First suggested by pacibum

Add an option to open mobile network settings instead of nettype when tapping on notification.

When roaming no network type is indicated.

Device: Nexus 5

NOTE: Not a bug report, misunderstanding on my part

Requested by Alex.
Bug report also submitted by Martin.

Please add support for DCHSPAP network, it displays as unknown.
Some phones display it as DC.

Re-do icons with bigger symbols

Suggested by Adjel and Vel

Indicate connection status on notification icon

Necessary to indicate mobile data on/off in icon

To ease propagating changes to all densities

ldpi and hdpi icons have a non-integer relationship to the other sizes, hence resizing involves antialiasing.

Design icons for these sizes when re-designing icons.

Display signal strength in dbm/asu in the notification

Branch off 1.3 to add small changes before 1.4

Branch off 1.3, turned into 1.4 since it adds new features

No need for description

Should switch to a multi-apk release, where older versions of Android (pre-ICS) will only get bugfixes.

Reported by David

The icon and main app can get out of sync on version 1.4

Probably related to FS#255.
1.4 used separate network listeners for notification and main app, with the main app always listening for signal strength changes (and notification doing so optionally).

Rare reports, not reproducible, but similar causes.

Initially fixes (believed to be) only required for older devices.
Now also seen on newer devices

Received reports on newer devices, sync changes from older droids’ branch

I like it better when there's no option to open network setting and disable
notification at the status bar drawer

Feedback from Evgenij Gerasimov:

Useful app but New submenu ('Network' and 'Remove notification' buttons), right under
regular notification is not a thing I'd like to see everytime I open a notification area.
Mainly because it's useless at all and takes too much place.
There should be an option in the app that would allow not to show this submenu, I think.

Add as a configurable option

Affects new droids and old droids branches.

Has never been reported in the developer console.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.4.4

More modern UI elements. Only supported in Android 4.0 (API level 14) and up.
