I still find the braking not accurate nor sensitive enough.

You are using 2.3?

An app like this should be possible. I saw an app somewhere that was for vehicle diagnostic that utilized a bluetooth OB2 adapter that plugged into the vehicle.

The bluetooth adapter was fairly inexpensive.

I actually have a buddy that's using that setup in his Mitsu Lancer Evo X to log his Time Attack runs and it measures his speed, G's pulled, lap times, corner entry and exit speeds, allows him to measure just about everything and the GPS refresh rate with the external GPS unit is alot higher than the internal GPS provided with the phone. The application is called Trackmaster and it has other useful features as well. It IS a Paid app, but definitely worth the approx. $7-$8. There's also an app named Dynomaster that i have on my phone that measures several different things including lap times, 0-60 times, 0-100 times, G's pulled, and it even logs your tracks around whatever track your running on. Another cool feature is that it uses Google Maps to show you satellite images of the track your running on. Hope this helps a little. I sound like i'm trying to sell it or something..... lol my bad. :P

you can always try the torque application in the market, although you'll need a bluetooth OBDII adapter. I have one of these on the way to work with torque:

1 thing I noticed after opening it then closing it. My gps is still active after closing the app.

Odd that hasn't happened to me yet.

How well did it judge your driving?

I am planning to add mapping and logging if it is something users would like to see

still stuck at work for 2 more hours. Will try then.

rebooting the phone turned off the gps

You shouldn't gave to do that. A faster way if it gets stuck is to create a short cut to settings/ running services that way you can see them quickly and kill what you need to.

The app has kill code for the gps when leaving the app
