Torque

Who here has tried torque for OBDII? I have seen youtube videos of it in action with cars other than our's. It seems like a great program when paired with on OBDII Bluetooth dongle that actually works.

I like it too, but for some reason I tried to use it last week when I CEL popped on and it wouldnt connect. It could be my ROM (Im rooted) or the bluetooth dongle

I flashed a new rom and kernel but havent tried it again. It used to work great though. I like the data logging function.

I rooted my phone not too long ago and as a result I now have screen shot capabilities. Here's a screen shot of the program in action, I've used it to check and clear several CELs on my friends' cars.



If anyone else wants some more I can take them when I have time.
