What version?
[Android Auto General] mik101:
Thanks. I bet that'll do it. I'll give it a try when my wife gets home with the newer car. To those following along, don't forget to change the package name in the command.
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Please, report here. I'd sure be happy to have a Screen2Auto alternative. And especially working on Android 14.
[Android Auto General] Lucky_Luke_70:
Fermata auto 1.9.8 . The last one.

moreover, this version also added other "fermata" icons in the car drawer as well as fermata control and fermata auto.
[Android Auto General] ste___p:
Can you write me the AA wireless app settings?
[Android Auto General] Lucky_Luke_70:
I just changed to developer mode.

Literally. Passtrought disabled .. ecc ecc ...

I installed fermata auto originally from AAAD and then upgraded when requested.
[Android Auto General] ste___p:
I uninstalled version 1.9.8 and installed 1.9.6 and now it works
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Sorry but can somebody precisely describe what kind of S2A functionalities do you get with Fermata?

I've been using Fermata for 3 years or so (seldom) and I see YT and browser - am I missing something?

I have upgraded from v1.9 6 to 1.9 8 but I will definitely have to go back - v1.9.8 flickers TERRIBLY and I can not even scroll through YT videos bcs it constantly jumps back to the top of the list and flickers - video recorded:

File on MEGA

mega.nz

Then, when I open a video, I see nothing - empty screen, only audio and I have to pause, resume or minimize and maximize, some tricks like that to get it start playing the video to the screen

Sorry but v1 9 8 is almost of no use for me. I have never experience problems like that with the previous versions

Btw, I have shortly tested in the car, too. But more or less same problems (flickering) like on the phone.

And yes, it plays on the AA - but it worked for me over AA since the beginning, since 2020 or 2021

(Magisk, LSPosed and using Fermata as the LSPosed module - no need for King or anything special to install Fermata, no need to rename the package, no need to grant special permissions - when you install as the LSPosed module, Fermata works out of the box.

Using Fermata as the LSPosed module since the first version supporting LSPosed was released, since maybe two years or so ago)
[Android Auto General] David Vlk:
How should the mirror work? When I click on the Fermata Mirror icon on car display I see just a dark screen.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I have reverted to v1 9.6 and it works for me fine

These are my appops permissions (running Fermata as LSPosed module)

[Android Auto General] David Vlk:
Is there a reason to revert to 1.9.6 if I just want to see how does the new screen to auto function work? Or does it do what S2Auto app does?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Both in v1.9.6 and v1 9 8 I see Browser and YT/music player. I asked above, don't know what other screen mirroring ir would support (something to be similar to S2A)

However, with v1.9 8 it didn't play on AA (empty screen, only audio), with v1.9 6 it does

Unfortunately, before I start playing, both v1.9.6 and v1.9.8 flicker terribly (as I posted screen recording yesterday), I will have to find v1 9.1 - with that and earlier versions I never had that flickering

I still don't know what other mirroring functions should be expected - I asked above. I always used Ferata for playing YT videos in AA in the card and that worked for me over the last years
[Android Auto General] mik101:
That works perfectly. Sorry it took so long to test, we're in the middle of a blizzard here.
[Android Auto General] mik101:
It does mirror the whole phone like S2A does. The FS mirror seems slower in my vehicle than the regular Fermata mirror that was just added. Differences in my case are just the button control scheme. In the non FS version taping the logo in the right corner goes back to FA and double tap works like the home button. I think on cars that have larger or superwide displays one will be full screen and the other will be split screen. Need more time to test to verify, but it's definitely a great start.

I didn't have any flickering on 1.9.6 and don't on the current version either.
[Android Auto General] wyt18:
New screen mirroring is working great for me. However, everytime I use it, upon the next AA startup it will automatically startup together with Android Auto and take over the whole screen

Is there a way to avoid this autostart behavior?
[Android Auto General] lukccp:
But Fermata still works only on rooted devices or with AAwireless, right?
[Android Auto General] mik101:
Unlock your phone and accept the screensharing request...
[Android Auto General] mik101:
Likely. Google doesn't want you to have this. Hence the lsposed plugin to unblacklist it from AA.
[Android Auto General] David Vlk:
Using Fermata mirror switches off auto rotation on my phone. Once I start Fermata mirror app the auto-rotation on the phone switches off. I must go to settings and allow auto-rotation again. I am using Honor magic 5 pro on Android 13 Magic UI 7.1 and a Ottocast for Wireless AA. Anyone having the same problem? Any help?
[Android Auto General] David Vlk:
When using Femrata mirror to stream a video from a TV application I get no sound unless I go to my browser (Firefox for Android), navigate to YouTube, start any video with sound, pause the video, then I open O2 TV app and I get a video with sound. Without using Firefox first the O2 TV app is mute. I noticed in my bluetooth connections that Media Display (name of my car aa display) connects to AA as a call but refuses to connect media (when I click on the connect to media the button stays grey or it switches on and off imediately). I am using Honor magic 5 pro on Android 13 Magic UI 7.1 and a Ottocast for Wireless AA.

