New Version Of Locale - G1 Apps and Games

You'll be happy to hear that we've just released Locale 0.3 beta this week. To install the update, simply:
1. Open the Android Market
2. Search for Locale
3. Tap on Locale
4. Tap on Install
The update resolves the PM-AM time boundary problem you ran into, as well as these other changes:
New Features
- Time Condition now supports day of week
- Network Setting now supports GPS
- Battery Condition now supports plugged-in and unplugged
- Contact Condition now supports accelerated scrolling
- Calendar Condition displays which calendar each event comes from
- Location Condition supports easier renaming and deletion of locations
- More thorough in-application help
Bug Fixes and Enhancements
- Better location detection
- Calendar Condition and Time Condition now detect changes immediately (previously it could take up to 10 minutes)
- Fixed a bug with Time Conditions spanning across the PM-AM boundary
- Fixed a bug where large locations couldn't be edited. Zoom controls now display even if a location fills the screen
- Notifications dismiss when leaving a situation

cool.
love the apps, keep them coming.
....cannot wait for cooking to start, but I think im not the only one...lol

just wondering.."Network Setting now supports GPS" means its posible to use locale features using gps only, without 3g location gethering?

Can anybode send me a link to the .apk oh this app for use on my HTC Tattoo, please?
THANK YOU

This is in the wrong forum; reported.

[APP][2.2+][11 Dec. 2022 - V3.1] BetterBatteryStats

I started BetterBatteryStats because I was missing the great battery history that Spare Parts allowed to call on Froyo. It has been a long journey since the first version. BetterBatteryStats provides an insight in following categories:
- General "other stats "overview: Awake, Deep Sleep, Screen On, Phone On, Wifi On, Wifi Running ratios
- Kernel Wakelocks
- Partial wakelocks
- Alarms/Wakeups
- CPU States
- Network stats
- Process stats with User and System CPU time
Use so called references BetterBatteryStats shows data for different samples over time:
- since boot
- since unplugged
- since charged
- since screen off
- custom references
- any combination of the above (e.g. from screen off to screen on)
BetterBatteryStats is calling the "batteryinfo" service of Android to retrieve data already lying there without generating overhead. Since Kitkat Google has revoked the permission for normal apps to access these stats (without valid reasons IMHO). You can read more about that here.
Fortunately and thanks to @Looki75 there is a way to work around the restrictions intruduced by google in Kitkat and run BBS on non-rooted devices. Please see here for more details.
BetterBatteryStats has been tested on Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb (3.1, thanks to daveid), ICS, JB, Kitkat and Lollipop on different ROMs and Kernels.
What are wakelocks and why should you care about them?
When it comes to Android the most discussed and commented topic that I know is battery drain / battery life. I'm a quite heavy user because I spend a lot of time on the train every day reading my mails, surfing and listening to music but still my phone is off for a long time during the day and while I accept the battery being drained while I use the phone I care about it draining slowly while "doing nothing".
Wakelocks or to be more precise partial wakelocks is a pattern than helps devs to make sure that important pieces of their code do not get interrupted. Wakelocks are not bad per se, they are a tool. There are many poor implementations that make use of wakelocks and BBS helps making that transparent.
Caution: do not use and wakelock supressor tools. They will cause an erratic behavior of your phone, causing more harm than good.
Basically the phone has (simplified, kernel devs don't shoot) three states:
1. awake with screen on
2. awake
3. sleeping (that's you phone favorite state)
The transitions are from (1) to (2) and finally from (2) to (3). Now as long as you use your phone it's in (1) and does not leave that state as long as you keep using it interactively. If you stop using it the phone is aiming to go to (3) as fast as possible.
And here's where wakelocks are important: as our phones as smartphones they tend to do background processing. Some of this processing is important like e.g. making a phone call, listening to music or synchronizing your contacts.
As the phone wants to go from (2) to (3) and on the other hand you don't want to hang up while you are in a call the app keeps hold of a wakelock to prevent that transisiton. When you hang up the partial wakelock gets release and here we go (the phone goes to sleep).
So partial wakelocks is a tool and it's not something that we should forbid for obvious reasons. Now there are cases when the design on an app is not real life proven (conditions of poor of no converage) and the wakelocks have negative effects because they are held unnecessarily or for too long.
BetterBatteryStats identifies these wakelocks and using your expertise or the once from our users here you can understand what happens and find a strategy to change that for the better.
And what about wakeups?
Wakeups (alarms) is a pattern to be used when an application should to something after a certain period of time (or at a certain time). Again, an alarm is a tool and is nothing.
On the other hand there are a lot of poor implementations that BBS can help you discover:
- alarms waking up the device when all the app should do is refresh the screen: in such cases the app uses the wrong type of alarm, there are alarms that are specifically to be used only when the screen is on
- to frequent alarms: in case of e.g. poor network conditions some apps may use alarms to repeat failed network operations. Doing this too often will cause too many wakeups (and wakelocks for doing the handling)
- apps that wake up your device when you did not expect any activity while screen is off: you can use the info provided by BBS to contact the dev about such issues
Try it yourself
If you need help
Always add the whole context when asking for help. Most of the times a dumpfile is helpful, sometimes screenshots showing your observations may help as well.
Before posting a dump please make sure that the references for kernel wakelocks and alarms were processed correctly. Reading a dump takes a few minutes and it would be great if you could not waste the time of whomever studies it, aiming at helping you.
Generally a dump "since unplugged" is better than "since charged". When you start your analysis make sure to follow following procedure:
- enable watchdog processing in BBS settings
- verify from/to references is checked under custom views
- full charge device then let it run down to ~95%
- put device to sleep for at least 6 hours (no touchy!)
- wake device and launch BBS
- adjust from/to references to 'screen off' and 'screen on'
- save dumpfile from share menu
- post resulting log to this thread (or provide cloud link)
I will not reply to posts with incomplete dumps
Reporting bugs
If you want to report a bug please make sure:
- that you can reproduce the problem
- explain what the problem is, how you could reproduce it and what is going wrong (a sentence lke "xxxx does not work for me" is a waste of your time and wil be ignored)
- enable debug in advanced prefernces
- post a logcat
A good read about reporting bugs
Translations
Starting with 2.0 BBS is getting multi-language. Currently following languages are included:
- en: main language, maintained by me
- ru: translation thanks to @gaich

