in my car since the summer. It has been amazing, just like many here, it is no longer appearing with Android Auto in my car. My Phone has never been rooted, so keep that in mind.

I followed the instructions of several members, but I am still hitting a wall. I just can't get Fermata media player to reappear under AA.

Do we have an actual solution, or are we in the waiting game?

Thank you for your time!
[Android Auto General] lapsio:
I did not use AAAD at all. I cleared data/cache of all Fermata apps, then removed all Fermata apps. Rebooted phone. Then installed ONLY 1.8.7 fermata using Kinginstaller, rebooted again and it worked.

You may try clear Android Auto cache before installing Fermata 1.8.7 with Kinginstaller to be double sure. Basically you need to NOT HAVE Fermata from AAAD because it seems to collide somehow. At least for me.

Kinginstaller is available for download in #1 post in this forum thread.

I had enabled Android Auto Developer mode all the time during process and enabled installation from unknown sources.
[Android Auto General] OE316:
Your solution helped me!

Is this a temporary fix? Would I lose the player after a restart?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
I've uploaded 2 versions:

1.8.7 - this version has the original package name and option to export/import preferences.

1.8.8 - this version has a new package name.

If you want to transfer preferences (settings, folders, playlists etc.) from an old version:

Install 1.8.7

Go to Menu > Settings > Other and click on "Export preferences"

Select the destination folder. The preferences will be saved in the selected folder.

Install 1.8.8

Go to Menu > Settings > Other and click on "Import preferences"

Select the previously exported file

Click Ok to restart the app

The new version has italian translation (including the voice commands) and new black themes. Thanks to Vladi69 for the contribution.
[Android Auto General] blackamikaze:
hi can i know why my youtube and browser have big font and picture. Like its zoom out. I dont have this problem with car stream browser or youtube
[Android Auto General] ForeverYoung7:
Thanks for fix it. I am very happy to use fermata app again in my skoda. Well done! Stay well.
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
I certify that the latest android auto version (7.1.614524) and fermata 1.8.8 version work without any problems. Download and install the new fermata with AAAD, when I tried to install it on 1.8.7, it gave an unpacking error. I deleted 1.8.7 and reinstalled 1.8.8 with AAAD. Worked perfectly.

By the way, i have a simple question. It always start, plays where we left off while playing the video. I couldn't find setting it to always start over. How do i set it? Thank you Andrey. Dont give up the fight 🔥
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Set the "Watched video threshold" to zero. You may configure this property either globally, in settings, or per folder (long click on a folder).
[Android Auto General] Beyazlı:
Fermata Auto v1.8.8

It seems that "No new messages"
[Android Auto General] OE316:
Thanks for all the hard work. I am back to playing media in my car! However, I am presented with a new conundrum. I can't get Fermata control player installed on my phone. I have the actual app installed, but not the control where it allowed me to control the music with my steering gear etc.

Any ideas? Thank you!
[Android Auto General] agentmyke:
Thx a lot it returns again @Andrey Pavlenko 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏👏👏👏👏

Fermata 1.8.8 \o/
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
great work Andrey with version 1.88 of kinginstaller fermata is worked, new, but i have any problem the whell control is disable do you have any solution please? Thank you
[Android Auto General] arjun2312:
Wow 1.8.8 version works flawlessly on Android 12 but unfortunately the Controller is broken it shows blank screen
[Android Auto General] OE316:
That's sort of where I am also at. The controller app wont even show up on my phone like it used to.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
Would it be possible to add the option of deselecting/hiding folders, favorites and playlists from the menu as well as the add on's?

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Auto General] sandrapuret:
Update your AA to 7.1.614524 ... then install 1,8,8 with king instarller
[Android Auto General] Beyazlı:
What is king instarller ? Is it root to phone ?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Unfortunately I can't reproduce this issue. If the issue is reproducible on you device, I could make some changes in the web settings and send you an apk for testing.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
What's the issue with the control installation?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
You need to install the control app.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
I've not tested it yet with Android 12. Have you tried to start playback on Fermata Auto? It should start control automatically. Make sure that control is of the same version. If you have previous versions, with original package names, of Fermata and Control installed, you should uninstall them both.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
You may change the nav buttons position. Just long press on a button.
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
Yes thank you is all ok, please remember number for you speak voice control thank you
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
i still having this problem on 1.8.8. i know AAAd works but i miss the opportunity and need to wait free quota next month. is there any work around solution. my phone rooted
[Android Auto General] arjun2312:
I am using the same version and tried to do playback on Auto app but still no controls, looks like an issue
[Android Auto General] gaduaxe:
If I have rooted phone & install/patch Fermata Auto with AA AIO Tweaker, is it works with latest 7.0.xxx AA version?