Any help?
[Android Auto General] David Vlk:
Sorry for spaming and posting in a wrong forum but maybe is over here someone who could help. With the latest AA 11+ release the icons on my car display changed to square. I hate the look of these square white icons on a black bacground. I know that AA 11+ has a new feature that the icons on the cars display have the same shape as the ones on the phone. But I believe that this feature works with Samsung, maybe with some other brands but for sure it doesnt work with Honor. I have changed the icons on my phone to circle but on the car the icons display square. I am using Honor magic 5 pro on Android 13 Magic UI 7.1 and a Ottocast for Wireless AA. Thanks for your suggestions.

How do you rearrange web browser Bookmarks? I can only seem to invoke the Remove function. Also there is a bug where the last created Bookmark will not appear in the list (although it does appear in Android Auto) until another Bookmark is created.
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
I know very little about the terms and there uses to get video with audio to play on my car screen. It worked perfectly for months. Now it will not let Android Auto do whatever it is supposed to do. I use Fermata Pro. WTF happened? I have over 100 Mp4 videos downloaded to my phone that have played on my Mustang GT cabrio. Now they only play audio in my car. The video and audio play on my Samsung S20 ultra. What do I need to do? (please be kind with the terminology), Thank you!
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
What is "Fermata Pro"? Where did you find it?
[Android Auto General] zrzhu:
Try the command below. I saw it on Github by mik1011984:

And for those that don't want the permission to cast/screenshare screen to pop up you can use this adb command from a PC with USB debugging turned on and the adb fastboot tools from Google.

To permanently allow:

adb shell appops set me.aap.fermata.auto.dear.google.why PROJECT_MEDIA allow

to undo it:

adb shell appops set me.aap.fermata.auto.dear.google.why PROJECT_MEDIA ignore
[Android Auto General] otromen02:
Hi,

Sorry if this have been asked before but why Fermata Media Player is available in Google Play Store, but Fermata Auto is not? It is from the same developer.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Isn't that a stone-age version from 2022
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
My setup: xiaomi 12 pro, running MIUI 14.0.7 and latest android auto. Able to run fermata. Update to hypes os based on android 14 available. Can someone confirm whether i will be able to run third party appa after the update to hyper os? Thanks in advance!
[Android Auto General] gianlu76:
Hi to all, has no solution been found to run Fermata Auto with Android 14 and latest version of android auto?
[Android Auto General] SHODLOER:
Hello

I've just install FERMATA app in my car Renault Megane ETECH wich works with Android Automotive, I try to launch my IPTV channels but I don't find how to do this ?

My IPTV works with a ling http://xxxxxxxx.com:8000 + login + password

Someone could help me ?

Thanks a lot
[Android Auto General] gianlu76:
Do you mean that fermata Auto runs on android automotive directly? I think no, you mean on android auto. (I have android automotive too on my Renault Austral e-tech but It runs by android auto).
[Android Auto General] SHODLOER:
Yes it works very well directly on the Megane ETECH or Austral Google Automotive

Just put the apk of the app on a usb drive and if you have the 2.1.2 version you should have a file app on the megane interface, open it then go to the usb drive and click on the apk to install it

you can do this for netflix apk app or anything else
[Android Auto General] gianlu76:
Great.....you are right. But I have a problem.....I listen the audio bit I can't see the image. About your problem, I don't know if Fermata Is able to add links with username and password. However if you want to try add a IPTV list you must open fermata, click on right bottom icon folder with "+" sign and give a name to your list and add the link for m3u.
[Android Auto General] robby2107:
Hi everyone,

someone knows a fix for the audio delay in YT?

You can set the audio delay for local files, but I haven't found a solution for YT yet.

Have I overlooked something?

I use a Samsung S23 (without root) and AAW.