Release
Edit 2021-06-13: Google has pulled BBS from GPlay. The given reason is that I use a library (HockeyApp) that allows installations by other means than the GPlay; that is correct except that library is a) deprecated and does not have backend anymore and b) the GPlay edition does not use that library, only the xda-edition does. Anyhow, I am working on a fix
BetterBatteryStats is available on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats) for what I believe is a fair price. If you like my work and want to support me please fell free to show your gratitude by buying the app.
Google play users can register to be part of the public beta programme. Selected Release Candidates will be released to google play as part of the beta programm. You can enroll to the beta programme here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.asksven.betterbatterystats
Follow me on Mastodon to be notified of updates and get insights in new features/developments.
xda edition: for xda-dev members I provide an always free and fully featured version of BBS (please play fair and do not redistribute the app without my consent).
Current test-release:
I have moved to an automated build system (older releases are still attached here) and do the distribution using AppCenter.
Privacy note
Access to the downloads does not require you to register to AppCenter (you still can to benefit from neat features like notifications when new releases are available)

FAQ
1. Q:Will BBS be fixed to support Kitkat (I get "Services could not be contacted" errors?
A: Kitkat is supported by BBS starting from version 1.15
2. Q:Why are partial statitics not available on Kikat?
A: If you have a rooted phone enable the advanced root features and all will be fine. If you have no root unfortunately you are stuck without Partial Wakelocks as Google has made changes to prevent apps to access that data (see also here)
3. Q:Why installing BBS as a system app as everything works with root?
Deprecated: BBS does not require the system app anymore
A: Starting with Kikat BBS has 3 modes: without root a limited mode provides a minimal set of stats. With root the set of stats is complete but some stats (other, partial wakelocks, processes) still use a workaround. Finally with the system app BBS is fully featured without any workaround.
4. Q:I have high wlan_rx kernel wakelock. What is it and how to proceed?
A: This kernel wakelock is caused by Wifi waking up your device. To avoid it you should turn your Wifi off if not using it, use a tool to control your Wifi state or try to find and remove the cause. More here
5. Q: Google Maps is causing a lot of overhead. Must I freeze it?
A: no, Karpfenhai wrote step-by-step instructions on how to configure autostarts and the location service to avoid that
6. Q: Are you aware of the bug in BBS causing SuperUser to ask for su-permissions over and over again
A: As you said, SuperUser is asking over and over again, it's no BBS bug as BBS only requests su rights. More here
7. Q: BBS shows "no ref since unplugged"
A: Starting from 1.9 is is mandatory to plug/unplug after boot to get a "since unplugged" reference to be created. Starting from 1.10 there is anew reference "since boot" and a preference to fall back to that reference if no other is available.
8. Q: Why can't you just skip deleting the references at boot?
A: If I could I would. In a nutshell: BBS is a passive monitoring tool; this means it does not cause any overhead collecting data but compares snapshots. Now the disadvantage of this is that it makes no sense to compare values of counters between two references (e.g. "since unplugged" and "current") if the counters were reset in between. In fact that would potentially cause negative values, in every case wrong values.
9. Q: But is used to work before. Why did you change it?
A: It didn't work, you just didn't notice. The kernel and Android reset their counters at boot. That means that there is no way to compare counters from before the boot with counters from after.
10. Q: What do the widget colors / graphics mean?
A (new round widgets): the legend is displayed if you resize the widget
A (legacy widgets): For the large widget it's pretty simple. The colors represent the values "Since" (blue), "Deep sleep" (green), "Awake" (yellow), "Screen on" (white), "Kernel wakelocks" (magenta), "Partial wakelocks" (cyan). The 100% is the max of those values.
For the small widget see here
11. Q: Where are the dumpfile and logcat saved / how are the files named?
A: Both files are saved to /sdcard, their names are BetterBatteryStats-.txt and logcat-.txt where timestamp is of the format "yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmssSSS" (starting from 1.12 there is an option in advanced prefs to save those files to the private directory /sdcard/Android/com.asksven.betterbatterystats/files).
12. Q: Are you aware of the fact that BBS does not work properly for secondary users (Android 4.2)?
A: BBS works fine for secondary users as long as you don't enable root features. The reason is not BBS but the lack of support of the multiuser feature in the superuser/supersu version you are using.
13. Q: What is *overflow*?
*overflow* is a sign that one stat counter was overrun. This may happen if you have not boote your phone since long or if some wakeup/wakelock is very frequent. The only way to see what is hidden behind *overflow* is to reboot and take a fresh reading.
14. Q: Why is 'screen off' reference not being created?
A: You have to enable the watchdog for that reference to be created
15. Q: Even after plugging/unplugging my phone no reference except 'boot' is shown
A: something is preventing the unplug event to be passed to BBS. You should check for tools like greenify or stamina mode that mask such events and make sure that BBS is whitelisted. On newer Android versions please also make sure that BBS is not "optimized" by Android, under "Settings - Battery Optimization"
16. Q: What is the watchdog and how does it work?
A: The wachdog is a feature to help you in analysing when happens when screen is off. When the watchdog is turned on a reference 'screen off' is created. You can also configure the watchdog to create a reference 'screen on'. Opionally the watchdog will notify you when screen is turned on and the awake ratio was bigger that the configured threshold. In order to avoid too much overhead in processing a threshold can be set to disable the computing for short screen off times.
17. Q: my logcat is empty and says "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory"
A: Check if you have a custom kernel that turns off logging. If not some file permissions may be broken: use the repair permissions function from your recovery
18. Q: How can I get rid of GSF wakelocks
