Please, add option to display current speed of data transfering via wifi/cellular network (uploading/downloading) in status bar.

Also, I think, some other information (icons) could be displayed in status bar, e.g. installation progress (useful when installing app from local storage), toh connected, low internal storage space(!), memory card connected, sim card is not detected etc. Give ability for apps to show icons in status bar, not only in events screen, and add this function to API.

Generally I think a stable API for extending the status bar would be the best. Like this third party developers could improve the status bar without placing more burden on the already overworked Jolla developers. It would also contribute to the promised #cocreation & working on stuff #together spirit. :)

Yes, it's for apps too:) But main idea is increased functionality of status bar, as MartinK said. Would be great if API will make it possible and not only to display static icons in status bar but some interactive areas (as speed of data transfering) too.

Yes, status bar should be customizable. there are multiple internet speed meter apps on android, but they dont work on shailfish and status never shows the live net speed. the same apps work perfect on stock android. shailfish should definitely support this at the earliest. or provide an inbuilt system settings to show live net speed.