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] seniorengdude:
You will need to enable Android Auto developer options then set the application mode to developer and select the tickbox next to unknown sources and it should work on the next connection attempt.
[Android Auto General] gianlu76:
If it were that simple this thread wouldn't exist
[Android Auto General] seniorengdude:
I must have just been lucky with mine, I hadn't seen this as a suggested workaround which worked in my case. I was just sharing my experience but feel free to ignore my suggestion.
[Android Auto General] lollo82:
Hi everyone! I had a pocofone android 14 and had fermata installed with AA using AAwireless. I used kinginstaller, did the trick with cable and everything worked fine. Now i bought a realme GT3 but even if i flag the realme/Oppo option in kinginstaller theres no way to see fermata auto on AA. I enabled developer options and unknown sources. Any advice?
[Android Auto General] costorico:
Se puede cargar archivo .m3u , si le das donde pone Location le das a la lupa y buscas el archivo , luego le das nombre y ya se carga
[Android Auto General] SHODLOER:
yes but my iptv channel doesn't work with a m3u list but with link + login + password...

anyway I have found a solution with GSE SMART IPTV which works very well in the Megane ETECH on Android Automotive
[Android Auto General] omek07:
What's the trick with the cable?
[Android Auto General] lollo82:
Not a real trick, but i read this howto: with the pocofone i couldnt see fermata, Just attacked It, then It appears and remains even wirelessly. With an AAwireless adapter
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
I upgraded my phone to a S24Ultra. All apps saved copied and transferred. I had AAWireless used flawlessly on my old phone now Fermata Control does not show up on the multi-app screen: no videos play on my car screen. I asked AAW for help and they instructed me to use Android Auto Developer mode. So I went through the process in Developer options but Fermata control is not on the option list. What do I need to do so videos play on my car video screen?
[Android Auto General] Toastking:
Is your new device rooted? If not, forget it. If yes, follow the instructions from my post:

Screen2Auto - New app for AA smartphone mirroring (only for root devices).

Smartphone screen on Anddroid Auto HU car screen For root devices only! Application features: - The main reason for creating this application is working with Android 9 Pie 1. Сompletely new application combining AAMirror & AAStream...

xdaforums.com

There is no easier way as far as I know.
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
My phone is not rooted.
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
This sucks. I went from a perfectly good video playback system plus I was also utilizing AAWireless.

Is there any hope for my unrooted system to ever work again?
[Android Auto General] emuandco:
Did you enable Debug Mode in AAWireless App, too? This helps great over here with my Pixel 7 Pro. Tested and proven working on Github several times.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
The screen mirroring seems to be coming up automatically where Google/Waze should be, surely there's a way to prevent that?
[Android Auto General] Benoe:
You need to switch off your car with Google/Waze as the main app on the screen, then it will come up with Google/Waze at start as well.
[Android Auto General] DarK_HumOuR:
hi all

a noob question here.

i used Fermata Auto in my rooted phone to see my local videos and YT through Android Auto for many years.

many times i use to make zapping through my local videos and go to next one before the previous finishes.

the Fermata Auto remembers exactly the time that i left the video file and when i came back to it, it starts from there and not from the beginning of the file.

how can i setup the app to start always from the beginning for each file?

sorry for my bad English, i hope i am understood
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Thanks. Seems to be working now.
[Android Auto General] Marie khan:
Not stop
[Android Auto General] robby2107:
Hello everyone,

is there a way to permanently limit the maximum resolution on YT (e.g. to 480p).

Currently I have to set each video manually to get a good compromise between quality and data rate. Especially since most displays in the car don't support 1080p or higher anyway.

I also have the issue with the audio delay for YT videos. I can synchronise local videos from my mobile phone, but for all videos accessed online (YT or websites) I can't find a way to synchronise image and sound.

Thank you very much.
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
Some dude posted that he would have a cure for this and will post it in a few weeks. That was about 2 months ago. I looked for his post and that is gone as well, was that bogus or what?
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
Let me understand the current situation for playing video on my car screen: it is in limbo. This waiting is depressing.
[Android Auto General] vegetaleb:
Fermata app can't be "forced closed" and it's eating my phone's battery because it's always working in the background.