A: GSF (google service framework) can not be avoided and in no case it should be frozen. Here are some settings that can help reducing the overhead.
19. Q: The other stat is wrong. It shows "No data connection" and "No or unknown signal" while was online with Wifi all the time
A: "No data connection" and "No or unknown signal" refer to your cell data (2G/3G) service. As you have had Wifi on for some time the cell data was turned off, consistent to what the stats say: work as designed
20. Q: I can not install BBS as a system app. What can I do.
A: BBS does not require the system app anymore
A: If you are on a version older than 4.4 you don't need to install BBS as a system app. If you are on 4.4+ you should first try the in app installer. If for some reason it fails you can use the CWM scripts attached to install / uninstall BBS as a system app
21. Q: I am suffering from a high NLPWakelock time. Is there something I can do about it?
A: Here's a good summary of what NLP is and how it can be positively impacted (thanks to @Perseus71)
22. Q: On CM12 based ROMs the launcher crashes when placing a widget. When will this be fixed?
A: I can not find anything wrong with BBS code and the crash occurs in the launcher, not in BBS. After spending quite some time trying to understand the problem I must conclude that the problem is with CM12 (other ROMs on Lollipop do not have this problem)
23. Q: I can not or do not want to root my devices but would like to use BBS to gain insight. Can this be done?
A: The answer used to be "no" but this has now changed. See post #4 for a detailed description on how to proceed.
24. Q: I can not get BBS to work. How should I proceed to find out the cause
BBS has no dependency to any root-tool and does not require root to work, it only requires specific permissions that can be granted by:
- using ADB as described in the FAQ
- letting the app grant itself the permission if root is available
25. Q: BBS Shows a permanent notification. Can I remove it?
The notification is due to the android app model having changed and now requiring apps that run in the background to show themselves. I have put the "background app" notification into a separate channel named "BBS Event Processing" so you can disable it if it bugs you: no other vital notification will be send to that channel
26. Q: What is this popup saying "Detected problems with API compatibility"?
For Android 9.0 Pie users getting the "Detected problems with API compatibility (visit g.co/dev/appcompat for more info)" popup error please see this post.
When diagnosing / analysing there are a few important things to know:
- the app (advanced settings) shows you whether the permissions were granted or not
- when checking if any acition had a positive result you should always use raw stats as the default view does a diff between two snapshots, i.e. if one snapshot is missing it may show no results
- logcat may give you some info about what is going wrong, e.g. the app not being able to contact the battery_info service
Running BBS on non-rooted devices
This is not an april's fool joke!
TLDR;
This knowledge article describes a method to enable BBS to run on unrooted devices on Android versions starting with Kitkat (on previous versions root is not a must). More about that here: http://better.asksven.org/bbs-systemapp/
As it requires a few tools to be installed on your pc it requires some basic knowledge, understanding, and the readiness to tinker and to learn.
What is describe here is a method to inject according permissions required to access the battery stats using the android debugging bridge to issue commands from the pc. This will allow to grant the needed permissions, that will survive reboots.
Credits
All credits for this brilliant approach go to @Looki75. My special thanks go to @Perseus as well as to the supportive bbs community in general for their tenacity, feedback and constant support and feedback.
Details
Congrats, you made it until here, let's get started.
We will go through all steps of the setup. If you are aware of the tools and techniques please feel free to jump to the appropriate section.
The initial post on this topic as well as the basic steps (for advanced users) can be found in this original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67441059&postcount=30632
1. Install necessary ADB drivers and exe on PC
This may be the tricky part but we can leverage some experience in that area. A good read:
The 15 second adb installer
2. Enable USB debugging on phone's developer options
This is pretty straight forward:
http://www.howtogeek.com/129728/how...menu-and-enable-usb-debugging-on-android-4.2/
Congratulations, your are now a developer!
3. Connect phone to PC
The easiest part: connect the usb cable on both ends. When you connect the phone to PC on ADB, some models will throw a authorization message on phone Screen asking if you authorize this pc to access the phone. Its a Android M Thing.
4. Run the commands:
This requires some explanations and some hints about how to check what may have gone wrong.
Once you have connected your phone via usb start by unlocking your phone and by issuing the command: adb devices
If it came back with a Device name instead of waiting for device or "no permissions" (on linux), then you know its safe to go ahead with the real command. Its this adb devices that also triggers the Authorize pc command.
If the "adb devices" command does not return a positive result you may want to look into:
a) on windows the proper installation of the special usb drivers
b) on linux you may need to add some udev rules. This may help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32151114/adb-is-not-detecting-my-android-device-on-ubuntu
If the "adb devices" returned a positive result is is safe to proceed:
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
Adapt the package name depending on which version - XDA or PlayStore (without "_xdaedition" extension) - you have installed
Update: starting with 2.3-150 two new permissions are required to support alarms fully on unrooted devices
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.DUMP
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS (needed starting on Lolipop)
Update: starting with SDK28 (Android 11) google has restricted access to the private APIs that BBS uses. Google is fuzzy about the why and arguments in terms of privacy and security.
You will need to run the following (assuming your device is not rooted, otherwise BBS takes care of that for you) for BBS to get access to these APIs:
SDK28 (Android Pie / 9)
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy_pre_p_apps 1
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy_p_apps 1
SDK29 (Android 10 and following)
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 1
Note: a restart may be required after applying the global settings...

