What does the blue colour circle mean?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
If to stretch horizontally only, the picture will not be proportional. As I said, I don't know how to get rid of the bottom bar. Seems there is no any (known) solution at the moment.
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
Your're right, but if we don't care, why not incorporate this feature... Until somenone find a way to make the bottom bar disappear... Stretch it, who want the coffee now???? eheeh
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
Someone found a way to make the bar smaller. She doesn't want to remove it completly because it mean to remove the overlay of AA modifier, but, when the bar can be smaller by 50%, will tell what it will be with Fermata... Stay tuned folks!!
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
Now with the bottom bar at 50% smaller, when I set video scalling to Fill the Sreen it's a very good work around!!
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
How did you make it 50% smaller?
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
With AA Extras...

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/aaextras.rizzo.gabriele
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Can you share your setup for aa extras? How did you decrease the bottom bar 50% ?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
On the apps, I click Buy a coffee... Virtual cofee sent!!! Sure you don't want a beer instead???
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
On the weekends, please ;)
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
This is what it looks like on my car... You'll see bottom icons are reduced and the bar too..

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1of5y__UlqfFfKy2XFEL0byjffc28sWmp/view
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Is this a half of bottom bar? I cannot understand.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
If you see it before the mod, you'll understand...
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Anyway, substratum lite do not support my phone's android version (7.1.2)

No chance for me than.☹️

I hope Mr Pavlenko can figure out a way to decrease the width of the bottom bar.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] fire_qc:
Yeah, you need Sub Lite, at first I got problem to install it but got support from the Telegram channel.. But, have TWRP and a custom rom it's a must today. After, installing Magisk and Lite..

For the bottom bar, the mod is by Grizzo and comes with Extras for AA (different guy).

Thanks but, while using both new feature, my phone gives me "fermata stopped" error at start :(

Except this, other parts work without problem as before
[Android Auto General] jovianjm:
Hi Andrey, I have tested 1.8.8 and it is working fine, thanks.

However I just realized I could not choose any captions or even turn it on while watching youtube videos in my car

When I clicked the caption setting in youtube videos, it did not give a dropdown list like in PC browser.

I could do it through the phone interface though. Is it a known issue?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Yes, it's a know issue. Youtube popup menu does not work in AA.
[Android Auto General] jovianjm:
thanks Andrey for confirming that.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
I noticed, that Google wouldn't let me log in due to security issues in the "Fermata browser".

What a pity...

Can someone confirm and/or explain that?
[Android Auto General] mars08:
I understand that this thread is mostly about software issues and problems... so this might be the wrong place to ask...

How many people have been able to successfully use Femata v1.8.8 with AA v7.0.xxxx for a LONG period of time? Are they compatible?

I ask because I'm still using AA v6.9.613724 and am hesitating on upgrading to a newer version. Is there any SOLID confirmation that Google has blacklisted Fermata in the newer versions of AA?
[Android Auto General] agentmyke:

Is it possible to watch movies that are on the sd card or usb keys in the car?
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
Could someone please help me?

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
I can log in if the browser is not in PC mode.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
Bingo!

That did the trick!

Disable desktop mode, log in and enable desktop mode again!

Thanks, Andrej! Really appreciate your work! :)
[Android Auto General] rapdes:
I tried logging into Netflix on the browser, but when I type information on the keyboard when using android auto it doesn't enter into the fields, any ideas why this is happening?

Also I noticed that if I open fermata on my phone where I can log into Netflix, it gives me an error every time I try to play anything.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Netflix is not supported - https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/issues/37
[Android Auto General] rapdes:
Thank you for the quick reply. Does this also apply to most other streaming services as well then, like Hulu, Disney, Amazon, etc..
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
I've not tested.
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Fermata Auto (1.8.9) gone again... Only, fermata control stays. Interesting...
[Android Auto General] agentmyke:
True, today disappeared ****
[Android Auto General] fatihtuzun:
Along with fermata, all the 3rd part applications disappeared from androidauto today. I guess Google blocked them all
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
All #rd party apps disappeared. Im guessing we'll have to roll back the GPS to an earlier version. Anyone have any idea what combination of AA and GPS will work?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Seems Google has blocked the app again. Not only Fermata now.
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
Usually google blocks apps either through GPS update, or AA update. Will rolling back either work?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Not, it has been blocked server side by app name.
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
In that case, can we rename the app?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Yes. It has been renamed a few weeks ago, but, unfortunately, blocked again.

