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!

s 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

Torque itself is an excellent app, although it seems to be somewhat abandoned as far as development is concerned. Strange there is not a HONDA Civic specific PID addon yet ... But Torque Widgets brought my Head unit to a grinding stuttering halt, as soon as I installed it. I had not even got to set any widgets up on my Home Screen !! Touch response on the screen was VERY lagged, and MP3 player stuttered as it played. Animation in other apps became jerky. As soon as figured out it was Torque Widgets doing this (some 5 hours later of messing with the head unit) and I uninstalled Torque Widgets APP, everything returned to normal. Reasonably modern Px5 Unit, Android 8, 4 Gigs Ram, 8 core - did not expect this performance hit with Torque Widgets :( Would very much prefer this was fixed, vs getting a refund.

Like others have reported after Android 10, widgets are not shown although they are present as can be selected on launcher and resized, removed. Installed to internal memory so it's not that causing it. Shane as I was so used to having these on my launcher screen on Android 9.

Works for my Note20 I noticed it said in the widget that the widget itself isn't used, but you go into the main Torque Pro app and in settings->plugins->"allow plug-ins full access" needs to be toggled on. Then on my android phone I went Apps->Torque Pro‐>"Appear on top" and that's how I got it to work for me.

Widget although present on my home screen displays nothing. Like nothing. I know it's there because I can select it and move it but it's like invisible. Wish I had looked at the last update date before purchasing. 2016. Come on dev. No one on honeycomb these days. Update

Bought the app but then in less than 1 min found out just like the others that it does not work with the android software. Lucky within the time limit was able to get a refund. Hope the problem gets updated.

Does not work at all on an Android head unit. Tried ing technical and received no response. This review post only offered selecting phone so I could not list it as tablet.

This app pairs automatically with the other Racing app i have, it gives u Extra features plus more options with Gauges an that , is very worth getting it ,

fantastic to use with the wearable widget app, unclear on how to change it from metric to imperial though.