Other useful tools
The default battery usage (Gingerbread): Settings -> About Phone -> Battery Usage
The most interesting data is shown when clicking on the graph (bars below the graph). Unjustified "awake" times when display is off is an indicator for rogue apps doing stuff in the background when you think your phone is asleep
Battery Monitor Widget
Has a great stat on battery drain over time. I use this tool regularly after leaving my phone alone for 1/2 hour to check how the battery drain looks like against my benchmark of 2-10 mAh average (optimal for my SGS2).
[android backup service]
(http://code.google.com/android/backup/index.html). It is a service that offers cloud backup/restore of your settings and offers an API for other apps to do the same (http://developer.android.com/guide/t...ta/backup.html).
You can turn it off (but will lose the automatic backup) under Setting -> Privacy ->Back up my data.
Backups are useful though but no need to do it in the cloud, I'd recommend scheduling a regular backup using titanium instead (that's my setting).
[DataTracker-FD] is fast dormancy. Find the 'secret' codes for your device to turn FD off. *#*#9900#*#* on an SGSII. (contrib. by nobnut)
[syncmanagerhandlesyncalarm] That service is documented here (http://www.kiwidoc.com/java/l/x/andr.../c/SyncManager) and is responsible for updating the accounts you have under Settings -> Accounts and Sync. High values may come from bad settings (sync too often, huge amounts of data) or poorly written providers.

