Someone mentioned to clear cache for AA, then reinstall the control. This should fix your issue. I reinstall fermata control with kinginstaller, then open the AA within App manager then launch in -app notification settings. You should now be able to see the icon on that list for Customize launcher screen. Let me know if that helps 😀

I ve try.

Android 11 does not works
[Android Auto General] spark11:
Can you elaborate?
[Android Auto General] unecc:
I ve installed with king, backup settings, unistalled, installed cloned version (with PL) with king... Restored settings

But the app does not appear in my AA.
[Android Auto General] spark11:
That's the wrong order. Assuming you did it on the right order ie. LP clone then uninstall not uninstall then LP clone are you're 100% sure you didn't uninstall the cloned app? Did the clone have a new name? Maybe you need developer settings on AA with unknown sources ticked?

Hi,

Can you please give me the proper evidence, why it should be Warez when Fermata on AD not is?

I disagree in your mod...

(Please do not misunderstand my intentions. They're in fact quite good)
[Android Auto General] TF666:
Fermata works on Android 11 rooted. To get it working one must:

- install Fermata as recommended using KingInstaller

- have a version of AA which does not force upgrades (7.0.614134-release is tested and works)

- detach AA from Play (Titanium or LSPosed Detach)

- use AATweaker AIO for apps like Sygic to make them show up in the AA
[Android Auto General] ForeverYoung7:
Some news to get work fermata again on android 12? Lucky Patcher not working.
[Android Auto General] yanqemil:
For me work ok on s21 ultra android 12 (not rooted) and android auto 6.9.613744 (with no auto update active in play store).

Fermata is 1.8.10 cloned with LP and instaled with Kinginstaller 1.2.
[Android Auto General] spyhunter88:
Just clone this app or it needs to change something? I'm new with this method, I have S21+ with Android 12 (not root), Android Auto 7.1.614574, install with KingInstaller 1.2 and Fermata 1.8.10 just force close on car screen.
[Android Auto General] ForeverYoung7:
Someone can put an Update for fermata? Thanks
[Android Auto General] CHARLY_A 1961:
Hello please i need information about fermata run over android 8 or 8.1 for my is imposible because no run king installer or another tools AAAD. I have 2 smartphone with root and no root with android 8.1 never run fermata and another custom app thank you
[Android Auto General] ForeverYoung7:
Glad to see, that the update to 1.8.11 is available. But seems not to be working on android 12..
[Android Auto General] jaro78:

How have you updated? Did you use the automatic update option or installed the apk manually?
[Android Auto General] anthonws:
I haven't updated to the latest version, but I can confirm that after updating to Android 12 it stopped working :(

[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Try with post #698
[Android Auto General] anthonws:
I did that before the A12 update and it was working (it worked for weeks).

As soon as I updated it stopped working.

Please note that I did not said that it is not visible in AA. App stills shows in AA, but simply doesn't load.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I don't have A12 (yet). But there was another user in the Screen2Auto thread here on XDA, post#2012 there, who was looking how to make S2A working on A12

He found this post here about Fermata on A12 and eventually posted a guide in S2A thread how he made it working both Fermata and S2A on his (rooted) A12
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Unfortunately, the problem is not in the app, but in Android 12, that blocks the app.
[Android Auto General] mars08:
Haven't had the app on my phone for some time. Today I installed v1.8.11 (on Android 10) and the Web Browser and Youtube worked fine.

Then I added my media folders to Fermata... On earlier versions I could select and play MP3, MP4 and avi files stored on my phone. Now the files don't even appear in the folders. Has the app functionality been changed? Should I still be able to play media files stored on my phone?
[Android Auto General] gorkems06:
would it be possible to get the keyboard work without "driving restrictions"... or implement a voice search button in the youtube section?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
The functionality has not been changed, you should be able to play the files. Have you granted the file access permission to the app?
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Unfortunately no. This is AA keyboard and it does not work while driving.

If the voice control is enabled in the settings, the voice input should be activated, when clicking on a text input field. You may also use the floating button long press and the steering wheel buttons to activate the voice search.

[Android Auto General] Beyazlı:

[Android Auto General] anthonws:
Hi Andrey,

The app works outside of AA just fine. And it is not like previous blocks from Google, since the Fermata icon (both) shows in AA.

