I recently published my first Android app, and I hope someone else finds it useful. It's a bit of niche tool, but comes to cover a missing feature of some phones.
This is a tool for those that like to know which kind of network coverage type they're under –in other words, if they're on a 2G, EDGE, 3G, etc… network–, yet their phone, like mine, doesn't display such information automatically.
It shows a status bar icon and a permanent notification identifying the network type.
It takes as little memory as possible and barely any CPU time, for those with severely limited handsets. Like me.
Unlike with my previous tools and not releasing the source code, for the time being, until I get more comfortable with Android development.

I have a Gal S-3. I live in the Ft Polk Area of Leesville La. Bad Cell coverage. This is a great tool for me to see the advancement going on with Sprint and the upgrades they are performing in this Area. I hope to keep you informed of how it works. Thanks.