Been looking for something like this since I installed a GB ROM!
So, basically I install this app, and then Spare Parts should work as it normally did? (or dial *#*#4636#*#*, or whatever that is)

No Spare Parts won't be of any help as BetterBatteryStats does not replace com.android.settings.battery_history.BatteryHistory (called by Spare Parts). Installing the app you will get a new icon and will get the stats when starting it
Excellent work! Just what Gingerbread needs. The very best of luck with the app!
Thank you.

Ah, I see, so I use this app instead of Spare Parts. Well awesome, thanks for the clarification, and the useful app!
This is great. What about mimicking the part in spare parts that showed percentage running time? That's valuable info too. I've seen many times where running time was pegged at 100 yet there wewettewere no partial wake locks.

Bug in Network Usage stat
nobnut has reported incomplete stats for network usage (list does not show all apps that have generating network traffic). I reproduced this on Gingerbread where my phone only shows google maps traffic. I could reproduce this on HSDPA as well as on Wifi. The figures that are shown seem ok and increases when I use Maps.
Now interesting is that this problem can not be reproduced on Froyo where reported apps concur with the Network stats from Spare Parts.
As the stat is incomplete I'll remove it from the app till I can find a solution.
When I noticed this, it occurred to me that perhaps user apps were not reporting their data, whereas the system apps were. I can get readings for a number of apps, they are all system apps however.
This may just be concidence.

Not sure since I can't get there on spare parts.
It was in battery history and I think it was the default that came up that said "running" and it gives a percent of the time the phone is running.
I've seen that pegged at 100% with no wake locks, so that still indicated a problem.
Very cool, thank you for your efforts. Downloaded and following on twitter/subscribed to the thread.

Ok here's what I have on Froyo going to Spare Parts:
. Battery Information: useless
- Usage stats: it's an poorly formated list of apps with the launch count and CPU time
- Battery History: a list of graphable buttons with following stats: Other usage, Partial Wake Usage, Sensor Usage, GPD Usage, Network Usage, CPU Usage. Each shows a list of apps/processes with blue/red bars.
Maybe you are talking about "Other usages". Here I see % running, %screen on, %wifi on

For bugs about 3.5.3.
Issue: When you press and hold the home button, the multi task will flash up and then exist.
Solution: Setting-> button -> desktop key -> choose none.
I have already flash back to beta 2, but this should be the way to solve the issue.
For tips about 3.5.3.
- on the music icon, press and hold, then swipe up. You will see a pop-up music control
- there is a battery saving mode in setting >battery. I think this have something to do with tune down cpu freqz to from 1.2 to 1Gz.

