Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want!

It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time

It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!

Torque also features:

* Dyno / Dynomometer and Horsepower/HP & Torque

* Can read Transmission Temperatures (vehicle dependant)

* 0-60 speed timings - more accurate than just using plain old GPS - see how fast your car is (or truck )

* CO2 emissions readout

* Customisable dashboard & profiles

Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996) if in doubt check with your manufacturer first or look for 'OBD2' on written on a big white label in your engine bay

Works on vehicles made by Ford, VW, GM/Vauxhall/Opel, Chrysler, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Jaguar, Citroen, Peugoet, Skoda, Kia, Mazda, Lexus, Subaru, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, Seat, Dodge, Jeep, Pontiac and many more vehicle makes, European, US, Far East, etc. Some vehicle ECUs may support more/less features than others

The app needs a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to work. The adapter is small and plugs into the diagnostics socket on the car which gives your phone access. You can find a list of adapters on: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters (Garmin EcoRoute HD adapters not supported)

If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 bluetooth adapters from ebay / amazon, then make sure you have a good returns policy with the seller

Some of the best reliable OBD2 / OBD adapters are the Scantool.net adapter, the OBDKey, and PLX Devices, OBDLink, Bluetooth, ELM327 and other adapters are supported - search on google for them

More features added every release - there are forums at http://torque-bhp.com/forums/ - if you want something added then let me know and I'll try to add it if it is possible! Vehicle ECUs vary in the amount of sensors supported

*PLEASE NOTE* Any reports of hanging or reboots after quitting the app is due to a bug in HTC devices and Galaxy Tab,this can be triggered by using the Pandora/Vlingo/Other BT apps. Disabling Pandoras new bluetooth settings fixes the problem, but HTC/Samsung need to release a fix.Please contact their support and request a fix,Thanks!

SMS Backup & Restore is a simple Android app that backs up and restores your phone's text messages.

- Backup SMS Messages in XML format.

- Choose a scheduled time to automatically backup.

- Backup format is independent of the Android version so the messages can be easily moved from one phone to another, irrespective of the Android version.

- Option to select which conversations to backup.

- View/Restore all Messages or only selected conversations.

- Delete all SMS Messages on the Phone.

- Email a backup file.

- Automatically Email or Upload to Dropbox & Google Drive using the Add-On.

- The XML can then be converted to other formats, and can also be viewed on a computer.

Please note that this app does not support MMS (Picture/Audio/Video) messages.

This app is ad-supported and requires the Internet permissions to display the Ads.

If you do not want ads the they can be disabled from preferences or you can buy the paid version from the Market.

On newer phones with inbuilt storage the default backup location will probably be the internal storage card and not the external.

This is because the phone reports the storage that way.

If you intend to do a factory reset on the phone, please make sure you save/email a copy of the backup outside the phone before doing it.

Lots more info at http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/sms-backup-restore

FAQs can be found at http://bit.ly/d9t7Jk

Please start the app at least once after updates so that the scheduled backups start working.

Developers are not able to respond to comments posted on the market, so if you have question or a problem please either send emails or post them on the website.

This App needs the following permissions to work:

* Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): To create the xml file on the SD card.

* Your messages - edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS (android.permission.READ_SMS, android.permission.WRITE_SMS): Needed to read SMS during backups and write them during restore.

* Your personal information - read contact data (android.permission.READ_CONTACTS): To display and store the contact names in the backup file.

* Network communication - full Internet access (android.permission.INTERNET): For displaying Ads.

* Network State - (android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Required by the Google Admob Ads so that it can check the state of the network before requesting Ads.

* System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK): To prevent the phone from going to sleep/suspended state while a backup or restore operation is in progress.

* Hardware controls - control vibrator (android.permission.VIBRATE): To vibrate the phone when an operation is completed.

* Read Phone State and Identity - To fix an error caused during Restore on some phones.

* Automatically Start on Boot - Start Scheduled Backups.