Can you detail what type of blocking is being done?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Seems, the latest versions of AA check if the app is signed by Google, i.e. installed from the Google Play. If not, it fails with SecurityException: Wrong signature - go/gearhead-retail-device
[Android Auto General] mars08:
Thank you for your quick reply. I have found what I was doing wrong. When adding folders, I was using the "File system" option. I tried using the "Content" option and it worked fine!!! My mistake, sorry to trouble you.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
The Filesystem option should also work and it's preferable over Content, but it requires the file access permission.
[Android Auto General] mars08:
I checked the permissions yesterday. Fermata Auto had the "Storage" permission enabled.
[Android Auto General] ForeverYoung7:
So there is no possibility anymore, for get to work with Android 12? So sad
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Did you scroll back couple of pages - there were success story post(s) for A12
[Android Auto General] ForeverYoung7:
Hi

You mean scroll back Android Auto?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I mean scroll back last pages in this thread and look for A12 posts.

There is also Search in this thread but it's cumbersome

Work ok in Android 12.

Downgrade Android Auto to 6.9.613744. Put off autoupdate apps in Play Store.

Clone app Ferma Auto with LP and install cloned app with Kinginstaller.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Just one question - when you clone, it gives you apk file.

Why it couldn't be installed as any apk file?

I don't have A12 yet but I saw similar guides for A11 claiming to use KingInstaller for S2A - I installed the cloned S2A as a regular apk and it works (of course, by using also AIO Tweaker, older AA, etc - vut I didn't need KingInstaller)
[Android Auto General] yanqemil:
Not know how is work. But work with this simple procedure.
[Android Auto General] bo0mbox_239:
Hi guys, on A12 now because the phone forced the update lol, followed the procedure from first post to install with king installer with latest fermata version for AA. Then next step is to just reinstall AA by removing the updates then plug your phone to the car unit it will prompt to update AA. Hope this helps 🙏

Samsung Note 10+ Verizon (USA) Non-rooted.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Cloning the app is not actually required. Just install the latest version from github with KingInstaller.

AA downgrade is required for Android 12.
[Android Auto General] spark11:
Yes it is otherwise it will disappear after a few minutes when AA goes online and removes it from the home screen.
[Android Auto General] Smaksimka:
Подтверждаю рабочую схему для Android 12: дангрейд до 6.9.613744 и установка FA через KingInstaller. Немного пугает предупреждение от AA что требуется обновление иначе оно перестанет работать, но оно работает. Андрею респект и благодарность за труд.

[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
If your android version is less than 11, try installing the app with ADB, as described in the head of this thread.
[Android Auto General] alexchris:
I just can't understand how do you do this, if i downgrade, to 6,9 AA version or anyother version, every setting i tried, disable auto update, disable google play updates etc it just forces me to update, otherwise AA will not work. As soon as i plug de phone at the car's headunit i am greeted with a big message saying that i need to update urgent, if i am trying to skip AA will not work at all.

Anyway am starting to have enough of this Android bull**** that is copy-ing everything Apple does... i think it's better to go ahead and just buy an apple product beacause they are all trying to copy them.

Hi Andrey. I use Android 12 , Android Auto v6.9.613744. One day I got a notification from Android Auto : "You must update the app to use it." When i plug the phone into charge so Android auto updates itself even though auto update is turned off. What should I do ? When i downgrade again i can use Fermata Auto but when i plug it in again it updates again. Thanks in advance for your help. ( In higher versions, Fermata Auto appears on the screen but does not open at all. )

Does it also work with older Android versions (10 and 11)?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
For me it works on A11 -I set it up by the end of Nov (I posted a lot, config, everything, at that time, here and/or in Screen2Auto or AA AIO Tweaker threads), and still using happily
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I can never make Fermata 1.8.11 to work. It always says "Fermata Control seems not to be working"

Are there any clear instructions how to install?

- Should I install both Fermata and Fermata Control, both by KingInstaller, or how?

- Should I patch both of them in AA AIO Tweaker, or only Fermata or how?

For the matter of fact Fermata 1.8.10 (it came without that Fermata Control - whatever that Control is) worked seamlessly!
[Android Auto General] agentmyke:
Install with King and test.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Yes I did install with KingInstaller and it doesn't work: always Fermata Control seems not to be working

Again, can you please give clear answers how exactly you did to get it working:

1) Should I install both Fermata and Fermata Control by King (I did so, no luck)?

2) Should I patch in Tweaker only Fermata (as I do) or also Control?

Both are installed but when I go to Settings, Apps, it says that Control was never started?!

It means that Fermata doesn't even start Control (instead it writes: Fermata Control seems not to be working)
[Android Auto General] agentmyke:
Try to change your AA i use one recently version
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I was testing with the latest AA.

Thank you but I still don't understand while are you avoiding to answer the precise questions?!

Anyway - I have returned back to Fermata 1.8.10 - and my advice is: Use that version and disable in Fermata, Settings, Other, Check for the newer versions
[Android Auto General] agentmyke:
There is no method, install with King and run normally. Im using in My note10+ Android 12 with Last AA no problems with Last fermata. Maybe something about software of your cell. I dont know...

