In short

Widgets for Torque (OBD / Car) is a torque app for Android made by Ian Hawkins. It helps to have graph widgets.

Highlights

Only thing that's missing is the ability to have graph widgets

Great dev great app great widget

The Torque app works great

I have been able to really make a really awesome layout

Great addon for Torque

But now it's just a source of great anointment

No response on the Torque forums from anyone in all this time

Slow to update and slow to refresh once you come back to home screen

The switch widget is pointless and has no affect

Totally screwing up my Dash Installation

The only way to stop it was to completely remove this widget

Not good companion to the actual Torque Pro application

Description

Get vehicle OBD engine information as a widget on your home screen! This is an add-on for Torque Pro, the OBD2 car app for monitoring your vehicle engine management data. You can find Torque on the Android Market It lets you display the various dials and widgets from the app on your android homescreen! Monitor all the standard OBD2 sensors as you can in the app such as coolant, RPM/Revs, Transmission temperature*, knock retard*, MPG, HP and Torque! For example, you could have a trip fuel cost widget displayed on your homescreen, showing your total trips fuel cost (perfect for when your kids are using dads taxi!) There is an on / off toggle widget that you can also add which will pause the homescreen widget updates and to control the startup of Torque itself. Turn the widget off, Torque will shutdown, turn the widget on and Torque will start up automatically. This widget needs the Torque OBD app, and will automatically start Torque to run in the background as a service (the app has been optimised to be very power efficient). It will then automatically connect to your vehicle when you start a journey and start showing information! Supports phones, tablets, and tablets running honeycomb Please note: Using launchers like ADWLauncher/TouchWiz may result in slow updates of the widget, the developers of those launchers will need to fix their code so it can update the widget faster. Works fast with the default launcher that comes with Android * = capability dependant on vehicle.
