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?

Yes, it's a know issue. Youtube popup menu does not work in AA.

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?

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?

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.

Along with fermata, all the 3rd part applications disappeared from androidauto today. I guess Google blocked them all

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?

    Sounds really nice!
    Let us know in a couple of days again, please. I still have no time to check myself these days...
    Thank you again.

    It's been a couple days and seems that changing permissions/ownership for /phenotype/shared directory is sufficient, everything still working fine (in my case it is basically Fermata and the coolwalk interface).

    Hope it keeps working on future releases, but for now I'll stick with this one 😊

    So see my post above (recently edited and extended), check the content from Terminal, use the other file explorer, etc - read through and do as suggested

    And usually you need root and root grant to read /data

    Starting from A9, A10 and/or A11 there were some changes (it has been long ago, I don't remember details and btw I always update), I know that I had to update my MiXPlorer to read /data/data.

To enable this option, open AA settings on your phone and go to the "Developer Settings" section.

    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

    Seems like that :( Package renaming works, but I don't think it's a good solution. Google has many ways to block any app.
