Diffusion of Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer - Off-topic

Greetings everyone, I had no luck in getting an answer to my doubts on Stack Exchange, so I thought I'd ask here, considered the amount of Android expertise that is on this forum .
Recently I've worked with Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer on Android. I wondered how many apps used this technology, and was surprised when I couldn't find many. Since the technology is not brand new, I expected to find many apps leveraging it for the most various purposes on Google Play, with queries like "wifi direct", "wifi p2p", etc.
Not only I couldn't find many, I also noticed many are unmaintained/broken, and a lot of apps are just PoCs for Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer use, or all related to the same use case (P2P file sharing). The set of working and "popular" apps with Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer that I could find is in the order of a dozen.
Questions: do you agree with my considerations on the limited diffusion of the technology, or am I mistaken? If you know/worked with a lot of apps that employ Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer, could you share some hints on how to find them? If on the other hand I'm right, could you please provide some explanation for this phenomenon? I couldn't find any explanation, the technology seems useful.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

[IDEA]

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone out there has already thought of this or if this is even possible.
First off, I have no clue where to send suggestions to google, and I doubt they respond anyway so the best hope for this would be a community effort.
The Situation: (no Jersey shore jokes please) Well we're all annoyed by the rampant abuse of the Market by certain companies releasing and updating their pointless fact based apps, and that makes the whole "Just in" option useless.
We only have "Top Paid" and "Top Free".
Basically, the Android Market experience is pretty bad in terms of searching for apps though categorisation.
Proposed Solution:
What the Android Market needs is the following.
1. A Sort by Rating, Alphabetically, Date Released, Developer option (probably more but that's all I can think of now).
2. More sub-categories within the main ones. E.G Multimedia->Video Player/Music Player
What do you guys think? Is it plausible?
There have been countless discussions on this on here, other forums, news groups, Google official groups and everywhere else for that matter and in all honestly pretty pointless to talk about since Google appears to be in on hurry at all to resolve this issue.
(nothing against you, just stating facts).

Try appbrain.com they do a good job filtering the nuisance apps from the just in apps.

[Q] Gingerbread, SIP/VoIP and people from outside the US

I'm sorry if this has already been debated elsewhere. I did search and try to locate threads on this already, but didn't come up with anything which (seemed) relevant to this problem.
If anyone has a link handy for another thread which already discusses this, I'll close the thread if that is wanted.
With that said... Here's my issue.
As stated elsewhere, one of the main things which excited me about Gingerbread was the ability to do native SIP dialing. About time, I say! Now I've flashed Gingerbread on my SGS and so far the results has been below underwhelming.
From what I can tell this is how you get SIP/VoIP/Internet calling on your phone using Gingerbread:
1. Sign up for Google Voice.
2. Install Google Voice and sign in.
3. Voila. Your Gingerbread Android-device now has a bunch of SIP settings and options.
This is ofcourse, unless your manufacturer has somehow crippled your phone's software.
That might be the case with Samsung's firmware, but I wouldn't know because the steps outlined above is absolutely impossible for anyone outside the US. You cannot sign up for Google Voice anywhere else. End of story.
So. Is this for real? Did Google release a smartphone OS for worldwide consumption, touting "native SIP", native internet calling as feature and then implement it in a way which means it will only work in one country, all else be damned?
I seriously find this very hard to believe. There has to be a way to get this functionality up and running otherwise. Seriously? The internet maestros at Google implements a core OS-level function tied to (one) geo-location? Is third-party solutions ala Sipdroid the solution for everyone else?
So... Please tell me I am completely mistaken and that there are steps for getting SIP running on my phone, despite me not have an adress of residency ending in "US".
Any hints or links in any direction so that I can actually get to try this out would be über appreciated.
Bump.
I realize posting this while Europa were getting ready for sleep and only US-people were around might have been bad timing.
Just bumping this again to see if there's any more response. I can't seriously be the only one wondering about this.
If bumping is severely against forum policies, let me know and I'll make a note of it and wont do it again.

Use this zip as an update from CWM recovery, enables the menu "Internet call settings" under "Call settings".
Works on odex and deodex ROMS [I have the same JVB as the OP]
Problem solved
Thanks Vinnie.
Since I already have some framework-res.apk dependent mods, I just pushed the permissions-file as mentioned in that thread, and now I have "Internet calling options" available.
Yes, I realize this will only work while on wifi and SIP over 3G will be disabled, but at least it gives me something to experiment with so that later I will know if handing over my other mods for 3G VoIP/SIP will be worth it.
Thanks for the response and handy link. Now if XDA had better search, I might not have needed to pollute the forums with duplicates like this
Edit: Checked the entire thread and saw that there is an update.zip with eyecandy as well. Will try it out later.

