Fermata Media Player - audio and video player for Android Auto

Search This thread
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!
Install with King and test.

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)

Hi all, I have a op3t rooted with Magisk, running AA 7.1 . I used titanium to freeze the play store and GPS so no apps auto update and i am not forced to update the AA version to newer versiopns, in case it causes a problem. To my surprise AA is still forcing me to update to the latest version. What do i need to do so that i'm not forced to update to the latest AA version ever. Someone suggested destroying all market links but im not sure if that a viable option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

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

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.

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.

    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
    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

    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.

    To install this version, you may either use the Android Auto Apps Downloader 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.

    Manual installation
    Before connecting to Android Auto:
    • 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.

    hi there

    i can confirm that fermata auto is fully functional in my pixel 7a ( Android 14 not rooted... stock ).
    I have a connection via AAwireless dongle with developer mode enabled.
    Icon "fermata auto" does not appear in section "customizer app launcher" of the android auto app on the smartphone ( only fermata control if installed), but in app
    drawer on the "tablet" of the my car ( toyota corolla hybrid) appear together with fermata control.
    It seems to work even when moving.

    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.
