Gear change indicator app for Android

[ivacf]

Hi, I just want to ask for some help testing my app. I started it one year ago as my BSc final year project but I didn't publish it till now.

Basically, this app helps you save fuel by indicating when to shift gear and also displays real time data such as revs, speed, throttle... You need an ELM327 Bluetooth adapter to use it.
I could only try it with 4 different cars and I always used the same OBD adapter so, though it should works fine with any diesel or gas car, I'm sure there are bugs. Therefore, if you've got an OBD adapter and an Android 2.2+ device It'd be great if some experts in the field like you can try it and give me some feedback.

I can't post any link yet so if you want to try it you can search for EcoShifter on Google Play (Android Market) or visit ecoshifter.com

Many thanks!

New version (beta 0.2) out today!

What's new?

• Notification while app is reading data from the car ECU.
• Wake lock bright to keep the same level of brightness while the app is connected to the ECU.
• More flexible RPM range when setting up a car profile.
• For those cars that don’t have a throttle sensor: fixed bug that makes app crash after connecting to ECU. Now the app won’t crash but obviously the throttle bar doesn’t work.
• Minimum speed of 10 km/h to go first gear.
• Other minor bugs fixed and better performance.

Get it on Google Play for free.
Enjoy it!

Sorry for not giving you any feedback, but I don't have a bluetooth ELM or an Android.

Same, I sincerely hope things go well for your project, but I shift at 900 rpms for eco mode, and 6200 for go fast mode, so your program would be little use to me if I even could plug in two readers, and had the blue tooth.

Hope more people take interest

Hello,

I'm not sure if someone from this forum found this app useful but just in case. I recently published EcoShifter Pro with a lot of new features and improvements:

* Completely redesigned UI (cleaner, nicer and easier).
* Android 4.x-friendly app but still compatible with Android 2 and 3.
* Support tablets, 7 and 10 inch.
* Acceleration/deceleration indicator with arrows
* Full screen mode when connected.
* More stable and accurate

Check it out on Google Play searching for "EcoShifter Pro" and maybe give it a go.

Thanks!