Recent changes:

v6.00:

- Added an alternate Restore method as a workaround for Restore problems on some devices. The app will prompt the user to try the alternate way when the restore fails. It can be manually switched on from Preferences as well. The alternate Restore may result in the Phone App crashing, pressing OK on the message will restart the app. After that Resume Restore.

- Opening the app after a failed Restore will prompt to Resume Restore.

- More bug fixes.

SystemPanel Lite integrates a task manager, system monitor, and detailed device information.

No ads.

Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.

See website for more info screenshots.

-- Frequently Asked Questions --

Why does CPU #2 appear "grayed out" on my dual-core device?

- A grayed out second CPU indicator indicates the second core is asleep to save battery. This is generally a good thing, it will turn back on when needed.

Why does it require the ______ permission?

- SystemPanel does require a fair number of permissions in order to be able to perform all of its duties. This product DOES NOT send ANY information from your device over the Internet to ANYONE. It requires the "Internet access" and "telephony/read phone state" permissions only to monitor and display the device's network connectivity state. A full description of why each permission is required can be found in the SystemPanel FAQ on our web site.

Does SystemPanel Lite consume battery?

- SystemPanel Lite does not run in the background in any capacity. The full version includes an optional "monitoring service" which uses about one minute of CPU time per day to record the CPU usage of other applications (though it is disabled by default). This feature is not found in the Lite version though.

Does SystemPanel automatically kill tasks in the background?

- No, SystemPanel is not an automatic task killer. It has been well-established (by the Android documentation and direct communication with the Android engineers) that randomly or periodically terminating arbitrary tasks in the interest of saving memory will NOT yield a benefit in performance or battery life. The only benefit you will see from an automatic task killer is if it happens to terminate misbehaving apps. The full version of SystemPanel provides a better solution to this problem by showing you which apps are consuming CPU in the background (over time) with the "System Monitor" feature. It is then recommended that such applications be reconfigured or uninstalled (or perhaps corrected by filing a bug with the offending application's author).

A much more extensive FAQ is available on our web site.

Please visit our web site at http://android.nextapp.com for more information, including a complete screenshot tour of the product.

Important Information:

A bug in Android OS is causing BigSMS to fail on certain Jelly Bean ROM's. I am actively pursuing a fix however this is a fundamental OS change and as such is out of my hands. I will keep everyone updated as and when I know.

BigSMS is confirmed to work on:

1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x, 4.01-4.04

Please e-mail me rather than negatively review it. I am desperately trying to fix this.

Thanks for looking at BigSMS (Big SMS).

This tool was designed to address the message size problem on the majority of Android ROM's.

On most un-rooted Android smartphones, a text message exceeding three times the standard length is converted into an MMS. Network providers often prevent users from accessing the menu required to change this setting. As such, owners are left with the choice of rooting their new smartphone (voiding the warranty), installing a bloated SMS client from the Android Market (offering very little extra functionality) or gritting their teeth and bearing it (paying more in the process). This app solves that problem. You can send a text message of unlimited length using the simple interface provided.

Current version: 0.6b

Features:

Unrestricted message size. Fixes "converting to multimedia message..." problem.

Contact list integration. Select recipients from your stored Android contacts.

Multiple recipients. Send BigSMS to several people at once. (No MMS conversion)

Sent Messages stored in native Android SMS Sent Folder.

Delivery Reports, that are integrated with native Android SMS system (not enabled by default).

Lightweight, fast and simple to use. Not bulky like other bloated SMS clients on Market.

Developed using standard Android API's making it compatible with almost every GSM/CDMA enabled Android device available. (1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x with future support for 4.x expected if problem still exists).

The tool is still in development so you can expect plenty of extra features soon.

This is my current TODO list:

Preferences to enhance user experience.

Background Service.

TODO:

Extra Languages

Notifications

I used a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 running 2.3 Gingerbread, and the Android emulator running 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.1 to test and debug this software. Please comment on how it performs and looks on your device.

To enhance QWERTY keypad support, this software was tested using a HTC ChaCha but should support the HTC Desire Z and other QWERTY devices.

Please send all feature requests, comments and bug reports to skezzashredder@gmail.com.
