Re-do icons with bigger symbols

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.

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.

No need for description

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

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.

Apart from DC-HSPA+ ( FS#238 ) there’s three extra types: GSM, TD-SCDMA and IWLAN.

Android (Lollipop API21 and up) now support vector based assets and Android Studio/Gradle 1.4 will convert to PNGs on compilation for backwards compatibility.

Should replace the current SVG+scripts method to the integrated one.

Currently, pre-Honeycomb, the theme is based on the old default theme, post-Honeycomb it’s based on Holo.

However starting with ICS there’s also a DeviceDefault theme that makes the app look more integrated (i.e. it looks like Holo on older devices, and like Material on newer ones).

Nowadays it’s common practice to have apps with light themes by default

Should be very careful to stay within Google’s AUP though

Events are handled in different groups, it makes sense to handle them in as few listeners as possible (where they can be logically grouped)