1. Uses material stolen from pengus77 without permission
2. Battery drain is higher than any other rom for the o2x
3. Our phone's low amount of available ram in android 4.0+ can't handle resource hungry miui any more. May be smooth at first but apps take a lot of time to open, compared to other roms, and multitasking can't be handled well(mostly due to low ram, again)
Those are the problems in descending order of importance, (and coupled with my lack of time) why you aren't seeing newer versions being released by me

that the low call volume on cm10 has to do with the noise cancelling mic not liking the AOSP drivers
Did you ever get data work in on this bad boy... and... is this a real patchrom port?
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Whenever I initially flashed this ROM (which I believe is the same one in the development section), I had issues with skipping whenever I was testing ViPER Audio, which I never had before. More than likely it was the fact that MIUI typically runs slower on lower end devices (unless it was the combination of FX + XHiFi), but after I flashed the Sultan Kernel I didn't seem to have any problems with that.
Along with that, I never tested data on the original kernel, but when I ran into the problem on my current kernel I just went to "Access Point Names" and changed it from ATT - wap.cingular to ATT- Phone. That seemed to clear up any connection issues when using data...
But again, that's assuming that both posts contain the same ROM.
Also, thank you for posting this, I've been dying to get my hands on this version for a while now. Seems like the HTC Vivid is starting to regain a bit of momentum again.
Cheers!

I couldn't get bluetooth to work on this rom (in development section sharing your name on the kernel). I tried Sultan's kernel, and it also didn't have working BT. Anyone else have luck with BT?

[APP][5.0+]OBD2 Plugin for Android Auto - Use Torque with AndroidAuto

Update 30.11.2022
End of life and open source.
Due to lots of changes both in Android and in my life, I do not have the possibility to maintain / update the code any further, therefore I've decided to open source.
Code is accessible: https://github.com/borconi/obd2aa
I will like to thank all of those who supported this project.
App Requirement
Torque Pro
OBD2 Reader
Android Auto compatible headunit or at least a copy of the Headunit Reloaded App (see signature).
This app will have limited functionality if you are using Android Auto on a your phone, the only functions you will be able to use is to see are notification about the speed cameras and street card!
Gauges and torque data will NOT work!
Previous XDA purchases can be reclaimed here: https://www.b3itlabs.com/download.php
How to purchase:
Visit: https://www.b3itlabs.com/prod.php?id=2
Instructions on how to get it running:
Option 1 - Will work on any phone & car/headunit combination, however the following features won't: - AutoPlay Music, 6 Tap limit remover, DPI change
After installing the app from XDA Labs, sign up for beta testing here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/uk.co.boconi.emil.obd2aa and update the app
Once app is updated, make sure you disable auto-update in PlayStore then please uninstall it and reinstall it from XDA Labs.
With your screen unlocked, plug in the phone to the car, when prompted which app to use make sure you select "Android Auto"
Option 2 - Might NOT work on some device combination (for sure it won't work on Xiaomi phones), but if this method works all functions of the app are available
Install
Make sure you do not have any other 3rd party app Android Auto app installed.
Open the app and hopefully it will be quite self explanatory on how to set it up (choose colours, set gauge number, etc)
Open Android Auto (on the phone), go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times, once you are a developer from the 3 dotted right corner menu select "Start Headunit Server" (ROOT users can skip this step!)
Close Android Auto
MAKE SURE YOUR SCREEN IS UNLOCKED and connect to the car, when prompted which app to use select "OBD2AA" and always (this needs to be done one time only) - If you are a HUR user select Android Auto and always! (If you do not see the prompt to chose, please go to settings -> apps -> all apps -> Google Play Services -> Clear Defaults and then try again)
Select the last tab on the right, by pressing it again you should see an app selector and choose OBD2AA
Give it a bit of time to start pulling the data from Torque.
Change log
Version 3.2 and 3.3 released 04/11/2018
Fix "drunk" map effect on Sync 3 units
Fixed rooted devices not being able to start headunit server.
Added option to change DPI for your screen!
Added option to auto play music on start
Added option to select default start screen.
Version 3.1 releases 26/08/2018
Compatibility fix for Pie devices.
Tap limit remover now working on all device
Tap limit remover allows Maps to be searchable even when driving.
Can be used for those who have problem with the parking brake wire.
Freeze issues fixes.
Important notes
Version 3.0 releases 05/07/2018
Compatibility fix for AA 3.0 and above.
Added option for overriding 6 tap limits
Added option for Bluetooth Audio output.
Important notes
Thanks to @slash_m_a_x for the support offered on this.
- Some users have reported choppy audio when using the app, this will mainly be due to the speed of the phone, the buffer on the car/headunit and other factors which are out of my control, if that is the case and you cannot use the app please feel free to contact me for a refund.
- Bluetooth Audio output might not work on all devices, it does depend how the car/headunit handles the Bluetooth. There will be devices which completely disable A2DP/Bluetooth capabilities of the car when Android Auto is running. In this case all the sound will be heard from the phone speaker rather then the car speakers.
- Tap limit will be disabled only for cars/headunits which are equipped with a GPS.
- In rare cases it can happen that after unplugging the phone from the headunit you will see a message which says that you are still connected to Android Auto, simply Force Stop the Google Play Services.
- You always need to make sure that Headunit Server is running on the phone (unless you have root), if the icon bothers you simply hide it.

