Widgets for Torque (OBD / Car)
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

Like others have reported after upgrade to 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.
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.
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.
New updqte Not auto load the widget after restart...
Android 10? Updated Samsung Tab S6 to Android 10 and now widgets don't work. At all. Add to home screen and they don't even show up. Update. Well over a year later and no result? No response from dev?.....
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 ,
Please update to work in Android 10 and 11! I need these for my Android radio! These used to be my favorite widgets.
Every time you try and setup the widget it crashes and disappears. Android 10
Doesn't support push buttons as widgets. I wanted a home screen widget to clear ECU faults.
fantastic to use with the wearable widget app, unclear on how to change it from metric to imperial though.
This is abandonware and should be removed from the play store. Do not spend your money on this; it does not work anymore.
Promising idea. Seems like the app was abandoned a while back. Doesn't work currently (11/2020)
Widgets don't appear on home screen. They're invisible...
As others have said this no longer works with current Android versions. Money wasted!
Doesn't work - widgets don't appear at all after 'adding' them.
Widgets stop working as soon as device is restarted
Worked until last update for Android 10. Please update app so can use again.
The widget just immediately disappears after setting it.
App doesnt work or update after reset.
Works well on my car android hesd unit. Is there a way to get the decimals away when using the speedometer widget?
Doesn't work with note 9
Wanted this to work but couldn't, my android version is apparently too new
Didn't seem to work when installed
Doesnt work with s10 plus new update
Not working... i paid for nothing... wasted money.. 😡
Abandonware. Save your money.
I use this app daily, only thing that's missing is the ability to have graph widgets, as I found these to be the most accurate for things such as boost and afr
Do you know why widgets , especially boost gauge doesn't show negative prices (vacuum) when inside the app the gauge works normally?
