This is a network signal icon that will always show the type of network, even if WiFi is connected. I was hoping I could get a few people to look at my changes and give me feedback. The biggest thing I have an issue with, is that it updates unpredictably while on WiFi, but it's original purpose still works, which is you pull out your phone, WiFi is sucking, see that you have LTE, so you just turn WiFi off (instead of hoping you have a good connection, you actually know). This also adds an option in Settings to enable it, called 'Always show type'.

You will need to build Cyanogenmod with these to ensure they work properly.

Files with changes are:

Settings.apk
res/values/cm_arrays.xml
res/values/cm_strings.xml

SystemUI.apk
src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/SignalClusterView.java
res/layout/signal_cluster_view.xml

Every change has 'always' near it, so just Ctrl+F and search for 'always' (without ' ).

Any feedback is welcome :D

Screenshot and apk source folders attached.

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION.