TPMS Screen (if you have PID's for TPMS data)
Possibility to use custom background/needle for each gauge
Low Fuel warning

How to use it?
Open app and select each PID you want to display on your screen, adjust the number or gauges you want to see adjust the preference for each PID. If you want to use custom background/needle and interested on how to, please read HERE
Locking Pid values
On some PID's Torque reports wrong min/max values, by default if while using the application a reported value is higher/lower than the initially reported range, the app will adjust the range to the new values. However in some cases this is not desired and you will like to specify manually what is the min and max value for the give PID. In this case, simple edit the minimum/maximum for the pid and they will become locked, meaning the app won't make any adjustments.
By editing, it means you have to change the min or max value, the lock is triggered by the first keypress on this input fields.
The lock will be automatically removed when you select a different PID for the same gauge.
Preferences menu
Alternative pulling - Only enable this option if you have difficulties getting gauges updated, it uses an old deprecated method of obtaining data so should not really be used.
Enable debugging - Only enable it if you have problems with the app and I requested you to collect a bug report, otherwise it will spam the logs for no reason.
Automatically start Torque on Android Auto - Nothing to explain here
Launch FartKontrol on start - launches a Danish Speed Camera app (useless outside Denmark)
Custom Background (any background you will like to use instead of the black color)
Demo - When enabled random data is generated for the PID's just to see how things will look (in case you do not have an OBD2 adapter), so don't enable it.
Pid Alarms section. You can set up a low level fuel warning (displayed as a heads up notification) and a notification when the engine is warmed up. There a several PID options for both of this, pretty self explanatory.
TPMS Settings
- You set up the 4 PID's for TPMS, this will be used to display the tyre pressure values on the TPMS screen inside Android Auto
Speed Camera
Show current street card - Displays information about current street (name and speed limit if know). This information is updated once in 5 seconds and at a minimum distance of 200 meters so it's not 100% accurate it's more for general information.
Enable speed camera warnings - This will enable the app to display speed camera warning when driving, like any app which does this it relies on a database, which means it does NOT guarantee that it will warn you of all the cameras, and it might also produce false warnings. All options are pretty self explanatory.
Export & Import
- Allows you to export your current app configuration file which can later be imported (grate way of saving time of re-doing everything) after a clean install or so. The format use for Export & Import is JSON so if you want you can manually edit/adjust the values. Please see following post for more details about the sturcture/value/meanings
Permissions
Read notification permission - Only required so the app can read the notifications from CamSam and display them on AA scren
Locations - Only required if you want the app to overwrite the day/night theme based on sunset/sunrise
Storage - Only needed if you want to use your personal image as a background and/or planning to import/export settings
Can I create my own layout for the gauges?
- Yes, see instructions below:
Here is an example of the XML structure required, once you created the XML please send it over by email to [email protected] and I will include it in the next build.
Code:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:tag="wrapper_layout">
<!-- Left column -->
<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|start"
android:tag="gauge_2"
/>
<!-- Middle column -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:tag="gauge_1" />
<!-- right column -->
<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|end"
android:tag="gauge_3" />
</FrameLayout>
Important
Each view must contain a tag, which is formated like in the example, where the number corresponds to the Gauge number from the setting screen.
The layout which wraps everything together must have a tag called: wrapper_layout
You are free to use any Layout you want, except ScrollView.
How to produce bug report?
Step 1 you need to enabled debugging in OBD2AA app, then follow this instruction set:
2. Enabling Developer Mode
Open Settings > About phone.
Scroll down to the Build number.
Tap the Build number 7 times in quick succession until "You're now a developer" appears.
Return to the Settings menu and select Developer options.
At the top of the screen, make sure 'Developer options' is set to On (green).
Scroll down to Debugging and enable both USB debugging and Bug Report Shortcut on (green).
Tab on Logger buffer sizes: Default setting is 256K. Select 16M to help capture more information for debugging. Of note, it can affect the apps performance especially with lower spec phone, so change it back after you have finished submitting bug reports.
3. Capturing a Bug Report
It's very important to do this right after you experience the issue again, so your device can log at least one occurrence of the issue.
Hold the Power button down until the menu appears.
Select Take bug report. and wait for the device to capture the bug report.
Tap the 'Bug report captured' notification when it appears.
Share the bug report. (I recommend to email it to yourself.)
Download the bug report to your computer.
Send the bug report by email to [email protected]
I have decided to open up my software, meaning I have made the source code available on GitHub, but it's only available for personal use, and you are not allowed (under any form) to redistribute your own version of the app. You can download and compile it yourself if you wish to do so, and you can implement your own changes for your own personal use, but you cannot create clones of the software which you redistribute under your own name. Source can be found here: https://github.com/borconi/obd2aa.
Due to the fact that there are some irresponsible developers out there, who created video apps for moving cars, which was one of the main reasons Google blocked 3rd party apps, I won't be updating the code on github any more, to try to prevent those developers to use my technique to overcome the limits. If you are developing a 3rd party app and you will like to know more about how I have done this, you are always welcome to contact me. If your project is something useful, I will be more then happy to share things with you.
This does not mean it is now a free app and apk can be freely shared!
Amazing work Emil, this along with your (and ofcourse @mikereidis) Headunit Reloaded app is perfect for Android Auto on the cheap ,
Gotta subscribe to this thread! The possibility of custom PIDs would be of huge interest to me.
Seems like its stuck without any option to change on Kmph rather than mph for speed etc, its set to mph in torque