[INFO] Using Chromecast (for region locked services)

Hi All,
To anyone out there who may require this information I wrote 2 decent length posts in the Chromecast Reddit around region locked country access and setting up source based routing on DDWRT for VPN of the chromecast device.
***mod edit
I'm unsure if linking to something I've written in a different medium violates any rules so if it does I'm sorry and I'll remove anything as needed.
if anyone has any questions about anything I wrote please feel free to ask - I spent a long time going through different services and networking configurations to set up a number of chromecast devices.
(P.S. as some of you are smarter than myself in areas if you believe I'm mistaken in any knowledge or should add anything please let me know!)
Why not post that information here instead of driving people to reddit?
You may find existing threads for it.

Looking for help in application development

Hi all, I'm interested in FOSS-related stuff and I believe this to be the proper forum (Stackexchange is a bit of a headache to use). I was looking for making an impenetrable network modeled after Tor that uses bogon addresses for websites instead of .onion or .i2p, and it also encrypts all your traffic over a cryptographic hash. I intend it to be for iOS as a developer IPA. You might have to back-up and store your key on a SD card and the only way you can unencrypt it is to have access to that SD. And it also spoofs your IP so ISPs cannot see your traffic. It works similar to a DDOS in that it uses BGP and martian addresses. Once downloaded via Torrent, you will be taken to a Firefox page of an adminlogin.php page, where you enter your credentials into. I'll call this an "open circuit". After you have set your username and password, you will be taken to a "closed circuit" which is basically what I'll call "Ghost Web". I'm assuming your traffic would be kinda slow, but as for how much, I have no clue. Does anybody have knowledge in this realm? And even if I got a few things wrong, anything close enough that'll make my custom idea for a perfect network work? I know Media Land LLC hosts these websites. Although I heard they're illegal. Is that true, because I don't have too much knowledge in the terms of IPs and all that ish.
Reason I ask is because nowadays privacy and free speech is getting destroyed by Big Tech monopolies. There are social media applications out there, some of which I might add are rather decent, like Rocket.Chat, Viber and Threema, but Tor and other forms of network technology always fall victim to the same problems they tried to address, and in many cases got abandoned (like CJDNS). Lokinet uses the Oxen blockchain, which, while it does make Sybil MITM attacks more expensive, however not impossible. I want censorship and privacy to be inevitable 100% with this app.

Hide GPS for betting

Hello, have some troubles with hiding on betting resources. My main goal to provide fake location for bet365. Main problem Firefox browser always asking ´´Allow bet365.es:443 to use your location?". Somehow I need to confirm this and provide fake gps.
I use Magisk+Hide my app list+Fake location and turn down all geoservices on my phone. Sure I try different option and proxy, but it give me a same thing - block my account.
If you have any ideas have to resolve please wrote on DM. I`m ready to cooperate.
Have you tried using a VPN to change your IP address instead of faking your GPS location? That might be a more effective solution. Additionally, some browsers have a built-in feature to prevent websites from accessing your location, so you might want to check your browser settings to see if that option is available. Good luck with resolving your issue! By the way, have you considered trying out some online casino sites? canlı casino siteleri can be a fun and exciting way to gamble from the comfort of your own home.

First of all, I need to hide my current location complex and all available option for Magisk hiding are tried
Thanks for sharing this solution. I'll definitely give your method a try.
Thanks for sharing your experience and seeking help with hiding your GPS on betting resources. I'm relatively new to gambling and sports betting myself, but I understand the importance of privacy and finding workarounds.
While I can't provide a direct solution here, I recently discovered a sports betting site called Bet365 that seems reliable. They offer a wide range of options and could potentially provide a solution or guidance for your situation. You can check them out at https://betcanada365.ca/sportsbook-review/bet365
What I use is Fake GPS Joystick and set this as my a fake mock location in developer setting, then you can either use the Hide Mock Location xposed module, or a Smali editor to fake mock locations.
With the Fake GPS Joystick app, you can set your location anywhere on the map easily, set up automatic routes, waypoints etc.
This way the whole system thinks you are at the set location and no app knows its not the true location.
Superbetting is also a reliable sports betting website
