About ALDLdroid

ALDLdroid is an application for OBD1 GM (ALDL) ECMs. It is currently compatible with both 160 baud and 8192 baud protocols. ALDLdroid is compatible with TunerPro files (ADX) for data logging, just make sure you have the ADX file for your ECM before purchasing the app. If the app doesn't come pre-packaged with the ADX file you need, you will need to add your file to the ADX directory of the ALDLdroid folder on your Android device once you've started the app for the first time and the folders structure has been created. The application has also been used beyonds GM ECMs. With the proper XDF file (make sure your file is not encrypted), it can do tuning file editing on other car/motorcycle brands such as BMW N54, Buell, DSM, Ducati, Ford, Holden, Nissan, Porsche, Volvo, Fiat, Renault, etc. Just make sure your can source the XDF file for your application before purchasing the app. The tuning section uses TunerPro files as well (XDF) to allow editing BIN files. Real-time tuning is currently supported with the Moates Ostrich and the Moates AutoProm hardware. Real-time tuning for NVRAM based ECUs has also been added (only tested with Australian ECUs such as the Delco '808). Chip programming is also possible using the Moates BURN1/BURN2 hardware. Currently, connection to the ECM can be made using Bluetooth or USB (FTDI). Make sure that your Android device support one of these two connection methods. USB host mode is supported on most devices these days but note that having a USB port on your Android device doesn't automatically means it support USB host mode. For GM OBD-I, ALDL adapters to connect the application to your GM ECM for data logging can be purchased here if you don't already own one: - Bluetooth version: https://reddevilriver.com/home-page/ols/categories/bluetooth-scan-devices - USB version: https://reddevilriver.com/aldl.html or http://aldlcable.com/ By double tapping on any page of the dashboard, you enter the dashboard edit mode. That mode allow full customization (add/edit/delete) of the dashboard indicators. You can easily drag indicators where you want them. You can also add indicators in the format you want: gauge, basic readout, bar graph or histogram. Colors can be customized along with some styling. Alarms can be set and once your alarm value has been entered to trigger an alarm, an indicator can be configured to turn red and/or the Android app can vibrate. The app includes a couple log viewers. One allow you to see your data logs in a scatter plot format where you can select the X/Y/Z axis from columns of your data log files. The second one allow you to see your GPS data on a map and can be merged with the third viewer that is the regular log viewer that can shows time series of data from any columns of your data log files. See screenshots to see all three of them. No refund can be made after the 15 minutes allowed by Google Play. It would probably be a good idea to check with online communities that use the same ECM as you if they…

What ALDLdroid Is Used For

ALDLdroid appears to be a phone app for working with OBD1 GM ALDL engine control modules, mainly for data logging and tuning tasks. Based on the metadata, it is used with Bluetooth or USB interfaces to connect an Android device to a vehicle ECM and view live information, capture logs, and interact with supported ALDL protocols.

The app also seems to support TunerPro file types, including ADX files for logging and XDF files for editing tuning data. That suggests it may be useful for users who already have compatible files and hardware for specific ECU or ECM setups. The permissions and connection options indicate a workflow centered on Bluetooth device pairing, USB storage access for importing or saving files, and network access for related app functions. It is a phone-focused automotive utility rather than a general driving app, and some features may depend on the correct adapter, files, and supported vehicle hardware.

Common uses

Connects an Android phone to compatible GM OBD1 ALDL ECMs for live diagnostics and logging
Uses Bluetooth or USB FTDI adapters for vehicle communication
Works with TunerPro ADX files for data logging when the matching file is available
Can use XDF files to edit BIN tuning files for supported setups
May help users monitor and customize dashboard-style indicators on the phone
Supports dashboard editing with gauges, readouts, bar graphs, and histograms
Relies on compatible hardware and files, so setup depends on the vehicle and ECU being used