No. I have to try with a USB soundcard (which I use with my Odroid) but haven't got the chance yet, or I might just hook my himbox to the AUX in and use it that way. The built in mic is almost unusable especially over 30 MPH.
And first version of the app is live!
Bought, installed and looking good.
I've got the Prius PIDs plugin installed in Torque so I can see the data on my Prius C.
Only about half those PIDs are available to be selected, it looks like it's hitting the maximum number of allowed items in the "Select PID" list.
Great, could you please tell me, where I can find it?

The XDALabs app was a pain, I had to:
Install the XDA app from the Play Store
Log in
Install the XDALabs app it prompted me to install
Log in again
Then open Emil's link from the first post in the XDALabs app.
Ok, thank you. Any chance to have this in play store?
Hi.
Sorry for the pain caused by XDA labs, unfortunately Google play rejected the app submission so I cannot make it available trough that channel.
As for custom PIDs yes intending to support them in the future. Currently torque doesn't provide a method to expose them to 3rd parties so I need to speak with Torque developer if that is possible, alternatively I will need to fallback to manual PID configuration.
I will see if I can build a quick webpage to host/sell the app could potentially make it easier to get the app, but it will make it more difficult to keep it updated.

Understood, I had a feeling Google wasn't going to allow it.
One of the issues with XDA is that you can get there via the web but it's not obvious at all how to buy it from there.
Then you have to jump through hoops to get the right app.

It's already showing around half of the Prius custom PIDs, it's like the list just runs out of space for more items.

I'll send you a logging version at some point this weekend just to see if how much data Torque actually send over. For example it doesn't show any of my custom PIDs for KIA.
Thanks for this, it is awesome..
A magnificent add to the current great app.
Here is photo of my test
too low ISO 320.
My Observation:
1: I added in Gauge 2 : Volts(CM), then put "13.5" in W.Level 1, and 12 in W.Level 2, when I switch to ODB2AA it wont open and switch back to the current tab.
then I changed W.Level 1 to "13" and it works, so looks like it wont accept a decimal value!, don't know if its a bug or error from my side.
2: Each time I switch to the OBD2AA tab it takes 13s for the data to be pulled.
3: Just once "no data pulling", I had to unplug/plug usb to work.
suggestion:
* It would be good if there is a timeout option for the data pulling to stop, so no 13s delay when switch back and forth in that time, I don't know if it is applicable in AA.
Great job Emil.
