Installing Applications Through the Android Market

The Android Market is essentially Android’s answer to Apple’s iPhone App Store. As of September 2009, the Android Market already offered well over 10,000 applications, and this number has only continued to grow. In addition to the applications the Android Market offers, you can also use it to install other downloaded third party applications.

  1. Copy the APK file to your Android’s memory card and insert the card into your phone.
  2. Download and install the Apps Installer application from the Android Market
  3. Once installed, the Apps Installer will display the APK files on the memory card.
  4. Click and install your APK files.

Installing Applications With Android SDK

It is possible to install APK files without utilizing the Android Market, although the process is more difficult and complex. To avoid the Android Market, you need to use Android SDK.

  1. Download and install the Google Android SDK program and the Android USB drivers. The download links are as follows: http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html
  2. http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
  3. You need to modify your Android’s settings to allow the installation of applications from other sources. Under “Settings,” select “Application Settings” and then enable “Unknown Sources.” Also under “Settings,” select “SD Card” and “Phone Storage,” and finally enable “Disable Use for USB Storage”
  4. This last step is easy. Open Command Prompt and type the following: adb install <1>/<2>.apk
  5. However, when you type the command, replace <1> with the path to your APK file and replace <2> with the name of the APK file.
  6. You’re done! Your application is now ready for your use and enjoyment.

What’s in Torque Pro (OBD2 & Car) version 1.6.19:

Tip:Turn on ‘Faster Communication’ in the OBD settings for faster read speeds!

BUGFIX for a bug that crept into 1.6.18 causing the app to crash on start

Maintenance release – fixes some minor bugs reported by users

Sony Xperia P ‘pin issue’ fix

Changes for Innotrends units that update via Google Play

If your phone goes slow when Torque quits then you have bugged bluetooth drivers – enable the ‘Hang fix for HTC/Samsung’ in the settings (set it to ‘Yes’) to work around the issue


Measure BHP, Torque & 0-60

Clear car OBD faults

View engine data in Google Earth


See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!


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

  • Video your journey using the Track Recorder plugin with onscreen OBDII data overlay – a black box for your car/truck!

  • Automatically send GPS tagged tweets directly to twitter (for example if you are going on a road trip)

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. (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 Kiwi Bluetooth, ELM327 and other ELM adapters are supported – search on google for them


More features added every release – there are 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!