Now seem Google AA blocks fermata in blacklist
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
i have resolved this using kinginstaller
[Android Auto General] blackamikaze:
Hi andrey, it would great if you can make changes in the web setting and send me apk to try. Maybe setting to set the zoom percentage? Because everything looks zoom in.
[Android Auto General] arjun2312:
Hey Andrey if you can look into the Controller app 1.8.8 that would be super helpful
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Update:

Date: 19.11.2021

Android auto v. 7.1.614544

Still works. No problem...
[Android Auto General] fcaronte:
I got a video from an Italian telegram friend and on his new S21 with Android 12 was able to install correctly kingInstaller and then fermata auto from it without any problem, so there is no compatibility problems with Android 12 💪🏻
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
What's wrong with the app?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Try this. The settings are the same as the CarStream https://github.com/thekirankumar/ca...beauto/fragments/WebViewCarFragment.java#L510
[Android Auto General] Adesy1975:
Hi Andrey.

Up to version 1.8.6 I had no problems with the touch in the web browser when watching a video in full screen( for example in Prime Video when I want to go forward or backward). From 1.8.7. everything works except the touch in full screen video, only in the web browser.

Android 11

Android auto 7.0.614134

Installation with Kinginstaller.

Thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] mars08:
It was working... but now it's gone!!!

About two months ago I had the app (v1.8.0) working perfectly on my phone (Redmi Note 9: Android 10.0). I could use YouTube in my car, play movies using VLC.

Had not used the Fermata app for a while, and yesterday I noticed the icon was missing from Android Auto (6.9.613724). I checked the AA settings and there was no sign of Fermata. However the Fermata app was still installed on my phone.

I have now installed v1.8.7 of the app (using ADB commands) and Fermata-Auto-Control... but it the icon still doesn't appear in AA.

Have I missed an important step? It's annoying because it was working perfectly before.
[Android Auto General] ldc2335:
Awesome app, thank you dev.

Question... Can you set a URL or YouTube playlist as a favorite?
[Android Auto General] blackamikaze:
I have tried the new apk, but the problem still persist. I attached the screenshot. Maybe its not webview problem? Maybe its a resolution issue? Im not sure
[Android Auto General] arjun2312:
It doesn't work shows black screen and no controller
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Hi

When i push the car's multimedia screen for any reason (to change, select different folder etc) while watching movie with full screen (fill screen mode on), nagation bars and other options comes to screen.

After i finished my Job, I cannot turn bach the full screen again.

The navigation bar and the others remain at the screen.

How can i turn back the full (fill) screen while the navigation bar at the screen?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
I don't think something was changed in the web addon in version 1.8.7, but I think I know how to fix this issue. I'll check.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Install 1.8.8.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
No, it's not supported, but you may use favorites.
[Android Auto General] Jokedor:
Hi guys i installed fermata auto 1.8.8

But I get in the car the mesage "No new messages" too.

Installed with kinginstaller

Android Auto v7.0.6141

Developer options, mode developer. Unknown sources active

Procedere first update Aa and then install FA 1.8.8 via Kinginstaller 1.2

Is there some setting in the head unit necessary?

Phone is xiaomi-mi9-t-pro

Android 11

No root

Please can anybody help me

Thank you
[Android Auto General] mars08:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Should I also install a later version of AA?

I'm using 6.9.613724... What newer version do you recommend?
[Android Auto General] narcotic81:
Can you please make a simplified version of the app that is easier to control with BMW’s iDrive knob? My car doesn’t have a touchscreen and it’s very difficult to control with the rotary knob. Something like samsung music app but for videos.
[Android Auto General] bolix1708:
install with king instaler and install new version. Working just fine, also f control working, thanks to Andrej
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
First impression, WOW! Love this! Better in some way than Carstream. But the only concern for now, is the full screen on AA. On Carstream there's a feature to change aspect ratio, maybe look at the code and put it on Fermata!!

You solve this, I'll give you more than a coffee, I promise!

And BTW, if you found something to use the real fullscreen (the AA bottom menu is annoying), another coffee maker?? ahah
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
This is already implemented. To change the aspect ratio of the currently playing video - tap on the three dots in the control panel > Video > Scaling. There are also settings for audio/subtitle tracks and audio delay. You may also configure different video settings for different videos - long click on a video file > Video.

Unfortunately I don't know how to hide the AA bottom bar.
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
Your're right, but if I choose fill screen, I'm loosing the bottom because of the AA menu bar... Maybe having the option to stretch horizontally..

But all the features, really love it!!
