Network Type Indicator

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).

No need for description

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

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

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

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

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

Reported by Marcel Bokhorst

Starting with Lollipop notifications are shown in the lock screen expanded, and their
contents will be hidden if public visibility isn’t set explicitly.

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).

It doesn’t make sense to load on boot if we won’t be displaying the notification.

Da migliorare Non parte al boot

LG G5 (h1) / Marshmallow / r14034

Reported by Simon Howard 18/12/2016 on Google Play

Issue with auto start on boot I’ve had this app for some time now, but it will not auto start on boot on my current phone (Galaxy S5, Marshmallow 6.01)

Galaxy S5 (klte) / Marshmallow / r14034

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)

This setting is shown regardless of version but it has no effect on older Androids since they don’t support notification actions.