Hello everyone

I had on the Moto G5 Fermata1.7.7, Auto and Control, AA 6.3.61 on A 8.1.0 running without root installed with ADB

Now with AA 7.3.62 download AAAD 1.4.3 and install Fermata Auto 1.8.11 (F. Control I don't have it), on the mobile all OK but on the

AA screen of the car does not appear Fermata. Do I need Fermata control? In AAAD it does not appear. What am I doing wrong?

Can any of you help me?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Mohanad8:
thanks so much, app working well after installing with king.

I just have a problem when loading m3u playlists, they are large playlists, and sometimes when there is only 1 playlist the app keeps loading then stops responding.
[Android Auto General] 20ducks:
I have no idea if I am asking the right question in the right forum etc. but, here goes: I downloaded off a popular site dozen's of music videos. I play them through AAAD/Fermata and have no issues whatsoever. I would like, however, to be able to skip through some of the tracks (genre's are many) to a track I want to hear. When it circles back to tracks that I have skipped through it will only resume at that point I went to a new track. Do I make any sense? Anyway, I am trying to find out how to "reset" these mp4' so they will start from the beginning. I use a Samsung S21 Ultra non-rooted.

If I am at the wrong spot on the interweb to ask them please direct me where I should go for help. Thank you for your help.
[Android Auto General] markinhosmrk:
Hi guys,

For those who have root, I think I found a way to avoid Android Auto removing apps:

1. Clear app data for AA and set up it on your car the way you like it

2. Use a terminal to change permission for AA shared_prefs directory under /data/data/com.google.android.projection.gearhead (I used root shell, not sure if it would work without it)

chmod -R 551 /data/data/com.google.android.projection.gearhead/shared_prefs

It has been working fine for a couple days but I guess you won't be able to change any setting.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Can you please explain this permission?

What happens exactly when you change this permission?
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
This removes the write permission for this folder and the files there will remain unchanged.

This should work indeed. Nice idea.

[Android Auto General] Alejandro2454:
thanks and request for new features

Dear Andrey,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your excellent work creating auto fermata. For those of us who have MAZDA cars from 2019 onwards and do not have touch functionality in Android car, your software has been for us the great solution in functionality and quality to enjoy videos in Android car and we thank you very much.

In the same way we know that there are people who enjoy full-screen videos, but we also have others who, in addition to enjoying the video, want to be informed of the time and the weather, so we appreciate the functionality that allows it, as well as the functionality that allows you to define how long the controls will be visible, functionality that is very important for non-touch management in android auto.

For those who have touch functionality, I find it great to have the two new functionalities of google and YouTube in fermata auto. In relation to these 2 functions I have tried to test them in my no touch car and although from fermata it is easily accessible with the car's no touch controls (rotary control wheel), it is impossible to enjoy it and there is the problem that there is no way to return to the other functionalities, which forces you to disconnect the cell phone from the car and reconnect it.

I request for those of us who do not have a touch facility and by mistake we entered google or YouTube, if possible I can add on YouTube or google some "button" that allows us to return to the other fermata functionalities such as video playback.

Receive again my congratulations and thanks

Alexander
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Have you installed the control app? I checked it today - prev/next , rw/ff work for me.
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Thanks Alexander,

You can disable youtube and the browser in the settings > addons.
[Android Auto General] Alejandro2454:
thanks and request for new features

excellent Andrey, I don't know what had happened to do it like that.
[Android Auto General] nellobnn:
I mean It can be start the desired YouTube video or select video (maybe that you can Prev/next but without choose and start video) . I think that also of you enable to start the preferred video in playlist or favorites It can be and add on.

Thanks a lot
[Android Auto General] Andrey Pavlenko:
Unfortunately I have only media buttons on my wheel and I can't check. Anyway, this is a web page and it's quite difficult to implement a button navigation. Even for the prev/next functionality I have to inject JavaScript code into the youtube web page. If (when) Google change the page, this functionality, most probably, will stop working.
[Android Auto General] Alejandro2454:
show video thumbnails in fermata auto

Dear Andrey,

I would like to ask you if it is possible that you can add a function in fermata auto that allows folders to show a preview of the videos in order to make the search and selection visually easier and more attractive.

I mean a function similar to the one used by VLC in setting, interface, "video thumbnails", "show video thumbnails in list"

In my opinion it would be spectacular and beautiful in fermata auto.

Looking forward to receiving this suggestion

Sincerely,

Alexander
[Android Auto General] nellobnn:
You think that Is not possibile to link a specified YouTube video (a sort of bookmarks) in playlist or favorites? In this way one can use the control to move in the playlist and see videos.

How have you start YouTube video with steering control? I Remember that the First version of browsers using scroll select (underlining) each Press points.

Thanks a lot

Aniello
