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

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

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

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).

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

No need for description

Branch off 1.3 to add small changes before 1.4

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

Display signal strength in dbm/asu in the notification

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.

To ease propagating changes to all densities

Necessary to indicate mobile data on/off in icon

Suggested by Adjel and Vel

Indicate connection status on notification icon

Re-do icons with bigger symbols

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.

Suggested by Adjel and Vel

Add a possibility to change icons, possibly customise them with themes

Submitted by Adjel

When roaming no network type is indicated.
