Network Type Indicator

Network Type Indicator is an Android App that places an status bar icon acording to the type of mobile network in use (e.g. 2G, 2G+, 3G, ...).

This app is meant for devices that may not include this information in the status bar by default (e.g. Xperia or Galaxy phones).

Great app but
This is a great app I really like it it would be nice if it could also display
the data traffic not only the network type, like having the H+ and the up/down
arrows showing the data traffic and this app would be awesome!

Only feasible if it won’t add unnecessary complexity.

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).

This task depends on reports of such issue.

So far all reports are on Marshmallow:

Reported by Charles Kanegeni 20/02/2016 on Google Play

New issue Great app, have always used it. Just upgraded to marshmallow and now it won’t even start. What’s up with that? From Android 5 I had problems, plus doesn’t support dual Sim phones. This is the new direction, twin Sim phones. Please work it out.

From feedback, by Martin Buch:

Would like an option to only display status bar icon when roaming. Its really only when roaming I need this information as the stock network type indication is replaced with an ‘R’ on my Nexus 6P (when roaming).

Many phones seem to do that.

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