Any solutions?

hai bro did u try fermata V1.9.9,how is goes.or u still using 1.9.6
[Android Auto General] plapic:
Version 1.99 implemented a launcher for the Fermata Mirror which is great. My question is it loads immediately when I select Fermata Mirror in AA however as soon as I select one the apps from the launcher it requires me to unlock the device and as I recall the previous version I had to unlock Fermata Mirror before it could run but now somehow that is bypassed so can you bypass the lock screen when launching apps?
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
I had Fermata working on a Pixel 6a on Android 13 without root.

Once updated it to Android 14 it stopped working.
[Android Auto General] eng3:
I would like to play videos on my AA screen.

I have a Xiaomi 14 Ultra running Android 14. I'm using the xiaomi.eu rom and am rooted. I also have AAWireless but mainly want to use this while using cable (in rental cars)

I installed the latest version (from github). I see the LSPosed module and it is enabled. I can see Fermata on the AA app menu. But when I try to play a video, it only plays the audio.

Reading the first post, it's not clear to me what additional steps are required to get video working.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Long ago I used Fermata on Xiaomi.eu with Android 13 and I think I needed to give a permission (to overwrite the screen?). Search through the posts in the thread
[Android Auto General] eng3:
Thanks, I didn't read all 54 pages and I guess I was searching for the wrong thing.

I just clicked on the Fermata icon in AA and it came up with the GUI to select a video. I selected a video and it showed the (audio) media player UI and started playing. Video playing on phone.

I didn't see any error (like it asking for permissions) or the app behaving strangely.

So I thought perhaps I had it in the wrong mode or wasn't using the app properly.

There is some confusion as I see talk of "fermata control" but the latest release notes says it was removed. There is also reference to "fermata auto" vs "fermata mirror" vs "fermata fs" vs "fermata" but I only see one. None of which is clear from the first post. I also did not use AAAD and just tried installing the apk from releases. It sounded like AAAD or King was only needed for non-root.

UPDATE: I enabled the overwrite screen permission and and enabled accessibility permission and it started working.

Audio sync is way off but I can adjust it.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I didn't mean that you read all posts from the beginning but to use Search this thread.

And generall to google about XDA Fermata permissions and/or similar.

Don't count on Fermata to pop up for permissions you need😁

But glad that you granted permission and fixed it

And yes, when running Fermata as LSPosed module, you don't need AAAD, King or so to let you show Fermata in the AA, screen. Btw, otherwise, what would be the advantage of using Fermata as LSPosed module
[Android Auto General] rapdes:
What's strange too, is the video shows there's supposed to be two app icons, I only have one. Also is the app supposed to ask for root, because it never has, only the phenotype app has root.

The app works perfectly fine on the phone, just won't launch on AA.

And what is the .aab file listed under the assets on github? I only installed the universal-64 apk.
[Android Auto General] Alejandro2454:
so that the second icon appears you must also install the control for steering wheel controls "fermata auto control apk"
[Android Auto General] rapdes:
Thank you I installed the auto control apk and also installed the .aab bundle over top of my existing install, and now everything works fine. Thanks for your help.
[Android Auto General] Alejandro2454:

[Android Auto General] diegomsg:
Great app, working fine in my car multimedia

Finally found a good folder navigation music player. Worth donating
[Android Auto General] AfterForever666:
I also have just 1 icon (the fermata control). I have the auto control apk installed, but how do I deal with the. aab to install over existing install like you say? Could you help me a bit?
[Android Auto General] Alejandro2454:
let me ask you a question, in addition to fermata auto control, did you also install fermata auto?
[Android Auto General] AfterForever666:
Yes i did. Installed 2 apk's for Fermata and then also Phenotype. I've gotten it to work without problems on a galaxy note 9 and a oneplus 7 pro, but the MI10 Pro is a problem. I suspect MIUI may be handling things differently.

I experimented a bit further and found that if google play services gets updated in the background after Fermata was installed and working fine, the Fermata Auto icon disappears.

So, I uninstalled Fermata and then also the Google Play Store updates. Then I updated Google Play Services again, rebooted and installed Fermata apk's again. And everything works fine again.
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
Is it working with AA 5.4.5 or do i habe to roll back to 5.2? thx!

Sorry for the late reply. I've just checked and it works for me. Android 10, AA 5.4.5.
[Android Auto General] rapdes:
After some testing it seems like it's not AA issue but a play services issue. If I uninstall google play services updates all the third party apps show up in AA 5.4.5 but as soon as play services updates itself again all the apps stop showing up in AA 5.4.5

This is on OP7pro running the latest version of OOS stable.

Make sure you are not installing a beta version of the play services.
