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. )

Sorry, but I don't have a solution. This issue is discussed here - https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/discussions/121

Today I got AA update 7.1.614594.
Why I am not getting 7.2? Should I download from apkmirror and install manually?

Video resolution button not pressed on youtube. It automatically selects the resolution. This problem on the car screen. There is no problem on the phone.

Thanks it works now!
But I have another problem. My car screen is not Touchscreen, so I see only the first 6 channels in my list. When I scroll down to the other channels the cursor bounces to the "taskbar" of the app, where I can stop the playback.
Is there any chance that the cursor goes to the other channels when I scroll down?

Unfortunately, there is no solution at the moment. The only workaround is to use phone.

Hello. Has it been possible to do anything to make the Mmi control work without touching with arrows or with a touch pad?

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!

    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.
    Maybe your browser or its version does not cope with

    To install this version, you may either use the Android Auto Apps Downloader (recommended) or, for manual installation, follow the instructions below. Before the installation, make sure that the "Unknown sources" option is enabled in the Android Auto settings. To enable this option, open AA settings on your phone and go to the "Developer Settings" section.

    • Download and install the attached apk.
    • Open KingInstaller.
    • Select Fermata-auto.apk, downloaded from Github.
    • Press the install button.
    Installing from PC (adb utility is required, does not work for Android 11+):
    • Install adb - https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
    • Connect device to USB
    • Open console and run the following commands:
    • adb push fermata-XXX-auto-universal-armXX.apk /data/local/tmp/fermata.apk
    • adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r /data/local/tmp/fermata.apk
    • adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/fermata.apk
    Installing from Android (ROOT is required):
    • Install the downloaded apk.
    • Download and install AIO Tweaker - https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker/tags .

    • Install the fermata-auto-control apk. This application is only required if you need support for steering wheel media buttons.
    • Start the player, grant permissions and add folders.

    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.