Olá, parabéns pelo plug-in nestas versões 1.8.9 parou de funcionar em todas as versões android auto tem uma nova visualização da atualização corrigindo o bug agradecido
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
The only solution now is dowmgrade AA at 6.9 entry in storage erase cache memori and data memori, next, force close, and power off when on setting AA and appear custom apk
[Android Auto General] dallasnights:
Downgrade will not work for me I did that and then tried to open app and it says I must upgrade to open Android auto
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
i am on aa6.9 yesterday. yesterday all ok. today only fermata control left😱
[Android Auto General] raouf77:
same probleme only fermata control, fermata d'ont show.
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Hi Dear Andrey

Can this problem be solved by giving the names of the applications that are accepted by android auto but not used by everyone? Audio books, nfl sport results whatever...
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
1.8.9 is also available from AAAD :cool:

Unfortunately this version is also blocked in AA...
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
No, it's fraud. But you can change to any name you want and it will work. Some people do it with Lucky Patcher (I've not tested). Also, you can build the app, with a different name, from sources.
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
Service play Google 21.45.15 + AA 6.9 Is all ok check version please
[Android Auto General] spektr23:
I have the same version and some apps are missing. Fermata auto is visible though.
[Android Auto General] bolix1708:
ok 1 i can confirm that even ver 7.0.1614134 work as well. ..........but no any version can play unless u do the followed sequences.

1. it s very important to delete all useabe data in AA. after that. deinstal AA

2.Install fermata auto 1.8.7 with king instaler . After that start fermata it will asking for update ...press only once it will install control at first . exit app.start again it will ask again for upgrade to vers 1.8.9 ...cancell that and disable autoupdate Fermata auto in settings.

3 install AA vers for your moby, for me 7.0.1 working fine and in play store disable autoupdate app .

Fermata working fine , ive made some mistake with fermata control because it cant be good FA 1.8.7 and FC1.8.9 ....but who cares? its working . Well Andrej that means that AA, google inc ,didnt disable app in servers using names.
[Android Auto General] bolix1708:
I need to say that i tryed all possible options with manny attempts , and as Charlie said i did it only when i've deleted usable data in AA aplications ,
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
The only problem is when pass few time, this metod, fall, no appear more apk custom, for this is necesary begin every tips new
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
Andrey please changer the name of this package of this apk. I sure this metod is the solution thank
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Renamed the version 1.8.9, but, I think, this is the last time. Playing this game with Google does not make any sense.

i found out u can access all the third party apps from Android Auto if you clear cache and clear data for android auto before you connect to your car. You dont have to downgrade your android auto. The problem is, you need to it everytime you want to connect your phone to your car, it just annoying because u need to setup android auto from the start.
[Android Auto General] Vifferen:
Can't you give it a random name each time it starts up? :)

@Andrey Pavlenko

OMG its gone! Again .... no sence, this is 2much .. we have to wait for better solution. damn google you need to ruin everything . maybe huawei make some new android auto app on his eco sistem ... then i will buy huawei mate ...

I think there is a trigger because rows are re-created. I wrote on xda AAAIO tweaker forum in order to explain that.

Hope this helps you.

Just to update those who are struggling with the FA app disappearing. After cloning v1.8.9 with Lucky Patcher on Monday and installing with King it's still available in my AA today. It would have disappeared soon after clearing AA cache/data had the app not been cloned. I'm using AA v7.1.614574-release now.

I don't have Android 12 to test it on but don't see why it wouldn't.

[Android Auto General] Moshe fasten:
I was referring to regular method via king installer without lucky patcher, Im wondering if lucky patcher can magically make it work on Android 12.
[Android Auto General] spark11:
You quoted my tutorial in post 669 asking if it works for Android 12. Then in post 672 you said it doesn't work. Then you said you're not using Lucky Patcher so not following the tutorial???
[Android Auto General] Moshe fasten:
Bruh you literally said you don't have Android 12 to test It.

So your answer to me is "I don't know"
[Android Auto General] spark11:
I stand by my answer to you in post 670. I don't have Android 12 to test it on but don't see why the Lucky Patcher method wouldn't work.

You told me cloning the app in Lucky Patcher doesn't work in 12 but you haven't tried it!? I suggest you follow all the steps in the tutorial and see how you get on. Good luck and all the best.
[Android Auto General] DarK_HumOuR:
i confirm.

i did all you said except installing the rebuilded app via king installer.

i installed the new app with the classic way

i pached the new fermata auto app with AA AIO Tweaker, as i did it before

(i pached every "fermata auto" app i have found in my apps menu. lol!)

and Android Auto also accepts the new pached app, and put it in the AA menu.

now i have my AA videos back in fermata auto.

[Android Auto General] markinhosmrk:
Hi, I´ve been trying lots of things and was surprised when I connected to the car today and Fermata was available.

Not sure it will stay this way, but overall what I did was:

Ran a script, mentioned on this thread, that created a trigger to remove some lines from phenotype.db (AppValidation__blocked_apps_list, something like it). I executed it and still it wasn´t working.

Messing around with the DB, on the Flags table there are some entries named AppValidation__allowed_package_list. It had two entries for Samsung messaging apps - I added the package name for Fermata, right before the :.

Fermata was installed manually directly from GitHub and enabled with AA Tweaker. AA is the latest version.

Not sure exactly which one of the steps made it work!
